A Iu..,e win a Cow.

On Tuesday morning officer Scott dis
covered two cows on West Sth streel, and
according to the luw. he deemed IL his
duty TO place them in tho pound. Accord.
ingly he drove them o the corner Of sixth
and Iatnall streets and one OF them de-
0llned to enter the gate OF that enclosure.
ue thereupon seized tho contrary beast
by the nora with one hund and by the tall
with the other, when serious tussle on
sued. For n timo it looked rather doubt
ful which would provo the victor, Tut by
a sudden lureh on tho part OF the COW,
the officer WAS flung some dc2en feet or
more, and had IL not been for the fence,
theie is no telling whore ho might have
landed. Suker, after this dinplay OF
strength, became m ore docile and suffered
herself 10 be driven Into the enclosure
The officer fortunately was not much hurt
and We suppo6e tho Two dollars provided
by law for taking up cows acted as a bnlm
to soothe his wounded dignity. 1hs next
timo he tackles a cor to lead hsr into the
pound, he will certainly be careful TO spit
on his handa.

Serious State of Affairs at Danes. an I'm.
portant Fruit Port.
Boston, Sept 1s.-The British steamer
TAFT, just In at this port from Cuba, Sept.
10, brings news of n serious state Of affairs
at Banes, the most important fruit port
on the northern coast. The Taft reports
that Banes has been evacuated by the
Spaniartls, after feeble resistance, that
the entire northern section of the island
is now in the hands OF the insurgents, and
Gibara itself, which is one of the strongest
and best fortified cities on the coast, is in
q perilous position, although the Spaniards
have between 1000 and 5000 soldiers at
this point and two men Of war in the
harbor
The officers OF the Taff say that the
whole country is up in arms and that every
body favors the rebels. Only boys Were
left In the port Of Banes to load and un-
load the vessels. The rest Of the male
population had joined the rebel ranks.
There was rumor at Banes and Gibara
when the Taft left those places, the Brazil
ian rebel Admiral Mello' was expected any
day with a war vessel and 500 men to aid
the insurgents, and ono of the officers OF
the Taft who saw Mollo lombard Rio say
that there is evidently some good ground
for the rumor, and he further says that
Mello can whip the Spanish gunboats with
even an ordinary man-of-war.
