A Metamorphosis and Its Results

A Metamorphosis and Its Results.
A man went to one of our livery
stables and bought pig that weighed
about seventy-fve pounds. Heplaced
the animal into a bag and tied the
end up, then left on a brief errand
leaving the bagge.. pig. While he was
absent, Il we'll known wag took out
the pig and put in a goat. Soon the
man returned and lifting the bag into
his wagon he drove to his home on
Congress street. Arriving there he
first embarrassed his horse, then he
united the bag. Out jumped the goat
and with a pressure of seven tons to
the inch he struck the astonished man
in the stomach knocking him gasping
under the stairs, where he lay, kicking
out with one foot to keep the goat
back until he regained his equilibrium.
The goat then proceeded to butt the
stuffing out of everything in the barn.
Then he left the barn and went into
the garden where early vegetables were
just beginning to feel a little confidence,
but which were soon trod out by the
feet of the goat. The man by tins
time reached the scene, and armed
with a cord wood stick tried to cap
ture the goat Over fields, through
flower and vegetable gardens rushed
the wild goat with q wilder man IN
pursuit. The animal was finally cap
tured but not until he had laid waste
nearly every garden on Congress street.
The man offers one million dollars re-
ward for the person who changed the
pig into q goat.
