SuEAR1SG A HORSES TAIL.-There is a
backwoods town in the north part of Rhode
Island where in former times the rude but
strong minded natives were not partial to
what they esteemed new-fangled notions OF
religion. This town, though comprising
great wealth in the aggregate, and named
after that eminent lawyer and CHIEF
Justice Senator James Burrili, had n
population somewhat reckless in its cha
racter. Whenever missionary squattcd
among them they were in the habit of rid
ding themselves Of the nuisance (as they
esteemed him) by shearing his horses tail
go that it resembled the tail Of rat. In
the process of time a remarkably shrewd
man was sent there as missionary. " Don't
you shear the tail of my horse" said he
:'for if you do / ariN stay among goa
until the hair grouS out again" This
was poser for the Burrillvillians, and
not hair of his horses tail was ever
touched Ne,o Torh; Sun.

GRANGE OF INCENDrARIsM.-On the 9th
OF March last large distillery, known as
the Brophy distillery, was burned in Frede-
rickshnrg. Richard Hicks was, arrested for
the offence, tried, and acquitted. On We'd
nesday last Mrs. Marley said that Gran
vile Hicks knew al about it and he was
brought up to answer; which he did by
alleging that he heard "a conversation. >
ms reported in the Hcrald, "on Saturday
night the Sth of May between P. Marley
ana Thomas J. McSrcedcn, in which Mar
Key offered him (McSpccicn) twenty-five
dollars and a suit of clothes if he would
burn the distillery, and that the offer was
then and there accepted. Marley also in
formed McSpccdcn that he (Markcy) should
not be In town on the next evening, 90 he
intended to so to bowling Green on Sun
day morning. MarEcy was Immediately
arrested; and McSpCcIcn having removed
to Washington, officer Burlington was dis
patched thithcr to arrest him. On Tuesday
night he returned with his prisoner, and
the following morning Iarkey, Hicks, and
McSpecdcn, were brought out for trial. The
testimony of Hicks went on to show that
after the building Was fired on Sunday
h'Si'' -tS'alSSiSh IAN iilNu the IOOul
whore Hicks was asleep, walked him up,
and told him he had doac The job {; that it
was twenty-five dollars 50 easily made he
believed he would 90 into the business.
This testimony was rcbuttcd by several
female witnesses, who testified as to the
unworthiness of Hicks and of the pre-
scnce of McSpeedcn in their company at
the breaking out of the fire. The State was
represented by D. s. Dolbear, Common
wcalths attorney; the prisoner by A.
". Wallace, f. VI. n~"xton, and John T.
Goolrick, and the Insurance Company by
". 4. Little. The court sent the parties
on for trial at the HcXc session. Marley
was bailed in $500. Mcdonald secu-
rity. McSpeeden, in default Of bail for a
like amount, was sent to jail, and Gran
vile Hicks was set at liberty.
We deem it unfair and improper to dis
cuss or remark on the merits Of this case,
which will be ventilated in due time. The
facts, as they occurred il lie preliminary
examination, are given as they occurred.
President White, Of the Franklin Insurance
Company, was present at the trial.

LONDON, August 3O.-The Times says
the issue Of the Anglo-American b0at-racc
is no inapt illustration Of the difference be-
tween the two nations. The Englishmcn
were heavier than the IIarvards, but it re-
mains doubtful to which side the balance OF
strength inclined. As for gallantry, energy,
and pluck, Harvard showed m example we
may humbly hope 10 equal but cannot ex-
Gel. The victory was victory OF cduca-
ton. Here the advantage was all on our
side. We live n close life, competition is
sharper, and the lessons passed are search
ing and exact. The margin of our lives Is
so narrow that every possible economy Of
strength is utilized. Rowing with US is
science, developed by men who made 1t
their business, end knew that in contests
the slightest Wrinkle told. Thus Oxford
knew precisely where TO abstain as well as
where to abound. Advantage is not with
out drawbacks for nations, like men,

mcnt. so rs to be better able to meet the
days when the progress of others has equal

towards his home, but stopped at the house
OF friend short distance from the town,
where he spent the night. Saturday
morning he resumed his journey, and when
about six miles from Bristol, near Glib
bon'e, riding along unsuspiciouB Of danger,
he WAS fred upon with rifle by some per-
son from the rear. Upon hearing the re-
port of the gun, and feeling that he was
struck. Mr.. Heiskill looked quickly back in
the direction whence the shot came, and
saw David Rust running from the spot with
the rife in his hand. Mr.. Heiskill did not
fall from his horse, but rode half mile from
the place he was shot to mill on the road l.,
where he fell exhausted from the loss Of
blood. Upon examining the wound it was
found that the ball had entered little to
the right of the spine about midway of the
back, passing out just below the left breast.
and then passing through the left forearm,
inflicting what is supposed to be a mortal
wound. Mr.. IIeiskill WAS not dead Sunday
afternoon when the train left Bristol, but
his condition was such that but little hope
was entertained of his recovery.
After this cold -blooded and causeless as
sassination Rust ran off, and concealed
himself until Sunday evening, when he
was captured at his fathers house by par
ties who were in pursuit Of him. and lodged
in jail at Abingdon. We understand that
he stoutly and bitterly denies the charge
of being the person who fired the shot, but
the positive testimony of Mr.. Heiskill
leaves no doubt as to his identity.-Ly1ch-
