Three Hundred Miles in Fifteen
s..f.- Hours.

Says the New York Sun: Within 90
days from the I'd of March last, and
within 100 miles of New York City, on
track not yet selected, there is to be
a mustang race against time of 500
miles, to be performed within Is hours.
Relays of mustangs, not more than 80
in number, are to be used, and the whole
distance to be made is to be ridden by
one man. The feat is to be performed
with all the adjuncts of California sad
dies, Mexican spurs, Spanish bits, free
rein. The wagers are $4,000 against
$4,000. .sr. .ss..... s.,rit s-..l r..
The horses, purchased in Visalia,
CAL, arrived at Jersey City on the 18th
ult., and are on their owners farm in
New Jersey, being prepared for the
race. They are the ordinary rough
coated, shaggy-maned California mus
tangs, wild as the north wind. vicious
as any Jezebel, and hardyaas the sum-
mits of the Sierras. Under the condi-.
tions of the wager they are to be grass
fed up to the day of the race, and to be
taken without choice, except, of course,
regard for physical soundness, from
the Visalia stock-yards. These terms
have been complied with to the letter.
Their rider is Mexican, famous in the
far West as a horseman, one of the most
daring riders that ever carried the mails
into Southern California. In addition
to himself are three other horsemen,
who are prepared to mount should any
thing happen to him. There are six
extra horses, in the event of any acct
dent to one, and each of the jockeys has
his own personal accoutrements.
The principals in the wager are
prompted by a firm belief in the merits
of thoroughbreds and California native
stock, respectively, one being resident
New Yorker and the other an old Cali
fornian, one of the pioneers of '49. The
wager had its origin in conversation
between them in which the feats of N.
H. Mowery, the champion relay rider
of the West, were spoken of, and the
New Yorker based his wager on the be-
lief that, although the mustangs might
be able to do all that was said of them.
on the Pacific slope, they could not en-
dure the change of climate, food, and
water, inseparably from a visit here.
Nevertheless they have endured it, hav-
ing made 2s days. journey from vi
salia to Jersey City, over the plains,
making one dead run of 50 hours be-
tween Ogden and Laramie, and resting
in corrals filed with snow, and they
are in such prime condition that their
owner is willing to put them on the
track within "a hours. ~a st
The odds in the wager have been CIV
en- to the Californian in consideration of
the heavy expenses of purchase and
transfer. These have amounted to
more than $4,000 ~
BIRK CITY is on Green River, Ky,
and close under the steep bank by the
main street is a bed of quicksand. AT
that point a loafer assailed a girl, and
she pushed him over the brink, He fell
into the quicksand andzsank at once out
of sight. She was SO mortified by what
she had done that she became very i'll
and nearly died.

ENFORCEMENT OF THE LAW.

A correspondent from West Fe-

sensible suggestion in relation to
the arrest and punishment of the
assassins Of Aronson in that par

negro, for any reason, is killed,
or a carpet. Dagger is hurt in a
private brawl large rewards are
offered for the offender the so.
called Governor and bis Secretary
and henchmen food the wires with
dispatches. and the radical press
groans under the weight of denun-
citation aud falsehood. But in
West Feliciana there are between
thirty and forty assassins at large,
living by pilluge and robbery, and
constantly threatening the peace
Of the community, and yet we do
not hear Of any steps being taken
by the officers of the law TO cap
ture them. The names of nearly
all these murdeyers are known and
the assassins are prowliIg in the
country, stealing cattle and hogs,
and depFedating generally upon
the community. We have not
heard, however, that Kellogg, or
Antoine, in tue absence OF his
chief, has ever offered a reward OF
a dollar for the capture Of them /;
nor do we learn that the radical
civil authorities Of the locality are
exercising shy diligence in the
matter,
We are informed BY the press
dispatches this morning that KEEL
