The strange part of it all therefore is that they should have erossed the Grand river, the whole herd of them, and paid a visit to Mr. Peter Bernhardt‘s brewery. It is supposed that these cattle were born and bred near Berlin where they inhcrited a strong appetite for beer, and falling from their own steadfastâ€" ness on aecount of the present lone siege of warm weather, went to the brewery to get something stronger than river water".
