Cows.

     On Sundat last, Mr. N. J. Ostrander, of this city, met with a serious mishap. He has been employed by Hon. Wm. B. Dodge this winter and has assisted in the care of the large stock of Shorthorn owned by that gentleman. On the day in question he was trying up some cattle in the stable when one of them tossed its head, and struck him just below the right eye, the horn striking through the lower eyelid and cutting it apart and coming in contact with his nose, at the bridge. The blow was so severe as to knock him down, but he got up again and finished his work, but was soon obliged to go to  the house. Dr. Maxson was called and dressed the wound. A few days later the injured man found that his head was troubling him, the concussion having been so great as to produce some disturbance of the brain. He was partially out of his head at times during the early part of the week, but, we are glad to report, is better now. The sight of the eye is believed not to have been impaired.
