AN ENooUNTRR WITH A RAMON Sat
urday last, Mr.. Goodwin Chalfant, resid-
log in East Marlborough township, while
walking around his premises was attacked
by ram. and before Mr.. q. could argue
his case with his ramshlp, he received
several severe blows, from which we learn
he sustained some severe bruises. What
makes Mr.. Chalfant's case all the more
severe is that some weeks previous he was
badly Injured from a tree falling upon him,
from which he had but partially recovered
when he met with the above related en-
counter. We would prescribe dose Of
eplzootlc to that very ran.-West Chester

TIE purchase Of the two little Hn-
finished railroads to connect Hunts
vile with Sparta, and designed to be
extended to Bristol, to connect with
MahOne's Norfolk line, or with the
Baltimore and Ohio or the Chesapeake

fire UPON the terrapin's back Of the
S1uthern Security Railway company.
To defeat this mode Of extending
RIahoue's, Garrett's OF Breckrnridge's
lines, Tom Scott sought the mastery
Of the Memphis and Charleston road.
The purchase of these little roads was,
therefore, wise; but their sale or reten-
