AN AIifIISING Awn EgeiMire CRASS.—It was
about the middle of last May that a calf belongin g
to a Mr. Thomas, of Moreland, Philadelphia, es
caped from his farm and mend Its way Into an ad
joining collie, where it had an extensive range over
an area of 20 acres. This land, a few years since,
was covered with large trees, but about two-thirds
of it was cleared off, and has since been pernilttedto
grow up with tall grass, huckleberry and blackberry
bust&s, forming an almost impenetrable thicket.
The calf at the time of its escape, was about two
smooths old, and It has enjoyed the utmost freedom
of this range ever since, It has seldom been seen
during that time, and when approached it immedi
ately darted through the thicket almost with the ve
locity of a deer. It became so nimble on foot that it
distanced the swiftest runners, and all attempts to
capture it were unsuccessful. Two weeks since a
party of eleven spent an afternoon In the chase, and
although aided by a hound, whose yelling, aecompa•
Pied with the shouts of eleven excited men, remind
ed one of the fox hunts of olden times, they were un
able to secure the prize. It was now feared the ani
mal could-not be naught, and that it would become
as untamable as the Inhabita.nti of the wildest jun
gle, so its owner offered fire dollars to anyperson re
turning the said "wild calf" withlthe breath of life
In its nostrils. This Liberal reward had Its desired ef
fect, and fifty-seven as gallant and brave men as
ever chased a harmless calf responded to the call,
which was to result to the everlasting glory of
the immortal fitly-seven. The object in view being
a noble one, Sunday, the first day of Aligust, was
set apart for the attack, and early on that memo
rable clay every man was at his post, and as soon as
"Old Sol" bad dissipated the dews of the previous
evening, led by gallant and tearless caws, they at
once advanced to the edge of the rampart of huckle
berry bushes, where they halied. As some evinced
signs Of failing courage and were disposed to skulk,
the captain made a patriotic appeal to their brave
ry, assuring them or the harmlessness Of their com
mon foe, and that he would doubtless on the first
chargesietreat to the tuna of "come legs, come
along, calfy wants to go." All being ready the
Command of forward, charge I was given, and the
Valiant band passed on at a double quick over the
ramparts and into the very heart of the eamp:of the
enemy. As they went the whole country resounded
with their shouts, and ealfy, taken by surprise, rats
• ed both head and tall and plunged headlong through
the bushes, over and anon blowing his own trumpet
as if In defiance of all his pursuers. After two hours
or exciting chase the enemy wus at last made a prt-
Winer—John Stauger, Esq., being the lucky indivi
dual who first got hold of the caudal extremity of.
Mr. Calf, and who was consequently entitled to the
reward. Thus ended the chase.—Doytesteum

A linarr Itartr.—A :very -heary fall of rain
passed over a section of Bucks county on Wednes
day afternoon of last week. The greatest amount of
rain fell in Buoldngham and Solebury, the thickest
clouds passing , in a line from Oarversville toward
Lahaska and Centreville. For more than an hOur
the water poured down in perfect torrents. The
low places and beds of streams were flooded in a
few minutes, Persons with good memories for such
things say that It was the heaviest rain, while It
lasted, that they had seen for t wenty years. _ . Many
road bridges were washed away in the course of the
storm. At Carversvllle, the cellar of Paxson &
Pitman's stote was filled with water from the creek,
which soon became a sweeping torrent. A quantity
of molasses, coal oil, and other goods in the cellar
were lost. The eastern limit or the storm was soma
where about New Hope, and the western a mile or
two east of Doylestown. At Landisville there was
heavy rain, while at Danborough and Doylestown
but a slight sprinkle fell. The course of the storm
was southerly as It extended as far as the Bear, In
Northampton. At Newtown, Yardleyville, and
Attleborough, there was not much rain. Enough
water fell In the districts passed over by the storm
to soak the ground thoroughly, but it (lame down so
rapidly that much of It ran off. There is no doubt,
however, that the corn and potatoes got a good

