A man, Andrew Steadman, who buys cattle, who deals ill hides, and occasion ally makes a dollar by buying and selling produce, went out to Nankin township, a few days ago to buy a span of heavy horses which were wanted by a firm in j the city. Upon reaching the farmer’s I house be found that, the malt was work ing with a neighbor a mile away. To j save the distance he cut. across lots, but was wanted before lie started to look out ' for it savage bovine which had the run of Ia ten-acre field. Thinking how ho was ! going to g> t that spun of horses for fifty 1 dollars less than their value* Steadman | kept ploodding across the field, which : had a strip of bushes two or three rods wide running half wav across it. There wore a few stumps and logs, one : small tree, but nothing which prevented any one from crossing the strip. The J>oti<> : ter was about ton rods from the bushes, when he It ;ml ad si tit thunder j sound, and looked around to s-v from which way the shower v.a ton tirr. j About thiitv rods away ho Id -id th : old bovine coming' for him, head down, I back up and eyes blaring. Steadman was satisfied that he Was the man who ! wanted to be making the gravel fly, and lie wont for the bushes. He thought the hull would stop and run around the strip and was startled when the old fellow dashed through them on his trail, utter ing a deep ‘boom !’ every instant. Stead man dodged this way ami that,, but the bovine tort' along after him, smashing lmslies and leaping logs, and it was get ting to boa rod hot. affair, when the man spied the open end of a large hollow log. The bull v. its not overforty feet be hind, and into the log wont steadman. finding an orifice about twelve feet long, and largo enough to be roomy. 4 lie bo vine' had seen the movement, and stop ped at the log and ripped of hark a’ the first, dash. Then putting his horns under it he gave it a roll, and .Steadman spun around like a dried pea in a policeman’s whistle. The log was large, but old and tender, and every time the bull hauled back and jumped for it be covered himself with glory and clouds of bark and wood. oVunetin , s lie whirled our i nil, and then lie gave the center a heave, and then he knocked a foot off the other end. Stead man swote, shrieked and pleaded, his eyes full of bark and his mouth stopped up, mid every m-t of l’is life passed bc forehiiuliken, vision. ‘VV-o-o-ti ! wl.onpl’ ht Slowed the bovine as lie-slammed away at the log, and ( very moment hlc.dtmui ■ xperti dtoSlr Ihe rot f ■ • ' >■ lit on lorn.
