A N.Z. Milch Cow.

— » The Bruce Herald is responsible for the sujoined : " A discovery of a remarkable character has been made at West Houghton by a batcher named Seddon. A cow/ weighing thirtytwo score, was killed, and on being dressed was found to have had its stomach converted 3 into a savings bank, no less than sk shillings worth of coins— nine in 'number^bei^gfound within, and two nails #§in long. The animal must have swallowed the articles some time M^ but apparently suffered no disCs^^^ fort." ■- . I wonder what an Egyptian -ibr Chaldean soothsayei' would have said to the foregoing incident, about which there seems to be something uncanningly symbolical. The soothe sayer might possibly have affirmed, that the cow represents New Zealand, that she had once been a milch cow, but had gone dry_.^£i^|mtoher (tatal omen) named Si^dQn^*!^sents the other and greater Seddon who is Prime-ear/ "'-Wba .^SjriVito.: fattened and "(illed, and, to aW behold, all that is disoevefdj In her Treasury is six shillings arid two nails ! Listen, oh ye foople I Thus will it be when Scdqdn succeeds in capturing the AucKt' Department I— Truth. ■•■•■■ V-"' v *s" ■""'
