$4,000 On q Quarter Race.

Mr.. P. J. I.arkin, of Oak Ridge, and
Capt. Hardy, Of Brookhaven, Miss,
have arranged to run q quarter race at
this place on the 18th of October next,
for 5000 a side with $500 forfeit.
Mr.. Larl1in enters his dun mare Lille
Hamilton, well known about Monroe,
and Capt. Hardy enters his bay horse
Bob Lee. Mr.. Steve Grayson visited
Capt. Hardy, and, we believe, ar.
ranged the race. The Nickaburg Her.
aid of Wednesday has the following in
reference to this race:
The race, which j. to come of at
Monroe, La, will be no small affair,
as two OF the fastest quarter nags on
the continent, from all we can learn
IRE to be the contestants. 1t is moi
often that a bet Of $1,000 side IL en-.
tered into with a forfeit OF 80 500, Us is
the case in this instance, and the race
will elicit no small amount of interest
Some are already talking Of getting up

The crop of corn throughout this
section will not amount to q snfiiciency
for the cOuntrN'= need. The yield is
small, and the ear no, heavily grained.
We think it would he q good idea
for planters who do NOT expect 10 make
enough corn, to engage corn in the
West, deliverable in the winter.
Cotton generally looks very well,
but no safe calculation can DC made
upon what the yield viii be. \ great
deal depends upon the seasons and the
character OF the FAN. The plant looks
green and healthy. but is fully three
weeks behind in fruit. An early. frost or
very dry weather would seriously in
jure the prospect. We hear but little
said Of the caterpillar. We have in
spectCd only one farm: TN, doubt il
any real danger exists.

It is understood that Hodge has been
making fraudulent returns and statements
since 1866, and the money thus obtained
was spent in gold and stock gambling in
New York. The accused is most respecta-

assistant Secretary Of the Treasury. He