A BIJOKS COUNTY ARTIST.—Some time ago we
published a paragraph statingthat Martin J. Heade,
the artist, had received the Brazilian order of honor
from th e Emperor of Brazil, In recognition of his
rare genius. The Doylestown Inteutyeneer copies the
pare ph , and claims him to be a native of Bucks
noun . It says: "Be Is a native of Solebury town
ship, ucks county, and was known as a boy by the
same of Johnson Heed. His father, Joseph Heed,
resides at Lumberville, and in that village 'Martin
J. Heade" spent his tuhood, and received his edu
cation at the old "E ight-Square" school•houtre,
Walsh stood a short distance above the present
Green-hill schoolhoute, near Lumberville. He was
a slender,
agile boy, and one of his specialties, if a
Man may have two, was his ability to dodge any ball,
though thrown by the most expert ballplayer; and
his ether was his talent for drawing and painting.
While he was but a small boy, Iris taste and talent
for painting were constantly exhibiting themselves ;
and at public school his birds, and especially
his domestic fowls, in water colors, were the admire,
tion and envy of his aohool-fellows. There was a
naturalness in all these sehool-boy efforts, in which
he was constantly exercising Ms uninstructed pencil,
whioh,none of his companions could approach. At
an early age he was placed under the instructions of
Edward Hicks, at Newtown, to be taught the art of
painting ; and afterwards under thedireotions of the
higher masters of the art, and the inspiration of his
native genius he pursued hie studies as an artist In
this country, in Italy, and other foreign lands until
he has achieved a world-wide reputation. Let Buokii
eountians remember, when they see his name high
among the artists of our country, that, although he
has changed the spelling of his name,.ae belongs to
an old family of the county, and is a native of our
DEPARTURS of TIM TWILIGHT.—The Twilight
and Grew left Pittsburg on Sunday last, en route to
Poughkeepsie, in order to hold themselves in readi
ness for the two grand boat races which are to come
often the 18th and 18th of this month. The men
were in fine condition and anxious for the contest.
Their determination is remarkable. as they aro go
ing all that distance to contend with two gallant
crews on their own waters, and that In two succes
sive courses with only one intervening day to refresh
themselves after the great exertions and fatigue
they will have to undergo In the first race. They
were accompanied by our champion of northern
Neaten, James Hammil, and his brother John, whose
training contributed so much to the recent victory of
the champion. This no doubt will encourage the
crew of the Twilight, and they will not fall to main
tain the boating fame of Pittsburg on for:plan waters.
The first match, which Is to oome off - on the lath,
will he between the Twilight and the Geo. J. Brown.
The Gee. J. Brown does not belong toPoughkeen
ale, • and, therefore, the contestants wilt stand on
grounds nearly equal. The match is for 811,00aa
aide, and will, no doubt be earnestly contested by
both parties. The second will be between the Twt-,
light and the Stranger of Poughkeepsie on the 18th
for $l,OOO a side, but each party will advance 3200
towards the payment of expenses of the Twilight.
The race is exciting a great deal of Interest, and is
attracting large multitudes of spectators from all
parts to witness the contest.
Am accident of a terrible nature occurred on the
Erie and Pittsburg Railroad on Thursday 'morning
lest. It seems that some of the peeple along the
line of the road are in the habit or building tences
scrota the track, to the serious annoyance of the
trait S. On arriving near the harbor bridge, one of
the ienees was diecovered, and, as usual, the train
had to be stopped to remove it. While the train
was standing, a man who had been working on the
road, and who was Intoxicated at the time,
got off. Before the train moved, he was on
the platform again, talking with some passen
gers. The train started, and was moving very
slowly, when the man stepped from one car to the
ether ' still talking. lie had stepped across with one
foot, but in bringing the other over, instead of
bringing it across to the platform of the other car,
he put it down between the two. Falling he was
struck by the bumper, and both his legs fell across
the track. Both his legs were taken off below the
knee, and it was geld that his head was considera
bly bruised. He was taken Into the baggage-car, to
be removed to -Sharon for medical treatment. Ha
was living when the train passed Pulaski, but It is
probable his life will be lost. True, - the one who
built the fence across the road did not murder the-
man, - but had he not done so the acoldent would not
have happened.—Newcastle Courant.
Anita TO JOII24BTOWN.—The , citizens of Johns
town being greatly exposed to rebel attack, should
be well armed to meet the danger, and accordingly
a large amount of arms and ammunition have been
forwarded to that place. By order of General Oonoh
900 hundred stand of arms have beon sent thence to
Somerset, so that the citizens of those places will
not be deficient in the necessary amount of arms
and ammunition to defend themselves with from
the invading foe.

