a Wild Rull Chasc.--Eisht Killed and
One Precipitatcd Three Hundred
Feet Down an Entertainment.

Quite an exciting time was created
throughout Hudson City yesterday, owing
TO the fact that drove of wild bulls had got
loose and were dashing through the streets
ut fearful rate, running down everything
they came in contact with, and lnJuring
several persons. 1t seems that they had
been brought on from Texas, and by some
means nine Of them got out Of the cattle
yard and dashed up towards the upper por-
ton of the city. They first upset milk
wagon, nearly killing the driver they then
knocked down several horses, making
dead drive at every wagon that came
along. Three or four dashed up Pail
SADIE avenue, while the others took Clin-
ton and Montgomery avenues. Quite
number Of persons were Knocked down.
A little girl named Harriet Scheling was
badly injured by being trampled upon.
One of them, in his wild career, jumped
over the side of the hill near Warren street
and precipitated three hundred feet below
OH the rocks and instantly killed. Several
men were ordered out by the owner, armed
with guns and pistols, and told to shoot
them down. For several hours they pur-
sued them up one street and down another,
and after some four hours hard tramping
they succeeded in dispatching them ALL
Two they chased clear up in West Hobo
ken. A gentleman named Seyer, residing
OH Hudson avenue, ca1fe very near being
shot. One of the balls that was aimed at a
bull near his house passed through his hat.
It was surprising that no one was fatally
injured,

Cooperative ooKERY.-Professor Blot,
having despaired of the attempt of making
the American people nation ofepicures by
teaching the ladies how to cook, now pro-
poses to reach the same end by system of
great cooperative kitchens, from which, if
we may trust his promises, he is TO send out
breakfasts, dinners, and suppers, COO ked in
the perfection of the gastronomic art, and
yet costing less than the ill-prepared meals
which we are accustomed to bolt. At Il
meeting held in Brooklyn the Professor de-
Yeloped his plans: He intends to have an
extensive central kitchen, where food Of
every description will be prepared and sent
to families in any part ofthe city. Families
would be supplied with bills of fare from
which to order what they pleased for every
meal. The food would be carried in tin
pals, enclosed in wooden boxes lined with
felt, so arranged that the food would remain
hot for hours. Food ut the central kitchen
would be prepared more economically and
more scientifically than by ordinary family
cooks.-Balttnaore american.

table-talk at the De Groat dinner. Amongst
other things, he said:
"If the Democrats had run Hancock and
Hendricks they would have carried Penn
sylvana and Ohio last October year, and
that would have elected them in Novem-
ber." If Chase had been nominated
last year the Tribune would have gone
Grant, but would have told the truth about
the Chief Justice. He would have carried
all the southern States. He's the greatest
man we have now" " Mark Twain
