Ernest Adams of Constance brought into The News office a large Jack Rabbit (whose proper name is European Hare) which bore two hus- ky horns on its head, just in front of the ears. Each horn is 194 inches in. length, with a 94 inch base tapering to a blunt peak. In appearance they resembl6, a calf's horns, though smal- ler. The horns grow from the skull. The rabbit is normal in every other reapect. It was ,hot by Mr. Adams on his farm last Wednesday. As far as could be 'learned no one in this neighborhood has ever seen a freak of this kind before, but a traveller claimed they were occasionally found in the West. Mr. Adams intends to keep the specimen. McKILLOP W. M. S. The McKillop Branch of the Unit- ed Church W. M. S. met at the home of Mrs, John Finlayson, on Thursday February ,21st.
