We, The undersigned neighbors OF
/ Hiram Farnum, were called by Mr. Far
mum soon after be misused bis COW, as
stated in the Manchester Journal, aud
we could not see any scratches. or marks
or signs Of abuse about the COW, aud can
truly say that there is not smoother,
more thrifty looking COW in this vicinity
than his. Cattle aud horses always thrive
under his treatment. We have been
acquainted with him for quite number
of years aud think there was no just
cause for the circulation Of such a story
at all.
Yours truly,
