A Lively Dispute.

Quite a lively dispute is going on between
several Changers at Fort Byron and the
New York Central Railroad Company
The Company arr anxious to purchase the
right CT way in order to lay their new
double track, but the owners OF the partic-
ular section refused to accept the terms
offered. Thursday Supt. Barrows, accom-
panied with about 900 men, headed by
Trackmastcr BarstOw, proceeded to tie
spot to remove the fence on the land Of ~
A. Armstrong. Here they were met by
some ten or fifteen farmers armed with old
hint-ock musket psto 5, rifles, sho'guns,
Iitchforks, hoe handles, or W hatcycr cOu ID

Trackmastcr Barstow made the first move
ment from the centre of the line Of the
attacking party, having been ordered ly
his commanding general, Supt. Barrow ,
to Oh, edge rail from the piece if it took
all summ.r. Mr.. Barstow laid violent
hands on the rail, but he did not remove it.
Instead he found El..,self standing on his
head in the ditch, whole squads of comets
dancing on his brai:. Nothing daun;ed,
he again rallied aud charged upon the
offending rail. This time he retreated II
as good order as double som. rsault, with
lusty farmers as impeliing powe. Wonid

attack, notwithstanding the emphatic order
IF his superior officer. Subsequently
warrants were sworn out for the offending
Changers, but the matter will probably
be peacefully arranged.

Anecdotes OF Noted Wits.

/ The following anecdotes, the wit in which
invariably passes the bounds Of politencss,
are quoted in "Anecdute Lives of Later
Wits and llum9rists," by John limbs:
While Lord Norbury was arguing a point
with Curran, and talking very loudly, an
ass brayed from the street adjoining the
( court house, to the constant Interruption
Of the Chief Justice. "What noise is
that?" exclaimed his lorlship. cob, my
Lord retorted Curran, at is merely the
echo Of the Court" "Curr2n," said :.
Judge to him, whose wig being . little
| awry, caused some laughter in court, " do
you see anything ridiculous in this wig: y
Nothing but the head, my lord was the
reply. Curran was sometimes paid in his
own com, as on one occasion, when he
pressed Golwin for his opiriOn Cfa speech
he had just delivered "Since you will
have my opinion" said Goodwin, folding
his arms and leaning back in his chair
viii, sang .Jroti, q 1 really never did hear
anything 50 bad as your prose, except your
poetry, my dear Curran" Douglas Jarroli's
wit was often cxcrted in this kind of way,
amusing enough to bystanders, but mightii,
unpleasant to the butt. Thus, a member of
, his club, hearing an air mentioned, ex
claimed, That always carries me away

HsoWn 10 Atoms.


The terrible effects Of the explosion of
SIX cans uitro-giycer:ue $50 pound-) near
Parker's ,nding, Pa, by which a young
man named Osborn was blown to atoms,
are thus described; Osborn started from
Emleton 10 Petroiia, where he was to fill
several orders. When ne reach Il Parker
II was too dark to proceed further with any
degree Of safety, and he was persuaded by
a relative 70 remain over night. lie was
called carly in the morning, ard obtaining
a horse and blackboard, started from Parker
ever the toughest road that was possible,
although it Is coniocturcd he went that way
to make time, rs it is the nearest route.
lie had crossed Bear creek and was over
hundred feet up the slope Of the hull when
the explosion occurred. Osborn body was
terribly mangleJ. The head aud body,
from above the hips, and portions of the
arms we're thrown over 300 feet from the
scene. Entrails, parts of clothing and de-
bris could be seen hanging in the tops Of
the trees though they were over 100 feet
high. The head and portions Of the. st0m-
ach we're found in Bear creek, over 100
feet distant. The right band was found
over half mile away, and in a radius of a
m lie numerous other portions were found,
but it would be uttely Impossible to dis
tinguish them from portions Of the hor Q,
whose body was scattered in all directions
by the terrific conclusion. The shoes were
tern from the horses feet, which may be
termed the most singular incident Of the
disaster The rear of the blackboard ard
parts Of the structure were found scattered
over hill and rayines, and could not be dis
tinsuishcd except by previous knowledge
Of what it was. The trees were stripped
ef foliage for rods around, many Of them
being barked. The excavation of the read
caused by the explosion was four to FIVE
feet deep, and most of it WAS from solid
