calf, was brought to Goderieh. A cow
belonging to Mr- John Weise, Benmil-
I ler, gave birth to the animal—a heifer.
It may truly be spoken of in. the single -
lar sense, for, although it Toseessed Ott
perfectly formed heads, two tails and
two spinal Feolumns, it had only one set
of respiratory and other organs and in-
testines, slid but oneheart. The heads
were set side by 'side, and the two gal-
lets were .distinct until entering the
i. stomach. The back bones were about
two inches apart, uniting at the ramp,
• and looked, much like as if a single spine
had been split in twa. The ealf had a
well -formed body, broad at the breast
and. across the shoulders, and its four
legs were well formed Mr- Weise is
having the carcase stuffed.

past IC o'clock, and resulting in the
complete destruction of Mr. P. Kelly's
saw, shingle and lath mill,. and Alex-
dIcCreight=s house, which was also own-
ed, by Mr. Kelly. The flames were seen
and brought people from a distance of
twelve miles, and there could not have
been less than '800 people assembled,

spreading farther than Mr. MoCreight's
residence. Upwards of 100,000 feet of
lumber was burned. Mr. Kelly'sloss
will be about $7,000. This is the see -

--On Thursday evening, Mr. James
Webster, Registrar for South Welling-
ton, passed away after a short illness.
His demise is universally regretted. by
every one who could claim acquaint-
anceship with him. Ile was one pos-
sessed of many good parts—genial,
noble -hearted, and of a very kindly dis-
position—and just such an one as would
be very popular, no matter in what
circle he might move. His loss,
therefore, is not only an affliction
to his mother and family, but to
the social circle in which he moved.
From the time he was first seized with
illness, which was something of a com-
plication of diseases, his condition was
made a constant theme of enquiry
.among the business men of Guelph, all
of whomappeared as solicitious as a
brother could have been for his wel-
fare. When his death came, which
had ' been almost momentarily
.expected during the last 24 hours of his
life, the loss which occurred was in re-
ality felt. Deceased was a son of the
late Jas. Webster, and he succeeded his
father as Registrar of Wellington in
1869. At his death his age was 39 years
and 4 months.
