HARRISON Banner: The editor of this
paper received a very unpleasant intro
dOction to boisterous billy goat one
evening this week. On entering stable

raised his mead, shook himself, and com.
menced walking backward. Ii seemed
that he was trying TO get out OF the way,
but IL Was soon plain that the deceittul
animal was making ready for battle. 1t

much power and force billy goat has got
when he gets mad. They stop 50 suddenly
and the charge is so tOrcble that a fellow
would imagine he was struck by
locomotive. But after being entertained
something less than an hour with this
unirlendly visitor, and having a regular
band.to-hand tight, we retreated and re-
tired IN good order.
