Brayed Himself to Death.

Henry Boren, living near Jackson, Tenn., lost a lino jackass yesterday in a remarkablo manner, says tho St. Louis Olobe-Veinonrat. A year or two since he purchased the animal for 5400 in Middle Tennessee. A few days since he purchased another, which Jio brought home yesterday. It at first resented the intrusion of the new-comer, and as soon as the latter arrived on the premises became terribly enraged, and let forth a bray so loud, so long, and so deep that it echoed and re-echoed throughout the surrounding country. Passion and jealousy nu.ved him to the cue supieme effort that cost bis life. A b!ood-ves«el. burst, End the blood flowed in a stream from his nose and mouth. Tho crimson tide could not be stanched, and the unhappy animal lay down and died. His place will be filled by the new arrival, but the memory of that awful bray will go down among the traditions of the Teuth District.
