A Marvellous Performance,
Trotting Two Hundred Miles In Forty
Ave Hours for small take,

The driving park at st. Paul, Mimi,
was tho scene OF m extraordinary trot
Mr.. Martin Delaney matching his
sorrel mare, small fuU.blooded Nor
gan, to trot two hundred miles in forty
eight hours for the small stake OF $500.
The st. Paul PreSs says;
The trot was commenced yesterday
OF twenty minutes past "A. NJ, Mr.. j.
Cummings holding the ribbons. The
mare started out at tho rate OF more
than ten miles an hour for the first two
hours, aud was gradually slowed to
about an average OF ten miles m hour.
At five minutes past ten she had COM
pleted the first fifty miles, making i in
some Ave hours and forty.fve minutes.
She was then given rest OF three hours
and half, and was started at little
past half past one OH the second fifty
miles. At hall past seven she Ind com.
pleted it, having made the first hundred
miles in fifteen hours, which leaves
thirty.three hours for the completion OF
the other hundred. She made the last
mile Of her first hundred yesterday the
fastest OF any-fye and one half min
utes. Those who witnessed the feat
shy that the mare showed no sign Of
fatigue, never sweat hair, and trotted
off to the stable to feed at the end OF
her days labor rs briskly as though she
had Just come from the barn.
On Thursday morning when taken out
of the bnrn Mt five o'clock To complete
the trot she seemed q little sore at first,
but soon warmed up and commenced
her days work with wonderful ease.
At ten o'clock she had completed thirty
one miles, and was withdrawn until four
minutes past twelve Pm, After this
rest, in which she manifested no signs
OF wearincss, she made her. next seven
miles in one hour and two minutes. No
pains were taken to keep q regular &C.
count Of her rate Of speed, but in gen.
eral terms it averaged through the day
about sir minutes and FIVE and one.halt
seconds per mile for the first fifty miles,
and seven minutes and two and one.hRlt
seconds for the second fifty miles. After
the rest given themare-from seyenuntil
nine o'clock in the evening-all parties
on the ground saw that she would make
her 200 miles easily. She pursued heI
even gait, and n few minutes past one
o'clock in tho morning completed the
race, making her last mile in nine min
utes thirty.one seconds. Thus she won
the wager, and in three hours less than
the time given her. She trotted OF the
track seemingly unconscious OF the
marvel she had performed.

Expanding the Chest.

Take q strong rope, and fasten it to n
beam overhead TO the lower end OF the
rope attach stick three feet long, con-
venient to grasp with the hands. The
rope should be fastened to tho centre Of
the stick, which should hang six or
eight inches above the head. Let per-
son grasp this stick with the hands two
or three feet apart, and swing yerymod-
crately Mt frst-perhaps only bear the
weight, il very wenk-and gradually in
crease, rs the muscles gain strength
from the exercise, until it may DO used
from three to five times daily. The con-
nection of the arms with the body, with
the exception Of the clavicle with tho
breastbonc, being n muscular attach
mont to the ribs, the effect Of this exer-
else is to elevate the ribs and enlarge
the chest and rs Nature allows no
vacuum, the lungs expand to I'll the
cavity, increasing the volume Of air, the
natural purifier OF blood, and prevent
ing the congestion or the deposit OF tn.
berculOus matter. We have prescribed
the above for NIL cases of hemorrhage of
the lungs and threatened consumption
for tllirty.five years, and,ha been able
to increase the measure Of the chest
from two to four inches within q few
months, and with good results. But
especially MS preventive We would rec.
ommend this exercise. Let those who
love to live cultivate well-iormed, ca.
pacious chest. The student, the msr.
chant, the sedentary, the young Of both
sexes-ny, all-shonld have n swing on
which To stretch themselves daily. We
are certain that il this were to be prnc.
ticed by the rising generationin dress
allowing free and full development Of
the body, many would DO saved from
consumption. Independently Of its
beneficial results, the exercise is an ex-
ceedingly pleasant one, and as the mp.
paratus costs very little, there need be
no difficulty about any one enjoying it
who wishes to.-Dio LcWis.

killing lIls Playmate for Marble.

