WONDERFU UL ULCURIOSITY-P AMI
NAL AND PART HUMAN.

The British ship Scindia, Captain Gcorgt
Harrison, arrived here few days since from
Calcutta. having on board one of the mos
rema, kable naturs,l curiosities the world has
probably ever seen It consists of sbor
horned, sacred Brahmin bull, born in Nepaul
by Captain William Denison F0lger, formerly
IF this city but latterly resident of Calcutta.
The bull itself is y natural curiosity, attf il
o,e of that description of animals held in
great reverence by the natives of India or
account of its traditional sacred character.
But in this case novel lusus nature renders
IL most singular creature. The brute portion
| is symmctrically formed with glossy coat of
:awn colored hair and we'll shaped body and
limbs. But protruding, as it were, from the
| left side Of the hump on the back of the neck
of the animal is a wonderful aud regularly
| shaped III nearly all respects, human arm.
The deltoid and triceps ani blcepa and mrs.
clcs are we'll developed, particularly the lat>
| ter; the Joint at the elbow is flexible, the
forearm rather a:tenuated, tie wrfst as fully
| flexible as in the human arm proper. while
the hand is composed Of four distinctly mark
f! ed fingers, two of them connected together.
This extraordinary appendage to an otherwise
well formed body dccs net appear to give the
creature any ineon ver fence or rsdn, generally
hanging list,essiy by its side, except when it
IS angered or annowed, when the arm rises as
if its possossor felt inclined to ''strike from
the shoulder" The animal is quite healthy,
enjoys u ravcnous appetite, the nice grass Of
its native Cline being its favorite food, ana
does not seem to have suffered any bodily in
jury by its long sea voyage. If not disposed
OF in this country, we learn that II is the III
tention of the importer to take the creature to
England, and secure place in the London
biological Gardens, where such novelties are
highly priced. 1t would prove unique at
traction to the natural curloslties in our Cen
tr.: Park 1t has already been visited on the
Scindia by several scientific gentlemen OF this

FARMERS'- HOMES.

Frank ID. Curtis, in his address before the
New York State Agricultural Society, said
several good things in regard TO farmers
homes, but none more to the point than tho
following in regard to the location and sur
roundings Of the dwellings: "A house OH
hill with no trees around it looks cheerless
and unhomelike. Have grounds around the
dwelling. Tear awAv the fences they cost
money and arc useless mean fences shut

LONDON. November -.
The city has been thrown into a state
Of intense and painful! excitement to-
night, by a report laid to como from
Balmoral Castle, announcing the death
of Her Majesty, Queen Victoria. The
fumor has been extensively circulated.
No official information has yet been re-
ceived, and the denial or confirmation Of
the report is an1iously awaited. The
report states that the Queen died very
suddenly, but the cause of her death is
not given.
Later.
LONDON, November Is.
No official confirmation of the death
of Queen Victoria has as yet been re-
ceived in this city. and it is hoped that
the rumor may provo false.

1t il very probable that at the next

thersto. Austin IS their natural mar
ket, and is far more convenient TO the

than is Belmont. saving to them III

ness connected with the Courts. To
c0mpe! these people to go to Belmont.
the county seat Of Nye county, on jury
or witness duty entails upon them
great hardship and expense, anil they
will undoubtedly petition the Legis
lature for relief by annexation TO Lam
der.
1t is also probable that Churchill
county will have an extinguisher put
on it, and that Lander will come in for
. slice. BY this annexation we will
not gain much in population or tax
able property; but we will gain con-
side r able territory, such as it is-prin
cipally sage brush aud greasewood

ever-bo:h stock and agricultural

tory. We know nothing of the merits
Of the proposition to slice off piece of
Nys and give i. to Lander, but in
common with every body who has
looked at the matter with any sort OF
care, we are for the absorption of |
Churchill into the bodies of its neigh |
bors. Indeed, there is no more need |
OF a separate county government Tor |
Churchill county than there is for the |
existence, on TIE map, of Roop county. |
There are less than 100 voters in |
Churchill, all told; the county is SO |
situated with relation TO its neighbors |
