A SALMON FIGHT.

People who have of late gazed at the lordly salmon
reposing peacefully in their last home but one—the
fishmonger's window—may not have supposed that this
fish was much of a fighter, or that if he wanted to'
be had any great facilities for engaeing in battle (giays
the Standard). But in good truth the creature is pug-
nacious, and can tight after a fashion which he would
seem to have learned from his naturatenemy, the otter.
Mr. Frank Buckland has seen a couple of them sparring
manfully, and as his account has been discredited, he
is reinforced by another witness of a combat, who writes
to Land and Water of to-day. This gentleman avers
that on one occasion, while watching a large number
of salmon spawning, he became aware of a great dis-
turbance below the pool, and on going to the spot saw
that it W 44,4 made by two fine male salmon in mortal
combat, each sitting on his tail and their bodies up-
right; and their heads sometimes out of the water,
and their mouths wide open, and warding off each
other's attack most scientifically, and to use Mr.
Buckland's expression fighting as salmon only can
fight. After sonie heavy onsets one got hold of the
other by the back of the neck, and pinned him to
the bottom of the river for about a minute or two.
Then the defeated fish got away and rushed up
stream at lightning speed, followed by the victor.
A few yards higher up there was a thick iron chain
fastened acroes the river, and about three feet
above the surface of the water, but instead
of going under the chain the runaway fish jumped clean
over it, followed by the other, who caught him in mid-
air by the neck, when they fell together in the river,
the one in the jaws of the other, who held him by the
neck for a short time with his teeth. We are not told
what the fight was about, but no doubt the causa
teterrima belli was not absent, and there was "a lady
in the case," One is not much accustomed to the idea
of "hot blood" among fishes, but these incidents in
the life of the salmon suggeet a new attraction for our
aquariums. Tee skilled keepers of those iestitutions
doubtless know how to make the angry pa,sion of a sal-
mon rise, and a little training might really make a
salmon-fight a beautiful exhibition of scientific pugna-
city under difficulties. Nature seems already to have
aught the first elements of the science; namely, that
you should stand up to your man and not run at him
with your head down.

A SENSATIONAL RAILWAY
ADVENTURE.

Big stories come from big lands—take the land of
Niagara for an example. The land of the Himalayas,
too, has its sensational narratives on a grand scale;
and these, with the spread of the Anglo-Indian Pres.,
are obtaining wider notoriety every day. The sea serpent
of American waters has a rival in the gigantic octopus
of the Indian Ocean, which the other day dragged down
under water a schooner in full sail, the captain of
which presumed to fire at the floating monster. But
the latest anecdote from India, though sensational
enough, is thoroughly credible. It resembles closely
an incident which is well known to have occurred
several years ago, when the railway from Madras
to Shoranore, on the Malabar coast, was first
opened out for regular traffic. This time, however,
the scene is laid on a railway in India. As a train was
proceeding at a fair speed, the engine-driver noticed a
herd of elephants advancing towards him along the Ike.
He immediately sounded ttie whistle, and his assistant
put on the brake. In an instant, however, they were
into the herd. The leading elephant, a huge tusker, was
apparently only enraged by the whistle, and charged the
advancing train. There was a tremendous concussion,
the elephar t was knocked off to one side, mutilated and
writhing, and the train after a series of violent jolts
which nearly threw it (!iff the line came to a standstill
against the bodies of two other an4yAltsipsalq,sl3
passengers were much frightened, and the engine was
considerably battered about in front. The tusker was
despatched by an English gentleman who was travel-
ling in the train, and his tusks secured, after which the
train proceeded on its journey. The remainder of the
herd scampered away, and turned when about a mile
off on a knoll, looking in a dazed, stupid kind of way
at the train as it moved off. —Globe.

THE HARVEST IN ESSEX.

Mr. Mechi writes from Tiptrea hall, Kelvedon, Essex, to

The Times :

" Our harvest here is three•fourths completed.
Wheat is of first-rate quality and condition, the weight
per bushel being 6 per cent, above the average, but
the yield falls short of the estimate by nearly eight
bushels per acre, there being so many empty shells in
*the head, the germs having been e. intro, ed by late
frosts Rivett (bearded) wheat which came into ear a
fortnight later titan the other sorts, did not suffer, and
has consequently a well filled perfect ear. Barley is
very perfcct in the nurnbtx of kernels, but, owing to
the great drought, the kernels are lees plump than
usual. There is a deficiency of wheat•straw as com-
pared with last year. I hear of various threshings in
this county, which give evidence of a deficient or under-
average yield of wheat, and we know that the breadth
sown is very much lees than usual, owing to the wet
winter. The excessive heat and drought which have
so hastened and facititated harvest somewhat
diminished the bulk of straw and grain, especially on
light warm soils in this county, and have been un-
-
tavourable for green and root crops and second growths
of pasture."

