Rotterdam, near Schenectady, where Mr.. and
Mrs. Francesca Curticello, parents of the
child born with teeth, have taken the prodigy
to consult clairvoyant. The father and
mother are very frugal people, and by hard
work and great self-denial they have saved a
little money, with which they intended soon
to return to Italy. The mother is about
twenty-five years of age, dark, Southern

pretty girl. The couple have been married
four years, and came from near Naples

the teeth, and there is an entire upper set.
One peculiarly is that he has on each side
of his Jaw an extra double tooth, and an
other, that the wisdom teeth are piercing his
gums already. The incisors are unusually
large.
The unusual size of the Chilli, with the
strange fact in regard to the teeth, has filled
the superstltious minds of the parents with
evil forebodings, whichwere not dispelled by
a consultation with the clairyoyant. He has
assured them that the boy will grow up and
spend their savings, which they had hoped
would quite "set them up" in the world in
Italy.
Their fellow-laborers consider the phenom-
enon an excellent joke, and, although they
view the youth with a certain amount of
awe, poke fun at its parents, who consider
their mirth unseemly.

Complimentary Notice.

Zoo-Zoo is the novel and striking name Of
a new plug chewing tobacco now being adj
vertised in our columns. The manufacture
ers the Wilson & McCallay Tobacco Com
pany, of Middletown, o., are well-known as
one of the most reliable and extensive tobac-
CO manufacturers in the country, and they
claim that this is the finest pound chewing
tobacco ever put on the market They have
also hit upon The novel idea of offering pr.zss
to consumers who will save the tags and
return to them between December 18th and
25th. In addition to cash prizes aggregating
over five hundred dollars, they propose TO
give away ore thousand novelty pocket
knives and five thousand pounds of tobacco.
We have no doubt the tobacco will be extern
sivsly used on account of its quality and
chewing value, while by simply saving the
tags and forwarding them at the proper time
to the manufacturers each consumer will
have an opportunity Of securinga valuable
reward.
