THE SPIDER AND THE TOAD-A
CURIOUS INCIDENT.

The following singular relation is fun.
nished by correspondent of the TraV.
elier, as having been witnessed by a per-
son now living though occurring more
than forty years ago, about sixteen miles
from this city:
The narrator said, that while walking
in the field he saw a large black field spi.
der, considered Of the most venemous,
species, contending with common sized
toad. The spider being very qaick in its
movements, would get nl,n the back o!
the toad and bite it, when the toad, with
its fore paw, would drive off the spider.
1t would then hop to plantain, which
was growing near by, and bite it, and
then return TO the spider. After see-
ing this repeated several times, and
noticing that each lime the toad was
bitten il went 10 the plain;aiD, the specia-
tor thought he would pull up tho plain
tain and watch the result. He did so.--
Being again bitten, and the plaintain not
TO be found, the toad soon began to swell
and show other indi, . ons Of being poi
soned, and died in short time. II the
plan,ain, which grows so abundan,ly near
almost every dwelling in this vicinity WAS
such an immediate and effeetaal remedy
to the toad for the bite Of the spider, can
we not reasonably infer that IL would be
an effectual cure for man for the bite qs

SINGULAR AND EXTRAORDINA-

We met with the most interesting case
this morning which has occurred in our
experience for long time. We were in

one ofthem, he upbraided them son ewhat
sharply, when they attacked him. Be

feet in his shoes, he soon laid two of them

All efforts to extract it proved futile
Strange TO say, he felt very little pain or
Inconvenience from his condition. The
wound soon healed, and he attended to
his regular avocations, as if nothing had
happened. Three years after. the wound

who, feeling the ragged edge Of the blade
made several efforts to draw it out, and
after considerable labor drew from the
wound portion Of the base Of the broken
dirk, which measured within a fraction o

an idea OF the amount remaining which
was supposed to be piece of about the

An Appalling Steamboat Disaster.

The particulars OF an appalling steamboat
disaster will be found in another column
The Canadisn steamer Montreal was de-
stroyed by fire, when near Quebec, and about
200 passengers we're either drowned or burnt
to death. Another rumor gives the number
as high as 800 or 400 The majority were
Scotch emigrants, but there were also some
German families, and a few Americans. 1t
appears that the Montreal left Quebec at a
o'clock in the afternoon of the Goth, for Mon
treal, with 400 or 500 passengers on board.
Nothing unusual occurred, until the steamer
reached Cape Rouge, twelve or fifteen miles
above Quebec, when the woodwork near the
furnace was discovered to be on fire. The
flames soon broke forth, fearful panic en-
sued, and Capt. Rudolf, finding it impossible
to save the steamer, ordered her to be be run
towards the shore. The fire, however, spread
so rapidly. that an appalling loss of human
life took place. The scenes we're truly heart.

The Opinion Of Judge Knox.

After the Supreme Court had delivered
their opinion in the injunction cases against
the sale of the Main Line, Judges Lowrie
and Knox read opinions also.
Judge Knox said that the principal ques-
tion raised was-Can the Legislature bind
itself and its successors for all time to come,
not to exercise the power Of taxation upon the
business or property of an inco, ,porated COM
pany7 That there are 40 words in the Con-
stitution which expressly declare that the
Legislature shall not relinquish the power to
impose taxes upon persons or property, nor
is such prohibition to be necessarily implied
from any of the restrictions imposed upon
legislative action but unless the power to
part with the right to tax passed to the Gen
eral Assembly by the grant of legislation, it
it does not exist, although forbidden. 1t is
difficult, if not entirely impossible. to define
with precision in what the Legislative or law
making power consists. but it is very clear
that it is not an absolute power to do what
ever the General Assembly may determine to
do, for if it were, there would practically be
but one department of government instead of
three, or at least the executive and judicial
departments would be at the mercy and under
the control of the legislative department, and
our chartered system of checks and restraints
completely destroyed.
The power 10 impose taxes is entirely leg
islative in its character, and the General AS
sembly is possessed OF this power to the full.
lest extent, for it was conferred by the people
without restriction, to be used, however, as
the exigencies of the government required.
and not to be bartered away to answer pres.
ent purposes at the expense of the future -
The power to impose taxes does not include
the power to grant immunity from taxation
any more than the power to provide punish.
ment for the commission of crime implies the
power to grant exemption from all punish
ment. To deduce the right to contract The
power away, from the right to exercise it. ii
to claim the right to destroy because the righ
to preserve is conceded.
Judge Lowrie's opinion discussed the con
stitutionality of the act of Assembly for th'
sale Of the Main Line, and the reciprocal du
les Of & overnment and citizens.

Supreme Court Decision.

The decision of the Supreme Court on the
application for an injunction against the sale
of thu Main Line was delivered by Chief JUS
tice Lewis, at Philadelphia, on Tuesday the
23d ult., and is very able, exhibiting much
learning and research. All the judges were
upon the bench, and the opinion of the Court
was unanimous /:
The points decided were as follows
LIST. That the Legislature had Constitution
al authority to authorize the sale Of the Main
Line.
I'd That the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany may lawfully become purchaser at
such sale.
3D. That the Legislature have constitu-
tional authority to repeal the tonnage tax.
4th. That the Legislature cannot bind the
State by contract from imposing equal taxes,
and that the condition Of sale to the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company in that respect is
void. and an injunction to that extent is gran
ted, but
5th. That in all other respects the sale may
90 on and the Pennsylvania Railroad Compa-
ny may bid and purchase on the same terms
as other corporations and individuals
Justices Lowrie and Knox also delivered
opinions. III which they discuss the question
of exempting corporations from taxation -
Judge Knox's opinion was as voluminous as
that of the Chief Justice.

las been called to Washing

General Scott has been called to Washing
ton by the President to perfect arrangements
for the despatch of troops to Utah. 1t is the
design of the administration to send out the
new Territorial officers with the military force
thus ensuring their safety from attack while
on the journey. The final orders for The gui-
dance of the commander Of the troops are in
preparation No attempt will be made TO in
terfere with the religious or social institutions
of the Mormone, but the United States laws
will be rigidly enforced. Already the troops
detached for Utah are in motion. Three CON-
panies on this service passed over the New
York and Erie Railroad on Tuesday.
The Washington Star says, we have satis-
fed oursels that tie Utah Gevernorship prob
lem will shortly be settled by commissioning
Col. Cummius, of Missouri TO that now mort
arduous and trying post under the Govern
ment of the United States. When it wss hrst
rendered to that gentleman, various points
had not been definitely arranged, which inoi-
dentally operated to make it questionable
whether Col c. could 60 thither under cir
cumstances wherein he would feel assured that
his administration would be successful one.
These difficulties, We apprehend, have been.
one by one obviated. until so few remain as
that there can be little question now as to bis
acceptance Of the post. He is gentleman
of high personal character. the result of his
conduct for long life time in the Far West
where he has executed many important trusts
all with entire satisfaction. His experience
fits him capitally for the place while his
tempcr-an element of great Importance un-
der the circumstances-is prorerbfaliy even
firm and conciliatory, without being such a.
to admit the possibility that he will make any
concessions that may jeopardize his final suc-
cess in the work of rc-establishing the supre
macy of the laws and government Of the UNI
ted States in that quarter. without bfoodshsd'
