Chief among the sports of these stock
breeding nomads, Of course, is the hsrse-
race, which is varied sometimes by
the substitution of the other animals for
horses. Mr.. Schuyler attended the races on
several occasions, and has thistto sayrespect-
ing them
"A circumcision, a marriage or funeral
feast among the kirghiz is the signal for a
large festival accompanied by games and
horse-races. To these men will sometimes
ride one or two hundred miles for the mere
chance of RECALLING themselves for two or
three days at another's expense and take
their share of gorging on whole-roasted
sheep and horses. If the horses-for racing
are good, the races are the main features
of the feast, and large crowds remain seated
with the utmost attention to lock for the
winner. The races being, often twelve,
fifteen or twenty miles, the horses are usually
istarted at distance. as the race is generally
straight line, and not round circular
course. Sometimes very high prizes are
offered. was invited to a toi, or feast, near
Aulie alta, where it was said would be
some celebrated racers from khokand, and
the highest prize was as much as 500 rubles,
which to Kirghiz is very great sum.
Usually horses are given as prizes. The
KirghIz horses are wiry and enduring, and
when really of good stock will show qualities
in these long races which are truly wonder
ful. | saw one race of this kind some years
ago, near 0renburg, where about hundred
horses were entered, ridden by boys and
girls of various ages all dressed in much the
same way, and all sitting their horses alike,
without either saddle or stirrups. This be-
ing Il race got up for the Grand Duke
Vladimir, who was then there, it was four
times round course marked out on the
Steppe. making in all 20 versts, or over IL
miles, and was won in 25 minutes and 81
seconds. At first the horses ran well togeth-
er, but by the time they had made the course
once they were wildly scattered, and some
passed on the second the horses which had

tB- The Secretary Of the Solebury Farm
ers Club, Mr.. Eastburn Reeder, informs us
that at recent meeting of the Club, num-
Der Of specimens of very fine corn on the cob
were exhibited by Committee appointed for
the purpose, two of the ears being of un-
usual size and quality. Mr.. r. gave them
some prominence in his Club Proceeding" "
to the Intelligencer of that date. A short
time ago he received word from a gentleman
residing in Kentucky, who had doubtless seen
statement respecting these gigantic ears Of
corn in the Country Gentleman, stating that
lie would give one dollar apiece for the two
ears if they measured the size he had
read, and we may say that he almost insnuat-
ed disbelief in the truthfulness of the
statement. Mr.. Reeder accordingly boxed
the ears up and expressed them as requested
A few days since he received two dollars by
mail, and the gentleman's acknowledgment OF
the superiority of these specimens of corn
grown in Bucks County, and further that he
ais going to try it on the soil of old Ken
tucky,' and if successful desires to compete
in this respect with the reputable County OF
Bucks, at some future day.

THE FROG AT THE STATE HoUsE.-Ye
day afternoon goodly number of railroad
officials assembled in the Chancery Court
room to argue one of the questions arising
out of the recent injunction in regard to the
frog at Hopewell Junction. Mr.. A. w.
Browning, Mr. Knight, Mr.. F. II. Saylor,
and number of Hopewell people, on the
part of the Delaware aud Bound Brook Rail-
road /; Mr.. B. GUNNER, Mr.. e. T. Green,
and several others on the part of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company The question was.
whether the Delaware and Bound Brook Rail-
road Company had the right to take posses
sion at the award of the Commissioners APP
pointed to assess the damages, or whether
they could take possession only after the a.
ward had been made by a jury on the final
tender of damages. The whole gist of the
question was rs to the construction of that
clause of the general law referring to the
matter of condemnation of land and the
awarding of damages. Mr.. Gummere COM
menced the argument on the part of the Penn
sylvania Company, yesterday afternoon, after
the Chancellor had heard great number of
common motions. Mr.. Gummere will be
followed by Mr.. Browning. The argument
is not concluded.

The developments of the plot attempted by
Thomas, the dynamite fend, are of the
most shocking character. From the testimony
of his wife and the man who made the ma
chinery it appears that he had been engaged
for years in plotting destruction. His
scheme was to ship boxes ostensibly contain.
ing specie, and to obtain heavy assurances
upon them. But the boxes were really to con.
tain quantity of dynamite--a preparation
of glycerine--connected with clock
works which would cause its explosion at the
end of certain number of days. Several ef-
forts were made by Thomas to carry out this
diabolical scheme, by the success of which the
steamer would be destroyed in mid-ocean and
he would claim his insurance, but in every
case they failed. On the last occasion, as the
fatal box was being taken on the steamer
Mosel. at Bremerhaven, it exploded with such
terrible force as to cause the death of no less
than 1873 persons and the destruction of a large
amount of property.

Mr.. EDITOR :--On last Friday two of our
brave citizens started from our Street to cap
ture " Frog" They were aware, presume,
that Company c had taken the lead, but the
war-feyer ran high our little friend took the
reins and away went the good horse to the
front, hitched to Phl's wagon. They return
ed about meeting time" in the evening,
but when Phil. put up the wagon, he came
near faintng, seeing under the seat sword
half covered with blood. They report that
the road was somewhat Stony, and if it had
not been for brave John, and the fiints on their
muskets being in good order, they would have
been forced to surrender. They must have
had fearful time and on examination, find
that the ink used in sending dispatches was
enormous but Phil. says thanks for the re-
