o'iiß <>r ttie 'sHngland says the Mark-lane Express, if not the world, is now the property of Mr Lloyd, of Bredon, Worcestershire, who purchased it of a neighbour, when two months old, at 17a 6d. This wonderful animal is now twenty-two months old, measures nine feet six inches from end of nose to tip of tail, live feet round the neck, nearly nine feec round the body, and stands four feet high. Hundreds ot people have already flocked to see the monster, and the owner has been strongly advised to have him exhibited through the country, which he now 7 contemplates doing. The pig is merely the usual breed of the neighbourhood, and has no particular pedigree. NURSERY RHYME. I want a pedigree; But not of fools Or men of low degree Or Bashan hulls.
