DIR. J. C. Jones, of Rabun coun-
ty, vouches for the truth of the fol-
lowing 10 1876, Mrs. Sarah Cawk-
ms gave birth to . child, or rather q
monster, which is yet living and be-
coming more monstrous every day
In some respects it resembles hui
man being, bat in every other par"
ticular it appears to be our ideal OF
the wicked one, in miniature. At
it's birth it weighed seven pounds
and measured nearly three feet in
length; its body seemed tough and
inclined to be scaly; its limbs long
and the muscles very rigid ; the
fingers are great claws, and out OF
ell proportion with the rest of the
body; the toes on one of it's feet are
long and crooked claws the other
foot is cloven, resembling that OF
COW, except that there is one claw
protruding from the hinder part of
the foot. The face and head are
even more monstrous and hideous
than that part just described -
When the child was only three
months old it's head measured nearly
8 inches in length and only ] inches
in circumference the chin is long
and pointed j; the nose sharp, hooked
and very prominent (; the lips do not
cover the mouth, but leave exposed
two rows of hideous looking, csrniv-
erous teeth from both the upper
and lower jaws project two tusks,
which interlOck and render it very
difficult for the child to open and
close its mouth on the forehead,
about two inches above the eyes, are
sharp bumps which project out about
one inch andla half, and somewhat
resembling horns, becoming more
prominent as the monstrosity grows
older from the chin and upper lip
coarse and briefly hair is beginning
to grow; the hair on the head is like
hog bristles, and along the backbone
coarse hair is making its appearance;
the backbone extends about three
inches beyond the usual length, thus
forming something resembling tail
The monstrosity is q male.

WORK FOR BLAINE TO DO.

IT was shown 10 the Senate last
week that Rhode Island, with a
population of 27j,000, never casts
$4,000 votes, and yet has two Rep

other States the number of voters in
a Congressional district is from
twenty to thirt, four thousand. 1t

Of the old hawks. and Cliff climbed
the tree to see what was in the nest.
He found four young hawks, and
nothing else. Yesterday, two days

again, and found in the nest ten
young chickens, six little birds and
a ground squirrel, besides the re-
mains of other carcasses. All this
bad been accumulated in two days.
The heads of the chickens and birds
had been torn off, their entrails tax

out except the down. The head OF
the squirrel bad been ripped open

AN OLD MURDER SoLvED.-Theodore ].
McGuirk, who was arrested at Erie, Pa,
recently, for the murder of watchman in
a Philadelphia dental depot, on October Z,
1865, was lodged in Jail at the latter city last
week. By a confession which he made in
1877, when he thought himself on his death
bed, and which has just been disclosed to
the authorities, it appears that he was a CO.
conspirator with McMenamin, Mara and
Fleetwood, three notorious roughs, in start
ing the great Philadelphia coal oil fire of
February s, 1865, when 1000 barrels of oil,
several thousand tons of coal and number
of buildings were destoyed and several
lives lost; that, in company with Mara, he
murdered the watchman at the dental
depot with billet of wood; that in 1858
he was himself nearly stabbed to death by
Mara, and that when he recovered, bust.
ness man, whom he declares he contracted
to start the oil fire, sent him $25 and helped
him to emigrate TO Michigan. His confes
sion was made to the daughter of farmer
for whom he worked, but when he re
conveyed his health he repented it, and
frequently threatened her life in case she
betrayed him.

JESSE PoMERoY. That boy-murderer, Jesse
Pomeroy, in the Massachusetts, State
Prison, is perpetual source not only of
newspaper paragraphs, but of anxiety on
the part of his keepers. When all the
prisoners were removed from the prison to
the new one, a camp-folding chair, which
had belonged to jesse, was left behind. A
subsequent accidental examination of this
piece of furniture disclosed the fact that q
stone.cutter's steel chisel, ten inches long
and weighing nearly two pounds, was con.
cealed neatly in one of the arms which had
been followed out to receive it, leaving
only the bare shell of the wood. If the
chair had been sent to Concord and placed
in Pomeroy's cell, it is the opinion of ex.
perts that in an hours time he would have
regained his liberty, being possessed of SO
deadly weapon.
