the owner of a mare which recently gave
birth to a colt with its head grown fast TO the
breast, the neck being bowed to correspond
with this singular Walf0Tm3tion, instead Of
occupying the position nature usually assigns
to such an Indispensable portion of the equine
physique. That, however, was not the only

Gated in its proper position, was ON top OF the
head, while there was no Sembiance OF eyes
where the eyes ought to be, but Instead
thereof two SOrc-lOoking spots were alone

respect, and was seemingly full of life and
yigor but wishing to put it out Of what he
very properly considered most miserable
plight, Nh Rehr killed the quecT-'OOFinQ
creature shortly after birth
