Messrs. Smith, Powell & Lamb, of

clearly and fully verified, is that of the

H. B. 1838), calved March, 1870,
whose milk record stands 20,021 lbs.
twoo/.s. in one year commencing at
0 years5 months old. She wan select
ed by them in person in North Hol
land as an unusually fine specimen of
the breed and imported in October,
1880. She dropped her first calf on
January 24, 1881, when but 22 months
old and just out of uuarantlne, and
gave that year 8,964 lbs. two ozs. in
eleven and ono-half months. This
cow as a three year old was first
brought prominently before tho pub
lic by her record of 15,622 lbs. two ozs.
surpassing all former records of cows
of that age. As a four-year-old she
again made a high mark by giving in
one year 17,930 lbs. three ozs. or by
omitting two days when sick and add
ing two at tho end of the year, she
gave 18,004 lbs. four ozs. in 305 dnyH,
far surpassing all previous records for
that age. Her six-year-ohl record,
26,021 lbs. two ozs., this year surpasses
that of Kobo, much the highest record
before known, by 2,245 lbs. ten ozs.
and excelling all other records that
we have seen published by over 5,000
Ills. “Clothilde” is a cow of unusual
vigor, constitution and substance,
wirii remarkable digestive organs, a,
capacious chest, very large barrel and
has tlie broadest and straightest back
and hips we have ever seen
on a Holstein-Friesian cow. Her
head is long and clean, her neck is
lengthy, clean-cut and fine, her coat
soft and silky, skin mellow, her veins

Athens Chronicle : An amusing in

at one of tlie colored churches in El-

which she readily 7 consented to do.
When the presents were distributed
and the names ealled out, the assem

the girl tlmt had done the writing.
An indignation meeting was hastily
