An GlG-Tinie Horse.

The following notes regarding the IA
nous racehorse Eclipse, are published
by the Turf, field and Farm:
:" The celebrated English racehorse
Eclipse, foaled April, 1864, was one OF
the most remarkable animals that ever
struck the turf with his feet. Mr..
O'Keliy purchased him for 50, $50, and
1t is estimated that the horse won for
his owner more than S125, 600 IN gold
cups, vases aud guinea purses. He
lived to the age of twenty-siX years,
when he died of collie and Inflammation.
Mr.. Plumer, son of Sir Thomas Plum
er, the former owner OF the es-
tate of Canons writes The horse
Eclipse was buried III the Park, not
far from what is called the saloon front
OF the house, AND there was stone
which marked the spot but IN the ex-
tensive alteration which my father made,
the stone, | think, got removed, al
though the spot where it was, was well
known to me now. and L shall be pleas
ed to offer my services as chaperon to
point it out.
The skull o Eclipse was preserved
in the range of stables, and L well
remember it's Wondering, dusty, moth
eaten reIuains, Which L am ashamed to
say were suffered to decay and grad
ually vanish from sight and memory.
The hoof, however, was set in silver
and preserved by my eldest brother,
whose son now has it. The estate of
Canons was won by Eclipse for the
equally famous Colonel Kelly, ofwhom
my father bought the place for ESQ, 900.
Eclipse was sired by Marske, and
his dam was Splletta, by Regulus.
He died at Canons, where he was
buried With almost regal honors. The
Challenge Whip was made from his
tail, and each treasured among his
collection hoof of the horse mounted
in silver.n

AssAssINATloN.-We learn from
parties, just arrived in Meridian,
from Kemper county, that Robt,
Dabbs, Of DeKalb, while passing
along the street, from supper to bis
store, about 8 o'clock last Saturday
night, was fatally shot, by a negro
through the body, and died Sunday
night. The negro was either con-
cealed to await the arrival of his
victim, or met him on the sidewalk
and fired. Our informant does moi
know which. We understand that
there had been some difficulty be,
tween Dabbs and the negro, some
days before, and that the negro had
threatened Mr.. Dabb's life, While
on his way from supper, and before
the shooting occurred, Dabbs was
met by another negro, and told that
this negro was going to kill him
1t seems TO have boen a deliberate
murder, The negro is still at large,

TIE LEXINGTON PoSTMASTER.-For
some weeks past the Democratic
press has had much to say about
the d~otaulting "Radical" PostRlaS-
ter at Lexington. Upon inquiry
we find that he is not u "Radical," "
but a Mycd nthc-wooI," native
born Democrat. He is Johuson's
appointoc, and held over under the
present administration on petition
of the Democratic citizens of Lex
ington and against petition Of the
Republicans to have him removed.
he has had nothing to do with our
party, nOr VIC with him.
Democratic papers will please
make Il note Of this.-Lcader.
The Leader is very confident il
has found a tbicving Democrat il

ington.
Take him out and hang him, anC
establish a good precedent and al
the Radical office holders in tn,
State will soon get their deserts.
