Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

A singular incident occurred in this town on Sunday last. It appears that some persons had been amusing themselves by worrying an ox that had been confined in the Wagon Yard for the purpose of being fattened and that they had employed for this purpose an old ragged coat. After he had become much incensed, an individual put on the coat and sallied into the yard, when the ox made at him, and followed him up a flight of stairs into the second story. Here missing the object of his pursuit, he bolted through a window, and came down into the street, considerably injured by his leap of about 15 feet.-Fayetteville, N. C. Obs.
