wanted the Sutterville place, and secured
a lease of it from Mrs. Anderson, dating
from July Goth. He went to Groenveld
and offered him l,500 for his stock, fix
lures and good will. Groenveld was sat
isfied with the figure and everything
seemed lovely. But there were breakers
ahead. Kelly went down to the place on
Monday, and after taking an inventory
of the stock, etc, declared that a great
deal of it had disappeared. He then of
ferred Groenveld $500 for the outfit. This
offer Groenveld scorned, and furthermore
declared that he did not now intend to
give UP the place ut all. AS parting sa-
lutte to Kelly, Groanyeld declared that the

was written upon.
Kelly maintains that his lease is good,
and as it gives him the place from the

up and vacate.

A Cow That Gives black Milk.

The following remarkable story may
be easily verified: Robert uansbo-
rough, of Chillicothc, o., is the pos
SCISSOR of a curiosity in the shape of a
COW which gives black milk. She is
kept on Mr.. IIansbOrough's model
farm. situated a few miles out from
the city, and can be seer at any time
grazing in the pasture, and at milking
time the singular milk will he shown to
all who wish to see it. The COW is a
mixture of Jersey and Durham. with
a strain of Ayershire. She was raised
on the farm where now kept, Mr..
Hansborough having been the owner
of her mother and many of her sisters,
none of whom ever exhibited any re-
cnliarity IN the color of the milk they
gave, seeming to be contented with
The old-fashioned hue.
Mollie, as this phenomenal creature
is called, has raised five calves of her
own, all of which have lived and
grown fat on their mothers black
milk. This milk produces a tair
amount of cream. which is a trifle
lighter in color than the milk, and
which, when churned, rcsembled coal
tar of the sablest of sable hues. Par
adoxical as it may seem, this black
butter is as palatable as though of a
golden yellow, and is highly relished
by the Hansborough family. At first,
when they discovered the peculiar
color of Mollie's milk, they were afraid
TO use it in any way, but overcoming
their prejudice when they saw the calf
thriving upon it, it was not long until
it was used just the same as if il had
been ofthc regulation color.
The owner Of this standing contra
diction of nature has been sorelv
bothered by proprietors of dime mu-
seums, but so far has declined all offers
hoping that she may yet transmit her
popularity to some of her progeny.
which so far she has failed to do.

but declare they can detect nothing to
account for its sable color. but attrib-
ute it to some unique coloring pig
