Fight With a Bull.

John F. Goldsborough is the posses
sor of three-year-old Alderney bull
that was obtained from the farm of the
late Col. McComb, of Wilmington,
when calf and has grown into u
splendid animal of about 900 tbs. Mr..
Goldsborough got up early on Sunday,
in the absence of others, to milk the
cows in the cool of the morning. He
walked into the pound carelessly
swinging the milk pail, which the
young bull evidently took for a chal-
lenge, and before Mr.. G.. was aware
that fight was on hand or even
thought of, especially on a hot Sun
day morning, he was off his pins"
rolling on the ground with two fierce
eyes glaring at him, pair of sharp
horns searching for tender spot to
rip up, the animal snOrting and roaring
like a very demon. The fight was ter
rible, and Mr.. G,'s escape can only be
attributed to the fact of his unusual
strength. A weak man could not have
thus escaped. AS the bull would make
dash at his PROSTATE figure he would
grab and twist horn, thus diverting
its direct force, but he was sorely
bruised in several places, and has car
ried a rainbow across his abdominal re-
gion ever since. The morning was
enough of itself to draw the perspira-
tiOn, but the sight of mad bull jump
ing around in such capers was worse
than that, and by the time the bull
had rolled him over and mOpped up
the dust for u distance of some twenty
feet he was begrimed from head to
foot like something that had been wal
lowing in the mire. He was nearing
the stable where he knew the bulls
superior strength would enable him to
bore a hole through him, and a desper-
ate tug at the horn and twist of the
neck drove the animal back with the
purpose of coming with stronger
lunge. Fortunately, as he came this
time he stumbled over apile of manure
and fell PROSTATE himself. This was
Mr.. Goldsborough's opportunity, the
only one he had had except to rise on
the points of an infuriated bulbs horns
and with an agility that would have
done credit to boy, he mounted the
fence and viewed his roaring antago
mist from the other side. Mr., c. il
noted as one of those smiling, good
natured fellows that never gets mad a
trifles, but he had never encountered
anything so seFions before as mat

Death from the Heat.

Asa result the hot weather last week
we have to record two untimely deaths
besides which there were doubtless
many others less seriously affected.
Samuel Hill, one of the young men
forming the company of immigrants
that came over from Ireland about the
1st of March under the auspices of Col.
Geo. w. Cummins, died early Sunday
morning from the effects of the heat
the day before. On Tuesday he left
the farm of Geo. Truax for what he
thought better position i'll the basket
factory at Clayton. His work was
about the steam box and he did not
use the appliances usually handled to
protect himself which together with
the excessive high temperature made
him very warm. In this condition he
drank largely of cold water-as much
as three pints at a time, it is said,
resulting on Saturday afternoon in
severe cramps and sickness. He start
ed for town with his brother but soon
became entirely unable to walk. A
team was finally procured and he was
conveyed to his fathers, Robt. Hill's
residence, in a tenantry at Wood
lawn" and DR.. Clifton summoned, but
three or four hours had elapsed from
the beginning of the attack and the
work of death set in. His friends feel
that if he had remained on the farm
at the work he was used to, with the
freedom of the air the fields afford, his
death needn't have occurred. He was
capable and industrious and saving his
money, it is said, with the view Of soon
sending for his affianced in Ireland tC
join him. The remains were inferred
in the Presbyterian cemetery yester
day.
On Sunday morning A. l.. Hudson
lost field laborer in the same way;
colored boy, Samuel, son of John Muir
ray, aged II years. He was engaged
at the work of putting away hay in ;
barrack and drank cOpiOusly of ic
water, which resulted in his death il
two days after.

