the mail which announced the close
of the war or are anxious to get up
another on the benevolent plea Of
preserving white civilization
The first resolution announces, in

and pre5adice, but refers to its past record
OF great actions in behalf of the Union, of
liberty, education, equality and the
material growth and improvement Of the
nation as an earnest of what it seeks to ac-
complish in the future. And there must

4 RAM FIGHT.
ITO" 1t Kentucky Granger was Worried.

How ii kentucky Granger was Worried.
From the Stamford lKy.) journal.
Early on Sunday morning gentle
man walked out, probably for the pur-
pose of sailing his sheep. After a few
vigorous calls the flock collected around
him, and clamOred as usual for their al
lowance. One old black ram, however,
seemed to have something on his mind,
and stood aloof. The owner, seeking
to conciliate him, approached and laid
his hand upon his head This the ram
resented with furious charge, which
was repeated until the owner took to
flight. But he was too far from the
fence, and the enemy literally hung
upon his rear with persevering obsti-
macy. \ change of front was resolved
upon and Immediately effected, but
still the battery was played with undim-
inished feryor. Soon the parties clinch-
ed, and after a vigorous scuffie they
came to the ground The man could
now do nothing, but his fleece protect
ed his ribs from the furious blows of
his adversary. Both seemed now pretty
nearly exhausted. The man was on
top, and, Selling stone which laynear,
commenced pounding the head of the
sheep. OF course the rock was soon re-
duced to fragments; but the man. hay
ing formerly driven hogs, thought of
the expedient of throwing dust in the
eyes of the recusant ram, and inconti-
nently filed his optics with clay, rub
bing 1t in. He then arose to enjoy the
success of his ruse but the ram riz
too, pause a single moment, applied
knee To either eye, and renewed the
combat. And now the fight was more
desperate than before, and victory
seemed TO perch above the sheep. But.
as he put all his power into one final
blow. his almost fainting antagonist
succeeded In avoiding the shock and
catching the ram by the tail and now
the tide of victory turned. 4 success
sion of furious kicks, administered a
pOsteri0ri. decided the contest. The
ram cried foul play, but the adversary
fought for conquest. At length the
''tail-hold' slipped, and both parties
fled in opposite directions. They will
probably fight another day"
