An OTTER CHASING SHEEP.-A short time
since young gentleman named Hughes was
travelling along the the public road about one
mile east of Darlington Heights Postothce, in
this county, when he met several sheep running
very rapidly towards him. A few moments
after he met an otter in full pursuit. He
seized stick and rushed upon it, when it made
battle, and having broken the stick in an effort
to strike it, before he could get another he was
so hotly pressed by the ''varmint' that he was
compelled to climb the fence near by for pro
lection, The otter then retreated along the
fence, when Hughes jumped to the ground,
seized rail, and dispatched it.-Fdrn'riW
