Fuaay aHt fatat catastrophe.-A We
ry singular and funny and fatal contest
came of on the railroad in the vicinity Of
ofXonia, few days since. The conflict
was between big bull and the locomotive
on the aforesaid road. The conclusion it
is said was terrible, in the extreme, bnt the
head ofthc locomotive proved too hard for
for that of the bull which had its head
lractored and its neck broken at the first
blow. The bull had been making hostile
demonstration to wards the locomotive for
some time previous He was a large fellow
and had been lord of the bruteS in that
neighborhood for long time.-The dur
Nal visits of the huge putting monster he
regarded as an invasion on his premises. 1t
evidently "Stuck in his pauncy,' and trou-
bled him excessively.
After giving the locomotive lairWaming,
for several successive days by assuming
fierce and hoStlIcatttude upon It's approach
he resolved TO punish its impcrlnence, and
prevent its future iaroads by summary
castgaljon. eaccordiugIy planted him
se.flimly upon the track and Pitcht d head
foremost into the locomotive. But alas!
he calculated 90 much on his OWN
strength and the weakness Of his adveasa-
ry, aud the unfortunate bull came eff with
a fractured Shi. and broken neck being
otherwise put completely hors du combat.
The passengers aboard the cars admired
his spirit if they did not his discretion, and
Blatant. Although the passenger car was
thrown from the track, yet 10 one was
injured by The accident.
We suppose thls renconlro will furnish
a key to the solution Of the great question

Curing HlmS.-We rcpub'ish the fol-

IS none better
"For every hundred pounds Of meat
take five piu,s Of good molasses.( or five
pounds OF brown sugar. five ounces sal

gallons Of water and boil the Ingredients
over a gentle fire, skimmug off the lroth
or scum as itustS. CONTINUE the boiling
till the sauIl, &c, is dissolved. Have the
hams nicely cut and trimmed, packed in
casks with the shank end down as the
pickle will thus strike in better When
the pickle, prepared, as above, is sufficient

Mr.. Webster delivered himself in the
Senate on the 9th and 7lh, of one of the
bitterest philippics we ever read. HIS
subject of defence was the Washington
treaty of 1912, which he negotiated with
Lord Ashburlon. The defence is not
distinguished by the eloquence and ability
Of the speaker, but it contains much bitter
and rancourous inveciive. The godllke
got into towering passion, and denounced
the Hon. G. J. lngersoll, of the house, IN
unmeasured terms. The Washington u
MON thus speaks of this effort of the Hon.
Senator from MarshGeld
" lie was not content with defending
himself; but he carried the war into Ari-
ca. 1t was the severest, the bitterest, the
most scathng attack we have ever heard
in the Senate. But it did not exactly suit
the dignity Of that distinguished body
The invectve was violent and impasslon-
ed; but il wanted the splehdida bills of
the classic poet. 1t was rather the hack
ing of the handsaw than the piercing incl
sion of the polished Damascus. The ora
tor condescendel freely to employ such
epithets as Sc thing" d" creature" " the ca
ricature of mind,n SC, which would much
better grace any other lips, and any other
place than the lips of Senator Of the Uni
ted States.
We were sorry indeed TO perceive that
there was no dignity in the passion of the
honorable Senator, and that his vehement
Indignation was not relieved with a single
burst of magnanimity. 1t appeared as if
the whole urn of Xantippe were emptied
at once on the floor of the Senate cham.
Der. The wise lesson Of Hamlet seemed
TO have been entirely forgotten by the ora
tor. ain the very torrent, tempest, and
whirlwind of (his) passion" he never ac-
quired and begat particle Of temperance
that might give it smoothness. The at
tack was severe, and striking, and caustic
enough; but upon the whole, it was not
worthy of Mr.. Webster's acknowledged
abilities Place it alongside of Lord Chat,
hams indignant and dignifed reply to
Wapole, and every reader Of taste must be
struck al once with the contrast"
