MAN hILLED BY BULL.-Mr. BENJAMIN

a bun which he was taking home from the

last week. The body was found about one
hundred rods from his home, lying face down
IN the road The stomach was broken in, the
whole body badly bruised, and completely
nude eNcep. the feet and wrists. There was
unmistakable evidence of fearful contest,
both IN the road and in the forest near.
The animal was owned by Mr.. Nathaniel
Hammond, of Boston. Mass, and kept ON his
model farm which Mr. c. has conducted for
ten years past lie was noble specimen OF
his species, had a ring in his nose and was
generally considered safe. When tho body

especially his pet as he called this creature.
But the men who were soon collected said he
had killed a man, and the way he was driy-

spectator that Stdrk's and Aliens blood still
lives in Vermont, and only needs to see the
enemy to be aroused .-Beliotos Fails Times.

The Sept. term Of this court closed its scs-
sion on Tuesday last. The number of Jury
trials has been very small this term. The
Grand Jury have found, as we learn, over
twenty true bills, among others, one against
Salmon Stohbins for the murder of Perlev
Childs, in Bakersfield, on the 9th of MAY
1857. This case was tried and concluded on
Saturday last, and resulted in verdict of
"not guilty. after the jury had been out
about half an hour. The counsel for the
State we're NJ Buck and II G. Edison, Esqrs.,
for the respondent, w. c. Wilson, II. r.
Beardsley and T.. A. Sowles, Esqrs. The
circumstances of the case are truly of mel
aneholy character. 1t appears that about
twenty-five young and old mon assembled at
the house of Mr.. Stebbins for the purpose of
having "ohariyari," (by which name such
ceremony is known in this vicinity at which
they engaged in blowing horns, ringing bells
and firing guns The testimony tended TO
show that guns were fired into the windows
of Stebbins house, breaking them, and scat
tering the glass aud waddng over the floor
Mr. Stebbins and his family were greatly
frightened, and Mr.. Stebbins jumped from
his bed, seized his gun, loaded it with shot
and fred from the window, and young Perlev
Childs was the unfortunate victim 1t took
effect in his arm. The blood ran so profusely
from his arm that he died shortly after the
arm was amputated. Mr. Stebbin's plea was
justihable homicide, and a verdict was render
ed accordingly. Mr.. Stebbins is man about
sixty years old, and during the whole taial
evinced much sorrow for the hasty step he
had taken, though justified by jury of his
country. Two days were occupied in the
thai, and much credit is due Judge Pierpont
for the able and impartial manner in which he
presided James Mckinney was sentenced TO
three years IN the States Prison for larceny
A number of civil cases were disposed of 5v
the court.
