singular and uea ~ rr.gical event recently
occurred in the comm me of Salavre ODE
partmeut Of Ain.) A butcher Of the envi>
rons vas engaged ia dcspatching an OK.
and the animal had received two blows on
the head, when breaking the ropes that
held him by gigantic effort, he broke from
the slaughter-ho and rushed through the
village The public square was full of peo-
people who narrowly escaped death. Like
lightning the OK cleared a courtyard, a
garden and an orchard, and finding door
open before him, he entered house, went
through several rooms, and finally dashed
into chamber, where a child was sitting
alone. Imagine the terror Of the poor child
at the sudden apparition of the Infatuated
brute, the blood pouring from him in tor
rents and obeying no instincts hu. those of
rage aad pain. The aaimal suddenly
stopped, lowered his head and prepared to
gore her with his horns. The girl profied
by this momentary pause, and springing to
the window with fearful cry, plunged
through 1t without calculating the distance
Of her fall. She was, however. caught in
the arnsof courageous spectator, aud
thus saved from destruction. There was
need Of despatch, for no sooner had the child
been removed outof harms way, than the
animal; freed from the only obstacle which
impeded his progress, resumed all his fury
and impe,uosi.y, and plunged through the
same window. But he was surrounded and
secured, during the momentary insensibii>
ity cassed BY his fall, in which he broke
one Of his horns. and was dispatched on the
spot. The relation Of this occurrence gave
additional zeststo the hearty meal which
his quarteredcarcass furnished on. CHRISTI

richer and Of higher stock but the girl had
great deal of good sense as we'll as feel

Santa Anna exits from Mexico with a
Proclamation, and under. the protection of
an American Guard, as he entered it unde:
N American Passport. He has discharged
kis mission,-whether it be that Mr.. Polk
intended or not, we cannot 4say,-and he
now retires to Jamaica.
But upon that exit, there is more materi-
al for reflection, than we can have room for
in the extraordinary pressure ofthese excl
ting timeS.-That he has been the means
of the sacrifice of thousands of our country
men by the sword Of Mexicans, or by the
climate of Mexico, there can be no doubt.
He alone could have aroused his county
men to make the fierce war against as, that
they made. His talents, and his inspiring
voice only could have awakened Mexico
from her torpor. BIT for him, many gal
liant soldier whose bones are now bleaching
in Mexico would have returned to his home
and his friends. The fatal "pass" tina.

been the temptation for it, has been the
loss of thousands of lives, and millions Of

OLD MAIDS OF PARrs.-Among the pro-

Vile, to claim the maximum Of their rights,
and be assured the minimum, was recently
noticed II deputation Of the old maids of Pa
ris. They promenaded along the quai in vir-
tuous order, and on arriving ut their place of
destination, respectively demanded that the
arrangements for marriage should he so look
ed into, that every honest woman might re-
ceive, at least, minimum ola husband. The
member charged to receive deputauions res
pended, that the matter could not properly
become the subject of n special decree but
that the articles wanted belonged to the class
of voluntary and patriotic gifts. The process
sion of the lovely unasked for then took their
way back along the quai, crying occasionally,

The Arkansas Man who never ~ =,

One time an Arkansas man Oenu;na
character who had been born and bred
in the backwoods, happened to be in a
river town on the banks Of the Father
OF Waters, when one of its largest and
most magnificent steamboats, was lying
at the pier. Our hero was magniicently
clad in wolf-skin cap, and blue bome-
spun trowsers. thrust into bis enormous
cow.hide boots. His huge red hands
we're adorned with brass rings, and nu-
merous warts as large as nutmegs, which
gave note Of his approach as he walked
like the rattle oithe reptile. Attracted by
the sound ofmusic, the genius stroled on
board the boat and accosted the captain:
'Mornin' stranger. Pretty pert music

The Arkansas man needed no further
information. He went down stairs into
the cabin where two tables were laid out
for dinner. Walking up the narrow pas
sage between them, he swept f'knives
and forks by The swing of his coat flaps,
but SO intent was he upon the music and
the piano at the farther end of the cabin,
that he needed not the ruin he created.
Approaching the instrument, he liter
ally devoured it with his eyes. The
young lady who was seated at it contin-
ned playing, and the stranger was wrap
ed in silent wonder At length, when
the sounds ceased, he raised his cap re-
spectfully,and addressed the audience:
Ladies, I'm much obliged TO you for
your kindness you hev done me. | new

never 'spect to agin.'

who once afforded queer manifestation
of that odd compound of incompatibles,
called human nature"
1t was Christmas eve, of one of those
old fashioned winters which were so
"bitter cold" The old lady put on an
extra shawl; and as she hugged her sbiv-
ering frame, she said to her faithful ne
gro servant:
at is terribly cold night, Scip. am
afraid my poor neighbor, widow Greene,
must be suffering. Take the wheelbar-
row, Scip. Fill it full of wood. Pile on
good load, and tell the poor woman to
keep herself warm and comfortable. But
before you go, Scip, put some wood on
the fire, and make me a nice mug of flip.'
These last orders were duly obeyed,
and the old lady was thoroughly warmed
both inside and out And now the trusty
Scipio was about to depart or his errand
of mercy, when his considerate mistress
interpoSed again;
Stop, Scip; you need not go now
The veather has mOderated-Bost Recor.
