A Strange Freak Of Nature r

A. r. Abbitt lives in the city Of Fort
Howard, Wis, and Is surrounded by
q large and interesting family. Some
two years ago the mother died, having
triplets, and shortly after her death
two Of the little ones were quietly put
10 rest by the side OF the departed
mother. But, singular to relate, the
surviving one, bya freak OF nature, was
ushertd into this world with two upper
and two lower front teeth, while the
body was almost covered With soft,
silky hair the hair on its back being
darker than on other parts Of the body.
From the want OF q mothers care the
little one seemed TO slowly sink, and
looked rs II II would soon follow those
which had gone before. With a few
months careful attention and the as
sistance OF loving hands the little sui.
ferer soon showed evidences OF gaining
health and strength. With increasing
age the motherless ono showed re-
markableprecocio Its antics and
cunning ways were the attractions OF
the household. Strangeto relate, how
ever, all sweetened food and dainty
dishes usually partaken by tho young
were untouched by this pet Of the fami-
~ and he seemed TO have IN unusual
liking for vegetables, which ultimately
were freely given him. Tho, circum-
stances surrounding the birth-re-
markable appearance, and singular
habits Of the little ono, haveto great
extent been kept from the public, prin-
cipally from the desire that the resi-
dence OF his family should not be daily
surrounded by the idle and the curious.
The extraordinary facts narrated have
only come to the knowledge Of the re.
porter Of the Daily State Gazette from
the sudden deathof the subject oil this
notice. On Friday the little one was
as healthy and froclicsome as any day
Of its life; but on Saturday morning II
was found dead, Thespark Of life no
doubt had fed during the night, with.
cut murmur or expression OF pain
from tho now inanimate body. ''7 y

The Trial Of Knllman.

The conviction Of Kullman OF IN at.
tempt to kill Prince Bismarck followed
his confession. His statement was de.
cidedly cool he admitted that he had
fired at tho head because he thought IL
possible Bismarck might wear a shirt OF
mail, and explained that he wished TO
kill the Prince as tho great enemy OF
the Catholic Church. After this the
court had lille To do but to decide
whether he was accountable for his &c
tons, and tho medical testimony thus
became Of special Importance. His
maternal grandfather committed sui.
eide; his mother died insane lis
father was an habitual drunkard.
These antenatal misfortunes are offered
in e1tenuation Of his oilense. The
court approved this view Of his charac.
ter and declared him responsible only
TO q limited degree, The sentence Of
Kullman was fourteen years imprison.
ment, ton years without civil rights.
