The Joplin (lIo., BuUctin is responsible
for the following: Nature, when in u
festive mood, performs many odd freaks
But the most wonderful of which we have
ever heard was the birth of strange
monstrosity about two weeks ago, and not
a half dozen miles from Joplin The child,
if it could be so-called, weighed about eight
pounds with head whose forehead was
well developed, bat whose mouth, nose,
eyes, ears and general countenance were
the exact counterpart Of cats, though
the eyes, from dazzling briliiancy looked
much ike serpent's The body, arms
and hands were well formed and natural,
and 50 were the legs as far down as the
knees. From the knees they bore an
almost exact resemblance to the leg of
chicken-the foot was as near chickens
foot as can be imagined-and the infant
would contract its toes just as a chicken
would. It's head and neck are covered
with a groth Of fine black hair, the body aud
limbs looked like chicken when pluckcd
Of its feathers. Its cries were those Of Il
cat.


1t is said this Some five or six months
ago, while the parents resided III another
state, the lady was watching fight between
a cat and a rooster in an adjoining yard.
Two boys, aged ten and twelve years respcc-
lively, were watching the contest with great
interest. Finally the cat caught the chick
Ell by the neck and instantly dispatched
him. The older boy grabbed light axe
and uplifting it rushed toward the younger
saying: On you, your cat killed my
rooster, and I'll Kill you" The younger
brother, III attempting to escape, stumbled
and fell. At this stage of the proceeding
the lady fell to the floor in a swoon, but
only recovered to pass from one spasm to
another, which continued for several hours,
and the result was the birth Of this mon
strosity.


The parents wished the child put out of
the way by violent means, but after a deal
of persuasion and the promise of large
sum Of money, the doctor was allowed to
retain it, provided he would never make its
parentage known or exhibit it for two years.
He has hired an old negro man and his


wife, who live at an out-of-the way place on
the Arkansas line, to raise the infant. Less
than a week ago he heard from it, and it
was growing finely.

4 remarkable case of somnambulism oc-
Cured in the vicinity Of Great Bend one
night last week, the result Of which are
also most extraordinary. The particulars
as learned here are as follows:


Samuel Howe, Il very respectable citizen
of Locust Hill, about eight miles from here,
has for some time been in a very feeble
condition, suffering from dropsical affection.
He is sixty-scven years Of age and has been
able to get about lately only with the aid
of others. Early on Wednesday morning
last his wife awoke, and to her surprise
and alarm, discovered that he was not in
bed. His clothing lay where it had been
placed the night before, and Mrs. Howe
was at once seized with the fear that her
husband had dragged himself somewhere
and killed himself to get rid Of his suffer
incs. She searched the house without find
ing any trace Of him, and then repaired to
! the barn. The barn door was open and Il
look inside revealed the fact that the horse
was gone Mrs. Howe now aroused Mr..
! Schoutcn, Il neighbor He came to her
assistance, and examining the ground about
the barn, found horse tracks leading to the
road and along the road in the direction of
Harpersville Shoutcn hitched up his team
and arousing another neighbor, Mr.. Pintz,
to accompany him, started to follow up the
horses tracks and see whether they were
in any way connected with the disappearance
of the old man.


The horse was tracked to Harpersville,
and from there to other villages, through
all of which it had passed without stopping.
1t was easily followed, the tracks being
fresh and undisturbcd. The trail was kept
as far as Colesyille, Broome county, where
it led to house in the village and stopped
Schouten and Pintz made inquiries at this
house and found that it was occupied by 4
brothor-in-lw Of Mr. Howc's and that the
old gentleman was there abed. He had
ridden up to the house on horseback abou
six o'clock in the morning, bareheaded anc
with only his night clothing on. Entering
he had said to his brother-in-law -

The great leading rule is that no one
has the right to be in the middle of the
road, except when no other person is
present to claim his right to the use of
one-half the highway, which claim he
has precisely the same right to assert
when travelling in the same direction
that he has when be meets another.
This is the Law of every state in the
union, and, so far as We are informed,
of every civilized country; and all per
sons violating it are liable for all dam
ages resulting from their conduct.


When teams meet, the American law
is that each, turning to the right, shall
give half the road The custom and
the law of England require teams to
turn out to the left-9s expressed IN an
old dOggerel:


The rule Of tbs road is a paradox quite


In riding or driving along


If you keep to the left. you are sure to go


right,


II you keep to the right, you go wrong.


In passing, the person IN front is re-
quired to turn to the left, go as TO allow
the person IN the rear, who is travelling
at a more rapid pace, to pass by on his
right.


Where teams approach at right an
giles, or intersecting roads, it is the
duty of the person who, by turning to
the right, would pass to the rear of the
other team, to pull up, and allow the
other to pass.


In wide streets in towns and cities,
these general principles should always
be observed, though, from the necessi
ties of the case, persons are less strict
In keeping on the proper side of the
street, being frequently obliged, with
proper care for the rights of others, to
pass to the other side to avoid a crowd
or other obstruction.


A person with a light vehicle meeting
or desiring to pass heavily-laden team,
especially if the latter is going up a hill,
will generally turn out without requir-
ing the loaded wagon TO give half the
road, but the law imposes no such obli-
CATION in any case, and under all cir
cunstances requires each to give half the
road, unless by accident or some OBJ
structio1 it Is found impossible to dc
so.


If a person happens TO be in th'
wrong place on the road or street, per
! son coming in collision with him is not
| entitled to damages if, by the use o
| ordinary and reasonable diligence, h'
have cOuld avoided it.
