Hoss Head, as he moved back slowly on all
fours, until he go, the city hosses who could
brag of no,hih' bu their purity har and their
hides, right by the bars, and he rared sort %
this way, and sent both of them out Of the
bamyard khin',' and taking good aim he
gave the fops third and harder kick, which
sent them through the open door OIL the
pavement.
AS soon as the fops could get up, they ran
of screaming murder at tho top Of their
weak, feminine voices, which, however,
were not loud enough 10 alarm any one
The spec iators Of the scene nearly split their
sides with laughter, as kick after kick was
given, heartily concurring in the opinion,
that Hoss Head was administering just and
we'll deserved punishment After he had
gwen the last and mos, fearful kick, tho
Hoosier resumed an erec, position, and par
lIcipating in The general roar of laughter,
said:
'Wall, boys, guess I learned them dan
dies that the best hoss don't always show
the finest hair.
The event made Hoss Head quite lion at
the hotel. Invitations 10 drink were extend

was sen, 10 the table, he was conducted
in carriage lhro' the city 10 see the sights,
and when at length he staned for home, the
landlord told him he had no bill TO pay, aud

called him 10 the city.
John Isaiah Hempfeld Hoss Head express
sed himself highly delighted with the Queen

and left the Western Metropolis a very
highly tickled individual. The fops have
mol heen scen since that ever memorable
evening" when for a joke they assumed The

PoErRY IN OLD FOLKS.

often think each iollering frame
Tha, limps along in liie's decline,
Once bore heart as young, as warm,
AS full Of idle thoughts as mine!
And each has had hs dreams Of Joy,
It's own uuequaled, pure romance;
Commencing when the blushing boy
First thrilled al lovely woman's glance.
And each could tell bis tale Of youth,
Would think its scenes of love evince,
More passion, more uuearthly truth,
Than any tale before or since.
Yesl they could tell oi tender lays
At midnight penned in CLASSIC shades,
or days more brigh, than modern days
And maids more fair than modem maids.
OF whispers in willing ear,
OF kisses on blushing cheek;
Esch kiss each xhisper far loo dear,
Our modern lips 10 give or speak.
OF passions too uulimely crossed;
or passions sighted or betrayed
OF Kindred spirits early lost,
Ol buds that blossom'd but 10 fade.
or beaming eyes and tresses gay,
Elastic iorm and noble brow,
Aud forms tha, all have passed away,
And left them what we see them now.
Aud is il lhus--is human love
So very light and frail thing :.
And must youths brightest Wis sons move
Forever on Times restless wingl
Must all the eyes that still are bright,
And all The lips that talk oi Hiss,
And all the forms so fair 10 sight,
Hereafter only come to thse
Then what are all earh's treasures wouh,
II we at length must lose them thus
II all we value here on earth
Ere long must fade away from us.

Dreadful Accident on the Great Westeru
Railroads.&c. or 80 Lives Lost.

TORONTO, CIV, March 1.-THE train which
left Toronto this afternoon for Hamilton, on
the Great Western r Railroad, ran of a bridge
at or near that city. The locomotive and bag
gage car passed over the bridge in safety, but
the two rear cars, containing I20 passengers.
fell through into the wster-a distance Of 20
feet. Sixty or eighty persons are supposed TO
have been killed on the spot; among whom
were Samuel Zimmerman, the banker and
contractor, and Mr.. Street, the millionaire, of
Niagara Falls, together with his sister and
nother-in-law. Thomas c. Mscklin il also
reported killed.
Many bodies have not yet been taken from
the water, and the names of but few have
been ascertained. The passengers who es-
cape death, are all more or less mangled, and
are, many of them, beyond recovery Doc
tors are leaving Toronto and Hamilton yet for
the scene Of the catastrophe. There were
several Americans among the killed. Ihs
bridge was partially broken down, and the
cars fell one on top Of the other distance Of
forty feet.
The excitement caused by this terrible o.
tastrophe is beyond precedent. Parliament
adjourned the moment il heard of the scci-
dent. Nothing has heretofore occurred in this
vicinity that has created snch profound grief.
