For oar own parte—and we iither like him for It—we do not believe Eeene ever did ahlne In this qaeatlonable aort of olevemeea; at any itte, on Taetday ne relied, and, as the event proved, tobpreaanptaoualy,.on bia oapablllty of beating bia man off-hand at oat or In-flghtlng, aa chances might tun np. Grant has certainly been nnderrated, perhaps to a stUl greater degree than his antagonist has been OTe^ratea, He wa« qaloker and more precise in hla left- handed deliveries, broke groaad jadlolonaly, stopped nodeialely. weU.and, altogether,, ahqwfid.oontiderable. rov^ment In the nee of hla mawleyt. The .wa^ In h ha got horns ttrioo on Keeae'e lipe In the early part of tbe flght, and the readineaa, assiated by vast ftrength, with whtoh he got out of ohancery, and threw Us accomplished opponent, elicited marked approbation. These, with atdrdy oonrage, an nndebaaohed wind, and mnanal pbyalcsl powers, won him the flght, despite the mqaeatlonedandanqiieBtionableBaperlorlty In straight- less and accarate Jadgment of dlatanoe possessed by Us adversary. Eeene, after the above flght, only made one more ap- pearance as a boxer, viz,, on tbe 8rd of September, 1860, then he met Bill Hayes, for £109 a side. The battle listed 1 honr and 2S mlnntes, dorlng which 46 roands veie fought, at the end of whioh Keene was declared the notor, Hayes having fallen withoat a blow. Alec Is BOW comfortably housed aa mine boat of the Three Tons, Hoor Street, Soho, where be as driving a roaring trade. He bears a most excellent character, and is maob re- ipeoted. Jack Grant next flew at high game, and se- lected Tom Sayers, amaoh bigger man than himself, for hla next anlagcnlat, bat here ne met with a tolerably eaey defeat. In tbe early part of 1863 he met BUI Hayes, for£)00 a side, and after fighting till dark, with pretty ({oal advantage, the battle was aojoumed to tbe 29tti 0) March, In the same year, when £60 a side were added to the stakes, and after flghtlag 116 rounde In 3 hoars lad 24 mlnatea, darkneas again came on, and the men agreed to draw stakes, their friends presenting them mth the whole amonnt for which they had contended. Since this .time Jack Grant has been on tbe ehelf, al- thoagh he has ^veral times endeavored onsacoeserally to get a match on. THE CLOTHING OF THE FEET. " A foot more light, a atop mora tna, Ne'er fron the heath-flower dMb'd tba daw." Ax Important appendage to the olothlDg of tbe body Ir that of ue feet.' Their clothing should be strictly regu- lated by the temperatnre of the atnosphere and according to the Borfaoe ot the earth. There Is scarcely a disease of the body of which coldness end dampness of the feot may not be the exciting oanse. Bealdea, bv the Intimate sympathy sabststlng between tbe surface or the body and ue varloos Internal organs, coldness of the feet acts pre- Jadloially on these latter, by the enppresalon of much persplraUcn and tiie determination of the blood to the In- ner parts of the body. Throat and chest affections, eto- maon and bowel disorders, and apoplexies, are Induced bv coldness and molstncsa of the reet. Where there Is a dlfflonltv In keepbg the feet warn, lunb's wool or worst- ed stooUngs should be used, nie shoes onght also to be made large, and as near to the shape of the foot as possible, ana m damp weather a layer of cork shonld be Uioluded In tbe sole of the shoe, which, of coarse, ehoald be thick. . ' ' NATURAL OUBIOBITIES. In Australia there la a beetle which haa the peoalla^ ly formed legs of tbe Kangaroo, and appears to be half kaogarco (on a email scale) and hall Insect. It Is a gioteiqae oreatare, and fh>m Its appearance haa received the name of" Kangaroo-Beetle." In the same ooantry there Ii also a bird {Menwa ait- rtfiQ) which has a tail reaembling the anolent Greek lyre. Tbe margin of the lyre la formed by two broad feathers on eaoh side, which carve Into soroUa at the ttpper end, while a number of delicate ones represent the wires In the middle. These birds are hanted for their talU, which form an object of cariosity and beaaty Inmaeeams. Id the soologlcal Ungdom thsre Is a ooiIoub variety of shall called " Harpa," from the bars with whIoh It Is marked having the rssemblaioe of a harp. Theie Is another shell called the " BoUiu," which refeembles a rose bad, and another which rimmblei a strawbeny. AAR-ICVLTUR4L SOCIETIES. Old Vebvont HnowiKO Orr.