We find the substance OF the following
in an exchange:
"a lady in kansasattached sixty yoke
of bulls 20 a wagon stuck in the ascent
of hill. The long train of cattle stretch
ed over the hill, through the valley, and
thirty of the team were standing on the
descent of the hill beyond. These thirty
coming to good pull, lifted all those in
the valley from offtheir feet, and suspend
el them in mid air at height of thirty
feet, more or less. The wagon wont
start, the bulls refuse to cave in, and at
last accounts they continued in stata qao
as described ]"
We are happy to inform our cotem-
porary, that the lady herefers to has sub
sequently added sixty additional yoke OF
oxen to her team, and two span of mules,
since which she has succeededin getting
her wagon released; and is now in search
of Gov. REEDER's successor. Great Ia
dies, up here in Kansas.
