Treed hv a Bull

Joseph b!urray is a we'll knowa :ermer OF
Tioga county, n. Y. He is 70 years old,
and has been in feeble health for somo
months. Besides the farm he lives on be
owns another one half mile away, which
he has always used for keeping cattle On, he
being al extensive raiser and buyer ofsiock.
He has not visited this property for long
time. and on Monday afternoon he thought
he felt wel enough 20 take walk over to
il and look around He remained at the
farm unti! nearly 6 o'clock, and, TO shorten
bis way back, he struck out through the
felds. one of which belonged 10 neighbor-
log farmer. As he was passing through this
field he was alarmed by the actions Of fe-
rocious bull that was kept in the lot. Muir
raw was we'll acquainted with the fierce ma.
ture of the bull, but mao forgotten about lis
haiDp in that lot. The bull rushed from the
opposite side of the lot toward Murray, bel.
flowing ssvageIy. The old farmer knew
he could not escape by running, and he
msde for tree nearby, the lower branches
of which were not far irom the ground. He
succeeded in climbing the tree and getting
beyond The reach Of the bull Just as IL came
tearing to the spot.
Murray supposed that when The bull found
;hat he waa out of its reach it would go
about its business, but the vicious animal
showed no disposition to do anything of the
Kind. Il remained under the tree, paving
the ground and giving vent 10 is rage IN
oud rellowiogs. Murray called loudly for
help, but be was out OF the hearing OF any
one about there. II grew SO dark that he
could see nothing, and only knew that the
Jnil was keeping up the seige by the noise
i. made. For three hours the bull kept the
old man ir the tree Murray was nearly
dead from cold snG exhaustion, and he felt
lhat it would be oniy matter OF short
simo before he would have TO let go nis nold
10 the tree and fall 10 the ground at tho
mercy of the bull unless some fortunate cir
cumstance turned up 10 bis rescue. But the
animal at last grew weary Of his unavailing
siege OF the farmer, aud. when Murray had
made up his mind that bis time had come,
he was overioyed TO hear the ugly beast
walking away. Murray waited a few min
utes, until he could hear the bull no more,
and then let himself down from the tree.
When it came dark and the old farmer had
not yet returned home, his son James went
n search of him. He went to the neigh
boris farm and to many other places without
finding any trace OF his father. He was re-
turning home to get others to aid in the
search when he stumbled over something in
the road STOPPING down he discovered
that it vas his father, lying there uncon'
scious 1t was then IL O'Clock. The son
got the old man home, bat it was long
time before he was able to explain anything.
He gave the story of being treed By the bull.
He remembered getting down out of the
tree, but how he got to the road he had no
recollection The shock to his enfeebled
system has been such that 10 hope is enter
tanned that he will recover

THE Stationery TrGdes Journal of
London, England, in its issue of April
80, 1890, prints conspicuously the follow
ing extract from the letter of working
man at Sydney, New South Wales, Aus
tralia:
There are about 5000 men out of
work here in Sydney, and $50 were
counted lying about the parks few
nights ago, having nowhere else to go.
Things are really very bad, and have
been so these four years past. However
there will shortly be general election,
and it is hoped and expected that a pro-
tectionist majority will be returned. Vic
toria has protectionist tariff, and they
are much more prosperous than we are
in New South Wales. So our people,
seeing the baneful effects of free trade,
will go for protection. There was
South Australia, suffering great depres-
sion, thousands of men out of work, and
their families in want. About two
years ago that colony adopted protec-
ton; since then industries have prosper
ed, and it has steady gone ahead. The
curse of this colony has been free trade!
Which is respectfully submitted to
American disciples of the Golden Club.
