A heifer, about three years old, the property of
Mr. HOLICING3, of Higher Leigham, in the parifh of
Egg Buckland, calved a calf the 29th day of March
laft, and on Thurfday, the 9th day of this inftant,
(April) fhe calved anather ; they are both exaelly
alike in colour, and fpotted equally alike—and what
is extraordinary, the heifer would not let the fira
calf fuck but two of the teats on one fide, nor yet
fuffer any perfon to milk the other teats, till the had
the other calf, which was 12 days after, when the
milk came regularly in the other teats. They are
two very fine calves, and are now turned to hand,
and very likely to do well and make a pair of good
oxen.

powerfully applies at this ;faint. Next Saturday's
drawing of the Lottery is fully in proof. A so,onte,
Prize to the Firft Number, while all the pr liter
floating Capitals are Rill in the Wheel, is a ails as
unprecedented in the Lottery Annals, as it merits a
bold pods from the votaries of fpiritul enterprise.
