Gray is not satisfac tory to many Republicans, and after it was made a large number of them united in a request to Col. A. K. McClurc to run as a Re publican Reform candidate. This Col.

His injoymcut was of short duration, for present ly he was startled with a report as loud as that produced by a pistol shot For the moment he was starled, but recovering him self and looking around he discovered that his pipe was gone. On examination he found a hole in the rim of his hat, just over the loft eye near the head, fragments of the pipe scattered over the room, a pane of glass, in a window near where he stood, shattered, and a pistol ball lyiug on the widow sill How all this occurred it is hard to tell, though the supposition is that a pistol cart ridge had some how got mixed in the tobacco with which the pipe was filled, and was ex- poiUod ty the nre. it was certainly, a strange accident, and a very narrow escape from serious injury by friend McCarty Moral: see what you are smoking before you fire up the weed.

A captial joke, and all the more palat able because it is true and can be vouched for, took place a few Sundavs since at one of the prominent Fourth street churches. It seems that a worthy deacon had been vcryj industrious in selling a new church boook, costing seventy-five cents. At the service in question, the minister, just before dissmiss ing the congregation, rose and said. "All you who have children to baptize, will please present them nest babbath. ihe deacon who, by the way, was a little deaf, and hav ing an eye to selling the books, and suppos ing his pastor was referring to them, im mediately jumped up and shouted. "All you who haven't any, can get as many as you want by calling on me, at seventy-five cents cacn. The preacher looked cross-eyed at the brothers, the brothers looked at the clenryman, the audience punched the audi ence in the side, the bubble grew larger until it burst into a loud guffaw. There was no benediction that morning worth speaking of.

Abont 9J o clock, Mr. bwcen and Mr. Baylis, the two watchmen, enter ed to go on duty, Sween was gagged the moment he entered the front door, and Baylis, who went in first, was tied aud bhudfolded. A lady passing saw Sween seized, and gave the alarm. Several per eons rushed to the bank, but the burglars had escaped. The only money taken was what was left in the drawers. The bur glass had with them heavy timbers, two kegs of powder, and an immense number of tools of all kinds. Bayles, the watch man, was gasrged and tied in a chair, and a man stood before him with a pistol. The officers, on examining the bank, found that a number of private boxc3 had been rifled of United States bonds.

A Lion Tamer Torn to Pieces by his Per forming Beasts Eefore a Terrified Audience. The Manchester Guardian savs that a dreadful scene happened in Mandcrs' menagerie, Market aquare, Bolton, Thom as Maccartc being attacked and killed by lions as he was performing in their midst. It was the last evening of the ex hibition, and Maccarte undertook to give an extra performance. In the cage which he entered were five lions. The animals had been put through their leaping exer cises, when Maccarte noticed that one, a full growu Asiatic, was restive and show ed his teeth. He drew his sword and pointed it threateningly at the Turn's mouth. His attention being thus diverted from the other animals, a young African lion crept stealthily out from the group aud sprang toward Maccarte, seizing him by his right hip and throwing him dowu. At the same time the Asiatic lion fastened itself upon his head, tearing off a portion of his scalp. A scene of the wildest con fusion ensued women screaming, and men running about in all directions in search of weapous. It is usual in Man- ders' menagerie to keep a number of irons continually heated for emergencies, but on his occasion they had been removed, and fresh irons had to be placed in the nre. Maccarte fought desperately with his sword, inflicting some fearful gashes on the faces of both lions. One of the other lions now seized the unfortunate man by his only arm, fracturing the bones, while another tore a piece of flesh out of his .11. . i. inigu. iuaccane retained nis presence of mind, and called out to the men to fire among the animals. Revolvers and rifles were accordingly procurred, and while some fired blank cartridges full iu the faces of the infuriated beasts, others pro bed them with heated irons, stabbed them with forks and beat them with a ladder and iron scrapers. Eventually a slide was introduced between the bars of the cage, behind which Mr. Birchall, the agent, aud John Ryan, one of the keep crs, drove four of the lions. At the fifth lion more shots were fired, but it was not until the heated bars were applied to the nose of the animal that it relinquished its hold and ran behind the partition. .Maccarte then stairircred to his feet, but ere he could reach the door and before the slide could be closed, the African lion again rushed out, seized the poor fellow agaia by the foot and dragged him back into the corner among the oth er animals. Again the frightful struggle went on. Maccarte was dragged up and down the cage by the head and the legs three or four times, the floor being com pletely saturated with his blood. Some rifles loaded with shot were now dischar" ed among the savage brutes, and with several irons, now heated to a red glow, they were beaten into a comer and the partition closed against them. Maccarte was then released, still conscious As he was borne to the infirmary, he exclaimed to a fellow workman : "Hary, I am done for." In addition to the back part of the scalp, all the flesh had been torn from the thighs, the right arm wa fractured in two places, as well as badly lacerated from the shoulder to the hand ; the chest had been lacerated, and some of his bones had pieces bitten out of them. lie died in ten minutes after his admis SSOn t0iC illSrruary- Deceased was 33 Pears of ae sanative of Cork and I urns mnrr;iil Tl, Tu:i...lii,:. j - t . h Vn llev of this S I nt ft I h V rr, " twenty-eight furnaces, whose ajrirresatc annual product, as appears by a statement compnca lor tne .Uauck Chunk Coal Ua zelte, is oi8,000 tons.
