THE TURF IN BOSTON.: SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE HERALD, Preparations for the Tretting Season Ai Bostou—The Several Tracks, Situated—The Purses Offered and Some of the Trotters Entered—Opening Trot, dc. Boston, April 20, 1867. Trotting men and turfites hereabouts are getting their nagg into fine trotting trim, and making every prepara- tion to enter in, enjoy and profit by, if possible, the sporting season of 1867, which is now opening, and bids fair to be one of the best that Boston has ever seen. We have three trotting tracks around Boston, upon all of which, some time during their existence, some of the best horses in the country have trotted, and added glory to their names. They are the Riverside, the Mystic and the Franklin trotting parks. The Riverside is located at Cambridge, about three miles from Boston, not far Giatant from the Charles river, which boatmen here designate as the ‘sluggish Charles,” and know as the ecene of many popular regattas. "It is a balf mile track, and is furnished with all that goes to make up a first class trotung course, The Mystic is at Medford, and is reached by horse cars or steam on the Lowoll road; it is distant about four miles from Boston, and is by a fine drive, over which, on fair trottin; there are many brilliant scrub races between fancy teams.

Equally sig- Bifcant, if mot more so, ig the determination of the National Guard not to ‘stir an inch from home—at least asfar as those of this city are concerned. The contin- gent called upon in the city of Rio Janciro amounts to one thousand men, but they are far from responding to the call, Many of them are business men; others are clerke, who -do not object to exbibit their gay uni- forms in occasional turn outs, but when it comes to ac- tual fighting, especially at a distance, they bave no stomach for the work. Besides, I really believe they have the law and the constitution on their side, It is as if President Johnson were to call out the New York militia—National Guard I believe they are called now— to go and fight in Mexico. Imagine the row that would be kicked up if compulsion were resorted to in such a case.

Rro Janzmo, March 13, 1867. The annual festival, which seems to be a preparation for the supposed austerities of the forty days of Lent, bas once more passed over, but with less jubilation than usual, owing to the inclemency of tho weather. By the way, the Anglo-Saxon word ‘Lent’ is scarcely suitable to this hemisphere, seeing that it means the fast of spring in the countries where the name originated, whereas here we have scarcely entered upon autumn, ‘The three days’ festivities were ushered in on the morn- ing of Sunday, the 3d instant, by the beating of drums, im @ most lugubrious manner, and processions around the city, several hours before daylight. After this things ‘were quiet till afternoon, when several dreas processions wore organized, but they were of no particular attraction, save one apparently got up by a number of sailors of the Brazilian navy, all very tidily dressed, having with them a miniature house and a fully rigged abip of war on & correspondingly small scale. They were accom- panied by a respectable band, which played the chorus incidemt to the spectacular piece entitled Orpheus in Holl, and which is a favorite at the Alcazar theatre in this city. The day was intensely hot, and there was no general tarnout, as it is customary to reserve the great. est attraction to the last day. The second day never presents any point of attraction, and this passed off as quietly as‘usual, [he Rua d’Ou. vidor, however, was handsomely decorated, as it always is on such occasions, with banners stretched across the narrow street ata sufficient height to prevent the imped- ing of vehicles, and most of the house fronts were hung with rich tapestry. The stores exhibited in their front windows an immense number of masks of every sort of material employed for such @ purpose, and dominoes and other fancy habits suitable or supposed to be favor- able for masquerading. All, in fact, wag in readiness for the graud fale of the following day, known m England as Shrove Tuesday, sacred to ws and in France as Mardi Gras, once sacred in few Orleans to every blackguard who could procure a handful of flour to scatter over Laps Pepe dressed per- gon who hepoenet, to be handy. caraival I was made to ler my share of the general tribulation by having a quantity of orange flower water squirted into my starboard eye on passing up the Rua d‘Ouvi- dor, and this year 1 contemplated retaliation in th shape of a syringe of extra size and a liquid not quite so mild as orange flower water, whon the Chief of Police issued an order forbidding any of these equivocal Pleasantries. He also prohibited the passing of any vehicle along the Rua d’Ouvidor after three o'clock in the afternoon of Shrove Tuesday save such as conveyed persons in masquerade. He further ordered that no car- whatever should pass along the thoroughfare atter six o'clock. These regulations were necessary to pre- veut the overcrowding of the street and possible acci- dents in consequence. They were rendered unnecessary, however, as the event will show.

About, years ago there came to this county, and settled about five miles from this town, 8 man i South Carolin: and three children. One of hia neighbors, named Bel- cher, was the father of two buxom daughters, between the younger of whom, aged fifteen, and Hudson there apenne up ea intimacy which ted in the seduction: the girl Nine years ago this month Hudsom committed suicide, and was found in the garret of his house hanging by the neck/ his knees touching the floor. He pest mere poco » Had deed some four or be days before his body was vered, as oy pry commenced to decay and one side of the face aod ear ‘were much eaten away by the rats. A coroner’s inquest ‘was held ovor tho body and a verdict of suicide returned. One of the jurors, however, noticed gomethi: like piece of iron in the ear of the deceased, but did not ex- ‘amine it very minutely, nor did he mention the fact for some time after. The youn Belcher girl married a man named McNabb, with whom she has since lived very happily, Rotwithstanding she became a mother in afew months she married. The family prospered; the elder likewise married and was much’ respected, mone of the neighbors having aught to say against exther of the girls. Bot there was 4 skeleton in housebolds; and the sisters, as they plodded along the journey of life, were continually harassed by fears and doubts, each striving in van t lay the visions ‘which haunted their minds. ‘A few weeks aince, during a fit of despondency, the younger sister divulged to a neighbor the terrible secret ‘which had so long weighed upon her conscience and made her lifea torment. It was tbat herself, with ber steter and husband, bad murdered Hudson! Her story was that in company with McNabb, whom she after- wards married, and her elder sister, she called upon Hudson, and, telling him of her situation, upbraided bim with ber ‘al. Hudson attempted to laugh Coys affair, and for the first time informed her of his beng a married man. This incensed both the sisters and McNab, all of whom commenced an assault upon Hudson, as bad been previously agreed upon in case he refused to render justice to the girl he bad so foully wronged. was easily overpowered and kilied by driving into his ear a portion of the iroa spindle belonging to » spinning wheel. After the murder was accomplished the body was taken to the loft of the cabia, and left hanging by the neck, as it was found seve: We Ee 0 woman to whom this fearful secret was imparted divulged the facts before the Grand Jury at the present term of the Circuit Court, who at once found a bill against McNabb, his wife and sister-in-law; and yester- or ee ora were arrested, brougat to this own and I in jail.
