Cows POIsoNED.-James Duffy, OF
this city, lost two valuable milch COWS
on Sunday last by poison, and yester-
day morning ten more were found
dead in their stalls. The COWS poison
ed were the latest and most valuable

worth from 800 to $50 each. The
only evidence yet brought TO light to
show that they were poisoned IA the

nearly double its former size, while
