A NOVEL PaocsDuRa or RAcD
CoUsss.-On the 18th inst, the trotting
horse Jack Stewart accomplished the
feat of trottisg twenty miles 10 one
hour-old Trustees fea,-fo. Eve thous-
and dollars. A dispatch giving an &C.
count of the race proceeds to say
The agen, Of the Society for the Pre-
ventiou Of Cruelty to Animals was on
hand, accompanied By a veterinary sur
geon, and after the trOt was over insis-
ted on an exam patton of the horse to
ascertain whether he had been injured.
HIS object was, in case the horse ap-
peared to be strained or hurt, to have
both the owner and hackers arrested
for cruelty. The surgeon pronounced
the horse in good and uninjured con-
dition. and there were consequently no
arrests.
One is led to ask, suspiciously,
whether this ceremony is to be attribl-
ted to the earnestness of the said Society
or the righteousness, in an advertising
way, of the owners of horse who
needs an established reputation for bot
tom.

poor woman had sufficient presence of

succeeded in maintaining her position
until Hook and Ladder Company No.
arrived. Immediately a ladder was
reared agains, the burning building, and
one of the men, Henry Ro-ksmp, as

there was siill somebody IN the build
