(New York Times, Marsh 20th) On Thursday afternoon a bullock, supposed to have Jumped overboard from a cattle boat, was discovered in the water opposite Pier No. 37, East River, and was taken cut and brought to the Seréntli Precinct Station, by an officer and four hostmen. While being removed to a stable, the animal became infuriated, and broke way from his emptors, passing Public School No. 31, in Mourou-street, just so the children were being dismissed and were coming out of the building. One boy was aught on the anill's horns and thrawn un to the nir, and in his dosecal woaught by a citizen and cooped uninjured. Several other children' weee kunek. ed down and troplet upon, without, however, receiving any woricas lujuries. Amid this case of excitement Officer Gilson appæret, and litemily, Husk the bull by tha korús and held Lim til he was killed by a citizen why had come to the officer's wid.

By his gallant conduct the lives of many of the children were doubtless aayed, Capt. Mount reported the ocetrrence to Board of Police Commissioners, and they adaptat a solution making humorable men- ton in the roots of the Department of Patrol. man Gb, and nan reward for his pallant conduct prometed him to the rank of rounds. шад
