LULU's GREAT PERFORM ANCE.-The
Rochester, N. Y, Express gives the
following particulars of the perform
ance of the famous mare Lulu, in hei
recent trst at that place against the
best recorded time for mile, 2:14.
"Though Lulu failed to beat Gold
emith Maids best time-214-she sue
ceeded in trotting three heats which
aggregate the fastest on record, and
beats even her magnificent perform
ance here last August. She was ac-
companied by piebald running horse
attached to a sulky, which was driven
Just far enough behind her to excite
her to her best efforts. On the first
heat she did not seem to get down to
her best work until she reached the
backstretch, where the runner had
closed pretty well up. After that she
trotted splenidly. On the homestretch
the pace was very fast, but she only
succeeded in getting in 2:16f. On the
second heat Green made more des.
perate attempt to win the coveted
Sc 900 and the glory of beating 2.14,
and Lulu's trotting for the first three
quarters of mile was such as to IN
spire the belief that she would accom-
pIish the wonderful feat. 1t is gener-
ally believed that she would have done
so but for the high wind which was
blowing from the southeast, and which
blow square in her face quite hard
when she was rounding the upper
turn. CharleyGreen put her to her best
but it was useless; he was just one
second too late, going under the wire
in 2.144. This practically ended the
struggle, though on her third attempt
she made the splendid time of PIG.
1t is the almost universal belief among
horseman that Lulu will yet succeed
in trotting below PA, and her per
formance yesterday fully justifes it,

A posTMAsTER's CURIOSITY.

ST.. PAUL, Mimi, Nov. Ole Ham
mer, Postmaster at Albert Lee, has been
held for trial on a charge OF embezzling
and destroying mail matter. Evidence
given shows that he was seen to open and
tear letters, fragments of which were
found in the Office waste basket, and pro-
duced in Court. The letters he was
caught with were decoys. His purpose
does not appear to have been plsnder,
but to crafty curiosity concerning cor
respondence between political opponents.

Mrs. Robson died on the morning
of the 9th inst, and her remains will
be inferred at Nottingham Cemetery
to-day (rue>dny). Those who knew
her in the various relations of life are
unanimous in their expressions of es-
TEEN and regard, and good record il
always inscribed in the hearts of a
Christian people.
REV. J. II. MILFORD preached in the
L. z. Church ON Sabbath evening, and
was favored with large and attentive
audience-Suhiect of discourse, PrCfan
ity. Said that if the Leviticallan was
strictly enforced there would be great
decrease in the population, and at the
present day there would have to be g
revision OF the Census of the United
States. As a sample of some original
ideas advanced by him, we might
designate as an illustration one in
which he spoke of profanity as THE
smut of Prayer" comparing it to the
smut among the wheat.

Mr.. DANIEL BREWER, his sister and

is accorded by the citizens Of this COM

Abel, jr. Mr.. A. had heen suffering

awaited him, although he never ex-
pressed a doubt or fear concerning
the result. A few days prior he
had washed his neck, put on point
paper collar, and transacted some i'm
portant business at the Probate Judges
office, and that transaction materially
affected his future life. Rev. w. S.

received his last words, which were
spoken in an audible manner, and he
passed away as peacefully as "a baby

The property was insured. Some of the handy

LEET, in his comments on the Republican
meeting in Bellaire, speaking of the ladies,
says: ''There were nearly as many ladies at
the meeting as there were gentlemen. They
seemed TO come on the Square like the ami
mate creation of God entered the ark of Noah,
the male and his female" Now, Professor,
please tell us, where was your fee-male? We
failed to see her. Did they, like Lincolns
darkey boy, run out of mud before they got to
your Verify, it seemed so to one who was at
the meeting.
