Kindness OF a Cow.

The following account of q singu
lar circumstance, which occurred in
France not long since, appeared in
the Paris Moniteur:-
1.-THE inhabitants of the ncighbor-
hood of Auxonne were long annoyed
by wolf, which at one time de-
voured young girl. A boy named
Foureault, about fourteen years Of
age, was tending some COWS in that
canton. 1t is we'll known that these
animals, when urged by common
danger at the approach of wolf, arc
led by instinct to collect and arrange
themselves into kind of circular
phalanx, presenting to the enemy
those arms with which nature has
furnished their heads, and thus Sc
curing their bodies, which would be
otherwise exposed. The COWS which
Fourcault watched, adopted this nat
ural tactic the moment they perceived
the wolf, which, however, directed
itself not towards them, but towards
the boy, whom it seized, and was be-
ginning to shake. One CT tae cows,
Immediately separating itself from the
phalanx, attacked the wolf and made
it drop its prey. The boy awaited
himself of the contest between his adj
versary and protectress to seek his
safety by flight. The wolf quilted
the COW, pursued the boy, seized and
shook him as before. The COW rushed
forward again for the defence of the
youth, and harassed the wolf so much
as to oblge it to relinquish its victim
once more, but being soon repulsed,
the boy was third time in the jaws
of the wolf, when fortunately two in
habitauts of neighboring village
came up and despatched the animal
young Fourcault was carried to the
hospital, and though wounded in
more than thirty places, has Stree
perfectly recovered