-The Connecticut River WUey Agricultural and Industrial Socle^ have lately bed four days of real good times while celebrating the annual meeting of their asacclatlon at Bradford, Vt. The proceedings of the last day. In partlonlar, are very In- teresting, on acconntof the appearance of cor "fair" New Eogland alrls among the competitors for prizes at this Fair. It wfll be seen that the amonnta awarded were not very " heavy llfis," but the mere notion ot the dol- lars and cents Is very rarely of nach account. The farmer and the sportsman are the very last to worship a dollar, but they do leve to poiaeas valoablo stock. A beautiful day smiled npon tbe scene, finer than those cf the three flnt days which bad been so much en-' joyed bv all classes. Tbe course Is exaotly half a mile. The nrst" go " was open for mares and geldings which had never yet trotted for money. Tbe first prize, 920, wee taken by J. J. Bowen'e sorrel marc, from Bethel, Vt; and the second, $5, by T. Treacott's gray mare, firom St. Johnsbnry, Vt. Time. 2:26—2£B. Then came tho 4-year-olda. The first prize, $10, went to R G. Burr's filly, from Burlington, Vt; and tbe second, $6, went to John H. Bandell's gelding, from Newbury, Vt Time, 3:11-3:16. After dinner came tbe trial between trotting neldlngs and marea. The first prize, $60, went to L. Li. Church's gray mare (a 9-yearold,) from West Falrlee, Vt; and the second, JlO, fell to J. E. Uorgan's gelding (a 6-year- old,) from Calais, Vt Time, 2:42—2:43. Next came the stallion race, in wagons, open to all Vermont The first prize, $30, was taken by Towne & Trow's Young Morrill, fromBarre, Vt; and the second, $6, by R. Weld's Vermont Boy, from Hartland, Vt^ Time, 3:00—2:67. The female equestrl&nahlp was then resamed from the previous days, and this time In earnest for the " pre- miums," or as we say," prizes." There were but th^ee competitors for saddle riding, and they were all New Uampshlre girls, as It happened —UIss Nellie Ohasc, from Keene ; Mies Laura Annette Warner, from Hanover; and Ules Mary Jane Warner, also from Hanover.' Miss Gbese attracted much attention. During tbe dif- ferent trials she rode three different horses without any saddle. The last was a very fine blaok trotter belonging to Ur. A, H. Wilcox, of Meriden, Conn., and she pat him over the half mile without a break In 1:30. The Hisses Warner alec exhibited an accompliehed mastery over va' rlons horses. The prizes were awarded aa followa;—To UIss Nellie Chase, of Eeene, N. H^, $10; Lanra F. War- ner, Hanover, 98; Uery J. Warner, do., $7. It was with great difficulty that the speotalcra could be reatralned from hearty shouts of applause, the managers having pro- olalmed from tbe mahi etand that shouting might scare the horses, who have not yet been accustomed to race courses. Then came the driving teama First was UIss Kate Borbank of Danville, Vt,, driving four In hand like a Jehu. This lady is a daaghter of the cashier of the Cale- donia Bank at Danville, and Is well known as an accom- plished horsewoman. Tbe leaders she drove on the pre- sent occaeion were a span of beaotUul Sherman Morgan horses, belonging to George Sherman of St Johnsbury, and which had already taken the first premium as match- ed horses. The wheelers were also powerful and' splen- did Morgans. She " tooled the tits" with great sklU, and put them round and round In good old mall-coach atyle, winning the admiration of every beholder. The prize of $6 was awarded to her, and a number of volnntary pre- sents. After this came a very beautifal sight—nine ladles driving nine spans of fine prancing horsee, and eix ladies driving single horaea Tbe prizes went as follows :—For driving spans—Miss Harla Sawyer, Bradford, $2 : -Miss Mary Banimao, B., $3; Mary Bagley, B,, $3; Olive A. Aldriob, B., $2 ; Elizabeth Appleton, White River Junc- lluu, For drlring a