The spec ul term of court was to have been held on the first Monday in Sep- t mb-r. but the date did not suit the solicitor, as it would not give him time to prepare his cases. Thereupon it was decided to hold the term the third Mon day in September, and now the lawyer who was named for special judge can not serve. This will again embarrass the situati m.

No one was badly hurt though there were a number of passengers, for the ears had almost stopped when they came together. The forward platform on No. 11, one of the small closed cars. 1 was crushed in and the coupling rod and other unimportant fixtures on the I heavy summer ear were also twisted. ! The smaller car had to be taken off (he ! run and sent to the shops for repairs, j but No. 5 was allowed to do duty until ; work stopped last night. Supt.

In the pitched battles which some times take place between the great carnivora and the largest and most powerful of the ox tribe the forces of animal courage, desperation and bodily strength must be exhibited on a scale never elsewhere seen, says a writer in Leslie’s Weekly’. Such combats do oc cur, but have seldom been witnessed and still less frequently described. Two or three lions sometimes combine la such an attack, but from the marks scon on buft'Hf® U.—Ui.—praluLhle that sometimes there is a single combat, foi* it can hardly be supposed that the buf falo could escape from more than one lion. The number of foot pounds of energy put Into such a struggle must be some thing extraordinary. The efforts of a lion, which can strike a man’s arm from tiie shoulder and leave it hang ing by a strip of skin or which can carry a cow over a high stockade, en deavoring unsuccessfully in close grips to drag down or disable a buffalo bull, must be on a gigantic scale, and the strength which can shake him off and, It is believed, occasionally crush the lion afterward must be even more amazing. A buffalo bull has been cred ited with engaging tlnoo lions in mor- | tal combat and making a good fight ; before be was disabled by one of the ; Hons hamstringing him by biting his legs from behind. »nc -'W* In Writer*' Beginning with William Shakespeait.
