A new race-course in Oneida county was
completed the other day, and was christened
by trotting match. The event, of course,
drew an immense crowd of rustics, among
whom was somewhat celebrated runrer from
Richfield Springs, named Butterfeld, who
boasted of never having been beaten in a foot
race. Between the heats in the trot, green
looking couniryman proposed to have little
run, Ills for fun" Butterfield and a number
of others instantly jumped at the proposition,
and prepared for the encounter. The cOun-
tryman stood looking at the preparations, and
when completed, stepped forward and startled
the crowd by SAYING 10 y strong nasal tone,
"sswow bieve I'll put my foot in this little
gallop myself"
The announcement that the Yankee intend
ed to run with But,er6eld, created considesa-
BILE amusement, and when he reiterated that
he would beat their iavorIte tor a lew dollars,
il was the OCCASION OF still more tuD. The
Yank meant business, however, and pulling
out his wallet, covered all the bets that were
offered, and even offered odds on himself
The bets being all made. and the rest OF the
runners ready, our hero prepared himself for
the contest. ,Diyestire himself of b;s linen
shoes and stockings, he stood revealed, dressed
in nice silk tights spiked English racing shoes
and handsomely embroidered jacket, and
announced himself ready ''for the fray."
The match commenced. and the rustics saw
that they had caught Tartar. The way he
got away from the poor fellows was a caution,
winning the three heats and all their spare
monev, some $3.50. BY way OF soothing their
wounded feelings, he informed them that his
name was j. w. Cozad, well-known as the
champion runner of the United States. The
inhabitants out that way don't want to run
any more races.-Aibany Ere Jour.

In 1907 France was at war with Prussia.
In 1870, which embraces the same figures re-
versed, there are again hostilities between
them. In 1756 there was also war between
the same powers, in which France sustained
a terrible defeat. Just fifty years after that
event, 1906, Prussia was Inundated, yea,
more than that, almost destroyed, by the dis
astrous double battle of Jena and Auerstadt.
In commenting upon that event the English
historian, Allison, whose sympathies were
with Prussia, says: "Such were the disas.
trous battles of Jena and Auerstadt, which
Frustrated the strength of the Prussian mon
archy, and in one day effected that which all
the might Of Russia, Austria and France had
been unable to effect in the seven years. war,
from 1856 to 1763." Curiously enough, sixty
years from that time, in 1866, Prussia was
raised to the height OF power by the extraor-
dnary results of the battle OF Sadowa.
In 1906, the Russian power received a
crushing defeat in the great battle OF Auster-
litz, in which three Emperors were present,
viz. The Emperors of France. Russia and
Austria. The forces of the two latter were
uniel, but four fiiths OF those who participat-
ed in the struggle at AusterlItz, were Russian.
A half century passed away, and in 1855, the
French and the Russians were contending tor
supremacy at SebastapUl, under Emperors Of
the same names as those who met in 1905.
In 1909 the French were at war with the
Austrians, and entered Vienna in triumph

Virginia is developing a large trade In soft
white pine lumber, which is grown upon her
mountains in the western portion OF the
State. All this class OF lumber consumed

from that grown in Maine. They claim supe-
riority for it because it is not so much wind
