green, of Lewisville, Pa, an old cattle
bargains, in the days "befo' the wah, ="
when we followed pastoral pursuits, sends
us curious specimen of an egg. This
nondescript egg is about two inches in
finger, and shaped like long necked
! gourd, slightly curved in the middle where
! it is smallest, and bullying at each end,
with one end little the larger which will
represent the dipper end of the gourd.
| The old gentleman sends this diminutive
| hen egg, by way of reparation, he says,
| for cheating us in a horse trade which we
once had. The difference could not have
been great between the "hanimals," If
this egg makes up the balance.
-Sportsmen should be on their guard in
future when trespassing on the farms In
Cecil county, as the consequences are much
more serious than has heretofore been sup
posed. By the late decision in the trial
which consumed all of last week, in the
case of the State rs. Robert kearney, for
shooting Thompson Fuller, it was estab-
lshed that any person found trespassing
on the grounds of another. by crossing his
fields, and when ordered off if he does not
go Immediately, the proprietor of the farm
may shoot him down, and there is nothing
in the law to punish the act. Every far
mer has an absolute right to clear his
farm of any and all trespassers and intru-
ders, either man or beast, and to use the
necessary means to effect that purpose in
the most summary manner. If cattle or
other dumb animals he must empound or
pen them and notify the owner, who must
pay the damage caused by the stock; but
if the trespassers are men or persons, he
may shoot them without ceremony. A
land propretor's rights are absolute.
Another LaWyer.-Mr. William Warbur-
ton, Jr., who has devoted the customary
period of studentship to reading law in the
Office of r. Haines, Esq, was admitted to
practice at the Elkton Bar, at the last term
of Court. Mr.. Warburton passed his ex-
animation with distinguished honors, the
Judge complimenting him on his very
creditable examination. Mr.. Warburton
publishes his professional card in The Wig
this week, and is now prepared to give
advice and take fees.
a eve belonging to Mr.. r. J. Lusby, re-
siding two and a half miles out of Ches-
terville, in this county, gave birth to a
twin lamb which was more remarkable in
structure than anything of the kind we
ever saw. The body of the animal is
about twice as large as an ordinary lamb,
this being its only visible peculiarity.-
There are two necks and two heads, with
ears eyes, mouth, and all other features
complete. 1t has five legs, six feet and
two tails. Four of the legs are natural
and in their proper positions, whilst the
fifth is attached to the body where the tail
would be were the twin natural issue.
This limb is double down to the first joint
above the foot, but is enclosed by one skim
Below the point named the leg branches
out and forms tive perfect feet. The tails
are on either side of this fifth appendage,
and would be in proper place if each half
constituted complete whole. The sex
of the animal could not we'll be determin-
ed. Unfortunately the eve could not give
it natural birth, and artificial means had
to be employed, in consequence of which
the mother and lamb lost their lives. Mr..
Lusby has had the skin of the lamb stuffed
and any one can see it by calling at his
residence. Barnum would doubtless pay
good price for it. Kent Neacs.
