One afternoon last week a blind cow which had strayed from its home pastures took up its position outside the Bank of New South Wales at Edend.ale (states the “Otagp Daily Times”), and efforts to move it proved unavailing. Unable to find its bearings, the animal became quite frenzied, and business at the bank' had to be suspended owing to cus>tomers being unable to run the blockade. A man on a bicycle, approaching unsuspectingly, and misinterpreting the signs of warning from all quarters, swerved .aside top J ate and was unseated.