A STessiriOAT SENT TO THE FAR Nowrn.—The
Detroit Tribune has a long account of a visit of the
wrecking steamer Magnet to Green Bay and the
northern shore of Lake Superior. She left Detroit
On Saturday evening, July 9th, when she steered
for the north shore of Lake Superior. She
passed into Neepigeon Bay, where no steamer had
ever visited before, ascending to a point alxivn.the
49th parallel of north latitude. She also ascended
Neepigeon river about ten miles, and the effect pia'

of that remote region recalls the times when a simi
lar "noise and confusion" from Fulton's first
steamer created such consternation among the hon
est Dutch along the Hudson river, transtbrtning them
into "Flying Dutchmen." The untutored savages
ran away In the utmost consternation, all save
one young Indian, who, It seemed, had "traveled
on his muscle," having become conversant with
steamers while on a visit to Fort William. He
finally explained the nature of the "monster" to his
brethren, and dnticed many of them to come on
board, where they manifested the moat intense de
light. The Islands In this remarkable Section rival
in picturesque beauty the famous "Thousand
Islands." The scenery is in fact, of the wildest and

brought into requisition most Of lhe time. Think of

Co P rr OP sp U oLnARnITtY o f O t P h e t N AX ewY L or A C . omm
ercal writes
from the City of Mexioo, July IS, as follows:
"It is not to be denied that Maximilian has been
received here with wild enthusiasm, and Ma by the
'native permanent population, and not at all under
the lead of the French. I have seen a good many
' welcomes' in my time, and know efulf well how
easy it is to get up a mere whirlwind of excitement
that means nothingmere than an effervescent sense
of relief from one trouble before another one comes.
But there is more than this In the feeling which
Maximilian has excited. It shows Itself in all class
es, the highest as well as the lowest_ ; and the de
meaner of the Emperor and his Empress dai
ly feeds It. The Empress is the moat charm-.
ing woman In the world, clever, brilliant, un
assuming, with all the graces of a princess
and all the virtues of a Christian woman. To see
such a vision in the 'Palace of the Nation' 18 like
a dream. Much, very muoh, of the emotion here
displayed in speeches, in the bearing of the pUblio,
in t h e talh.of private circles, is the honest, legltil
mate expression of this feeling : Here we have a
prince of the home of Hapsburg, the 'descendant of
sixty•three sovereigns; a man bo rn to command
and bred to honor ; a gentleman, a soldier, a prince
.of Christendom, lodged where so many vagabonds
and cut-threats and villains have so often one after
another, been installed as 'President.' The sense
of permanence in power for the first time creeps over
the public sense, long worn and made weak 'and
weary by the ceaseless alternations of faction with -
faction and party with 'party. An honest, hard-.
working monarclaximilian is. He rises at five
A. M., and makes all his personal anise to do as
much; attends to everything Isere/snotty himself;
.gives audience, 'reads and makes reports; walks
About entirelyslone, and inspects thingsgenerally."
DANGERS OP LUCIPER Mesons/B.—A German
writer for a New York paper, under the heading of
A Fearful Poison in the Household," gives the
'following Instances of death from getting the phos
;thorns from the ends of matches into the stomach:
A little girl between two and three years of s. age
accidentally swallowed the heads of several Wolfer
snatches. Two days afterwards the child got sick.
The only unusual condition observed was a slight
feverishness, without any marked symptoms, how
ever. The child neither suffered from ;pain,
retching, or purgation. Four hours after it was
particniaily noticed, it was suddenly thrown nab
convulsions, and died in five home . A postmortem

th e whole membrane was coated with phlegm.
Another woman poisoned herself by dissolving the
phosphorus off the ends of the matches in some wine
vinegar. She drank, the mixture and died, after
.she had suffered excruciatingly for eight days.
Bier symptoms were hydrophobia in character.
Another young woman; twenty-alx years of
age, swallowed a decoction of metopes in
wire.. In the course of an hour she received an
emetic and threw up a matter of the eonabstency of

A TOAD Dr DaCic FORTY FRET Batow
GnonsiD.—On the 19th a most interesting discovery
was made in Newton Quarry, near Elgin, by the
workman of Messrs. Humphrey & Rennie, builders,
Elgin, lessees of the works. The men, while en•
gaged in blasting a rook with no seam in it that
would have admitted the edge of a sixpenny piece,
were astonished to see, when they had blasted the
rock, a small bole,
and a toad creeping out of it.
The hole was not in a Seam, so as to countenance
the probability of the toad having got into it, but,
we repeat, in solid rook; and, as a proof of this,
we have the evidence Of our eyesight, for both
stone and toad are now in this office beside• us,
kindly sent, at our request, by Mr. Hum
phrey. The hole would hold a man's fist, and is
coated with clay or fuller's earth of a darkish color
or brown, not very different from that of the crea
ture th at, for unnumbered egos, had slumbered in it
forty feet below the level of the surrounding coun
try, and more than twenty feet below the surface of
the rock. it la a ouriOus fact that the cleavage that
exposed the toad laid bare four other holes exactly
on the same level, all about the same size as that in
which the toad had lain, and they were coated with
dark.colored clay, countenancing the probability
that each of these holes may haVe atone time con

