NINE. BURGESS, the daring driver Of a
chariot in DE Haven's Hippodrome races,
while at Kalamazoo, the other day, met
with serious and well nigh fatal acci-
dent. While driving in the double
team race, at a whirlwind speed with her
high strung and thoroughly excited span
of grays, size was overturned in her
chariot, falling under the heavily
weighted wheels, and dragged several
feet on the gravel track, tearing her
clothing and fearfully lacerating her
flesh, breaking one arm and seriously
bruising her head. She was picked up
insensible, and carried from the pavilion.
Another female took her place, and the
feast of excitement continued, notwith-
standing the sad affair.

The Austrian Minister of Agriculture
has just issued report on the crop pros
poets in Austria and Hungary. Cold
weather has injured most of the crops.
In South Austria the crops generally
look well. In Hungary the weather has
been favorable, but insects have greatly
injured the crops. The fruit crops
promise to be good.

CUNNING has only private, selfish
aims, and sticks at nothing which may
make them succeed. Discretion has
large and extended views, and, like a
well-formed eye, commands the whole

sightedness, that discovers the minutest
objects which are at hand, but is not
able to discern things at distance.

tercS.ed. This charge General Fields said
was untrue. and being repeated by Trlpleit,
the General struck hlm. After the tumult
had subsidized, the parties appeared before the
Judge and made their statements. The judge,

were, and that liligants must respect these
rights. He therefore imposed fiuc Of $50

to the court to remit the fine. This the
