FIGHT.-An animated discussion as to
the merits of a bronco and a plug, took
place on Wednesday last between two
horse fanciers. In the heat of debate,
one claimed that the plug was worth $50
in gold coin of the United States, while
the other thought that the estimate was
too high by at least SO. This remark
brought forth the expression that any one
who thought SO was a progenitor of the
canine race-"that's how the fight COM
menced." Marshal Hagar being present
the fight didn't last long, IS the combat
ants were marched to the Office of JUS

amount being paid the party was dis
charged.
