 The ssbrindle heifer" case has ended with 8 fitting climax which leaves Mr.. Blanchard's positive witnesses with a little work of explanation ons their hands. A Brimfield farmer, who took up an 9estFay heifer last September and duly advertised the same without results, had his attention attracted by the noted case, and had an idea that the only md original b. b. was the one in his own herd. Last Saturday Mir. Taft, Cleaveland's lawyer, hearing of the animal, rode over to seeit, and learned that Blanchard had been there before him, and had acknowledged the animal to be the long-lost b. h. The witnesses who so M-n "a hnSF CT as the one lost by Mir. B. and also swore SO positively that the same animal was not in Mir. Cleaveland's herd in the same pas ture in 1885, have had the support taken from their, feet, and will need 8 long ladder to get down to tara frma again. The whole case in it's treatment has been re- flection on MT. 0. s honesty, and he natural ly feels that eoneid crab bEe reparation is due beside making good the cost he has been at to defend his property.
