ANTICS OF A MAD Cow-An immense
crowd gathered this morning at Twenty
first and Pine streets. Although attended with
some danger, it was a scene OF considerable
amusement among the eXcitables present. The
COW rushed around in a miscellaneous manner.
1t tossed two little children, and injured them
severely. One of them, named Donnelly, was
taken to the Hospital. 1t then upset whole
row of chairs in front of a saloon, and spilled
out the occupants. About Twentieth and Pine
streets the COW made a rush at very quiet
horse that was standing with milk wagon, and
gored the horse in savage manner. Two chill
uren were upset but not very severely injured.
The COW started from Third and York streets,
but did not commence her active campaign until
she reached the region of the Schuylklll Rangers
Three men were standing on the corner OF
Twenty second and Pine streets, cheering, when
the COW made at them and upset them, and then
making a selection, downed her man, and IN
passer by attempting to preserve the first man,
she chased the rescuer. TIE COW placed her
head against his rear, and then ran him along
at furious pace, driving him before her In
Spanish fashion,
She went down Lombard to Seventeenth street,
followed by the crowd. Here several ATTEMPT
were made by excited individuals to kill her,
but they only succeeded in wounding her in
several places with shots from pistol. Finally,
citizen succeeded in knocking her down with
large stone, at Seventeenth and Lombard
streets, and Lieutenant Connolly had her des-
| patched, and her remains converted into beef,
which now awaits an owner. During her head
long course, the co ran into the mail wagon

TIE REPORTED INVASION OF MEXICO
The report that Gen. Sedgwick, CON-
manding the sub district of the Rio
Grande, had crossed over into Mexico
with a brigade of Federal troops and oc-
eupied Matamoras-frst telegrsphed, we
believe, to the New York World, and
then to Chicago paper-proves to have
been purely a canard. There is ground
for congratulation in this fact, for how
ever decided may be the sympathy OF
Americans generally with the Liberal
cause in Mexico, it must be apparent
that the occupation of Mexican soil by
United States troops cannot but have
the effect to render our relations with
the French Government extremely deli
cate-a result sincerely to be deplored
1t time when we are looking for the
peaceful solution OF the whole question
at an early day BY the voluntary with
dYawal OF the French troops. The re-
port is alleged now to have originated
from come dispatches sent by Gen.
Sheridan to H.intselman, oisspproving
certain acts u ths commander Of The
BIO Grande.

WHAT ONE WOMAN DID.-At the out
break of the rebellion northern born
woman of firm Union principles lived in
Alabama. Her situation was so critical
that her husband sent her to her friends,
promising that he would not take up
arms against his country. During the
whole four years of the war she was un-
able to hear from him, until on return
ing to Alabama she learned that he had
fallen in the first battle of Bull Run.
She then resolved in her desolation to
devote herself to the welfare of the
freedmen, by becoming their teacher
The Christian Register tells the story
GOTTEN was she hooted at and even
stoned in her walks to and from school,
by rude boys or the students of an
academy in the town, though the sad
veil of her widowhood drawn closely
around her might have invited pity in
stead of insult. The good woman who
protected and lodged her was prosecuted
and stunned because she sheltered q
Yankee schoolmarm.' Insult, danger,
complete social isolation and hatred,
Mrs. - could bear unmoved, till they
threatened her only white friend. Then
she took refuge in black mans home.
Finally an order from President johnson
threatened the removal of the Freed
mems Bureau from the town. The off,
Ger in charge warned Mrs. - that her
life would not be safe one moment after
the slight protection Of the Bureau was
withdrawn. With sad heart she babe
her colored friends 'goedby,' packed her
trunk, and sat waiting one morning for
the stage. The door Of her room was
suddenly opened. Looking up she re-
cognizpd Mr.. -, one of the most In
fiarntial men in the county. He greet
