MUNOIE, Aug. 6.-Yesterday morning child

to be classed among the most remarkable of

the toes and fingers on each foot and hand
united into two groups, opening each way. giving
them the appearance of the claws of a crawfish.
On the back of the chids neck is an aperture,
which seems to communicate with the organs
within and is covered externally by an elastic
flap. To add to the distortion of this childs
body, nature has allowed it to come into the
world hermaphrodlte. In all other respects the
child is we'll formed, and may live. The parents
are of good form and health, and this is their
first child and they are greatly grieved that
nature should have served them so badly.
