Yeoman, the werchaut of Virgie. has beeu the owner of a Billy goat which was at ouce the pride aud terror of all No it beau Jasper, aud Ora also owned a big oil tank full of coal oil. Iu this tank was a bole and ui this hole was a plug, and it was a common amusement for ihe billy goat to butt at aud rub his head agaiust this plug. It was uot thought auy harm would result from this amusement ou Bill’s part and while he was doing that he wa.not eatiug up the family tinware, at auy rate.

Sentence of death was passed ou Billy aud executed 1 ef'ce Governor Hauly had time to tom mute the sentence. Mauy ills come from impure bood.
