PIGSfROCITIES.
A Number OF PigeuIiar Instances Of
PICTURESQUE Development Among

Pigs.
From the Philadelphia Press.l
Something certainly has gone wrong
among the Pigs, for instead OF being
born with the usual number OF legs,
bodies and heads that pigs used to pos
sess in old times. those that enter the
world now s-days seem to be all more OF
less the result OF the Darwinian theory
of natural selection, and il the thing i,
allowed to keep on there is no telling
what kind OF an animal will in 8 few
years lay claim to membership of the
porcine family. That our fears are
well founded is abundantly evidenced
by the following pigstrocities-ii
we may be allowed to coin q
word for the occasion-which we
find chronicled in our rural e1-
changes. First we have "a SOW be-
belonging to Isaac 2. Reiner, of Upper
Providence. Montgomery county" that
gave birth to a pig few weeks ago
that had double head. The head had
two snouts and three eyes, one eye in
the centre and one at each side of the
head. The head has the appearance o!
parts Of two heads having grown to-
gether." This peculiar animal was
boru dead, which was unfortunate, for
had it lived it surely would have ''natu-
rally selected" for mate very queer
pigess born at about the same time in
the same place, and of which an ex-
change says: Besides the double
headed pig, Upper Providence has pro-
duced another curiosity in the shape Of
a pig having no eyes and no tail. 1t is
now about two weeks old, and belongs
to Methias Ritter" Our contemporary
makes the comment: when fly time
comes again this tailless animal will
wish it had been born dead"
But resident OF Chester county" is
the happy poesessor Of the oldest pig
vet. This remarkable animal-who
for some reason Of his own not by US
understood spells his name with capital
letters-is known as a Chester White
Pig" and possesses no less than six
legs. He Is in excellent health, and
his spirits seem to be uncommonly fine.
According to the description OF him
which We have before us, "the arrange
ment is two front legs with four hind
ones and four hams, all the parts being
perfect, and thereby hangs but one tail. !"
The multiplicity OF hams, from mer-
camille stand point, is the best part Of
this creature, and his temerity in enter
ing the world on so many feet leads US
to believe that no pig can furnish q
better rasher Of bacon than can he.
But where will this development end,
and what will be the effect OF its con-
tinuance upon anatomy books and that
kind of thing2 These are civil as well
as serious questions, and we hope that
some of our agricultural friends will
send us to them civil and serious
answers.

defling the suffrage, debauching the

TROY, N. Y.
Champion Scaling Race.

TROY, October 15.-The three mile
sculling race for the amateur cham
pionsbip Of America and a prize o'
$1,000, between the well known osrsmen
George Englehardt and James ONeil'
took place at 4 o'clock this afternoon
on the Laureate course at Lansingburg.
A considerable number of sporting men
from New York, Albany and this city
witnessed tha race. A large number
was also present from Brooklyn, where
Englehardt is known and held in the
highest estimation as an amateur oars
man. Both were in splendid condition,
and the betting on the result OF the
race was spirited and general.
Quite a large number of heavy
bets were made on Englehardt, who
was generally the favorite. at odds OF
800 to $50, although ONeil's friends
were very confident OF his success. The
weather all morning was not favorable
and the water was extremely rough,
but towards P. NJ. the wind died away
and the water became smooth. The
crowd began to gather at 2 o'clock and
at the hour for the start the river bank
was perfectly lined with enthusiastic
spectators. 1t is estimated that at least
5000 people were present.
At four o'clock the men took their
position, Engehardt winning the choice,
and at the word from the starter the
men shot out, Englehardt at once TAX
ing the lead. He was soon overhauled,
however, and soon after was passed by
ONeil, who kept the lead till turning
round. Englehardt here exerted him
self to the utmost, and by splendid
speed passed ONeil, gaining the front,
which position be kept till the end OF
the race, winning by three boat lengths
in 90 minutes and 2l4 seconds.
