several monstrosities. give description
Of one in the Language Of the editor of the
Banner: .-.--
"A guinea COW belonging to Mr.. Bailey
Of Fender gave birth to calf, or what
should have been calf, last Monday night.
1t had the right number of legs, but each
was only about 81 inches long. The hoof
was spills, but was more perfectly rounded
than the foot Of the bovine The tongue
was OF immense siEs and protruded five or
six inches from the mouth. In the front
part Of the lower jaw two tusks, one about
one-quarter Of an inch long, the other had
not broken the skin. The eyes were large
aud deeply sunken, the ears about three
inches farther back on the head than the
ears Of calf should be. The head was
rounded upward, the chaps puffed and
rounded like those of fat hog. The nose
had the breadth Of q Calls. and the indenta- \
tions Of hogs"
The COW was three days giving birth TO
the calf and finally it had to be taken from
her. Previous TO this, the same gentleman
had cow that gave birth TO two well de-
veloped calves that are doing well.

of yelks IL contained, as it was about three
times the length Of an ordinary egg. When

seen TO be jumping mp and down In the egg
When 1t was broken open an object was
taken ont that had a body and face closely
resembling human beng, the eyes, nose
and mouth being clearly defined, with hair
on its head. The truth of this is SUBJ
stantisted by many reputable witnesses.
