A veritable Bull Run.

--There was a veritable bull run at Boston a few days since, during the passage of the Fifth Regiment through. A young bull, one of a herd, became greatly excited by the hosts of people assembled, and dashed at every lady with a red shawl or fireman with a red shirt, and there were many narrow escapes from the effects of his madness. After making several runs over the field, he made for the South End, brnging up in a narrow passage way, where he remained till he was caught by a lasso, and in the evening taking away by the owner.
