BULL ATTACKS FARMER. Escaped Farther Injury by Jumping = Fence and Hurling =» Hatchet at AngryjBrute’s Head, Charles C. Burrell, a farmer of La- mar township, Clinton county, was attacked by an Alderpey bull at his own farm home, which, in its fury, came near putting an end to him, The bull made a mad rush at him, knock- ing him to the ground, and while it failed to thrust it’s horns into his body, yet with its head and horns, the mad bull succeeded in bruising Mr, Barrell’s body and lower limbs very painfully, before he was able to get to his feet. As soon as he arose he rush- ed to a near by fence and sprang over it which no doubt was all that saved the farmer from a second attack. As the bull rushed at him again and be ing headed off by the fence it gave Mr, Burrell an opportunity to throw a hatchet, which he still grasped in his hard, the blade of which struck the monster brute fair in the head, which caused him to turn and leave. It was a narrow esape for Mr. Burrell and that he was not more seriously injured was next to a miracle. a —— a ————————— Superintendents Elected.

He Is an Alert and Elusive Unpile- tured Beauty. Whoever has had the privilege of Iylng at full length on some overhanging bank while watching a large trout in his lair perceives that a true figure has yet to be drawn of him. Even photography can give no hint of the wavy circles from the spotted dorsal fim undulating loosely athwart the broad back, of the perpet. ual fanning of the pectoral fins, of the capacious gills opening and closing, the half open round mouth, the luminous brown eye, the ceaseless slow vibra. tion of the powerful tall, nor can pen adequately describe the startling sud- denness of the dart at some idle fly touching the surface, the quick return to the old position and the resumption of the poise with head elevated st a slight angle, pectorals all tremulous and floating watery circles eo from every slight motion of the body. It is also worth while to watch a trout rush four feet up a perpendicular fall of water, pause, tremble violently all over and In a moment throw himself clear of the stream and fall into the basin above at an elevation of about three feet more.—Arthur P.

Among the Hottentots (Hottentoten In German) the kangaroos (Beutelratte) are found in great numbers. Many of them wander over the country free and unmolested; others, less fortunate, are taken by hunters and put into cages (Kotter) provided with covers {Lattengitter) to keep out the rain. These cages are called in German Lat- tengitterwetterkotter, and the kanga- roo after his imprisonment takes the name of Lattengitterwetterkotterbeu- teiratte. One day an assassin (Atten- tater) was arrested who had killed a Hottentot woman, Hottentotmutter, the mother of two stupid and stutter- ing children in Straettertrottel. This woman in the German language is en- titled Hottentotenstraettertrotfelmut- ter, and her assassin takes the name Hottentotenstraettermuttertaeter.
