Swine.

Anew Breed; The first in Vermont.
/ have just obtained from the Deerfoot
Farm, Southboro, Mass, a pair of this
justly celebrated breed of hogs.
They are novelty in this country and
these are the first ever brought into this
state. The result of a test at the Massa-
chusetts experimental station last winter
showed the Tamworths to make more
growth for the food consumed than any
other breed. Mr.. James Cheesman, man
ager of the Deerfoot farm, says, "Their
meat is delicious, more like chicken than
pork; we can get better roasts, sausages
and bacon from them"
They can be seen at the livery stable of
Emory " Steele, where the boar will re-
main for one month, and his services can
be obtained at the nominal sum of 81 I, r
the season, payable in advance.

: IA Wonderful Man.

Williams Kingston, of Ditch-heat,
Solnersetshire, England, was "the most
wonderful of all that wondrous krew."
Concerning him writer of The London
Chronicle says: Iput half sheet of pa
per, with pen and ink, ON the floor before
him. He threw off his shoes as he sat;
took the inkstand in the toes of his left
foot (having been born without arms,
and held the pen in those of the right.
He then wrote three fine lines better
than most can with the fingers. He feeds
himself, and can bring both his meat or
his broth to his mouth by holding the
fork or spoon in his toes He showed
me how he shaves.
lie can dress and undress himself. He is
farmer by occupations; milks his cows
with his toes, cuts his own hay and
binds up the bundles and carries it
about the field for his cattle. In sad
ding and bridling his horse he does it
with his teeth. He is SO strong in his
teeth that he can lift ten pecks of beans
with them, and he can throw hammer
as far with his feet as most people can
with their hands.
