A Queer Sort Of. a Contest


Early on Sunday morning gentle
man walked out, probably for the pur-
pose of sailing his sheep. After 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 bis
hand upon his head. This the ram re-
sented 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 bis rear
with persevering obstinacy. A change
Of front was resolved upon aud immedl-
ately effected, but still the battery was
played with undiminished fervor. Soon
the parties clinched, and after vigor.
Gus scuffie they came to the ground. The
ram could now do nothing, but his fleece
protected his ribs from the furious blows
Of his adversary. Both seemed now
pretty nearly exhausted. The man was
on top, and seizing stone which lay
near commenced pounding the head of
the sheep. Of course the rock was soon
reduced TO fragments; but the man, hav-
ing formerly driven hogs, thought Of the
expsdient Of throwing dust in the eyes
of the recusant ram, and incontinently
filled bis optics with clay, rubbing it in.
he then arose to enjoy the success Of his
ruse; but the ram riz too, and paus-
ing 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 be put all his
power into one final blow, his almost
talnting antagonist succeeded 10 avoiding
the shock and catching the ram by the
tail; and now the tide of victory turned.
A succession of furious kicks, admins
tered Posteriori, decided the contest.
The ram cried foul play, but the adver-
sary fought for conquest. Atlength the
/" tail hold slipped, and both parties
fled in opposite directions They will
probably fight, another day" Stan
