NEIGHBORING COUNTIES A mad bull killed two oxen, and came near doing as much for a man, in Lyons last week. Judge Harlow COMSTOCK, formerly judge of Wyoming County, has been nominated by the Liberal Demo's for judge of Ontario County. Mr. L.D. MORGAN has upon his farm in Orangeville, Wyoming Co., an Elm tree whose circumference at the base is twenty-one feet. The Second Annual Reunion of Teachers and Pupils of Pike Seminary will be held at Pike, Wyoming Co., on Friday, Oct. 18th 1872. A good time is expected. Last week a daughter of Mr. TELFORD, near Castile, Wyoming Co., was killed by falling from a straw-stack. Her neck was broken by the fall. She was 14 years of age. Major Hugh T. BROOKS, of Wyoming Co., was quite severely handled by an infuriated bull on his premises a few days since. He was knocked senseless, but was saved from serious harm by some of his neighbors who happened to be near. The 'News' of last week gives an account of an Attica painter, who fell from a platform, upon the steeple of the new Presbyterian Church in that village, a distance of sixty feet, to the ground and, strange to say, he was neither killed outright nor fatally injured.
