WHERE THE LAUGH CANE In

Bunce's and Steers farms adjoineC
each other. Sizer had an lnrul,
sheep which was in the habit O
getting into Buncc's field. Buncl
rxpostulatcd with SiZcr severa
times, and then told him if he dc
not keep his sheep at home, h1
would fix him, so he wouldn't
Jump any more fer &c. But Bunct
soon found the sheep back again,
so he caught him, and with a knife
severed the cuticle or skin just be-
yond the gambriel joint, and be-
tween the main cord and bone,
then thrust the other hind lee
through the aperture, and put the
sheep back over the fence, which
went off hopping on three legs.
Sizer soon after discovered the
sad plight his sheep was in, and
he knew very we'll who was the
cause of it. but he concluded to
take things coolly, and await some
suitable opportunity to revenge
himself.
Presently, Bunce,s old SOW
broke into Steers field, when he
caught her, and with sharp
knife cut her mouth almost from
ear to ear, and turned her back.
When Bunce DISCOVERED this,
h. went to Steers in great rage,
and demanded of him what he did
that for9 Sizer said, "Upon my
word, neighbor Bunce, l did not
do any such thing. Your old SOW
split her mouth laughing at my
sheep through the fence. '-Syra-
