REMARKABLE FREAK.
PTG WITH TWO HEADS. PRODUCT OF LOCAL FARM. One of the most remarkable- animal freaks was born on a local farm on Saturday, when a- Berkshire sow gave birth to a pig with two heads, the freak being one of a litter of eleven. The pig was born on Mr C. D. Parker's property, Waikanae, and' was brought, to town this morning to be preserved for the purpose of exhibition. The freak is well formed 1 , having two heads and practically two complete bodies, with eight, iegs. The only real deficiency appears to be that the two bodies have only one tail between them, while, although the palate of one is completely formed, the other is e’eft. The two bodies were of different sex. Although the freak was fu\'!y developed, if never breathed after birth.'
