NEARLY HoRS TOO MUcH.-Stanley Smith,
editor of the Auburn American. gives the fol-
lowing amusing anecdote of his chase by and
escape from savage bull, during a recent Wis
it to farm in the neighborhood of Auburn
to witness trial of mowers
" That bull was one OF them. He was
monarch of all he could eat, chase, or gore
Being deeply interested in the apple crop, we
wandered out of the field in which the now
ing was going on into friend Shotwell's orchard.
Fat and handsome booded cows were lying
about chewing their cuds and utterly indffer-
ent as to what was going on We wandered
from tree to tree in the large orchard and
while critically examining some very hne fruit,
were suddenly and rather unpleasanty star
tied from our train Of thought by the below
ing of Mr.. Taurus, whose majesty had been
reclining, and Of whose august appearance we
were unaware He elevated his tail, made
the earth fiy with his " awfu' paws" and hav-
ing thus manifested his hostility, aud given
tone, if not color, to his idea that we were an
nterloper, made plunge towards US. 4 mo-
ment'S view of our antagonist was just enough.
His eyes flashed fire he roared like " bull
of Bashan" We did not at all fancy the
style of his horns they were Os straight as
needles and about as sharp. He exhibited IN
miSlakable desires 10 employ them upon Us.
Knowing that it was expected of rs to
report the contest trial going on in another
field, We remembered the prior and pressing
interest of our friends, aud set up a smart run.
So did Mr. Bull. We scampered he scamp
pered he made better time" than we coud
q bottom ont :" he gained on US rapidly we
could almost feel his hot breath on the back
Of our neck it was neck or nothing rail
fence twenty rods of bull within FIVE rods !;
give up for "a goner :" no such thing friend
IL apple tree with low branches clutched two
of them. and lifted our precious body into the
tree Taurus arrived just as we cleared the
ground
Our enemy paved around the tree ; bel
lowed after the manner of - Boauerges, the
son of Thunder glared at Us. and finally walk
ell off about the distance Of three trees
Thinking all was right, we slid down vertical
", and d" put for the crazy old rail fence" The
distance from tree to bull and from tree to
fence. was Just about an even thing. Bat our
assailant saw the movement, and at once again
the chase was a hot one but this time we
distanced the % horned critter," and scaling
the fence, landed in field OF rye at about the
same moment our purSuer's horns struck the
ton rails of the fence. and set them firing Sep
arated by the fence, We read the scoundreI
lecture that we hope he viii remember to his
last moments"

the" Editors Drawer, of Harper for December
a rich Joke said to have occurred in a canvass

in a remote part of the district, and, having an
appointment to speak near the house of

night at his house together 1t was well known
that the Squire, controlled all the votes in
that precinct, and that his better half control
