Baffle Between Bulls. LauCojter. Ky.. At Thou. S. Moore, a well known farmer of Garrett county, tolls a graphic sto v of a despetiuo er.or umcr that took place on the crest of a knob of bio net bterboofl several days ajro bo tween a couple -ofer.rßged bolls, in which both were killed. The animals kail wandered to the heights, and up on s : ga ing each other at once engaged in a duel to the death, i hose unac qnainted with the instincts of such creatines can not easily imagine what extreme ferocity they sometimes din plsy. In sjeakii g of the incident Mr. Moore said: “Being intonated in the study of geology, I hap]* ned to lie on the knob at the time, amt wan startled about 4 o’clock in the afternoon by a fearfnl hello wing. Looking some distance ahead, 1 saw the animals advancing toward each otlor with noses on the ground, turning this way and that cast ing dust into the air with their foreleot. When only a few yards apart they sud denlv leaped to the attack with a frightful noise and bceau logoi e each other with hostile energy. Above the fierce and noisy trampling could bo heard the grim ing of their interlocked horns and the violent snorting of bru tal rage. The breeze blew aside the dust, and revealed the tigerish eharac ter of the onset, as with wideset litnbs and tails curling in the air, they ebarg ed again, stal b-r.g with their pointed horns. Tiuy streams of blood shot down their necks and sides, while their distended nostrils amitted a red dish foam. Tee prodigious strength of the nisgaificc nt animals thus brought into activity afforded a spectacle both tumultuous ana thrilling. The exer tion of the encounter added to the pain of each newly inflicted wound infl itu ed their combative spirit to the pitch of tempestuous fury. One of the bulls following up a temporary advantage, plunged his horns into the chest of his antagonist, and, with a quick up- ward jnrk of tho bead, tipped open the >flerh several inches, while from tbin gapii.g wound jots of arterial blood be gan to spurt. In a towering passion, and with gleaming eyeballs, charging larionsly upon bis adversary, the wounded bull drove his horns into its abdomen, making a boriib'e opening tbrougi which the outraila gushed. The impetous and stormy nature oi the contest had carried the combat ant* to the verge of the cliff, but blind with deadly fury they saw uo danger. Eich mortally wounded and weaken* isg tnoiuentaiily from loss of blood waged the battle with that fiendish desperation shown only in wounded animals. It was evident, however, thar a crisis was near at hand. The situation had lesoWed itself into the grim fCtdisii.n of the death-struggle. Wi h lowered beads they backed away a few yaids, eager, defiant, implacable and again collided with a force that 'roomed to split their very skulls.

The hotly exeeut .l • mereattit in mid-air, fell with a noisly crash throngh the tree-top? op ; on the rocks below, where it was sub sequently preyed upon by vulture.

The battle lasted nearly an hour, and in point ot san guinary details and tragic horror has no parallel within the limits of my re. collection. ’’ The Garden Portugal. Traveling through the Miaho ProT incc, this gardon of Portugal, made so by man’s incessant loving labor, no onocan fail to notico how the land is most unscientifically ill tilled and ev ery mistake ami shortcoming apparent that a modern enlightened farmer would smile at—the “unimproved” plough, made of a crooked tree branch, the “unimproved” cows, that give but a fifth of the milk of a Gloucester or an Alderney, the grass blades slowly and painfully reaped by a toy reaping hook and carried long distances on the heads of men and women. It is all too utterly stupid an old world, and yet everyone is thriving and content. The little houses are snug and warm, the cattle sleek under their master’s kindly eyes, the tiny granaries full to overflowing, the men on Sundays and feast days well dressed, well-fed and light hearted, the women comely and gay in their colored bodices and bright silk kerchiefs, and their necks covered with a sensible weight of old fashion ed gold jewelry. The valleys are ring ing with the joyous an'iph rns of youths and girl-, that speak as plainly ot their contentment with life and their hopefulness, as the spiing song of the birds tell of theirs. did He Resist Arresl? A Maine sheriff who was rather un dersized, was given a writ of arrest against an Aroostook farmer. Having found the owner of the farm in the field he explained his business, when he was requested to read his writ, which commenced as usual: “You are here by commanded without delay to take the body of,” etc. “Ail right,” says the prisoner, stretching himself back on the grass, “I’m ready.” “Oh, but you don’t expect me to carry you?” ‘ Certainly, you must take my bodv, you know;’’ “Will you wait until 1 brirg a team?” “Can’t promise. I may recover from my fatigue by that time.” AVell, what must I do?” “You must do your -duty.” And there he lay. The sheriff leveled his pistol on him and said he would do his duty. The prisoner went with him. Did he resist arrest. A West Morris (N. Y.) boy was ar rested recently for shooting an eagle contrary to the law. Ho was in a fair way to ba fined or imprisoned, when a commission composed of a clergyman, a justice of tho peace and an editor sat on tho dead body of the bird and de clared it to baa fish hawft.

Jennie Gibson, a haudsome girl, of seventeen, living with her parents at Arkwright, N.

The parents noticed that af ter the lamp was lighted 6he gaveevi deuce of eeeing, and gradually this power of sight grew npon bor until the little one played with her dolls and toyß with artificial light as easily as other children by daylight. The old Bear Ran. Last Tuesday rooming Warren Schell of Somerville, noticed that the grass in one of his fields, about a qnar ter of a railo from the house looked as if some animal had been eating it and suspected that sheep had got in, but on looking around he saw traces ot bears, the presence of which on his farm he had not suspected. About 5 oVlock in the evening he returned to the spot arm*d with his Winchesier repeater, and upon cansfiously apptoaching, found a whole family of bears in the field. The two old ones were quietly grazing; the cubs, which were about two months old, were playing around their mother. As Mr. Schell crept nearer, he saw that the she bear was watching him, although sho kept eating, and he thought it best to settle her first, as being likely to prove more dangerous than her mate. He accordingly whistl ed, which caused her to raise her head and he planted a bullet in her hi east, at which she roshed furiously toward him. Firing a second time, he again struck her in the bieast, killing her. He then planted a bullet in each of the cubs, killing them. state of Georgia, Banks County: Whereas C. F.
