PltANKS OF A MKXICA
interesting letter to the Philadelphia North
American, dated I uebla, 5th August, we
find the following humorous account of an
impromptu 4bull fight:"
About a week since, Generals Scott,
Twiggs, and Shields, with an escort of
dragoons, and the 2d and Tth infantry,
made an excursion to the ite of the. an
cient Aztec citv. and I joined it. About
mi '
two miles from Puebla a
dnt occurred, thouirh it came near
in tragedy. The infantry were ascending
an easy slope, when two Mexicans came
along with a powerful bull which one of
them held by a lasso over the horns, while
the other urged him along with a goad.
The animal became restive as the soldiers
passed, and finally breaking away from
those who held him, charged the left Hank,
carrying a soldier through the ranks on
his horns, and landing him iu the mud on
the opposite sitle of the road. The two
men finally got hold of the lasso again,
and were getting him along veiy well,
w hen four of. us civilians came along on
horses. Then he began to plunge and paw
the ground, and one of the Mexicans who
got in front of the beast to beat him still,
was tossed clear over the bull's back.
The infuriated creature then pitched in
to the other, and throwing him in about
two feet of mud and water, gored and
ducked him for several seconds. All the
horsemen rode up and succeed in driving
