Bulls Items
(FBOM OUB OWN COBRESPONDKNT.) Bulls, December 21. Two bachelors who live not 100 miles trom the post office, Bulls, hare been preparing for Christmas. Their first consideration was the pudding. A week was devoted to collecting and preparing all tlie necessary ingredients. On Wed* nesday last they arose at 4 a.m., and with all due solemnity began the mixing in a large tub borrowed for the occasion. At 6 a.m. steam was got up in a 50 gallon boiler. The pudding was put in a sheet, and was wit a difficulty got in the boiler. For ten long hours did these two bachelors watched that pot and kept the fire going At the expiration of that time it wns decided that the pudding must be done, and they went to take it out, when, horror of horrors, the pudding haa increasectto such a size that it was impossible to move it. Every effort proved futile and block and tackle were brought into requisition, but to no purpose. The pudding and boiler now hang at the hack door, it warning to youthful ignorance and ambition.