On Tuesday of Inst week, says a
Lynchburg, Va, paper, ncgro.girl,
aged years, was missed from her home,
and night coming on, herparents became
uneasy about her, and a search OF the
woods and fields was begun, until soon
after daylight on Friday morning, her
dead body was found in field some
distance from her fathers house. An
examination Of the body was made, and
it soon became evident she had been
murdered, her head being beaten almost
to n jelly. Near by tho body lay n small
stick, some seven feet in length, cover.
cd with blood and hair, showing that
this was tho weapon used by tho MUIR
derer, A Coroner's jury assembled at
3 o'clock on Friday afternoon, and after
viewing the body the testimony was
commenced. 1t soon became manifest
that the murder was committed by q
negro boy named Jesse Penn, who is
only about seven years OF age. The
boy was sent for and confessed the muir
der, giving as n motive for the deed tho
fact that the girl was tho owner Of n
white marble which she would not give
to him, and he killed her to get posses
sion oft. The youthful murderer show
cd no signs Of remorse for the bloody
deed ho had perpetrated, and gave no
indications Of fear OF punishment fer II.
The Jury returned a verdict in accor-
dance with tho facts above detailed, but
in consideration OF the boys extreme
youth, and also Of his imbecility, he
was ordered to be discharged.

The Dry Goods Business.

The Now York bulletin, in its review
OF tho dry goods market, says tho
movement in all descriptions is quiet ;
also that the commission houses dealing
in domestic cottons are unusually dull,
and there is manifest determination
on the part Of jobbcrs to purchase only
from hand TO mouth. Tho agents for
wooden manufacturers look upon the
season for light weight goods as being
over, and their energiea are now bent
upon the distribution of fall styles Of
cassimeres and coatings TO the clothing
trade, and their efforts in this direction
are meeting with n fair measure Of sue.

says:
There has been noticeable improve.
ment in the city retail trade within the
last few days, and If the present fine
weather should continue mn improved
inquiry for certain fabrics which have
been sluggish hitherto is almost certain.

Riot in shamOkin, Pa.
ResIstIngA New Workers. Claim to Lands
Worth s9O,OOO,OOO.

A letter was received by Mr.. Stewart
Newell from Mr.. o. II. Wheeler, now
in ShamOkin, Pa, saying that three
houses had been burned in that place
by mob, and that IN army of men
were holding the roads to that place.
Serious trouble is apprehended. Mr.,
Newcll's story OF the origin of the out
break is as follows: Robert Morris, Of
Revolutionary memory purchased twen-
ty.hye tracts OF land, containing 10000
acres, Of what has proved the richest
anthracite coal region in the country,
The land is now valued at over &c.
900, 900. Robert Morris sold this land
to John Nicholson of Philadelphia.
Nicholson died intestate, and his heirs
appointed William 2. Farrand, their
attorney in fact, to sell and convey
these lands. Farrand sold to Henry X.
Strong, the State Librarian and n men,
Der Of the Pennsylvania Legislature.
Strong sold TO n female friend Of Mr..
Newell.
Mr.. Newell now holds the titles MS
trustee for the heirs OF that relative.
He conveyed half interest in the land

ing possession of the land which is
held by the Reading Railroad Company
and purchasers from them. This rail.
road claims to have bought NIL the land
in question under another title held by
George Grant of Pottsville, and obtain
ed under n judgment which Mr.. Newell
claims was obtained by fraud, and
which has been so decided by the
Supreme Court OF Pennsylvania. Mr..
Wheeler wont on about SIX weeks ago
to take possession, and began to put up
houses on the vacant lnnd, five OF the
tracts being vacant, while the other
twenty have on them probably forty
'eollieriGs
This proceeding was OF course OPP
posed by the persons then npossession,
and Mr.. Wheeler sold portions Of his
interest to Mr.. Jordon, the ex-Secretary
of State OF Pennsylvania under Gov.
Geary, to Judge Maynard, and to
others, in order to obtain means to
PROSECUTE NIB Clhllns Auuy II lo WIVtt
to Mr.. Newell that two houses had been
erected, but were willfully destroyed
by fire while the tenants were moving
in. Other houses had been erected and
the tenants were in possession. The
surveys and lenses were made, and suits
for the recovery OF tho other twenty
tracts were already begun. May II he
