While we sympathize with the owner And rcgret the loss of a work animnl, at this season of the year in particular, it might be amus ng to some of our readers to know how soiuo people act in the presence I of an animal affected with madness. In its extreme pain the sick mule went to a field where some parties were | lowing. Impressed with the idea that it was mad they ths^BUpp'oVc^f"robi*I animal. In their licgira ??. *k? mules fell down and the rider fell off. Not liaviug time to mount again be struck his mule and made it hurry oa to escape the danger, while he took to l?:t> heels and left the road at right angles to seek refuge behind the garden fence, out of sight of the mad animal. Aoother whe was out with his childron pushed them up a tree aDd climbed up after Ihctn.
