NEW YORK NOTES.
An Unsatisfactory Flight Of Carrier Pigeons

NEW YORK, June 6.-Forty carrier pigeons
were winged at Cresson, Penn, this morning
at o'clock. Their flight will be about $50
miles. At 80 p. m. seventeen only had been
reported at the aquarium. The nature OF the
dispatches received were very unsatisfactory,
but enough could be gathered from them to
know that Of the number there had arrived
In Williamsburg two at i :18, one at LII, one

and one at :24-eight birds in all. Mr.. Wall

FAILURE OF MOMENT TO THE PREsBYTERI-
ANS.
It was announced yesterday by cable that
the failure Of David Stuart u Co, Of Liver
pool, had seriously affected the Presbyterian
Agency in America, for whom they were
agents, and to whom they we're largely In
debted. Laday, treasurer Of the Presbyte-
rlan Board OF Missions in this city, said the
board was as much surprised at the failure as
many houses in Liverpool. 1twas impossible
at present to state how much the firm was
indebted to the American Presbyterians, as
the business was conducted by means OF cir
cular notes, the extent OF which was not yet
known. It would be necessary to obtain from
the house q list OF the notes that had been
indorsed before the failure before anything
could be arrived at, and it would take from
ten days to two weeks before this Information
could reach New York.

GRAND JUNCTION.
An Ohicer Resisted by Negro, and the
Negro IOiIIed.--A Desperate COlOred
man goes to his final sleeP.-The
Oficer under Arrest.

The usual social quiet and business activ-
ity of this thriving place were disturbed last
Saturday by a sad occurrence. Town Mar
shall West, in the discharge of duty, shot
colored man, who forcibly resisted arrest
for unlawful conduct.
The particulars given us by DIR. Biggs,
who examined the body, are az follows:
Thompson, the colored man who was
shot, was drunk, was boistcrous, was acting
badly, when town marshall, West, went
aud asked him to be still. To this he paid
no attention, being accustomed to having
his own way, he expected to have it on this
occasion. Finding that reason and quiet
request were utterly ignored, West arrested
him and was proceeding to the Mayors office,
when near Gatlin and Yopp's Saloon, the
negro refused to go further. The resistance
was met by a blow from West, when the
prisoner exclaimed: "Well, if that's your
game, Pm in" or something to that effect,
and struck the officer to his knees, who then
drew his pistol and fired, the first shot pass
ing above the Negroes head; the next passing
through the shoulder and killing him in
stantly. The colored people became madly
indignant, insensiby insane, and formed
themselves into squads to make an imme-
diate disposal of the officer, but the cool
frmness of the citizens prevented further
trouble. At the present writing, the officer
is under arrest
The people, while they deplore circum-
stance of this nature, in their midst, seem
relieved by the knowledge that one saucy
imprudent, thieving negro has passed under
the sod. This is the colored stronghold Of
the county, and there are many colored cit
