Curiosity hunters can crafty their
pleasure to the utmost If they will come
to Cavalier Mr.. Hebert of this place
has in his possession one of the oldest
freaks of nature ever heard of. The fol-
lowing is a brief description of the
wonder. 1t lisa calfor rather pair of
heller calves grown into Il prom,scuous
mass. 1t has two perfect heads, two
tails, seven legs, eight feet, two backbones
and apparently one set of bowels. On
it's hind quarters are three legs, two of
them are perfect in shape and the other
is a hind leg as far down as the joint
above the knee. 1t is then continued in
the shape Of a front leg from the knee
down and the whole leg terminates in
double foot on front hoof and one hind
hoof. We are sorry to say that Mr..
Hebert had to kill the COW. He in
tends to keep the curl ,sity as long az
cold weather lasts.
