Terrible AccIpEST.-O Monday last, aS
we learn from the Worcester Spy. boy some
twelve years Of age, by the name OF Streeter,
living in tho town Of Lisbon, about two miles
below the Franconia Iron Works, on what
is called the south branch of the Ammonoosue
river, went into pasture near by TO catch a
thrce-year-old colt TINT has been in the
habit Of jumping. To prevent him from
indulging in that habit, his head was tied
down to one of his fore-fcet with rope.
The boy united the rope from his feet; the
knot was a slippingnoosc and he, probably
thinking it no harm, put the moose over one
Of his wrists. From some cause the colt ran,
throwing the boy to the ground. He went
with almost lightning speed, throwing the
boy at times higher than the colts back.
lie finally stopped, and thr people who saw it
rushed to his assistance, but it was too late;
the poor little fellow gasped once or twice
after they came to the spot, and Immediately
expired,

Scenes in the Senate.

CGsr,esDo,lcDcc ofMe BaltiD,oye american.
" ,suI>Grox. Jan. %. lS59.-A scene of un-
u.ual excitement occurred iii Executive SeS-
SION nr the Senate on Friday evening, when
rhe nomination Of Mr. Potter, ~ Collector Of
Toledo. was pending Mr.. Douglas, after
cspou,ins Mr.. Pushs opposition to this nom
nation, asSailcd in very strong terms, the ap-
no;ntmcnts which had been made in Illinois,
denouncing them corrupt and infamous, and
CHARGING the President with the direct res
pon,ibilitv. Mr. Fitch replied, and after re-
viewing the facts, said Mr.. Douglas had stat
ed what The knew to be untrue The gen.
cral tone of his remarks was 50 personal, that
he was interrupted by various calls to order
from Mr.. Crittenden and others.
Mr.. Douglas retortcd defending his allega-
lions, but admitting that there might be
some exceptions among the officials. Sui, a'
n General rule he maintained they came with
in the scope of his criticism. Mr.. Davis eX-
messed regret and indignation that such
scenes could be witnessed III the Senate, which
only proved how much it had fallen from It's
exalted position. Language had been en-
ploved which would disgrace Il bar room
MIR. Shields referred to the scene as mortitylng,
and exhibiting passion on all sides. Mr..
Davis admitted that his resentment at the
spectacle had found expression in stronger
language than he designed, therefore wished
10 recall it. Mr.. Fitch confessed he owed an
apology to the chamber for exceeding the
bound. of proper debate, but so far as the
Senator from Illinois was concerned, he had
not word to take back or 10 qualify. After
this episode the Senate adjourned without
action upon the nomination, and leaving MIR.
Fjtch's personalities unanswered.
The friends of Mr.. Douglas are much exer-
cised and require that he shall take some
step to relieve his position either bya frank
admission that he does not recognize THE
code" or by an explicit demand for retrac-
ton from Mr.. Fitch. Afterthe recent issues
with Mr.. Slidcll and Mr.. Jones, this new and
more aggravated controversy, they think re-
ouires some decisive action, which will pre-
Vent a recurrence of such scenes. In "A mcm-
orabe encounter with Mr.. Sumner, Mr.. Doug
