Cincinnati, Oct. 20.-Mad Bullock.-Yesterday afternoon, as we sat writing at our window, we saw a bullock come up Front street, and turn on to the public landing, pursued by about 15 or 20, mostly boys. He had a rope attached to his horns, which trailed after him 50 or 60 feet. As soon as he got on to the landing, a crowd collected immediately, and annoyed the poor animal with every kind of missile they could lay their hands upon. They thought to prevent his pursuing them by making the rope fast to a plank: but the enraged animal, goaded to perfect madness, turned upon his tormentors, and killed one man and wounded another.
