. COCK-A-DOODLE-DO Phe Science and Amusement of Breeding and Fighting Gamo Chickens. ‘How It Hos Been in England aud Yow It Is in the United States, ‘The Strains Produced About New ~ York This Year. An Interesting Conversation with a Successful Breoder—The Game Birds of New Jersey, Long Island and Other Places— The Mains to Come Off. “Iva flooded with fowl.” “They are thick as bees.”” “Good deal aro in Jersey, good deal on Long Island, and good deal everywhere around here, and you can bet there'll be plum-up fignting this sea- son.” These entertaining remarks in relation to the out- look of the approaching gamoecock fighting season ‘were pleasautly made a day or two since by one of the many genial breeders of these feathered frhters in his hosteirie a few miles removed from New York. And the information was the prelude to much more that will be found of interest to every Cocktighter and bree der In tne land. “Well, tell me all about what the boys have been Going. Have they stuck to old strains or tried ex- periments in the introduction of new ones ft’? “Both, Bat it’s a lung story, and you must give me time to think,’ ' And while the breeder ts putting together the factsin his mind picked up in nightiy conversa- tons with brother breeders during months past Ht will not be AMISS ‘10 LOOK BAOK, nd fora moment note that since the days when the nobility of England fought great covking mains + Jm the presence of crowned heads, judges, marshals and the selected few of the aristocracy, the game. cock has not, perhaps, improved at all in his supe- mor breeding, nor has he fallen from his high estate, He ts still as lofty in his bearing, as regal in his port, as stubborn in his valor, as jealous in his na- ‘ture and as vindictive in his disposttton as in those Gays long gone. Now, as then, ho can be seen per- Becuting the turkey gobbler and letting go at the head of the clamorous gander, or aught else with ‘\Q. feathers on nis walk, and at times he can be ob- served leaving his own territory and wandering like a knight of the chivalric period in quest OF SOMETHING TO FIGHT. Yet from being the champion of houses of high @ucestral name, whose daughters decorated the bags which he honored with the armorial bearings Of their fathers, worked in rare colors and rich silks, he has aescended to more plebelan surroundings ‘and to mercenary transactions, But times change. Ivis greatly so regarding the pastime of cockfighting. In England tho gamecock, though not extinct, 19 mow quite out of fashion. From being the pride of Jarge estates and of country families, and, next to the blooded racehorse, the idol of Britain’s neart, he 1s now chiefly reared there by retired clergymen * nd old ladies, who love and valuo him for his Bymmetry of form, beauty of plumage and flavor as ® table fowl, and think his inveterate pugnacity father an evil than a great desideratum. TDE VALOROUS INSTINCTS of the gamecocg have been the delight of some of the eminent men and cultivated members of society Of ancient and moaern times.

Yet the great num- ber not attacked ana ready fur training for the pit surpasses all other seasons, MAINS TO COME OFF, The air ts full of ramors avout the mains to come of. Already parties in New York have signed arti- cies with Albany men for two or three meetings, and forielt money hag been deposited, Private Maains are also talked of and one or two made, to be fought by birds alluded to im one of the above strains, and birds from the feathered champions of the South.

During the greater part of the week money to the stockbrokers was worth an average of 1-32 41-16, with and with. Out interest added. The extreme rate on one side was reached on Friday, when as high as % per cent was paid for balances to close accounts delayed in ‘their making up to nearly four o'clock, and in the other direction, just twenty hours later, when lenders who had money over at three o’olock, accepted as little as 6 per cent. Prime paper was dull, with sales at 8 & 10 per cent discount, ‘The foreign exonanges were, on the whole, firmer as compared with the previous week and % higher for sterling, although the Bank of England reduced the dis- count rate to 3 per cent. THE GOLD MARKET was weak, with a decline of exactly one per cent—viz., from 110 to 109—a sequence of the unparalleled and rapia improvement of our bonds im Europe, to which influence was added, later, the effect on the London money market of the convalescence of the Prince of Wales. Intermediatery, too, the market was de- pressed by the extravagant rates exacted for car- Tying gold, a condition which utterly checked any disposition to buy Mor a brief speculation on the “pull” side, There was also an absence of spirit on the “bear’’ side, at least to undertake sales at the present stage of the quotation, and hence the “bulls” who have held on have had little relief from botrowers of their gold. ‘The extreme fluctuations daily inthe prica of gold during the week were ag fallows:— Highest.

THE BANK STATEMENT, The weekly statement of the associated banks proved very favorable, and the effort to place them- selves in @ stronger position ts reflected in a de. crease of nearly eleven millions in the item of loans, Part of this total is made up by the absence from the Clearing House sheet of the broken banks, whose loans were between three and four millions, Allowing for this reduction, and for the average decrease occasioned by the calling in of loans by the Broadway Bank, it is fair to presume that the contraction of accommodation on speculative etocks has been pretty nearly five millions, The gain in.specie is once more surprisingly small, and revives the question of the whereabouts of the $21,315,090 of gold disbursed by the Sub-Treasury in redemption of '62 bonds since December 1.

