Susouehanna, March 16.-About two
years ago a Jersey heifer belonging to
James Brown, near stevens Polnt'
swallowed a pair of red woolen mittens.
The calf grew to be milch COW, ana
was apparently doing well until a snort
time ago. when Mr.. Brown noticed thal
she was not doing as well as usual SIe
seemed in much distress when she
moved around, and had a strong desire
to lie down all the time. Finally, she
died and Mr. Brown cut her open to
see what was the matter with her Upon
examination one of the mittens and
part of the other We're found in petfi-
fled state. When knocked against each
other they ratified like stones. The
curious VIII probably be forwarded to
some museum.
