A North Otajo farmer possessed a bull that he considered absolutely harmless. It could be led from paddock to paddock bv a child, and displayed not the shgntest sign of ferocity. But age had apparently soured its temper, for a few days n"0, as the farmer was leading it from one paddock to another, it suddenly charged down upon him, tossed mm in the air. and it proceeded to maul him about (says an exchange). Fortunately he was adjacent to a fence, anl by a supreme effort he managed to remove himself to safety. Bruised and sore, he proceeded to his house, procured a rille, and made quite certain that the bull would do no further damage to either man or child.
