A TOu2h Bui,-or story.

A novel incident occurred on the Ken
lucky Central Railroad a day or two ago.
As train was dashing along ut the rate
OF about 40 miles per hour, the engineer
discovered bull on the track not more
than hundred yards ahead. lie checked
the speed ofthe train somewhat and SCUM
ded the'whistle in order TO scare the animal
offthe track, but his bovine hghness was
not to be intimidated in any such man
ner. lie had doubtless heard the whistle
often before, and had therefore become
familiar with its sound. The train sped
on and soon come up to where tue bull,
II belieerent attitude, had planted HIM
elf. His head was close to the track,
and he was paving the ground between
the cross ties at a furious rate, making
the dirt fly high over his back, the cow
catcher struck him square between the
eyes, and strange to relate the animal,
heavy as he was, was thrown on top OF
the boiler Of the locomotive, from which
he rolled down on the side of the road,
and was lett for dead, as he exhibited no
signs of life whatever. A "soap grease
nun" Of Covingt1n was notified OF the
casually, and Immediately repaired TO
the scene Of the encounter for the pur-
pose Of looking after the earcase of the
indiscreet bull F; Lut Judge of his surprise
when he arrived upon the ground to find
the animal quietly grazing in pasture
hurd by, minus a horn, and displaying
palpable marks of his unwise contest
with the iron horse"

"But it is coming" returned the boy.
