GoRED BY 4 BUII~-On Monday last
at about eleven o'clock in the morning,
Ohio Snowman, youth about Is years
Of ace. son of Mr. Alfred Snowman re
siding in this county, went into his IA
theirs stable for the purpose Of leading a
LARGE bull to water and when in the act
of so doing the animal, which is a very
large and powerful one, became enraged
at something and Selling the lad upon
his horns, which, fortunately, are some
what blunt from having metal knobs up
on them, threw him under a trough and
began paving him with his immense
hoofs and afterward again seized him
upon his horns and threw him about flf-
teen feet over a gate between the stalls
and the feed room. This latter act was
all that saved his life, as it placed par
tition between the bull and his victim;

Fey STATE TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
We are informed that the Executive
Committee of the State Teachers Asso-
ciatiou has decided to fix the time for
,h, annual meeting this year on Tues
day.thc sth of July. 1t is believed that
this time of meeting will accommodate
q Greater number OF the teachers than
any other, and Il better attendance than
heretofore is accordingly expected. The
association meets at Martinsburg, and
from the proverbiai hospitality and en-
terprise of the citizens Of that thriving
town. it NAV be safely predicted that
nothing that can be done will be left
undone by them to give to the assem-
bled teachers cordial welcome and a
good time. 1t is also probable that az
engagements will be made for halt-tare
tickets on the Baltimore and Ohio Rall-
road. The programme OF exercises and
the final arrangements Of the committee
will doubtless be ANNOUNCED in due
lime.
