A SPANISH BULL FIGHT.
Gen. c. w. Darling saw bull fight a
Grenada, which is thus noticed:

Gen. c. w. Darling saw bull fight at
Grenada, which is thus noticed:
A certain number of the young gran
dees of Spain, many of whom are trained
to fight the bull as a gentlemanly accom-
plishment, had volunteered to display
their science at an amateur bull-fght given
for some ''pious and patriotic purpose,
in accordance with the ruling of the law.
A large assemblage of spectators were
present, among whom were representa-
tives of the principal families.
Several bulls had been successfully
combatted with, in the manner already
described, and had fallen victims to the
superiority of skill over brute force. In
fortunately, however, while the tilted
Espador was facing bull, during mo-
mentary pause for rest, with sword In
position for the death thrust, the wounded
animal, streaming with blood from
wounds previously inflicted, sprang at
him with savage desperation. The Es-
padOr, TO escape the bulls horns, changed
position by rapid movement, and turn
ing quickly around, with his sword still
poised, ran the weapon, unintentiOnally,
through the body of his friend and com
rade, who stood a short distance behind
him. The young man was noble of the
realm, greatly beloved by a large circle OF
acquaintance, many of whom were wit
nesses of his tragical end. He gave a
scream of agony, drew the sword from
his body, while his friends were petrified
with horror, uttered the words, '1Ou
have killed me - then staggered and fell
dead at the feet of his friend and slayer,
in the presence of his own immedi ate
family.

REMARKABLE DISCOVERY

AntedfIuvIan Sen Serpent ira Endi.
ana-Its Fortified Body One Hum.
dred and Eighty Feet Below the
= Surface-Other singular PetrIfica-
lions.
The Sullivan Indiana) Union gives an
account of one of the most wonderful dis
coveries of the age, which was made in
the Curreysville coal mines a few days
ago. At depth of $50 feet while the
miners were cutting through a slate stone,
they discovered the petrifed body of a
sea serpent. We examined its petriica-
ton, and can say, with truth, that it is
the finest specimen we ever saw. I'm
fortunately it was broken into three pieces,
and a piece from near the centre is
missing-perhaps thrown out in a
silver of stone. A limb had evidently
fallen across the serpent, about eight or
ten inches from the head, and mashed
the part underneath flat, and strange to
say, even this thin part was formed into
solid stone, and was taken out perfect.
The wrinkles in the body of the serpent
in its writhing as if TO extricate itself
from the stick that fell across it, were as
perfect and natural as the day the affair
took place. The head is shaped like that
of an eel, and the tail from indications,
must have been supplied with a broad fin,
or flat, fleshy substance, as propeller
The eyes and mouth can be distinctly
traced, while the body is covered with
small sunken spots, similar to those on a
hogs skin, though not so small or numer-
GUS. This specimen is five feet three
inches long, near ten inches around the
largest part of the body.
la addition to this most singular curios-
ity, perfect impressions of leaves, limbs,
brush, and other samples of vegetation
were taken out at enormous depth. Among
these was beautiful impression of what
is familiarly called snake weed, or fern,
which grows in almost every valley
throughout the Western country.
The most singular specimen is yet to be
described, and in attempting to cOmmu-
nicate the fact to our readers we feel as
though the history OF our earth is just as
much mystery to the present generation
as it was to those who inhabited it before |
the flood-the ''half having not yet been |
told The sole of a shoe or sandal was |
taken out in a complete state of petTiica |
ton. The heel is almost perfect, and Che |
impression of something in the heel, re-
sembling lacks or nails, is plain and dis
tinct. The specimen is about eight inch
cs long and of the usual width.
When this discovery is seriously con-
sidered, in connection with the general |
formation Of the earth for a circumfer- |
ence of between seventy and eighty miles |
sround-there not being hill of any ma
terial height-not a Tavine of depth |
worthy of remarl-not a cavern, and the |
Wabash the largest stream within this |
scope, and the earth almost level, and |
thickly and heavily timbered, what mind |
can 90 down into the bowels of the earth |
$50 feet beneath the firmly rooted, aged |
oaks of the forest, and solve the mysteries

FATE OF AEAITHFUL DOG.


A gentleman living at Wauwatosa re-
lates to us to-day the following incident,
Spr the truth of which he vouched
~N0ne day last week man went to a sa-
loon, as was his daily custom, to drink,
and meeting boon companions, remained
with them till late at night, when he
started TO 90 home. Overcome by the
LIQUOR he had drank, the man laid down
on the railroad track and went to sleep.
A faithful dog, who had followed the
man, stood and watched over him,
until the whistle Of lOcomo-
tive in the distance showed that
a freight train was approaching. The
dog, fully aware of the danger imminent
To his master, tried TO arouse the drunken
man, and tore his clothes badly in the
attempt. Unable TO awake the sleeper,
the dog took the man by the shoulder and
fairly dragged him from the track Just as
the train came on. The man was saved,
but the poor dog who had so faithfully
protected the master he loved, was struck
by the COW catcher and smashed tOpleces.
When the man recovered his senses it was
found that his flesh was bitten in several
places by the dog, in the strong efforts
, made by the animal to save life. The
SI1an the next day gathered up the pieces
pof the faithful animal and buried them,
He was so fully impressed by the remark
ably narrow escape from death that ht
has resolved not to get drunk again.

The sun, with his golden censor swung

Ak iron mask for the cure Of drunken
wife is among the latest novelties in

LEROY, a matchmaker, was arrested on

and mask with which he had covered
her face was produced in court. 1t con
sisted of two iron rings quarter OF an
inch thick. attached TO each other 10y YeT-
teal bars of strong hoop iron, each an
inch wide. One of the rings was about
nine inches in diameter, and the other SIX
inches, the smaller part resting upon the
shoulders when the instrument was placed
in position. The bars were about two
inches apart, and to prevent the weareI
getting anything to her mouth piece OF
iron was placed across two of the bars IN
front. 1t weighed three pounds. II
turncd out, however, that the woman was
allie TO reverse the mask and drink glas:
