That mutilation should ever have
been adopted as penalty by the
Christian church one finds it difficult
to believe. yet the ecclesiastical au-
thorities inflicted it for comparatively
trivial offenses and several councils
emphatically attempted to suppress it
Thus the thirteenth canon of the
Council of Merida in 666. deprived
bishops and priests of the right of
mutilating the servants OF the church.
The sixth canon OF the Council of To-
ledo, in 675, while forbidding bishops
to exercise exclusive jurisdiction in
offenses involving the capital penalty,
also interdicted them from ordering
mutilation of the limbs even in the
case of their own serfs; and ordained
that bishops violating this law should
be deposed. accommodated and de-

An Attack Upon Veteran Bull BY a
Pack Of the Animals.

80 - VIC SAAAAAaNef
A far Western traveller gives the
following account in the New York
Ledger of an attack by wolves on
buffalo. in the days when both wolves
and buffaloes swarmed on the great
Western plains:
During my travels in those regions
I have several times come across such
a gang Of these animals surrounding
an old or a wounded bull, where It
would seem from appearances that
they had been for several days in at
tendance, and at intervals desperately
engaged in the effort to take his life.
But short time since, as one Of my
hunting companions and myself were
returning to our encampment with our
horses loaded with meat we discov-
cred at distance a huge bull en-
circled with a gang Of white wolves.
1--WE rode up as near as we could
without driving them away, and being.
within pistol-shot, we had a remark
ably good view, where ] sat for few
moments and made sketch in my
| notebook, aftere which we rode up
and gave the signal for the wolves to
disperse, which they instantly did,
Withdrawing themselves to the dis
lance of fifty or sixty rods; when we
/ found, to our great surprise, that the
animal had made desperate resistance
until his eyes were entirely torn out Of
his head, the gristle of his nose was
mostly gone. his tongue was half
bitten of. and the skin and flesh of his
legs were torn almost literally into
strings.

the poor old veteran stood bracing up

had ceased hostilities for a few min

about and licking their chops in anx-

from the valley below, still safely
seated on his noble steed and shouting
defiance TO his pursuers.
After the escape of McCulloch the
Indians set fire to the cabins and fences
outside of the fort and then raised the
siege. The defense had been admir-
ably conducted by the garrison in the
face of an enemy thirty times their
number. In the hottest of the fight
even the females showed great intrepid
ity. employing themselves in running
bullets, preparing rifle patches and en-
forcing new life into the soldiers by
words Of encouragement. Inside of
the fort not man was killed, and only
one wounded, while the loss of the
enemy was from sixty to one hundred.
