Jewell City Republican: Last Saturday,
John Kinkead of this township, exhibit
ed one of those old specimens Of animal
deformity which we read about. It was
dead pig, or rather two pigs, grown to-
gether much as trees or two vegetables
sometimes interlock and become one.
The animal had eight legs and two tails.
The one head was ornamented, besides
the regular organs, with an eye and an
extra pair of ears on the top, very close
together. DR.. Hughes has the phenom-
enon in alcohol.
Winfield Courier: One of those sudden
and terrible deaths which human flesh,
in the mysterious rulings of a divine
providence is occasionally made to suffer,
overlook Mr.. Abram Darnen, of Wind

boy to the pasture to water bull which
they kept lariated, when the animal at
tackled Mr.. Darnell, throwing him to the
ground, and before assistance could be
summoned gored him in a frightful man
ner, causing death in a few hours. He
was a highly esteemed citizen, about
fifty-tive years of age and leaves a
family.