Indies, fell in with and Cased a suspicious -looking
craft, which had all the appearance of a slaver..
During the pursuit the vessel chased threw some
thing overboard. She was subsequently captured,
and taken to Port Royal to be tried as a slaver. In
the absence of the ship's papers, and other proofs,
the slaver was not only in a fair way to escape con
demnation, bat her captain was anticipating the
recovery of damages against his captor for illegal
detention. While the subject was under discussion
a vessel came into port which had followed closely
the track .of the chase above described.. She bad
caught a Shark,.and in, its stomach was found a ten

charging coal at Cape Clear, and the went on
board by means of the plank forming a passage
from the quay to. the ship. Master Tom had not
been long off terra fir= when he caught a hugerat,
and, on examination, it was found to be minus a
leg, which was replaced by a wooden one, doubtless
by some of the men of a former crew of the vessel.
The leg was neatly attached by means of a silk
cord, and lest it should wear out during the time of I
the rat's natural life, it had on a little ferule, made I

CONGRATULATORY ORDER.
A force thrown by Major General Hanoook wows
the James river, In connection with the explosion
movement In front of Petersburg, encountered the
enemy, who, after a severe skirmish with the 99th
and 110th Pennsylvania Volunteers, under com
mand of Colonel Edwin R. Biles, was driven from
his position. Colonel Biles, though laboring under
the disadvantage of irritating wounds from previous
engagements, maintained his reputation as a brave
and efficient commander, meriting and receiving
the highest encomium from the Major General
oommanding, as will be seen by the following
order:
Hiii.DQUARSTIRR 2D ARMY : CORPS,
July 31, 1881.
GimastaL Oanart No. 26.—The major general
commanding desires to express to the troops his
gratification with their conduct during the late
movement across the James river. While all the
troops who kept their ranks (he regrets to say there
were many who did not) and sustained the ardour
marches are deserving of praise, the following on
g.anizations seem to merit particular mention : The
fah New Hampshire, 28th Massachusetts, 183 d
Pennsylvania, and 26th Michigan, under Colonel
Lynch, all from Gen. Miles' brigade, constituting
part of the skirmish line of Gen. Barlow's division,
for their gallantry in the capture of the enemy's
battery, on the morning of the 27th; and the skir
mish line of Gen. De Trobriand's brigade, General
MoWs division, particularly the 09th and 110th
Volunteers, for good conduct and
bravery in their severe action on the right of the
battery ; and the 2Oth_Michigan Volunteers, for gal.
lantry in the reeonnoiasn.nce of the 28th. The spirit
exhibited by the command shows that they are de.
termined to maintain the high reputation they have
heretofore acquired. The major general oommand
ing will not be unmindful of the services of indi
vidual omoers or soldiers, or organizations, and
will reward them to the extent of his power.
By order of Major General Hancock.

