An Interesting Freak.

Last Saturday a lamb was on exhi-
bition at Doc Smiths taxidermy par
lors that was a curiosity. The animal
was born at Fred Gooding's ranch,
and had two heads-one at either end
seven legs and two tails. The fore
legs were naturally formed. and in
the center on one side were two hind
legs, and on the ot.ac1 side was one
leg and directly over this lay were the
two tails. The vertebra was continu-
Gus from one head to the other. The
organs Of the body were perfectly
formed in each end and the intestines
were joined together at the middle.
The lamb died during birth, and in a
short time the mother gave birth ia
another, which was perfectly formed.

statement:
After two conferences between Lord
Mllner, the British high commissioner Of

Mr.. Balfour added that It was not ex-

British and Boer leaders would be resume 4
In less than three weeks time.
Mr.. Balfour's statement made generally
favorable impression. 1t was argued among
the members that the action of the Boer
leaders demonstrates that at any rate d
majority of the delegates favor the accept
ance Of the suggested British peace terms.
The submission Of the question to a plebis-

II is offcially asserted that the conti-
mental statements to the effect that the
Boer leaders went to Pretoria at the sug-

regarded here as the best evidence Of a
genuine desire to bring about settlement
by peaceful negotiations, and as being indie

will be given to the burghers by the lead
