I. tee miles and a half, with Fashion on
is quarter, and Blue Dick close at his
!fuels. During this time there were seve
rt.l splendid brushes between him and
Fashion, which excited the feelings of all
to the bighest pitch. But it was evident
to e very c.iol observer, that his lady oppo-
nent was. merely testing his speed and her
own powers; fur as soon as Jos Laird
(Fashion's jockey) gave her a louse rein
on the third quarter of the fourth mile, she
shot past him like a rocket, and was nev
er pushed during the rest of the heat.
- Second heat.—From a suspicion that,
in the first heat, Blue Dick had been held
up in order to struggle with Fashion for
the second, much sport was still anticipa.
ted before 'the affair' was over.
All three started, Fashion on the lead,
which she maintained throughout the heat,
notwithstanding the severe brushes and
unceasing struggles of the renowned Blue
Dick. The most he could do was gallant
ly to wait upon his lady.competitor—much
to his own .credit as a horse of gentleman
ly breeding, but not much to the satisfac
tion of his friends, we suppose. The
with is, however, that Fashion is far supe
rior to both her opponents, in all the great
qualities of a racer; and that in both speed
and bottom, she appears to be unapproach
able.
The attendance, as we said before, was
large; and we noticed among the specta
tors some of the most distinguished gen.
tlemen of our and the neighboring States.

Great Flight of Birds.—The Baltimore.
Patriot notices a storm of thunder • and
lightning, which occurred in that city on
Friday night and Saturday morning, and
says that while it continued, and indeed
for seieral hours, a vast number of birds
passed overthe city. Several were caught.
They are described as a very beautiful :
bird, about the size of the robin, having a
greyish plumage, and exceedicgly wild and
restless.
Sale of the Main Line of the Public
Works.—The Inquirer says, "A gentle
man of high character informed us yester

Governor assured him of his determina

diculous dream story is _ from allsw Jer—
sey
paper:—"On the-night' of the massacre
in Warren county, New Jensey, a few
I weeks since, a highly respectable individ
; mil, residing within fifteen or twenty miles
of the dreadful scene, had a dream, in
, which all the particulars of the frightful
tragedy were vividly pictured to his mind.
It made such an impression upon him that
he gave a detailed statement to several
persons the next morning, and some time
before the facts of the real occurrence be
came known to him and his immediate
neighbors. After the intelligence of the
massacre was received, he still repeated
the stoty of his dream, and on being asked
if he could identify the murderers, as he
saw them in his mind's.eye, he said 'yea,'
and pointed to a young man of highly res
pectable connexions, who was visible, not
far oft', while the party were conversing,
said, 'Yonder goes one of them.' "
If this "dream" had been published in
the days ofSalem Witchcraft (says the
Boston Bulletin) this 'young man of highly
respectable connexions' would, most prob.
ably have lost his life. It is doubtful
whether t h e 'highly respectable

1 S. B. almost burnt.—The Buffalo
Advertiser says:—"The steamboat Gen.

day night, while lying at the wharf at Sane
dusky. About one o'clock the fire was
discovered to issue from the upper part of
the engine room, immediately under the
gallows. It was extinguished without do
ing any great damage. The passengers
unite in saying that it was unquestionably
the work of an incendiary. We have re
ceived a long card of the passengers ex.
culpating the officers and crew from all
censure."
More TVonderful Prophecies. —The Mil
-1 ler theory is being confirmed, some think,
daily by phenomena of all kitide,—celes
tie!, terrestrial, and we may add, bestial—
for instance, the Portland 1:1111etin says:—
"We saw a dog trotting by our window
just now, whose tail was curled up so as
to form a perfect figure three. And inas
much as the animal ran on four legs —cor

"It is currently rumored about town this

From the last information we could oh.

City Hall, and reported that he died ;pis
morning at 5 o'clock. He is known tn.

friends will not be surprised therefore to
heat of Lis death."
Outrage.—The Pawtucket Chronicle
says that a woman by the, name of Taylor
residing near Valley Falls, was seized in
that village one day last week and rode on
a rail. She was accused of mis-conduc
in connexion with a .married man. We
hardly credit this story. It is too outageous
for be;ief, yet considering the spirit of the
time and the high state of perfection to
which the science of mobbing has been
carried, we think it not improbable.
The Boston American says, we under
stand that an accident occured on board
the U. S. Steamship Union. Several men
being on the yard, the slings gave way and
they were precipitated to the deck. One
man had h a arm and ancle broken, the
latter very badly, the bones protruding

, Cardinal Mazarin and the Duke of
Grammonl.—The cardinal, who was prime
minister of France in the region of Louis
XII, and during the minority of Louis
XIV, was jumping against the wall in his
study, for amusement and exercise. The
duke, entering suddenly, surprised his em•'
inence in an occupation which solemn
stupidity would consider very undignified
for a cardinal and a prime minister; and
in those days, and at the French court,
when a wink from a prime minister might
cost a man his liberty, if not his life, and
certainly blight all his hopes of political
preferment, a surprise of a prime minister
that wounded hi 4 vanity or pride, might
be dangerous. Under such circumstances,
any courtier 'less skillful thin the duke'
would have been disconcer:ed, would
have stammered excuses, retired, and been
' hated and persecuted ur neglected by his
eminence. But such an ul l soldier in
courts as the duke was not easily caught.'
He at once joined in the amusement with
all his might. saying. "I'll bet a hundred
crowns that I jump higher than your emi
nence." Both p - oceeded to jump higher
with great vigor; but the duke was care•
ful to jump about six inches lower than
the cardinal, admitted that he had last the
wager, sent the hundred crowns to his em• i
inence on the same day, and was appoint—

Pennsylvania Bible Society.—Thei
uiversary of this society was celebrated last
evening:in St. Andrew's Church, Eighth
street above Spruce. The report of the
operations of the society was of the most
interesting character, and exhibited several
facts showing the importance of the great
work of supplying destitute families with!
the Word of God, and the wonderful el . -I
fect produced by its di tribution in places!
and communities where the peop'e were •
starving ror spiritual food, Three years
ago this society resolved to resupply every
destitute family in the State; at which lime
it was computed that there were not less
than ten thousand families without the Bi•
ble, Subsequent events proved that there
could not be leis than twenty thousand;
and still further disclosures made it evi
dent that there were not far short of thirty
thousand. In the year four thousand fam
ilies have baen supplied in the city and
county. Nineteen counties have made full
explorations of destitu:e families; and four
others have nearly completed the work.
During the past year 22,788 bibles and
testaments have been distributed;' and it
is confidently hoped that, in the coming,
year, the supply will be complete. The
amount of funds received has, beeit 10,774
dollars; and the society is indebted to the
American Bible Society nearly $6,000.
Eight auxilliaties have been added; and
the service of another agent has been se
cured,—Pentatt.Smerican.