[Before Mr. Alderman Welding./
A STRANGER TAKEN IN.
A sharper, giving the. name of Samuel Lee, was
arraigned yesterday afternoon on the charge of de
frauding a countryman, named Sylvester Quinn,
out of the sum of sllf, under the following circum
stances: The complainant is.. an unsophisticated,
good-natured, credulous representative of the region
of " Nine Points,• in!Lanoaster county. Ile arrived
in town on Monday night, and yesterday morning
proceeded leisurely down Market street to "see
sights." While sauntering along the side-walk his
attention was attracted by the soundofa hand-organ,
that seemed to be laboring under a severe attack of
influenza. Paintings on flaming banners, represent- ,
Jug battle scenes, the triumph of the old Hag, big
snakes, Ste., Ste., were duly scanned by the wonder
struck scion of rusticity, and bifurcating a quarter
'he entered. He was'soon joined by a stranger, also
a -visitor, and the merits or demerits of the show
were'ereely commented on. Finally the two men,
who had thus entered into a Bort, of - temporary
sociality', started away and brought up at another
show of a similar chalneter to the Same neighbor-
hood.
After this, the two men entered an oyster cellar,
In the same square; and partook of refreshments at
the expense of the- Daitoc whom the countrymen fell
In company with af the first show.
It so happened that a man was In the cellar who
bad a singular contrivance which he called a bomb.
shell. He placed it on the bar, and offered to make
a bet that no man could open it ; but, if he did, he
would and a five-cent not tin
The attention of the two men was thus called, and
when their curiosity was somewhat excited, another
drink having been participated in, the stranger
found it convenient to absent himself for a few
minutes. During his absence the friend of the coun
tryman examined the little bombshell, and succeed
ed in opening•it. There was a five cent note in it,
whiolithe individual removed, and then closing the
shell replaced it on the bar.
"We'll have some fun with this fellow when he
comes back. Now you keep mum," said the man to
the countryman.
" Mum's the word," replied the eon of rural terri
tory, as his eyes glistened with prospective delight
and a chance to win something.
Presently the man returned, and reiterated his
desire to bet that "no man could open the little
shell but if he did he would find a fivercent note
in mil
The countryman paid all attention he had come
to town to see sights, and here was a l ine chance for
him to learn something that might become the sub
ject of a winter evening's story in or about or some
where near the romantic settlement of the "Nine
Points" in Lancaster county.
" What will you betl" chimed in the other man,
who bad already investigated the interior of the
mystic shell, and removed a five-cent note.
"Bet, why Pll bet you $25," :replied the shell
Owner.
"Hasn't got that much," responded the other
fellow; "I'll bet yon six.dollars.
" No slr'ee, never bet less than $25."
"Well, then, no bet, unless you go sta."
"Can't do it, then."
The. parties were about to sepalate, whereupon
the countryman lent his friend $l9, which, with the
$6, would make the required amount.
The money-was staked, and the bomb-shell was
examined carefully, and finally opened, but instead
of it being empty, it had in it a five-cent note.
Here was a scene to the countryman entirely un
sifted. The owner of the shell took possession
of wagered Money, and the son from the Nine
Po nts inlf.aticaeter looked nine ways for the Chris
tlan Sabbath.
Ills friendalalmed that he had not lost the bet, as
he had opened the shell.
The othermanaontended that he had. "My bet
was," said he, "twenty-five dollars that no man
could open'the shell, but if he did he would find a
live.cent note in it. Yon took. the bet taut you
could o_peti the shell, and if you did, you would not
find a five-cent note in it."
"Yes, that was the • bet," "That's the bet," re
sponded several, who up to this time were very dis
interested listeners.
The countryman, however, failed to see it, but
finally his friend yielded the point, and the, money
was lost.
The circumstances were detailed to a pollee
officer, who at once very well knew that Sylvester
Quinn of the' it Nine Points" of Lancaster, had
been victimized by a Couple of sharpers. The arrest
of one of the parties was made, and he Was bound
over in the sum of $5OO. When last seen he was in
company with an officer in search of the stake.
holder. There was some prospect of the country.'
man regaining possession of his money.
WILL LAGER BEER INTOXICATE?
This was a question seriously agitated a few years
since when the great Teutonic beverage was nut in
troduced to the public. Arguments pro et con were
urged,.. end the question still remained, theoretio
ally, a mooted one. The practical effects of a too
free indulgence in the beverage aforesaid were
strikingly manifested yesterday in the case of Thos.
Boyle, who was arraigned on the 'Charge of the lar
ceny-of a keg of lager. It seems that a wagon load
ed with kegs a the refreshing drink approached
Arch-street wharf. The ,-beer was destined for ship
ment. Thomas had. t his ar a it a oh the wagon, and
availitignlmseitof argemen opportunity, helped
himself to a keleand carried it sway. Upon ship
ping thwartiele, the stolen keg was missing. Search
was made around the wharves, and a short distance
up Delaware avenue Officer Stark discovered the
the defendant, Thomas, stowed away among some 6
packages of merchandise, hishead reclining on an
empty lager-beer keg; in the words of the driver,
who owns an unpronounceable German name,
"Me tints ha mit ids head 'on der empty keg of
lager peer." Thomas was beastly drunk ;. he was
oblivious to all terrestlal objects, and, as Officer
Stark said, "he must have had a healthy old Mac , '
The prisoner could not realize the feet that he was
before the magistrate; the bars and bolts and
creaking hinges of prison doors had no terror for
him. He had revelled in a quiet way in the enjoy
ment of ae whole keg of lager, and thus we leave
him. He was placedin the prison van last evening
and taken down.