(From the St. Louls Republican, Deo. 15.) Detective W. A. Pinkerton, of Uhicago, and De- tective Connell, of Mempnis, arrived at the Central Police station yesterday with two prisoners, named Hilary Farrington and William Barton, both young men, who are charged with having been concerned in two daring express robberies, The detectives had been engaged for some weeks in searching for the prisoners. Detective Pinkerton related the tole lowing circumstances m connection with the ar- rest:—On the 21st of July, whllé a passenger train was stopping near a water tank at Moscow, K; wi the express car was entered by three thiev 10 stole $1,500 li money and some valuable papers, which wero afterwards destroyed. The culprits were traced to Tiptonville, fenn., where they got into a skaffand rowed down the river. On being ursued they presented their revolvers and drove ack the men Who were following them, aud they made good their escape. On the 22d October an ex- press train stopped at Union City, Tennessee, and during the time the passengers Were at supper the guard of the Southern express was suddenly oon- fronted by two persons tn disgaise, Who placed their pistols to his head, made tim give up his keya, aud plundered the safe of $3,000. While they were doing this one of their confederates took charge of the 1ocomotive and steamed ahead until they got into the woous, when they lot the train, Vigorous efforts were instituied by the Soutnern Express Company to bring the perpetrators of the rovbery to justice, but thoy only resulted in the thieves being traced about a mile west of Union City. Some ight days after the robbery Mr. Allen Pinkerton, of ‘he detective agency, Chicago, was requested to sond competent men to hunt upthe parties, Mr. W. A. Pinkerton, was detaiied, and he arrived at Union City ten days after the robbery. He was then Jomed by Detective Connell, of Memphis, They set to work, and after some inquiries their attention Was directed toa 4 Pie Store at point known as Lester's place, on tne Mississippi River, nineteon mites below Hickman, Ky., and near the Tennessee State line. They rode from Hickman to tho place and found tt to be situated in @ dense canebrake, almost im- penetrabie and well suited for the retreat of despe- radoes. Arriving at the house at nignt they fast- ened their horsesto a tree and procecded to the habitation, On opening the door pats saw six men, @ woman and @ child in one room, with no light but that which arose from a smouldering fire on tne ‘The detectives were rudely accosted and told to state their business. They represented that they were travellers who had lost the way. ‘hey were not believed, and one of the men, all to be Barton, started to leave the room. Another, named Russell, also leit, and threateningly told the de- tectives not to follow him. Pinkerton followed and Russell dred at him, The bullet passed through the detective’s Coat and overcoat and grazed his teft side. Pinkerton fired in return at Russell, who had hold of a sapling. The ball seemed to take etfect, for the maa feil, but, regaining his feet, he frea again. Conuell then came up and commenced to fire, Russell directed @ well-aimed shot at him, and it struck a large metal buiton on his coat and glanced off. Some of the others then joined in the afiray and Pinkerton was hit on the head with a revoiver, rendering him tncanabie of rurther action, The two men—Barton and Russell ~escaped and it was not found possible to prove anything against the otner four. The detectives kept up thelr search for the robbers through thejswamps and canebrakes and amid many discouragements, It was at length ascertained that @ man who had some connection with the store before referred to was living nine miles above Cape Girardeau. Detective Connell went in pursuit of him and brought him to within a mule of the Iron Mountain Railroad. The prisoner by some means loosened the chain which het bim, sprang from the wagon into the bush and escaped, he detectives’ ardor was somewhat dampened at this disappointment, but in @ short time they were again tracking the parties with unabated zeal. In- formation was obtained that Russell, shortly after the robvery, sent $800 to a Mrs. K. F, Farrinzton, Gillam station, Tenn., on tue Nashville and North- western road. It was also learned that Barton had been a railroad employé and understood the management of a locomotive. Detective Pinker- ton then went to Gillam station sad yw an interview with Mrs. Farrington. ‘as then getting ready to move to Texas, The ofMcer carefully Ve at his imquiries, and learned that Mrs. Farrington lad two sons, who, he thought, an- swered to the description of Russelt and the man who escaped from Connell. After this time she was 1ollowed by spies in the employ of the detectives, A week ago William Barlow and Hilary Farrington, the two men now in custody, made thelr appearance Ve Mo., near the Indian Terri They seven miles from the town at the house The detectives watched the men closely until last Tuesday, when matvers were brought to an issue, The louse Raed by the fugitives was surrounded by citizens and officers, who called upon them to surrender, They refused, and then the house was set on fre. After enduring the heat of the fames some time they surrendered. it wag found that they had five revolvers, a shotguu and otter weapons. They were heavily ironed on being captured, and were be ot here. Last might their captors took them to Union City for trial, ‘Ihe cap- tura 1s clatmed to be an important one.
