II. o..Is.s Csiil.,e..

several contradictory reports have been
circulated concerning the difficulty b.
tween the rival omnibus propristors- We
learn from . gentleman who saw the col
lision that Mr.. Putnam was not particu-
larry TO blame. and that the course taken
By the other driver made the coming 10
gsther almost inevitable. Mr.. Putnam
Vas coming up the hill. and was en- the
outside Of the road. To tho right OF him
Was a string Of quartz wagons. which pre-
ventsd him from turning out any moro
than he did. Tho damage done 70 the OPP
position bus has been greatly ovsrstated.
Tho wheels were barely grazed. and
not . spoke Was broken or started
from its place. The ''inIured" wagon
never Lost . trip In consequence Of the
COLLATION. and 10 running regularly every
day. Mr.. Putnam denies ever having
threatened TO run into OF do any damage
10 the opposition stage. He only asks for
. fair chance In business and everything
else. and be Is willing 70 accord the same
to all others. As TO being . bad reinsman.
both drivers are experienced Transfers,
and neither one will probably claim any
percentage In this respect. We are per-
suaded that the collision WAS entirely &C
cidental. and not intsntioaa upon tho
part Of either.

to assert that there a'e none equal to that dis
played by the anima. of the man whose body
was found at Quatta in tne e,ir,y part of last
week. The deceased's body WIS found by the
, boundry rider, Mr.. Jam s MILAN, across the
trunk Of fallen tree. He was attracted to
the spot by the pitiful yelping of the faithful
dog. For days, without food or water, the
poorbeast kept watch over the body, during
which il killed fourteen various reptiles, or
iguanas, whose carcases were since discovered

being devoured TIL re was no casting of lots
between master and 10, to see which should

animal laid down and died on the newly
made grave. The animal must have gone
fourteen days at least without food.-Syd-

Western Reporting.

Tho writer of the following, reporter on
the Mdland (Mich.) INDEPENDENT, should
not be allowed to waste his sweetness on the
desert air of the sterile West, but should re-
verse Horace Greeley's injunction and come
East. Hear him describe local fire:
"And now appeared one Of the most terri
bic and magnificent spectacles it was ever
our lot to witness. The whole broad and high
front Of the international Hotel was wrap
ped-as In its winding sheet-in one lurid
mass Of fame, which, seemingly as in mock
cry OF the puny powers of man and his ap-
pliances to stay its course, stopped toward
the earth in the eddy Of the wind with a
hurting sound as of demoniac laughter, and
then swerving and veering as If in dsdain
tossing its head, it arose towering almost to
the very clouds, and-ah, it needed no fer
vid Dantean imagination to discover within
the fringes of that gilt edged hell the glaring
eyeballs, yea, the very claws and bloody
hair Of the demon of the fames-with on;
fell swoop it hurled itself across the broad
street over upon and wound itself around,
fastened it's fearful clutches in, took poss-
ession Of and invested the whole im-rense
building known as the Harris Block.

Morbid Impulse.

One Of the most singular instances in
connection with material things exists in
the case Of a young man who not long
ago visited q large iron manufactory. He
stood opposite huge hammer, and watched
with great interest its perfectly regular
strokes. At first it was beating immense
Jumps of crimson metal into thin, black
sheets; but the supply becoming exhausted.
at last it only descended ON the polished
anvil. Still the young man gased intently
on its motion; then he followed its stroke
with corresponding motion Of his head !;
then his left arm moved to the same tune
and finally he deliberately placed his fist
upon the anvil. and in . second it was
smitten to jelly. The only explanation
he could afford was, that he felt an impulse
to do it, and that he knew he should be dis.
abled; that he saw all the consequences
in misty kind Of manner; but that he
still felt power within. above sense and
reason-a morbid impulse. in fact, to which
he succombed, and by which he lost good
right hand. This incident suggests many
things. besides proving the peculiar nature
and power Of morbid impulses; such things,
70, instance. al law Of sympathy on .
scale hitherto undreamt Of, a. well - .
musical tune pervading all things.-chan'.
