RICHMOND, Va, December 3.-The two

publican side.
The Governors message will not be pre-.
scented until 10 morrow.
It is ssid that the Daniel men will make
nn effort in caucus to morrow night to OBJ.
tain q vote on the Senatorial question. The
Barbour men do not express any detcrmi-
nation Of opposing tho vote and regard the
move in this direction by the Daniel men as
game Of bluff, 1t is pretty certain that
members who have not announced them
selves either in favor Of Daniel or Barbour,
are holding the balance CT power.
Speaker Stuart has not yet announced

EFFECTS OF A GRUNT-La3t Sunday af-
ternoon, Mcssrs. w. J. Harrison and r. 3.

intention Of spending tho night with their
friend, Mr.. Henry Fairfax, at Oak Hill. All
went well, until they were descending hill
this side of Mountain Gap, when vulgsr
sow aroused from her slumber in q neigh
boring fence corner, suddenly rushed across
the road with o grunt such as only hog
can make. The horse attached to the buggy
took fright and rushed for the fence on the
opposite side Of the road. With u fearful
leap he demolished several of the top rails
aud then whisked the buggy over the re-
naming ones, breaking off the top of the We
hicle and promscuously dropping out the
now thoroughly frightened occupants
which exploit satisfactorily accomplished,
he quietly trotted across the field to a friend
ly gate, where he was captured. Strange TO
say neither gentleman was seriously injur-
ed,-hIr. Harrison not at all, and Mr..
Wildman only to the extent Of several
bruises, and desperate shaking up of the
entire system, from all Of which be duly re-
covered, and is once more himself again.
With the exception of the broken top Of the
buggy, no damages were sustained, not even
TO the breaking of o strap. The two uufor.

A recent traveller in Spain tells how the
children in Granada played at bull fighting.
One boy, holding pair of wooden horns on
his head represented the bull. Other boys,
mounted on each others backs, were plea
doris, while others again, with their Jackets
in their hands, were supposed to be mata-
doris and chulos. The bull would stamp his
feet and roar, then make rush at one of
the chulos, whose jacket was thrown up by
the wooden horns, but whose body was
never touched. Then the bull would charge
one of the picadors, whereupon the boy
playing horse would throw himself to the
ground, and allow himself to be properly
gored.s