THE CO

On the authority of the Weser Gautte, the Farmer
! to-day warns us that the famous and much•dreaded
Joldrado potato beetle has made its way to Europe
(says the Evening Standard). A living specimen of the
dorypliora decemlineata has been found in a bag of
maize in the docks at Bremen. The maize was part
of a cargo just arrived from New York, and it seems
probable that the horrid creature had made the whole
of the journey from the west of America among this
maize, and without having the taste of a potato leaf
during that time. There appears to be no mistake
about the matter, for the secretary of the Bavarian
Agricultanal Association has made an investigation
into the circumstance., and is able to confirm the
report. Of course we cannot be sure that this par.
.ticular beetle had any companions, and for, this time
the danger may be past. But what has happened
once to one may happen again to many, and the next
time the importation may escape notice until too late.
Hitherto we have •trusted for our protection to the
practical impossibility of the creature making so long
a voyage alive in any of its stages; but now we see that
not only is the journey possible, but it can be made
under most adverse circumstances. Once among
us there is every reason to believe it would
thrive without much difficulty, and we may re-
member that though it prefers potatoes it has
no objectien to tomatoes, cabbages, henbane, bella-
donna, polygonium, or chenopodium. And as its
t.pstes develop there is no reason why they should not
embrace a yet wider range of vegetable food. Of
.course we cordially endorse the sentiment that the
lautliorities should do all they possibly can to prevent
the importation of so undesirable an addition to our
Insect pests; but we must own ourselvea unable to see
that there is much to be done. We cannot search
every bag of grain and scour every potato that comes
from America, and it 14 quite certain that, without
American grain, we should be in a very bad way. So,
' whi!e keeping our powder as dry as we can, we shall
have to trust a good deal to Providence.

PUTTING VARIOUS PLEAS ON THE RECORD A fat
old gentleman was bitten in the calf of the leg by a
dog. He at once rushed to the office ef the justice of
the peace, and referred a complsiat against a man in
the neigh baurhood whom he supposed to be the owner
of the offending cur. The following was the defence
offered on the trial : "1. By testimony in favour of
the geneyal good cuaractor of my dog, I shall prove
that nothing could make him so forgetful of his canine
dignity as to bite a calf. 2. He is blind, and cannot
see to bite. 3 Even if he could see to bite, it would,
be utterly impossible for -him to go out Of his way to
do do, on account of his severe lameness. 4.Grantind
his eyes and legs to be good he has no teeth. 5. My
dog died six weeks ago. 6. I never had any dogs".

PRESINTATION TO TEIN Ray. JOIIN BOSCIIIIIL-1 few
days ago a presentation—the purport of which is em-
braced in the following address—was made to the Rev.
John Buncher, curate of this place, as tending to show
the repect and esteem in which the rev, gentleman is
held :—" Rev, and dear Sir—ln consequence of the
whole of the parochial duties having devolved upon you
during the recent long absence of the vicar abroad, and
upon other frequent occasions when he has bun away,
it has been deemed advisable that you should take
holiday to recruit your health ; and a sum of money
has been contributed by a portion of the congregation
to enable you to do so. We have therefore, on their
behalf, the extrem‘ gratification of begging your
acceptance of the sum of £23 23. which has been sub-
scribed for that purpose. Hoping you will thoroughly
enjoy your holiday, and safely return refreshed and
strengthened for your arduous duties amongst us. We
are, rev, and dear Sir, yours faithfully (here follow
signatures). To the Rey. John Buncher."

THE HARVEST.

" The red ripe cora that stands is shoevss

has served to point a moral in many an age,
and to adorn a tale of human labour and per-
severance in many a century. On the very
!hush°ld of the Book of Genesis we are told
of the importance attached to the tillage of the
ground ; and after the flood had subsided and
the ark rested upon the mountains of Ararat, a
Divine promise was itiven to man that while
bhe earth remained seed time and harvest should
not cease. In all ages the season of the year
sa which we have now arrived has been the sub-
ject of ch iite reference and felicitous illustra-
tion. The most striking of the parables were

BROMSGROVE.

