marvellous medicine also cured Mr..

Poor MISUNDERSTANDING this year
in the lower counties of the Northern
Neck is not as good as years past and
it is supposed that the cold weather OF
last February killed out the greater
portion of the game. 1t is now almost
impossible to get more than seven or
eight partridges on an all days hunt,
whereas last year it was nothing un-
usual to bag from 25 or 80 in the same
time. There are quite number OF
rabbits about eight miles from the river
shores, but even these are not as Dum'
erous as last year, and wild turkeys
are almost thing OF the past in Lam
caster and Northumberland counties.
The Wild duck has made its appear.
ance in the Rappahannock, but as yet
has not been shot to any considerable
extent. The wild goose is conspicuous
bv his absence, as the focks which
usually pass over that couotry have not
vet been seen, presumably on account
of the InGian summer.

BULLS FOUGHT AMID FLAMES.

A bull fight with a fetal ending was o
| thrilling inci6ent OF the fire that de-
stroyed the baIn sDd stables of Leander
j. Mccormick at Lake Forest on Mon.
Gay morning. says the Chicago Tribune.
The charred carcasses of the two bulls
were found Thursday in the ruins. The
an mails had died 10 the tangle OF a death
| struggle. They were fighting in the
basement of the stable, and stopped only
wheu the structure fell in on them.
The bulls were two that Mr.. McCor-
mick had imported recently from Swift
zerland, and were of the variety known
as Brown Swiss. One was docile, but
the other vas savage beast that bad
caused the bands of the farm 10 jump

stalls in the basement of the barn when
the fire was die scOverad.
Great effort was being made by the
workmen about the premises to save
the valuable stock in the stables. Will
liam Anderson. head farmer, went into
the basement 20 rescue the two foe
bulls. He got the gentle one loose and
led it out of the stall and then uDcbain-
ed the belligerent one. The latter rush
cd out and came face to face with he
other.
Both animals lowered their heads
and beloved ill iney could be heard
above the roar OF tae fire, standing on
guard and waiting for chance TO

without daring 10 interfere.
Soon the upper part OF the stable was
wrapped in flames. The men STOOD

through the holes in the floor and
| lighted the arena in which the strange
bull fight was taking place.
The animals came together with a
crash and reeled back from the shock.
Again and again they charged. As if
they realiz III that it was fight to the
death, they struggled with such fury
shat both of them went to their knees,
yet peither had any advantage that

in the fiery ruin.
Mr.. Mccormick said he had seen bull
fights in Spain and in Mexico but be
