A HYBRID RABBIT.-James P. Perry
shot hybrid rabbit below the penitenti
airy the other day and brought the Skin
to town yesterday. The animal was .
cross between jackrabbit and common
cottontail. The front half was of tn,
common kind and is white and black; tn,
hind half was jack, and in color is ,
blending of gray and maroon. The hint
part was much larger than the front
This fact had strange and ludicrous eff
feet on the locomotive power Of the cot
tontail. When excited and under full
motion it cut around like Chimes,
devil swapping cracker, rendering it utter
ly impossible for the feetest dog in tn,
world to catch it. The overgrowth of til,
hind parts destroyed the animals equi
libriun, doing way with all harmony, o
concert Of action between its two ends
Every now and then the jackrabbit enc
would put in jackrabbit jump unbe
known to the common rabbit end. Thi
would cause a complete summersault il
the air and start the thing in differen
direction. The first shot from Mr.. Berry
gun ratified the animal to such an extern
as to break its gait up entirely and
bounded around over small surface in
strange manner. Had this remarkabl
hybrid been captured alive it would hav
been worth fortune as skin.performin
