AN Ok AND WOLF RACE. Major Strickland, in
his " Experience of Early Settler" founded upon
a residence of twenty-seven years in Canada, gives
the following account of perilous adventure which
once befell his broth-in-law, James He says: &C He
was bold, brave boy, of ten years old at the time
and his return home with pair of oxen, with
which he had been visiting neighbor residing about
six miles from his fathers house His road Law by
the river shore, which dreary enough in the fall
of the year and in the evening hour, but the child
fearless, and the deepening shades sink into
night without experiencing anything like apprehen-
sion.
He was trudging steadily, singing cheerfully as
he walked, when sound came on the night wind,
that sent SILVER through the young pedestrians
frame-the war-cry of the wolves. At first he hoped
he not the object of pursuit. but the hideous up
came nearer and nearer, and then he knew that
he must instantly adopt some plan for escape.
His route was by the river shore, and he could
swim well; but the night was dark and he might be
hurried into the rapids and to be dashed to pieces
on the rocks scarcely less dreadful than to be
mangled and devoured by wolves. In this extremi-
ty, the child lifted up its brave heart to God andre
solved to the only chance left him of escape So
he mounted Buck, the near-ox, making use of his
goad shouting at the same time to the animal to
excite him to his utmost speed. In most cases, the
horned steed would have flung off his rider and left
him for wolves meat without hesitation-but Buck
set off with the speed of race-horse, if fully
aware of the young riders peril. Nor was his COM
panion less nimbe. Fast however, as the trio fed,
still faster upon them the yelling pack behind
and James could even hear,
Their long, hard gaIlop which would tire,
The hounds deep hate, the hunters fire."
Happily for him, old Buck heard it too and gal
loped on and on but still the wolves came nearer
James shouted to keep them off; the oxen almost
flying, their chains rafting as they went. This
clankng sound, to which the hateful pack were I'M
accustomed, made them pause whenever they came
close upon the oxen while the latter reoubled their
speed, till at length those gallant racers left the
wolves behind and finding themselves within short
