The Philadelphia Age, 10 an article on the
approaching Gubernatorial election in Virginia,
says
Virginia has just started on her career OF de-
yelopment, and cannot afford to make a mistake
in the matter of her Chief Magistrate If a
statesman is placed at the head OF her affairs;
man who will recommend and aid in the passage
Of wise, prudent laws, foreign capital and labor
will flow into the State, and give a fresh impetus
to all its material interests. But If political
adventurer is chosen Virginia will be put back
twenty years in her progress. These and other
kindred ideas will mingle in the canvass, and
ought to insure the success of nominees OF the
Democratic and Conservative parties by full,
old.fashioned Virgins majority"

A STRANGE SHOWER. Paul, July 10
4 gentleman from Elk river, in Sherburne
county, tells of shower of reptiles which tell
upon a meadow on the farm of Edward Upham,
near that place. on the morning of the Sd inst,
during a heavy rain and wind storm. The
meadow. he says, was thickly strewn with the
bodies of the strange creatures, none of which
were discovered aiive. They are described as
about six inches long, having giIls and fins like
6>h, but having also four legs each, about two
inches long and terminated in claws. One per-
son who saw them declared that like creatures
exist only in the waters of Mexican lakes from
whence he supposed they might have been
caught up in a waser-spout and been carried
clong by the wind until they, were dropped on

whose supervision the Central Pacific
Railroad was constructed. He owned
q large interest in the road. which he
disposed of about two years since.
He immediately sailed for Europe,
intending to spend ten years abroad /;
but it seems that he has changed his
mind. We find the following con-
corning him in the Sacramento Record
of recent date:
Charles Crocker, who has been en-
ploying a couple of years we'll and
wisely in seeing the world before
years should rob travel of its pleasure
and render observation impossible, is
about to return to serious business
again. The Directors car was dis
patched eastward last Sunday to bring
MIR. Crocksr and his family back to
their old home; and we are informed
that or his arrival he Will sun his

view to developing a more consider

to ascertain the best means of attract

that important and salutary results

King of the Turf,

Thad. Stevens, the California racer,
we think, is justly entitled to the hon.
or of being denominated the King
Of the Turf" AS will be seen by our
Geographic advices he came off vic
toriou. in the great four-mile-and-re-
peat contest at Oakland yesterday. In
the first heat Joe Daniels was success
full in 7:424. The two next were taken
by Thad. Stevens. Time, 7:30 and
7:42k. All competitors -four in num-
ber), save Joe Daniels, were distanced
on the second heat.
The best four-mile time on record
(Lexington's) is 7:194. That was a
single dash of four miles, carrying 103
pounds. Thad. Stevens made the
second heat yesterday, as above
stated, in 7:30, carrying lis pounds.
This, we think, is a greater feat than
that performed by "Old Lex We
have no doubt that Thad. Stevens
is capable of beating L~eXington's
time. if u under the same
condition of affairs. In the race
yesterday he had been trained for
heats instead of a single dash, which
must necessarily have made consid-
cradle difference in his speed. At all
events, we feel like browning "Old
Thad." King of the Turf until some
other wonder shall excel his perform
ance of Yesterday.
