WONDERFUL ESCAPE FROM FERocrous
BULL.-In the town of Bridgewater, N. Y,
last week, Brace Hall, little son of Deacon
Hal of that place was grieyously gored by a
bull, and almost miraculously escaped with
his life. The bull was fine young anime.

tested any considerable viciousness. But bows
who had a bathing place in the brock that
runs through its pasture had worried il hv
shaking their clothes at it, and so getting up
+ the excitement of a chase. On Monday of
last week, little Brace was passing carelessly
through the field where were forty animals
with this bull among them, when it suddenly
set upon him and tossed him repeatedly upon
his horns. A faithful dog, which accom-
panied the boy attacked the bull, and caught
upon its neck with firm teeth. The below
ing and wild running about of the other cat
tie in the field, made up an exciting scene.
For about eight rods the bull tossed the boy,
tearing his clothes completely off; and the
boy all the time endeaYoring to reach a fence
so as to escape.
He had already touched the boards, when
the bull again tossed him. and his head struck
against the fence, tearing the scalp horribly
But fortunately the horns of the animal had
wrenched one of the boards off and the VIC

opening SO opportunely made, into an ada,

his escape, and with almost human sagaeiiy
turned down tc ward an opening into the lane
some distance off. But the boy had mean-
time climbed over another fence, and was be.

dog who had vainly endesvored tie restrain
the beast. hastened to the boys father, and
by signs and means attracted his attention,
and led him to the presence of his wounded
son. He was taken home and cared for, and
we understand there is every reason to believe
he will recover from his injuries. The self
possession of the boy alone saved his life.

WASHINGTON MATTgRs.-W Washington, Au-
gust lS.-The President has issued procla-
mation for an extra session Of Congress, to
meet on Thursday next.
The assault by Mr.. McMulen on Mr.. Gran
ger today was disgraceful affair. The par
ties were in an omnibus proceeding to tho
capitol, aud fell into a conversation on poiti.
cal affairs. Both were earnest. Mr.. McMul-
len said the South would not submit to the
election Of Fremont. Mr.. Granger replied
that after November they would have to sub
init. The discussion Immediately became per-
sonal; Mr.. McMullen said he was insult
ed, and told Mr.. Granger his gray hairs alone
protected him. Mr.. Granger said he asked
no immunity whereupon Mr.. McMullen
struck him two severe blows, bruising Mr..
Granger's face badly. Mr.. Granger defended
himself as well as he could. The parties
were Immediately separated by Col. Chester
Cot the pennsylvania Inquirer who gives
substantially the foregoing account of the af-
iaIr' MIR. Granger is an old man, considera-
ply under the medium height very earnest
IN his manner. but frank, good natured, and
generally popular.

DIR. Eads, the superintendent of pub
lie instruction in Iowa, has committed giant
fraud upon the school fund. Two hundred
thousand dollars that was intended Tor the ed
ucation of the children of Iowa, have been
squandered and wasted, loaned out 70 lazza-
roni of the pro-slavery party invested in cor
ner-lots, IN newspapers, in everything but the
legal one. 1t is the most astounding defalca
tion that has ever occurred in the State.
A statement, copied from a German
newspaper, says that on the ODD Of March last.
some well diggers in Mayence e4cayated a
part Of a printing press, bearing the letters r.
g., and figures 1881. The initials are sun
posed to be those of Johannes Guttenberg.
while the figures indicate that the press must
be at least 425 years old.
On Friday, at 2 O'Clock, P. NJ. the
barn attached to the Aims House, in North
ampton, was entirely consumed with all its
contents, consisting of a bull, swine, and
large quantity of hay and grain. 1t is sup
posed that one Of the inmates took the occa-
sion of the absence Of MI. Bartlett, the over
seer of the house, to set the fire. No insur-
ance.
1t is said that before the recent election in
Missouri, an arrangement was made between
the Benton and anti-Benton parties. by which
1t was agreed that the electoral ticket Of the
party polling the greatest number Of votes at
the gubernatoral election should be considered
the regulur one, and the other Withdrawn.
The Benton electoral ticket has therefore been
Withdrawn. Nevertheless the St Louis Re-
publican says that tie greater part Of the
Benton votes in st. Louis at least, will be cast
for Fremont, for whom an electoral ticket will
be forthwith nominated.
The Erie LPa.) Constitution says: l''
There are now over thirty papers that sup
port Fillmore in Pennsylvania, and more than
ninety advocate the claims of Fremont. The
Fremont papers undoubtedly have a combined
circulation OF 10000, or more than double
the circulation Of the Buchanan and Fillmore
papers combined. There are not over half
dozen jealous Fillmore papers in the State"
