Fatally Gered by Ferecious Steer.

A frightful accident occurred at Bird
in-Hand, yesterday afternoon at 4
o'clock. Messrs. Frederick Dinkle-
berg and George II. Darmstetter,
butchers of this city, went to the ssBird''
for the purpose Of purchasing cattle
from Mr.. Martin Herr, q farmer Of
about forty years Of age. They select
ed three steers, one Of them being wild
and ferocious. Two were successfully
removed from the stable, and the third
(the ferocious one) was being released
by Mr.. Herr, when the gentlemen named
above, who were in the barnyard,
heard the man scream and ran into the
stable where they were met by scene
that at first completely paralyzed them.
The steer had completely impaled Mr..
Herr, running one Of its horns into his
left side, and, tossing him up, was in
the act Of butting him against the feed
trough when Messrs. Darmstetter and
Dinkleberg recovered from their shock
and ran to the rescue. They succeeded
in releasing Mr.. Herr, whose left side
was terribly lacerated for space Of at
least twelve inches; one rib protruding
from the horrible wound. He was taken
into the house, where Drs. Musser and
Millerwere summoned and attended his
terrible injuries. It is impossible, at
this writing, to predict the result Of the
unfortunate mans injuries. Lancaster

not good. 1 and the other gentlemen
will waitun you have tasted the pie. y
The Spaniard had turned very pale.
Thick drops of perspiration gathered
on his forehead, and he began to trem-
BILE violently. The oth0 guests looked
in surprise at the King and Don Es-
teban.
"What!" asked the King, in tone
of surprise, 'syou refuse the dish
which a king offers youP Svenson, -
he said, turning to one of the officers
behind him, stake this man from
Spain into the courtyard and hang him
up by the neck until he is dead"
A bombshell falling into their midst
could not have produced more intense
excitement than these words.
The Spaniard frantically begged for
mercy; but the King was inexorable,
and the prisoner was taken out to meet
his doom.
Then Gustavus Adolphus caused
some of the pie to be given to dog.
The latter Immediately showed symp-
toms of poisoning, and died in less than
fifteen minutes.
The King now told them what the
Spaniard had done, but without men,
tioning the names of Rosanna and her
father.
The Burgomaster was so enraged at
the occurrence that he had his cook, q
rather stupid fellow, arrested; but there
was no proof against him, and he had
to be released.

The San Francisco Call says: The
steamer at Hong Kong lies at anchor in
the bay, after she has received her cargo.
The regular Chinese coolie passengers
are given to understand that on day
named she will sail, and that they must
be ready to 60 on board at an early hour
in the morning. At about three o'clock
a. m. the embarkation begins, the COO
lies being brought out from the shore in
lighters, which usually carry from 400 to
600 persons. When the lighters come
alongside, gangway is made, and
along this the coolies pass in single file,
each having in his hand ticket with
which he has been provided, which he
exhibits. As soon as all are on board
the anchor is weighed and the ship
steams out of the harber.
But before all this, which is regular,
has occurred, and under the cover of
the darkness of night, small boats, or
/" sampans," as they are called in Cuba,
move steadily off from the shore, each
containing from five to ten Chinese
women of the lowest order. These
women do not pass aboard the ship
by any gang plank, but they
are put through a port, which has
been left conveniently open for this pur-
pose. They are received on board by
some officer Of the ship, who has pro-
vided q secret hiding place for them !;
and before the gray twilight Of morn
ing appears, every thing about the ship
has a remarkably regular appearance.
just before the ship reaches Yokohama,
on her way to San Francisco, all the
Chinese passengers except the women,
are mustered on the main deck, and are
made to pass through the narrow gang
way, only wide enough for one to pass
at time. Their passage tickets are
taken up and another ticket furnished
each one, to show that he will be all
right when disembarked at San Fran
cisco. While this inspection is in pro-
gress upon the main deck, two of the
ships officers go into the steerage to
ascertain if there are any stowaways
on board. IF any are found they are
put ashore at Yokohama; but no in
stance has ever been known where fe-
male stowaway was put ashore, except
after the arrival of the steamer in San
Francisco.
After the ship has arrived in this port,
opportunities are given to the owners OF
these women to smuggle them ashore.
This is done by the connivaace of some
officer of the ship, and possibly of some
subordinate Custom-house officer.

