cldents that ever occurred in Lumpkin
happened at Judge j. NJ. SCOTS residence
idst week. His horse and COW are kept
III the same stable and eat from the same
trough, although a partition divides the
s'alls. IL seems that while the COW was
edllng she reached for something that was
IN the side OF the trough belonging to the
nuIse' passing her tongue through
crack. The horse saw the cows tongue
adu at once proceeded TO bite of about
TWO Inches OF it, but not relishing beef
tongue as much as he thought he would
ne did not swallow it, but dropped il in
ms SIDE OF the trough. The cow is in
very bad fix, being unable To eat any,
'uing since the accident.
