The city of Durango, in Mexico, has a hill in its vicinity that is almost all iron. | It is two miles long, one mile wide, and 700 ft et high. On its .-iurface, uncovered and v isibb 1 , arc, according to estimate, two bundled millions of tons of iron | ready to be p'aoed in the smelting ovens I | that it is proposed to put up at the f ot i

the morning of Ihe 26;h near Dayton. It •cems that the local freight train, consisting of twenty loaded grain cars, when approaching a bridge east of Dayton came upon some cattle which ran off, but reappeared a moment later right in .'root of the engine. The . ilrat cow was killed and thrown off the track, but a bundru 1 yards further on another one was struck, and, the pil t failing to scoop her ! up, the body passed under the wheels. The eng ne broke from tbe tank and went down tbe bank, alightin' on its side. The tank was forced around ou tbe track by the pressure of the loaded cars. Owens, in attempting to get oil, was caught by the cars, and i

his head was literally mashed.

This is the latest effort of the snake liar: 1 Robert 8 pa ugh employed a man to open and work a stone quarry ou his farm near Hope, j Bartho’omew County. As soon as he had cleaned away the dirt he discovered a smooth, ! round hole in the soi ! d rock about six inches in diameter. As layer after layer of stone I was removed the ho o was still d-geernihie. When he had quarried out the rock to a ; depth of sixteen teet, he found the monster v.h eh had made and need this curious road. | It was an animal of the snake s;>ocies, four-:

It is said that an error or interpolation has been made in an amendment to Sec. 84 of the Tax law, allow ing express companies to deduct from ttieir gross receipts the amount of wages paid to employes and the amount paid for tiie purchase of tangible property, although it had been rejected by ihe Senate, as the journal and the Drapfer reports show. How it crept in is only explained by theories, hut the feet that the engrossed Senate amendment on file in the Librarian’s office has the interpolaiiou, and that it appears in the law as published, makes it the law, at least until the next Legislature assembles.

One of the results of carelessness on the part of tbe clorical force of the last Indiana Legislature will prove unprofitable to to the State.

When this bill was up in the Senate it led to a prolonged discussion, especially the section relating to the taxation of Express Companies.
