\ Putney COW which had alread,
been the unconscious cause of much
merriment, in fact the same COW that
wore spectacles last winter when intro
duced to Barney, has again helped t.
furnish amusement for the boys.

known animal having become thu
property of an enterprising East Put
ney farmer, was offered for sale to one
OF the smartest of our villagers. He
was told by the simple rustic from the
East Put" that the COW had formerly
been good one, but that now she
did not look very we'll. The pros
pective buyer after milking the COW
and carefully examining her. was
ready for trade and a bargain was soon
struck. One evening last week the COW
was brought from East Putney by the
guileless owner, and exchanged for the
family surrey of the shrewd villager
The very next morning as the animal
could moi be induced to walk out of
his barn, the new owner called in one
Of his neighbors to learn the cause of
this peculiar phenomenon. The neigh.
