An Extraordinary Birth-Mark

About three months ago, in the edge OF
Russell county, Kentucky, child was
born into q family in which other children
had previously made their appearance from
time TO time, all Except the last) being
well formed and healthy. This is an un.
usual product of nature. The body, from
the head down to about the hips, is in
form and color, with few exceptions, very
much like other white children; around
.he hips it is perfectly black, its legs being
like those of an ordinary child. The head
is also spotted, and the hair upon 1t is a.
stiff as the bristlcs of hog. The sex OF
the child cannot - yet be determined.
The mother gives the following explana'
ton of the freak. A short time before
the birth of the child a vicious wild hog
broke out of his pen, which was near tie
house, and with devouring intent imme-
diately made at the child that was playing
in the yard. The mother witnessed the
scene, and 50 in,;nent was the danger that
she was greatly terrified. She sprang to
the little ones assistance just In time to
save it from the furious animal The hog
was of that kind known among farmers
as ''listen," that Is, having stripe acioss
its shoulders; the remainder of his body
was spotted. The marks on the child cor.
respond to these color marks on the hog.
The hair ON the childs head Is simply q
number of thick bristles projecting out
from the skin. Up to this time 1t has been
healthy and bids fair 10 grow up to youth

The WooIen Mill Tract.

We have before called attention to
the fact that the Woolen Mill tract
has been divided up into building
lots of large size, which will be sold
at auction on the I'd and Sd prox., and
we will now give some detailed infor-
nation relative to the location of the
tract, together with some account of
its soil and eligibility as building
property. The land lies due North
from the Woolen Mills, extending
along the line of Pearl street to the
intersection of that street with Temple
street. A street railroad is about to be
built on the line of those streets. The
Spring and Sixth street railroad now
extends to within one block of the
South end of the tract, Nearly the
whole tract lies on the Northeastern
slope of the high ground which fringes
that part of the city, making the lots
very desirable for homestead purposes.
The soil Is not excelled, and will grow
all kinds of fruit trees and shrubbery
without fertilizing.
