\ V. " '•:. ■' ■"■'*■; '• Je • moulds, instead JSf 'ihumb-prmls are recommended '■' by JDr" faul Prager, a Viennese -dentist^ for identification purposes.

A^ massive Shorthorn bull, purchased ;by. Mr Walker, Sellafield, to ■ send , to. Newcastle, attacked' a herdsman named . Davidson, and pinned him- against the side of. the pen. ■Fortunaitiely , the bull's horns entered the rails, .'itid the man, with assistance, -escaped ' with a, dislocated shoulder and severe - bruises. A sack was theri_ thrown, orer/thfi,; bull's head, but notwithstanding:* this, the trucking »f the inf uriated .animal - Was attended ivith great danger.'; ;T,wb ■ men ;'~ with .a. stick attached '$<>'•% Miosev r* v ? ■ w e r<J knocked down,'.but"'as -a further precaution a long : rope' had been - fastened Iq the noser rjiigi'a'pd^thiabeiug.'.wpnfld found a pillar the; bulF was ~grronaHy nauled into a truck.. ...'-.-.':" - When the {White^StOT.- liner Suevic went on the rocks fit tiie Lizard, insurances were placed ." on ? H'er against the risk of total r loss only, .(or- warranted free from all. average),- as f is- usual ju such cases. A' correspondent "to' "Fairplay" inquires .whether;" t£e>ivessel having been cut in two 1 by ; ;qxplosiyes, and about two-thirds'- of he& having; been towed to Southampton (the other third remaining on the' rocks) the underwriters will pay a" total 'loss oh the. special insurances referred to, \ii' w.hethi|r they - will decline toi pay on the "greiuria that '"■■. |*the ship is! -"an -arrival;" .'.{rhere : : does not appear to be much, donbt that this particDiar vessel will' be deemed .-to. be an arrival, for v about; ■threerfourths of . her length is saved/- and this -includes all her engines and boilers- -in working order, and also her costly: passenger accommodation', so that.it is. doubtless quite wortii while to iuild anevy bow to the ship. •" The. principle of settle- . ment for such polices a Y the 'ones now alluded to isithat if 'originsd- underwriters settle a ihtal loss,'. allVotherSi follow.
