PATE DE FOIE CHEVAL,


That's What Allied the Belle of Gettysburg.
A post nortem examination was made OF the
remains Of the celebrated trottiag mare Belle of
surgeon, yesterday, at the Seventeenth-street
wharf, in the presence OF many men interested in
equine stock, among whom we noticed DR.. Riley,
her late owner, John T. Price, Robert Teel, Cap
tain Hay, Harry Middleton, ODE Sanderson, Chas.
H. Earl, Mr.. Pelser, Of Goshen, N. Y; Mr.Chase,
OF Boston Orlando Emerson and Jas. W. Hahn
The autopsy showed that the cause Of death
was rupture Of the insensible portion of the
stomach near the esophagus, or entrance to the
stomach, and the pylOrus, or sensible portion Of
the stomach, was dissolved by gastric secretion.
This has been known to occur after death, and
liver was found TO be in peculiar state, and one
different from any that had come under the sur
geon's observation, the right lobe Weighing about
hfteen pounds, and the lett strophied or watered
away, and would not weigh more than one pound
which were the principal causes OF death. In the
unusual size Of the right lobe the secretion Of
bile would sometimes be deficient, and at others
very great, which, having to pass through the
first of the small intestines from the stomach,
would, consequently, from time to time, retard or
increase the process Of digestion and nutrition.
Gas is frequently evolved in the stomach and
intestines during digestion, which is owing to
disturbed or morbid condition Of that process;
but BY no means necessary attendant upon
ately subsequent to feeding tends to retard q
formation Of liquid. The circumstances most
favorable te perfect digestion is ashort period OF
rest, and gentle exercise. DR.. Clever has fire.
quently expressed the opinion to different arties
that the mare would drop dead In harness some
day from tumor or enlarged liver. While not
dying in the manner predicted, yet the cause OF
death was tie same as he prophesied.

mediately brought to a standstill The 5:45 train
from Washington to Hagerstown, was following
close behind the Winchester accommodation, and
before 1t could be stopped eollided with the rear
portion Of the latter train. The shock was a
severe one, and had the effect Of demolishing the
smokestack Of the locomotive Of the HagerstoWn
train and otherwise damaging It. The bumpers
Of q number Of the cars Of each train were also
broken. Both trains were we'll filled with pas
senRers some Of whom were badly scared by the
jar produced by the collision but none were hurt.
The train hands also escaped injury. The aect-
dent caused q delay OF from one and half to two
hours, when the distractions we're removed, and
