CAPTURE OF A WILD HAIRLESS HoRsE.-w. G.
COswar's Residence. Mclean County, October 22.-
very singular animal captured few days ago
in this vicinity by W. G. CosWar, and having no
name for him. we have called him the hairless
horse. This perhaps, one of the greatest pheno-
:nena the Western Hemisphere can boast Of. The
.nimAl was captured in the neighborhood of Great
river. miles north Of Calhoun. He discov-
cred scampering through the woods trying to reach
come horses that grazing just inside the farm,
and by opening way for him, the animal
captured. On examining him, he was found to be
entirely destitute Of single solitary hair. In color
he is beautifully glossy black, ami has theappearance
Of being cast from India rubber; the skin is go
smooth and clean that any lady can rub him without
soiling the finest kid glove. It seems that be has
been captured BEFORE and in wild state and still
tains portion of that proud spirit which captivity
can not subdue. We have no idea where he came
from, unless he esaped from some menAgerie and we
have read of no such animal with any show.
He is one of the most remarkable freaks of nature
that ever came to light occasionally to perper the
casual philosopher, and to provoke the unbound as
tonishment Of the behoder.-Louispille Commercial.
