A lot of drunken cows on a dairy near Berlin created quite a commotion lately, besides disappointing households who were deprived of their milk for a couple of days. By some mistake, probably owing to the darkness of the early hour, the person watering the cows, turned the faucet of a barrel of corn brandy which happened to be placed near the water faucet, and the trough instead of being filled with water, received about eighty gallons Or the fiery fluid. The cows rather liked the stuff, and the whole number, over one hundred, got drunk, ard behavpd in a most disgraceful manner, attempting to gore the milkers and bellowing in concert with the most extraordinary persistency. It was not until the second day that they became tractable.
