Our eccentric fellow citizen who represents the
2S,h legislative district of this county in the Gen
eral Court, fairly "biled'' over, yesterday, in
speech in favor Of the indefinite postponement of
the ballot for Sergeant.st AIMS, of which the
Boston Transcript says.
''He was repeatedly called to order by members
on the floor and the Speaker had some difficulty
in combining him to the point under discussion.
But he is 'plucky' fellow, and delivered himself
of an int lsey pungent speech against the junior
editor Of the Worcester paper, which would have
seemed fully fair had the said editor been in the
House to reply"
Osr fatulens young friend should try to keep
his temper, aud not suffer himself to get "riled"
so early in the session, that friend of his, who
it is said, is to be made Doorkeeper, in case Stew
ems is elected, through the aid Of his Bombastes
FuIioso exhibitions upon the foor Of the House
for the gratuitous entertainment of the members,
may lose his chance, which, we are told, grows
smaller every time that Parker tears passion to
tatters, or breaks a suspender button by his con-
tortions in trying TO convince a Republican House
to sacrifice one of the nohlest and trusst men of
its own party in order to give lucrative and re-
spohsibe Office to a man, than whom the Republi-
can party has no more bitter and persistent sp-
ponen: in the whole Commonwealth.

Observation-Disclosures.

DETROIT, Jan. 2l.-An extra session of the
Michigan Legislature was convened yester-
day, at Lansing. The exigeDcies demanding
a special session, as stated in the Governors
message are the revision of the judicial dis
tricts Of the State, so as to include counties
which have been left destitute OF means for
the collection of debts and the punishment Of
crimes some deficiency in the State finances,
which he proposes to meet by temporary
loan of $4,000, and, if necessary, by the is
sue and sale of new stocks, sufficient to re-
deem those falling due this year. He recon-
mends an appropriation for repairs to the st.
Mary's ship canal, made necessary by DANA
ges received during the past season of naviga-
ton. The Governor approves Of the action
of the commissioners Of the land offices, in
Withholding from sale swamp lands, and ia
vors the reduction in the price of public lands.
He Condemns the action of the federal gov
eminent relative to Kanzas affairs.

SENATORIAL JoBBMG. The Washington
correspondent of the New Tribune saws
"As Congress seems to be DESTROYS of max
irg clean work in reking out its corruption, l
feel it my duty to call public attention to
little affair in the Senate which needs VENT.
lation, particularly as uncommon pains have
been taken to cover it up and keep it close.
AT the extra session last year, Senator Ben
iamin Of Louisiana offered a resolution to
print 10000 copies of the bred Scott decis-
ion at the expense of the Government. The
Republican Senators indicated their intention
to oppose this movement strenuousy, and
the Democrats, gather than prolong the ses.
sion by such discussion, let the matter drop.
Another similar resolution was offered re-
Gently to the Senate, and went to the Com
mittee on Printing, The fact was then dis.
covered that Mr.. Benjamin and some other
Senators had induced the Senate printer,
without the slightest legal authority, to pay
$1,000 for the copyright of the decision, to
pay $500 for manuscript copy OF it, and to
expend good many thousand dollars more
in printing an Unauthorized edition. Having
got the printer into this scrape, they are try
ing to get him out of it at the expense of a
bankrupt treasury, by passing through the
Senate resolution TO pay for this illegal and
partisan transaction. To do so, would be a
violation of the compensation act, for the
bred Scott decisions is not government doc
ument, and the Senate has no more reason to
pay for an edition Of Biglers speech on Kan
sas, and to allow that eminent orator $1,000
Tor the copyright Of his production. The
transaction Is job, quite as bad in principle
as some oil those which the House is now In
vestigating with such indignant and edifying
virtue"

A BULL CHASE IN New YoRK.-On Mon"
day morning frantic bull broke away from
his keepers and rushed madly through the
streets of New York, followed b. crowd in
hot pursuit, headed by five policeman, who
fired with their reyolvers at the animal as he
ran, which only had the effect to infuriate
him The finale Of the affair is related as
fellows:
cat the foot of Remington street, the
bull ran into the corporation yard. Here he
received a volley of stones and bullets. when
he olambored up pile of stones, and scaled
fence eight feet high. He then ran through
Goerck street into tree-uail yard in Third
street. Here rope, which he carried round
his horns, was made last to post, and qnoth-
er and furious onset was made upon the poor
brute. He was struck on the head with
mauls and sclubs stabbed with knives in the
side and neck, and pistol shots were dis
charged into his body The only effect of all
this appeared to be to enrage him. For near
ly twenty minutes he kept his enemies at bay,
lodging the blows of the uplilted maui and
club Finally, he was assaulted with broad
axe; but it was not until his neck was liter
ally chopped half off that he was finally kill
ed, The man with the axe cut his own foot
badly, as the weapon glanced from the neck
of the bull"

BEAR SroRY.-The River Falls wis
consin) Journal tells a story after the simih-
tude of "Old Put" Of glorious memory.
About thirty miles from River Falls. at the
head of Cady's Greek, is long rocky bluff,
rising nearly one hundred and fifty feet above
the bed of the stream. The bluff is full Of
caverus leading in and branching off in all
directions. Most Of them are large enough
for man to crawl in. They have always
been noted resort for bears, and several have
been driven in during the present winter.
When once in they have been considered
lost, but a few weeks ago a party consisting
Of Ihomes Stevens, D. w. Hammond, e.
Burnett, c. g. Knowles, Charles D Almond
and John Dickey, determined to enter the
cave, and, if possible capture brun in his
stronghold Armed aud equipped they en-
tered the cave, buttheir progress was slow and
Iaoouous. In no place WIS the cavity large
enough for them to stand upright, while
great portion of the way they were obliged
to lie down and crawl over rocks and mud,
pushing their light before them After en-
tering aboutone hundred and fifty feet, a bear
was started by Burnett, who was foremost,
bruin retreating and the party following.
. Presently they came to fork in the cavern,
one wing leading to the right and the other
to the left. Stephens took the left entrance,
and had gone but a short distance when he
discovered the bear He notified his com pan
ions and then fired, wounding The bear,
and a comrade who had crawled as close
as possible after him repeated the dose. The
bear groWled ferely, but his wounds " ere
mortal, and little more lead quoted him.
A rope was then attached to the yarmint and
he was, with great difficulty, drawn from the
cave. He was monster dressing over four
hundred pounds. The only thing that saved
the hunters from death, and the expedition
from the reproach of foolhardness is the fact
that the bear had been made somewhat torpid
by the cold OF winter.
Since the above adventure three other bears
have been taken by another party from dens
in the same bluff, but the hunters describe the
operation as anything but pleasant safe.
