Ram Bu!tiag Adkins.
We read a sloIy the other day

| We read a stofy the other day of
Scotch minister who had an iron
pot given to him by ore Of his flock;
aud taking it home, finally got it
down over his ears, and couldn't get
it off until the village blacksmith
broke it of with his hammer.
/ THIS reminds US Of an exploit we
used 20 hear Of when a boy, of
young fellow named Adkins, Who
placiiced butting a ram. Crooked
lhorns was brought up about the
house, and Adkins had hardered his
head upon him when he was small,
and for long timo was an overmaich
for the little fellow, and worsted Lin
al butting. But young rams are not
going to stay small always; they come
after awhile to prodigious hartness in
the head. and strength in the neck,
which net being natural 10 two-legged,
rams. gave him a vast advantage over
Adkins, whose fondness fer the sport
began 10 decline rs that Of the four
legged champion increased. lie be-
gan 10 til;nk he should have to avoid
the encounter, uuless his wit would
supply the place of strength and
hardness; and own up beat; and that
he did1't Ike TO dc. +
Oac day the ram had butted him
amazing hard, and it made him mighty
mad So he went into the house,
and'puttipg his mammy's dinner pot
partly on bis head, went out to butt
with the ram. Crooked-horns was as
ready as ever; he knewit was Adkins,
ann when he came at him on all fourS
as usual, he let drive full tilt at the
pot, which he knocked clean over his
ears to his shoulders. The victory
was full and complete; for Adkins
was oEn, ami couldn't help himself;
the light of day WAS excluded, so he
couldn't see the ram, WHO still kept
coming at him on all sides, until he
finally had to b:,wl cut Justify, and
crawl and scramble to tie house,
until he alarmed and brought out
he old woman.
She drove off the ram, and took
Adkins into the house; but come off,
he pot would not Finally it bad
o be broken off before Adkins was
-elieved. To her dying day she la-
nented the loss Of that foi; and as
ong as Adkins lived in that part Of
he world, be bore the name of ''ram

unprejudiced men. now proceeded
to open the defence. In. The first
place, / related fully what had taken
Eplacc at my first interyiewwith Raw

which had been made in the field,
aud the array Of facts that would be
proved corroborating Rawson's state
menpaud establishing his innocence
beyond reasonable dOabt. When
the prosecution closed, deep anxiety
marked the counteEances of the Bju-
ly. As | advanced in my statement
Of the defence, this wore away, and
before / concluded. heavy burden
appeared to be removed, from their
minds.
The first witness introduced, WAS
The surgeon, who proved the real na-
ture of tho wound, and that it was
physically impossible TO produce it
with the folk, if the deceased was
Standing upon the ground. | next
proved a description of the meadow,
and the hole through which the wheel
of the wagon had passed; then in
troduced the stone that had been ta-
ken from the field. with the stains
and hair upon ii; and showed its po--
sition in relation to the pools Of
blood when taken up. l next pro-
duced the lock Of clotted hay, which
was found in the barn; then showed I
by the boy that the pitchIork was on
the load when his father started, and |
finally proved that the course which
Rawson was running, when first seen,
was directly towards the house of
DR.. Morton. The previous good
of the accused was admit
ted, and the testimony closed. A
marked change was observable in all
present. The prosecuting officer
himself appeared satisfied, and Of
rered to submit the cause under the
direction Of ihe court, without argu-
nent. I consented. The presiding
Judge delivered n very able anG elab-
,rate charge. lie cuefully ,iewed
Ill the testimony given, and (laally
the case to the Jury in III
NJ paer which, though strictly i'm
,attial, and fully warranted by the
.yideOce, was eminently favorable to

and without leaving their
Dox, delivered a verdict of NOT GULL
