self with the thought that we still have

birthplace Of an extraordinary freak Of ma
tdre. The head and neck are just like
that of q common lamb, back TO the shoul-

inches long, and both properly iointed into
the shoulders. The body is then regular

tanning but ono back bone. This part of
the body extends down about four inches
from the arms Here there are three di-
visions attached to the main body, each
about five inches long, and distinctly form
ing the hind parts Of three lambs. They
arc perfect-thrce back bones, three tails
and three sets Of hind legs. The animal,
as first seen, was standing on his six hind
legs. with is arms hanging by its sids.
1t only lived about six hours.
