Don’t Trust a Jersey Bull.
A Je Awnmutu tanner, wno nas always possessed a great admiration for his nine-months-old Jersey bull a splendid specimen of an animal —has now also a wholesome respect for it. When feeding the youngster with milk on Wednesday evening the bull suddenly became restive, and the next moment had tossed the farmer in the air. Fortunately, the wife of “the man on the land” happened to be bandy, and, seizing a clothes prop, she beat off- the infuriated beast, but not before her husband had received a really good shaking, though he is fortunate that- injuries of a more serious nature were not inflicted. Cargo of Cats. A cargo of cats is not a very common occurrence, and yet with such a load; the ketch Kekeno set sail from Bluff for the Horomamae mutton bird islands on Wednesday morning. This family of living rat-catchers is being transported to the islands for the sole purpose of destroying that species of of vermin. Rats, on"some of the mutton birds islands, are extremely prolific and their devastating effects on the birds very often becomes serious if measures are not taken to prevent their breeding.
