A COW OF Mr.. james e. Dooley, Hoods
grove, New Ross, recently went mad.
The beast was bitten by a mad dog, and
the veterinary inspector pronounced it
to have died of hydrophobia. On Tues
day Mr.. Dooley noticed the cows
strange antics, it becoming very FESTIVE
and wild looking, and betraying symp-
toms of hydrophobia. The beast was
put into a house and chained up. 1t
struggled madly for freedom, bit at
everything. ate the ropes and boards
of the manager, and tried to eat the chain
which bound her. Struggling incessant-
ly with the chain, she burst it. Now
the danger was that she would eat her
way through the door. The door Was
treble barred outside, and perfect but
tress formed to prevent the cows exit,
The animal was now watched through
the roof and window. 1t became worse
and worse, and in her desperate state
attempted to cat off her forelegs. The
se!f-ntlicted wounds were horrible but
fortunately 1t was sight not destined
to last. BY evening the beast was fairly
done to death, and, lying down exhaust
ed. shortly died. A skilled cattle doc
tor named Johnson saw her afterwalm
and stated that she was affected with
/ hydropoEia
