Farmers should be exceedingly careful in
signing notes given in payment for agricultural
implements, lightning rods, &c. We have heard,
recently, of transaction which took place, in
which bargain was made for an implement at a
certain price. In giving note, the farmer could
not read nor write, and advantage was taken of
this to fill up the note for larger sum than was
agreed upon.

1t is now stated that President Hayes
will sign all the appropriation bills, and let
Congress adjourn. He may change his mind
however, under the pressure of Conkling,
Blaine, Chandler and other stalwart Repub.

country in state of excitement. The Dem,

unawares, since they have used in the army

perfectly formed legs is the latest freak of ma
ture we have seen. 1t WAS Matched at "High-
lands" the farm of Ny. John Moores, near Bel
Air, one day last weelR and is still alive and do
ing well. If its exist hce depends upon its abi-
ity to scratch for a fving it is certainly we'll
provided with the means.
Another remarkable monstrosity is pig, in
the possession Of Mr.. Charles Scarf, near the
Upper Cross Roads. 1t has one head, but two
bodies, with all the members complete in num-
ber Two of its legs are on its shoulders, and
six at its sides. Its companions in the same lit
ter are remarkably thrifty but the little pig with
two tails did not live long enough to curl either.
1t has been preserved in alcohol.