THE outbreak of cholera in viru-
lent form at Damietta has caused a
general alarm in Europe. 1t is due,
no doubt, to the neglect of sanitary
precautions at Mecca, where the Turks
have been less vigilant since France
and England became less helpful to
them in their politics generally. The
English have much at stake, for
five British regiments are in camp a
few miles from the infected port.
Europe generally, and even America
has cause for alarm, as the cholera
nearly always comes Westward from
Alexandria, through Marseilles or some
other port on the North shore of the
Mediterranean. The rag trade is its
favorite vehicle, The deaths in Dam.
ietta number nearly 100 per day, and
the death rate is very large in several
other towns.

were there. The vehicles from the
surrounding country lined every fence
row besides filling the building prepar-
ed for them, and the visitors for the
day were estimated at 5000, the largest
number ever gathered there at any one
time.
The ride up the creek was really the
most enjoyable of the day. Seated on
the upper deck heading to a fresh
breeze, a carpet of deep green lining
our watery pathway for miles, while
the mellow twilight softly gathered
about the horizon, made it scene of
rare beauty.
1t was after nine o'clock when we
hauled up at Rothwell's Landing, all
giving expression to the enjoyment of

The excitement over the trade dol
lar is likely to prove only q little furry
that is generally predicted will be over
in few days and the coin pass as cur
rent as ever. The american, of Phila-
deiphia, in speaking of it says:
The unhappy trade dollar has be-
come the object of such general repro
batiOn that its disappearance from cir
culation is a matter of certainty.
Everywhere almost the sign IL exhib.
tied declaring that storekeepers will
keep their goods, rather than exchange
them for this unauthorized piece of sill
yer. A few houses that prefer to lose
the discount, rather than hold their
stocks in a falling market, continue to
accept them aad sEs doing more bust
meas than their rivals. We regard it as
most unfortunate that Congress should
have left the people exposed to a
movement Of this sort, which probably
originated with combination of spec
nlatOrs who aim to get control of these
coins in the belief that they will be re-
deemed. Bf0rtunately, it is much
easier to create an alarm of this kind
than to check it, and probably the most
of the holders of trade dollars will haye
sacrificed them to their fears before
any redress comes.
"OR simple grounds of right, the
national Government owes it to its
people to retire these coins from circu-
latiOn, taking them in exchange fol
legal-tepder dollars. 1t is true that the
trade dollar was coined ON private ac
count for use in China and SoutL
America, and its return to this coun
try was not expected, But the law ac
cepts the principle that whoever make
himself, with however innocent an in
tentiOn, q partner in a possible fFapl
ia this matter of issuing as none,
what is not Rsopey, is to be held re
spOnsible for his act, For this reason
the Government forbids under penal
ties the issue of advertisements in tn
form of limitations of bank OF TFeasgr
notes. But In just the same way it ha
been helping to put into cifcplatjo
what is so close an imitation of its oW
legal currency that the common PEI
ple have no means of distinguishing
from Other silver money. 1t did M
stamp upon the trade dollar a motto

with painful accident on Friday
evening that will confine him to his
home for a week or so. Mrs. E. Lower
and niece from near Brenford were
seated in a carriage, Mr.. III. having
hold of the bridle-rein, the horse be-
coming very restive. In making q
lunge, either from a wrench of his
shoulder or from being thrown against

THE wooLLEN REGION OF YORKSHIRE.
Parliamentary borough.

Estimating the present city and town population
OF England at 10, 100000 it will be seen that the
above places contain moro than One-fifteenth Of
the entire urban population; but If TO this should
be added the population of the other small towns
and villages and the rural population, the above
area would contain nearly all Of the l,S3OOO0 in

to-day, one of the busiest manufacturing spots on
the globe mills and factories having sprung up IN
every direction. The clear streams that formerly
meandered through the green valleys are now as
black as ink, and the never-ceasing smoke from
the tall chimneys has tinged the vordure and the
foliage with gloom. In early times this region was
considered wild, and / believe was put down In
Domesday Book as waste. IL was originally gwen
to the De Lacys and Earl Warren by William the
COnqueror, when he parceled out England to those
who came over" with him. Warren, who had
married the old Kings daughter, came in for good
share of the spoils and managed to retain 1t in his
family for nearly three centuries. Those old
WarIens were queer set One of them, John,
