A Horse with Eight Feet.

James McCloud, of Lodi, owns horse on
his Dakota farm which has eight feet. 1t is

other But at the pastern joint, or lower end
of the shin bone, the branch begins, and two
perfectly formed feet are found on each of
the four legs The horse runs on the range

eight feet are shod, or may be if desired. Nc

erected at Laurel, twenty miles from Balti

matte tube and the ordinary railroad carries
a miniature train of two cars solely for mails

The road has three rails-one above the car
for carrying the current, and two below
which carry the cars. The cars are built Of
sheet iron, and are two feet square and TWEEN
ty-one feet long Speed will be regulated and

is stated that similar roads will be laid be-
