A Climbing Cow.

Boston Herald. ' A cow is not usually classed among the animals that climb. However, a Hartford-man has a bovine that has peculiar accomplishments in this direction. A few evenings ago she got loose in the barn and started on an exploring expedition. She climbed up a flight of stairs Into the hay loft, and there proceeded to make herself at home. When she was discovered, the question was how to get her down again. The combined efforts of the owner and his two hired men were insufficient to induce her to descend by the way she went up. It was finally found necessary to call in the neighbors and rig up a tackle and lower her bodily to the ground.
