The latest case of absent mindedness
we have heard of, comes from farmer
in st. Adams, who after milking his
cows one morning last week, carried the
milk to the house and went about his
daily labor never thinking but what he
had put the cows in the pasture. When
night came the cows did not show up at
the lane as is their usual custom, 80
their owner went hunting for them until
late that night, but as he was unable to
find them, the next morning he got out
a force of men and boys and secured the
country far and near with no avail.

the missing cows were discovered in the
barn tied up by the head, where the

beauties that came out. She took her
rifle and started across the field, but the
deer saw her and bounded into the
woods again. She followed, however,
and bid behind a stump a short time.
When they returned she fired and one
fell, the others turning toward the
house. The wounded one made several
attempts and at last succeeded in reach
ing the stream. Mr.. Fogg sent a man
with horse and drag, just as Mr.. Scully
came from another part of the woods,
having heard the report of the shot
They waded out into the water and
secured him, and he was one of the best
