A singular and perhaps unique incident oc- cured here sport time since. An old and large COW was staked, with an abundance of rope, on the margin of cultivated ground for the purpose of having her feed on the adjoin- ing grassy ridge. Some three minutes later, she was noticed to have her head down close to the ground, and it was supposed that she was about to throw dirt with her horns and feet as was occasionally her wont. Only 8 few seconds more and she was seen to stand on her head and end over, striking square on her back. What could the matter be2 Was she seized with an apoplectic fit that was about to end her existance /? It did mt ooesa probable. More likely she was entangled in the rope, and was being strangled to death. Yet such was not the case. A near inspection revealed the fact that she had run her horns into the ground in such manner as to be un- able to extrcate herself. There she lay with he: neck stretched back, and apparently with out the power to breathe. It took something of pull to loosen her head from it's perilous position, and when released it bounded up as How, with her heas thus fastened to the ground, she could have "whopped" over with out breaking her horns or her neck, is a mys- tery that remains unexplained.
