A singular freak of nature has presented itself in El Pasco. On Sunday, Mrs T. Howard, of that place, witnessed a balloon ascension, and on the succeeding Tuesday presented Mr Howard with a nice little hoy, which bears a singular birthmark, which is nothing more nor less than a perfect representation of the balloon. The photograph, as it might be called, is located just above the eyes on the forehead, and every outline of the balloon is bodily portrayed in purple lines in the skin of the infant. Evan the patch on the air ship can ba seen, being reproduced by a patch of white skin. The photograph is perfect, Mr Howard and wife went to El Pasco with the Mexican theatrical company, and are well known to the profession.
