A Pig Which Upon Investigation
Proved to Very Much Alive.
From the Baltimore Sun.
1.-THE funniest buzzard story I know
is this" says Talbot county tax COL
lector. "I was riding along the road
and saw pig lying. down on the
ground and a buzzard walking about
IN the field. I did not know whether
the pig was dead or asleep; nor did
the buzzard, evidently. I stopped to
watch proceedings. The buzzard got
closer and closer to the pig, walking
slowly and stopping often.A Finally he
got In position. and got up courage
enough to pick the pig in the eye with
his beak. The pig awoke. frightened,
and jumped up with sundry porcine
snorts. The buzzard was scared as
badly as the pig. He actually fell
over on his back, with his claws in
the air, and by the time he retrieved
himself the hog was hundred yards
away and still running"
