The DeacOn's Bull.

Deacon Joseph Jones, Of Litchfeld,
Conn, was a fDe specimen of the old
tstyle sturdy farmer, honest, conscientious
and hospitable to 9 fault, and with one
leading vanity, which was his ability to
raise the finest stock In the whole of New
England. In his younger days The dea-
con had command of company Of State
troops, which lad done service during
the last war with Great Britain, and tho
he had failed, in the technical application
of the term, 'Fto smell gunpowder," yet
he had received the infusion of warlika
spirit, aud earned the title Of Captain"
which, on the principle of "once cap
tain always captain" stuck to him, aud
mingled with the more peaceful cogno-
men of the deacon. ....-
The warIike spirit the deacon coald
never conquer, even though he had been
frequently rebuked by the good dominic
for showing so much of the church mill,
tant in his daily bearing; and he could
find no greater delight, when he could
obtain an audience, than in recalling the
days of his captaincy and telling bloodless
tales of "when l was out in '13 and n"
Among the deacon's fine stock was
bull,a splendid animal, which for strength,
size, and beauty, excited the envy and
admiration of the whole country. So
much was the deacon's bull priced, that
verv soon its owner began to think that
he possessed the most wonderful animal
that ever existed, and to boast according.
ly. From morning to night nothing could
be heard ia the neighborhood Of Litch-
field but praises CT the deacon's bull, and
estimations of its value. At last to such
a pitch did this estimation reach, that the
deacon, not content with bearing the palm
from every cattle raiser in the country,
sought, like Alexander, fresh worlds to
conquer, and offered his bull to the COM
petition Of the whole country. To do
this properly, deacon Joseph issued a
handbill, setting forth in glowing lines
the qualities of his bull, its size, weight,
and color, leading off with challenge to
any one possessing an animal of like size
aud age, to vauquish the deacon's in a
