VERMONT STATE AGRICULTURAL
SOCIETY.
SECRETARY's OFFICE,
Rutland, June II. 1877

rutland, June II, 1877. !
The lateness of the season and the in
suficiency of grass consequent thereon,
have made it necessity for the Vermont
State Agricultural Society to postpone
the trial of moving machines and hay
Implements, appointed to take place at
Rutland, June 18th and 26th, until
July 9th and 10th, 1872. Therefore
exhibitors and all others interested, will
take notice that the trial of moving ma
chimes and hay implements will take
place at Rutland, on Tuesday and We'd
nesday, July 9th and 10th, and continue
until the trial is fully completed.
The society regret the necessity that
compels the postponement, but they can
not avoid the natural laws of the season
and trust that those who have not al.
ready entered, will do so at once, that
the list of entrees may be made up.
We may be allowed to say the indica-
tions are that the exhibition will be one
of the largest, most thorough and inter-
esting yet held in the United States

CRIME IN New YoRK.-The last week
of May seemed more than usually pro-
life of capital crimes in the city of New
York. Seven dead bodies were found
floating in the docks, and several persons
mysterously disappeared. In all but
one instance the bodies found had marks
of the knife, pistol or bludgeon. Beside
these there were three cases of murder,
in which the ante-mortem testimony of
the victims has left no possible chance
or doubt as to their character. Add to
the total as above, countless number
of murderous assaults some of which
may end fatally, and record of crime
and violence is presented such as hardly
any other city in christendom can par.

MACE AND THE DRUG CLERK.
The English Champion 1Arashed By

The English Champion 7Hrasted By an
Amdteur III
An interesting scene took place at the
circus on Saturday night, in which a
well-known San Franciscan came off
with flying colors. A sparing match
had been arranged between Jem
Mace, the champion, and Charles A. Ben
net, a celebrated athlete, belonging to
the California Olympic Club. Mr.. Ben
net is drug clerk on Third street. He
was in boyhood a weak, puny fellow,
and many thought he already had the
consumption; but for number of years
he has devoted himself to gymnastic ex-
ercises and entirely recovered his health.
Among other accomplishments he has
become a proficient boxer. He Is a
gentleman, moves in good society, and,
of course, would never think of making
use of his talent in professional way
But he thought he would like to shy
his castor at Mr. Mace, in a friendly
way, and Saturday night the match
came off. Bennett is five feet eleven
inches in height, and in weight the two
men were evenly matched. They put
on the gloves at 10 o'clock, and the
match began. Both men were stripped
as though for fight. Bennet's muscle
stood up in great knots on his arms, and
his physical development was far supe-
rior to that of the champion. Mace led
off, but it was soon apparent from his
falling back on his well-known fighting
Observation-Disclosures he regarded Ben
net as no mean antagonist. Bennett par
'ried most of the blows aimed at him
with consummate skill and grace, and
succeeded in getting several sockdologers
home without the least apparent effort
They fought six rounds in all, in none
of which did Bennett get the worst of it
The exhibition was RATHER, Bennett
forcing the fighting all the while. in g
way that made the redoubtable champ
on vince Once Mace made one of hi
lightning lodges to avoid blow
from Bennett, but the latter, quick al
thought, caught, him with left
handed upper cut" which sent the
dodger sprawling in the saw-dust. A
this the enthusiasm in the audience be
came great, and the boxers were nois
lily cheered. Jack Wilson, the circus
man, became perfectly wild with de
light, and rushed into the ring waving
his hat and yelling Justify. Through
out the whole scene Bennett was as activ,
as kitten, thereby showing the result
of his gymnastic training, and his skill
in the ''manly art. He met and parriet
nearly all of Mace's blows, the latte
finding it quite difficult to get anywher
near his knowledge box" On the con
trary, quick as Mace is at lodging an,
avoiding blows, Bennett landed severa
crushers on his conk and "hash basket.
At the conclusion of the exercise Mac
seemed quite exhausted, while Benne
was apparently as fresh as daisy. TIL
champion has since expressed it as hi
belief that no man on the Pacific coas
could best the unpretending drug clerl
in fight, should he choose to enter tn
lists.-.Sam Francisco Chronicle

self in future about fragments of United
States Treasury notes which may come
in his way. 1t appears that some time
ago Mr.. Moore by some means came in
possession of "a piece of $50 Treasury
note, No. 1868, of the issue of 1861.
This he forwarded to the Treasury De-
partment at Washington, accompanied
with an affidavit, sworn to before Justice
of the Peace, that about tie 18th of
March 1869, the remainder of the note
was destroyed, and asked the Depart
ment to send him for the fragment which
he enclosed fifty dollars with accrued in
terest. Unfortunately for Mr.. Moore,
however, search in the Department, it
is said, brought to light the Identical
bill from which the fragment had been
cut; the two pieces fitted precisely and
made the note complete. The conse-
quence was that Mr.. Moore has been
held in the sum of 81, 500 for trial on a
charge of attempting to defraud the
United States Treasury, and has also
rendered himself liable to an indictm cnt
for perjury.