Single team—HISS E, Apiileton, White River Junction, $3; Ulse Famham, of B,, 82; Mrs. Stebbins, of B., $2 ; Mrs. Johnson, of B,, $2; Mies Greenougb, cf B., $2: UIss Grover of B., $2; and Miss Mary Bayley, ofB,, $2. The exercises of the day were wound np with a foot race, in which there were seven competitors, and the first prize of $5 was won by Sylvester Martin, whe ran round the half-ndle course in 2:34. The second and third prizes of $3 and $2 were reepecUvely won by Barnard HU and Hiram Auatln. •'Th^'Topsoy, by Addison Gage of West Cambridge. At the close ot tho regular programme, additional pre/ Dolly, by the same—Elhan Allen breed, miums were voluntarily awarded to the following, by - - — - the Committee on Woodbury Morgans i To C, Pike, Cor- nish, N. H., for the Pike Morgan; J. Peters, Bradford, for a fine stallion; R. Weld, Hartland, for Vermont Boy; M. Sawyer, Newbury, for Morgan Traveller ; to William Walker, Agt, Hartland, for Morgan Tallybo, The stables of 0. Pike, of Oornlsb, N, H., and those of Jesse Johnson and Brother, of Bradford, Vt, also attract- ed much admiration from all preeent, and onr Canadian friends joked heartily In the sports of the occasion. Tlie Good OH Blood Brtikiag Oat! GLOBIOUB OLD BOaiON BIQIIT SIDE UP!! The Boston Agrlealtnral Aaaoolattm In the Fleldll I The people of Boston arc not very easily moved with novelties or gimcraoks: bet, when they do get fairly started npon the Davy Crockett principle, the way they go ahead requires-pretty tall reporting. As this Is the flnt grand exhibition of horses under the actual aueplces of the " Boston Agrlcnltnral Asaoola- tion," some little preliminary explanation seems required before we make oar report of the proceedings. Tbe exhibition of last year was given nndcr the direc- tion of the U. S, Agricultural Society, and at once came Into favor with all classes In New Eogland. The beantv of the grounds, the convenience of the locality, the facili- ties for dlephiy, all cohourred In causing a wish to be os- preased that the city of Boeton should retain the grounds in their then Improved etate for th^urposes of a city parade ground, celebrations, eto. The proposition was a natural result of the popular approval, especially as the U. S. Agricultural Society had so liberally furolehed the property with all the appliances of holiday assemblagea But, both boards of the city government (behig composed of men accustomed te far-aeelng vlewa In relation to real eatate,) objected to the proposition, not so mach on ac- count of any oppoiltlon to the popular wUh as of subetl- tutlng a better plan for the encoungenent of egrIcultn^ al societies. With these views the grounds were leased to Marehall P. Wilder, the gentlemanlv president cf the U.' S. Agri- cultural Society. Mr. Wilder Is confessedly the best nan who ooold be selected for auch a pocltloo before the world. Such la the confidence repoaed la bia good management that abont thirty gentlemen In Boaton, nearly'all profes- elooal men of ue highest reipectahUlty, voluntarily formed the " Boston Agricultnral AssoclaUon," and at once (as Is usual hi such oases) elected Mr. Wilder thebr president A fund was raised to bay oat tbe U. S. Agri- cultural Society, which thus obtained about $6000 more for the fences and fixtures than would have been likely aoder any other arrangement, and thai tiie grounds were obtained. After tbe groands were secored, the original thirty, (a band of gentlemanly brothers, la no way connected with the mock "suppcrMrsof sports,") extended their aaso- clatlon by the admission of seventy more members at the rate of $26 eaoh, and Id this maimer the " Boaton Agri- caltural Asioclatlon" has bten enabled to aocompllah so much good In their exhibition. The oflkMti of the assA- elation are as fbllowa: ' Prttldent^Hon. Marshall P.'unUer. Secr«taty->^E. 8. Wlnilew; Treaaurer—Halea W. Bnter. Execntlre Committee—Thomas Panona, Aaroa D. Weld, Joseph C.

The gentlemen compcalog this aasoolatlon are either owners or lovers of fine horacs and cattle.and they appro- priated abont $8000 fmr premlnme In their firat exhibi- tion.
