Last Sunday morning William Pat
terson of this town had fierce and what
came near being fatal encounter with
mad bull; when near the top of a
high and steep hill in his pasture in
search of his COWS, the bull leaped upon
him from clump of bushes, tumbling
him down the hill and jaming him
against the ground in not very careful
manner. AS they neared the foot of the
hill the bull tried several times to gore
him but was prevented by his clinging
tight to his horns, or the ground, thus
preventing his being thrown into the
air; at the foot of the hill he was thrown
against a log and the bull settled bach
for a laSt charge when Patterson sprung
catching him by the nose and horns and
the bull pulled him to his feet. Al
this critical moment when his strength
was leaving him, help arrived in the
person of neighbor, WILDER Souther
and with the aid of a fierce dos
they succeeded in driving the Infatuated
beast to the barn. He has for some
time been the pest of the neighborhoot
and would walk through board fence
or the side of barn with perfect ease
The doctor was called, and Patterson i
doing we'll though badly bruised abou
the neck and body. Farmers shoul'
: not be too confident of their authorit,

grief.
