anG one that will no doubt attract the visits of ,
all who have the taste to view such vagarics OF
nature, The - Native Prodigy l. girl of near

has aversion to, and therefore her flesh is not

riIe matter. The fat boys =. vanity leaned the
other way, and we have been told that lie was an
immense consumer of bon bonS. sugar and
treacle, all Of which would have tendency to in
crease the amount Of flesh. The name Of our
new prodigy i Mary Jane Youghman. She pro-