GREAT KINGS PERIL.


For upwards of ten years the terrible
Thirty Years. War had been raging in
Germany. The fairest provinces of the
Fatherland had been laid waste. Hun
dreds Of thousands of poor people had
miserably persisted, and dismay and
despair reigned throughout the land,
until At length the great and good Gus
tavus Adolphus, who excelled equally
q q captain and statesman, was in
duced, principally BY the advice of his
astuts Chancellor, the celebrated Oxen
stern, to take his whole army and en-
ter upon life and death struggle with
the Imperialists.
It is impossible to describe the
boundless enthusiasm which the arrival
Of Gustavus Adolphus, with his splen-
did army, at Stralsund, the great for
treas Of Pomerania, excited in Ger
many. There was an instantaneous and
truly marvellous revulsion of feeling
among the people. Despair gave way
% the most fervid hopefulness. The
balief that the accession of the Swedish
King to the Reformed cause was equiv
alent to the utter and final discontinue
1t the Imperialists was widely prevail
ent even in the ranks of the latter. And
yst, but for avery singular concatena-
ton Of romantic circumstances, the
brilliant career of the Swedish King,
who 1ell afterward 80 gloriously on the
bloody field Of Lutzen, came near being
ended at the aforementioned Pomera-
nian fortress of Stralsund.
The life of Gustavus Adolphus
abounded in romantic incidents, but the
ssfangest of these episodes was, per-
haps, the one which we are now going
to relate to our readers.
We should premise, however, that
Gustavus Adolphus, as he appears in
history, is not the man he was in pri-
vate lite. Especially in his earlier years,
e snbjected himself frequently to the
reproach that he was too fond Of the
har sex. He was even, and, there is
reason to believe, not unjustly charged
wlth having overcome, in moments Of
irresistible passion, the scruples of
women, OF whom he was enamored, by
promises Of marriage, which he after
Warq broke as easily as he had rashly
made them. These blots in his earlier
years, however, were obliterated by his
nser career, which stands unrivaled in
he annals Of the royalty of the seven
seenth century, and which excited the
summation OF has bitter adversaries.
NMAa late in the evening of the day
g which Gustavus Adolphus had land
= Mltn his army at Stralsund that he
ana his Chancellor, Oxenstiern, were
conyersing in one of the small rooms at
0e house Of DR.. Brauns, the Burgo-
master OF the city, where the King had
es.aollshed his headquarters.
NY good Oxenstiern, - said the King
g nis Chancellor, ssthis has been q great
aay for US. Ishall always look upon
y. g one OF the most memorable in nv
iour Majesty, the extraordinary re-
Mpuon with which you have met here
.seas to me an auspicious augury of the
access Of the momentous mission that

oxen were roasted on the market-place
for the poor people, and the troops
were treated to extra luxuries on ac-
count of the Kings arrival. At 10
o'clock the King held a gala reception
at the City Hall, where the royal BAN
quet was to come off. Among the dis
tinguished persons that were presented
TO his Majesty by the Chancellor Ok
enstiern was Don Esteban de Cevallos.
Gustavus Adolphus received him in
the most gracious manner, indeed with
such extraordinary cordially that the
Spaniard was perfectly delighted. The
King seemed deeply interested in what
Don Esteban had to tell him, and when
the time for the beginning Of the ban
quet arrived, he invited the Spaniard to
take q seat near him at the table. Don
Esteban did SO with true Castillian po-
iteness.
The feast opened with o bumper drank
in honor Of his Majesty.
The King was then asked, in accord
ance with the etiquette Of the times,
what dish he would command first.
The various courses were enumerated
to him.
"Ah!" he suddenly exclaimed, ssyou
have partridge pie. That is my favor
ite dish. Give me q large plateful of
it, and give one also to my friend Don
Esteban de Cevallos yonder. Don
Esteban, partridge pie is no Castillian
dish, but I warrant you you will like it.
There, taste it, and then tell me If it is
