exhibition of Learned Pig, which, by the
aid of cards, tells the number Of days in
week and in year, and his own age, beside
computing interest and indicating the time
o'day Pigs have been capable of all these
feats before, but the Philadelphia animal
exhibits reasoning powers which are unpre-
cedented. This may DO readily believed
when it is stated that among the visitors
the other day was a citizen Of New Jersey.

probably does the robber little good, ou
which ipflicts wrong upon the robbed
that cannot be computed or compensated
