And us yet they were concealed, each from the other, by the anient ofthe bridge at either end. Pre-ently nr. they simultAneousIy ns rended tho rerpec'.ivL' ubutmeiits-, they came in fail sight ot each other. The roirs wa unit mil and actually tremendous. Every urchin of us 'prang into tho ti-dds and ran. Finding, however, that wo were not juir-'j -d, e hastily retraced our steps. There tiie were, the ferocious duelists, i',u. iv as sen.-ibly employed as some ol tliefr im nan mii'ntors. Front to front, their horn, locked, every muscle strained, ;:ie were fighting us on ly'tmils trim fight. It s etii.-d to h- an even match. Now one would juv.-s iiis antagonist u few juices, and pre '.-ii 1 v you would hear cpiick, s!i:n j, short sieps, and presently his adversary would be pressed back ill return. The struggling was hard, was long, was sav age. For a while neither obtained un ad vantage. Hitherto they bud been pushing each other lengthwise ofthe bridge; suddenly they beeau to wheel, and in a moment were facing each other crosswise. They were ut li;:iit angles with tlu length of the L.'itge, which shook, and creaked, and rocked again with their tramjiiue und th"ir teiiible strife. It was the worn of a s.tiple moment; one of the beasts I co. iid not toll which one of them, how ever, .is if conciotts of his position, made a violent, n desperate jdungo forward and jh'e-.ved Lisun'agonist back buck back till there Wis but another stepol the ihink behind him between him and nothing! The moment was one of intense interest to us juvenile spectators. Never was the amjihitheatre of Rome the scene of it more e truing combat. Another steji back wark yes, the unfortunate bull was for ced to lake it ! Back he is pressed, and over he goes ! Such a sight I never saw I probably shall never see again. Imagine a bull jiitched hacked ovei a bridge und tailing at lca-t tin. ty feet, olc" and over! lie tut ned once or twice, ju-obably, I thought he turned fifty times, there seemed such a confusion ol horns und feet re olving, li, :ng through tho uir. Rat down he wjiit ; the w.der was deeji, and he disaji ' pe.ired, leaviiig u "'hirlpool of foam 1 o i hind him, 1 1 I m ihing the river undula.e, ; fir and wile with the concussion of his jioiiJi roils bulk. i I'hc u:!:er buil did not laugh merely . be iu-e bill' . as 1 supjiosed, could not. Rut v.e iaugiied and shouted our ajipiaute. 't l. ere .stood the victor, looking directly j down into the abyss below, into which he ' had hui ried his unlucky foe. He stood, I howevei , b ii a moment, and then, an if , frightened at the jiro.sjieel, he began to snort and step backwards. Hack, back, he retreated, w ith his head in the same 1 pugnacious attitude, as when in combat I back still another stejj back and over I he, too, went, on the ojijiosile side of tho ! bridge, performing just so manv ludricious .somersets) as his adversary nad do:i.j r mmule before. It was a scene to remember; and the performance called forth immense ap jilause from the grouji of juvenile ama teurs who witnessed it. In about live minutes both bulls might be seen, well sobered by their ducking, dripping wet, scratching up the steej), gravelly banks, each on his own side ofthe river. "Those bulls will never light uny more," said a boy behind inc. His jireditiou turned out correct: two more jieaceably disjiosed bulls than they were, nver afterwards, could not have been found. A Rkal Wake. An Irihrnan i.i Cincin. natti died, apjinrontly, a short time since, was laid out, coilined, and a buriai certifi cate obtained, and the friends of tho fami ly were called upon to "wake" him. Tlie whiskey, tobacco nnn e.i'ablos were dis cussed loudiy and continually. At about three o'clock in the morning, however, when tho cry of lamentation wa at tts height, the supposed corpse rose tijirigt in the coffin and demanded "what the divil are ye all about?" The company flod in affright, when he deliberately got out of tho coffin In a very thin costume, took a drink, and profane! d,uwi---'l-v- hit put?. TERMS -$125 per Annum. IJII.S-VOL. in. o .jo. Another Great Event of the Ape. A pt nious out West, jv tho namo Ot Hun low Woi d Brown, is dividing tho hon ors of u grateful country with Cyrua W. Field and Mr. Ecvertt." He writes thus in regard to ihe successful banging of a Kate, the effect of which on society in gen eral, w ill he slates be vastly more benefi cial than till the Atlantic Cubic that ever slid: On the thii tv-fir.st the sun rose in tlte east, and wont on the even tenor of lm way. The hinges were not completed un till 2 P. M. Precisely at 3 o'clock t commenced operations, the jiosta having been already set. The hinges worked to a charm, at 2 o'clock tho gate was raised to its place. It looked majestio, nni swung magnificently. At twenty minutea jaist 5 o'clock we elevated our hats into tlie uir, shot a gopher with two charges, and whistled a To Dcum to the tuno of Yankee Hoodie. The other jiost was then set, and ut 0 o'clock the connection was comjdete, and signals came through from post to post with remarkable distinctness. With brow bared and locks flowing, wo swung it through buck and forward, thus proving to those w ho have believed not the reality of the event, and its cupucity to take such niesi-iiges through. That pate is a triumph; it will be a bondof union between the two fences, a nun thing against hogs, and a great ov angelizer of those who go through. It hangs on an 'its easy rimjlioity," and has already elicited the most vocifetous approbation. While the Atlantic Cable binds continents together, our gate binds the fence in one unbroken string, fratcr nizing the two in one. At the first swing of the pate, we forwarded a message to PiLiidi-nt Buchanan ; Tur. Ovits, August 31. Hear Bccu-a.v WVvegot a gate.

A good many sto ries ore told of Dr. Thompson, a hotel keeper of Atlanta, a celebrated joker and one of the best we give below : A traveler culled very lnte for breakfast, the meal wms hurriedly prejiared, Thomp son feeling that the "feed,, was not quite uji to themaik, made all sorts of ajiologies all around the eater, who worked ull iu si lence, never raising his head beyond the. affirmative influence of his fork, or by uny act acknowledging even the presence of mine host. This sulky demeunor rather 'tlea'd'' the doctor, who changitig tho range of hi.i battery, stuck his thumbs iu his vest arm holes, expanding Lis chest by robbing tho room of half its air, and said : "Now, Mister, dod durn mo if I Tiavn't made all theajiology necessary, an' more too, considering the breakfast and who gets it ; and now I ti 1) you, I have seen dirtier, worse cooked, worse tasted and worse looking and of a sight smaller breakfast than this several times." The hungry one, meekly laid down hi tools, swallowed the bite in transitu, jila ced the (mini of his hands together, and modestly looking up ut the vexed and fu ming landlord, shot him dead with the tullo.ving words : "Is what you say true ?" 'Yes, sir,' came with a vindictive promptness. Well, then, I'll bod , hoss, if you hain't out traveled me!" The Printers.
