A farmer living near Rohrsburg,
Columbia county, has monstrosity
in the shape of a calf. This animal
has the head of a calf while its body
has all of the appearance of being
that of an elephant. The body is
full and clumsy and with all the
characteristics of his larger :herbivo-
rous friend. The tail is also the
very image of that of the beast that
carries his trunk with him, and at
the first glance at the animal not
happening to see it's head, ones first
impulse would be to call the brute
an elephant. The animal is now
quite large, being about three
months old, and is highly priced by
it's owner. All the residents in that
district have been TO see the freak,
and all are of the opinion that it is
worth going miles to look at.