BLOWING EP Fu.—At thp Petty Sessions on Wanes-
day, before Captain Bourne' mid Mr. Smallwood, live
young nen named James Shepherd, John Fletcher,
James Owen, alias Hall, William Read, and Jame'
Fletcher, alias Robinson. were charged with maliciously
destroying a large quantity of fish on the 2nd July last
in a pool at the Vicarage Farm, Stoke Prior' in the
occupation of Mr. Themes Asswell Parry. Read did not
appear.—The defendants were seen near the pool on the
morning of Sunday, the 2nd July, and in the afternoon
of the same day an explosion took place in the water,
and a quantity of fish were found floating upon the
water dead. A fuse which had been discharged was
found attached to a stake in the bed of the pool. Evi-
dence was given clearly fixing the guilt upon the defend-
ants, and they were all convicted.—Captain Bourne
pointed oat that the offence was an indictable one, and
defendants had rendered themselves liable to seven
years' penal servitude, or imprisonment withlorawithout
hard labour for two years; but as they were probably
not aware of the magnitude of the offence the Bench
had thought proper to deal with it in another way.
Defendants were each fined £3 and costs, or six weeks'
hard labour.
BIRMINGHAM " SWELLS " IN MODELL—John Reath-
colt, who gays his address as Birmingham, on bail, was
charged with indecently assaulting Jane Booth, a ser-
vant at the Golden Cross Hotel.—Mr. Nathan, of Bir-
mingham, instructed by Mr. Walter, defended.—From
the evidence it appeared that on Tuesday, the Bth lust,
the defendant, with three compsn'ons, drove from Bir•
mingham, and put up at tbe Cross Hotel and ordered
tea. Complainant showed them into a room, and Heath-
omit, who went into the room first, tried to throw her
down, and indecently assaulted her. The other young
men went in directly afterwards and laughed at what
was done' and Heathcott again assaulted complainant
in a similar manner, upon which she told her mistress.
—Mrs. Burrows, landlady of the hotel, proved that the
girl's clothes were in a very disordered atate.—For the
defence, Mr. Nathan contended that the proceedings
were taken out of spite, because defendants refused to
pay for some glass they had broken.—After fully in-
vestigating the case the Bench finedidefendant £5, and
costs 21F.

DEATH OF A WATERLOO VETERAN*. —A few
days since at the village of Hook Norton, Oxon,
Corporal William Cross, of the 43rd Foot, died in the
84th year of his age. This veteran served in America
in 1814, proceeded thence to Spain, and passed through
the whole campaign under the command of Sir William
Napier. He marched to Waterloo, where he dis-
tinguished himself by taking Buonaparte's carriage.
He entered Paris with the army, and was an eye-
witness of Marshal Ney'it death. On peace being
proclaimed he was discharged, but it was not until
within two years of his death that he received a pension
of 1.. 3d. per diem. Deceased was a native of Hook
Norton, in the churchyard of which his remains wr
deposited on Saturday last.

SUDDEN DEMI OF A CDIARTERMASTER.-011 Tuesday
morning, shortly after five o'clock, Mr. William Taylor,
chartermaster, of Eve Hill, gave orders to his son to
have his horse harnessed, in order that he might pro
ceed to the pits. Mr. Taylor afterwards asked for a
glass of water, but before this could be brought by his
son the father died. Mr. Taylor was about sixty years
of age.
SEarous ACCIDBNT.—On Monday night, a pleasure
party, with a "regular Black Country load," rade over
a man named William Rhodes, at the Belper. Dr.
Houghton, who was called in, reported that the man
had sustained internal injuries, which w.,re likely to
cause his death.

ALLIORD M4NGLIA7OIITER.—In inquiry into the cir-
cumstances which led to the death of William Rhodes,
ish dealer, was held before Mr. Watts on Wednesday
afternoon at the New Inn, Wolverhampton Street,
Dadley.—Mr. Stokes appeared for George Marsh, who
vu remanded to the Polls. Court on a sharp of sus-
slaughter.—Mrs. Rhodea, widow of the deceased,
identified the bode', and in reply to Mr. Stokes. said her
late husband was not deaf, bat suffered from slight
paralysis.—Oweit Hughes said he witneseed the accident.
Rhodes was crossing from Deeley's to his own house,
and jumped beck to avoid Crew's cart, when he wail
knocked down by Marsh's, and the wheel passed over
his body. The two carts were going at the rate of tea
or twelve miles an hour.—By Mr. Btokee : Ile did not
think they were racing, but one was trying to get past
the other. Marsh was not able to see deceased till he
was passing the other cart and close to him. He then
ahoutel and drew up as quick as he could.—George
Winceurch partially corroborated the previous evidence,
but stated that Crew and Marsh appeared to be racing,
and were driving at a very rapid pace.—Mr. J. H.
Houghton, surgeon, said Rhodes died from collapse,
resulting from the accident. —After a long deliberation
the jury returned a verdict of " Manslaughter against
George Marsh."

