An interesting freak of nature may be observed at the Central Butchery, in the shape of a healthy-lqoking pig that had been born without ears. This ought to have been very convenient whenever piggie was hqnted by doge. A five.legged foal was born on the Whataupoko the other day. The local Press Association agent should not fail to have these facts telegraphed away, so that Gisborne may be on a level with some of those places which send us similar information.