The National Gallery is a building whose exterior
fails to indicate the nature of the art treasures con-
tained within. Standing upon the eastern side of
Trafalgar-square, with the Nelson Column and the
lions directly in front, it occupies one of the best poti-
tions in the whole of the metropoli; The British
Museum is stowed away amongst the back streets of
Bloomsbury ; and the Tower is not easy of acceFs, either
by the river or by the narrow and tortuous ways hard
by Billingsgate-market. But Trafalgar square has
been called the finest site in Europe, although it is
doubtful whether it is superior to the Place de is
Concone in Paris. However, it is a splendid open
space, where, on a hot afternoon the spray of the
fountains is exceedingly grateful,

FLIES.

I The New York Herald says :—A census of the flies
has not been taken, owing ta the expense to the
government and to the disgraceful deficiency of our
system of arithmetic. It is thought, however, that
there are in New York city alone upwards of
5,000,000,000,000,000,C00,000,000,000 full•grown flies,,
;exclusive of ancient chieftains, pappooses, and squaws.:
iThits is an under estimate, but a few billions more:,
or less make no practical difference. It is enough
that there are too many. The vitality of a fly is
wonderful. Benjamin Franklin says that if you put a
fly into a bottle of wine, cork him up, and keep him
for a hundred years, And then open the bottle he
come out insensibly drunk; but that, put in the sun,„
he will revive and make a direct linelor your ear. Wel
I,ave not yet tried this experiment, but know that:l
Franklin must be right. The fly is the most faithful
of all creatures. Dogs desert their masters and horses
try to run away, but the fly always returns to us.
Leaving your nostrils or the left corner of your eye a
- will appear to forget your existence; but his fidelity
greatly abused. Hyenas and tigers can be tamed,
larrots can be educated to watch over infants, and cats
suckle mice ; but the fly is faithful to the in-
itincts of his race. One of the best of the dramatists
Queen Elizabeth's era, wishing to give an idea of
iectly wild nature, could only say that it was as
untamable as flies." What could be more express.
lye? Educated fleas are common, but an educated fly
an unknown creature. They do not need education,
they know too much already. Flies are particularly
•nd of heads which are hairless' but we have yet to
of a bald headed man who did not regard a fly,
rage. There are many kinds of flies—the green
the blue-tailed fly, the stifled ,fly, the butterfly, the
!rag= fly, the swamp fly, the horse fly, and the
panish fly, but the worst of all flies is the common
y. That is ths fly which is the pest of all nations.

HALESOWEN.

SINGULAR CASIL—At the Petty Sessions, on Tuesday,
before Moors. Gem, Phillips, and Bataan°, George
Pearsall, landlord of the Shenstone Hotel, charged
William Pyne with attempting to extort money from him
on the sth inst, by means of a threatening letter.—Mr.
Hayes prosecuted—The prisoner was formerly in the
employ of prosecutor as ostler and brewer, but was dis-
charged for drunkenness. On his promising amendment
he was allowed to return to his situation, but shortly
afterwards again left. A few days after this, the prose-
cutor received a paper from him purporting to be a
doctor's bill for 10a 6d for dressing injuries to his
head. Prosecutor refused to pay this amount, and a
note was sent to him by Pyne, claiming £8 10s as com-
pensation for an alleged assault by him. Be took no
notice of this, and on the sth inst. prisoner came to his
house and gave him a letter, which was produced. It
stated that unless he paid the amount claimed by ?pie,
the latter would inform the Inland Revenue officers
that he (prosecutor) had been using sugar in making his
ale. The prosecutor stated that he never used sugar in
brewing, and that he never authorised prisoner to use it.
He also denied committing any assault upon prisoner.—
A witness, wko had been in the habit of assisting in
pros( eator's brewing, said that he never saw sugar
used.—The prisoner admitted that he wrote the letter
in question "in a moment of irritation," but said that
he informed the Inland Revenue officers that prosecutor
used sugar in brewing before he wrote it. He called
Mr. Hinton, officer of Excise, to support this.—lt the
conclusion of the case the Bench committed the prisoner
to take his trial at the Assizes, bail—himself in £5O and
two suretiee in Xl5 sash—being allowed;
