_Devil's Marks in Swine._--"We don't kill a pig every day," but we did a

short time since; and after its hairs were scraped off, our attention was

directed to six small rings, about the size of a pea, and in colour as if

burnt or branded, on the inside of each fore leg, and disposed

curvilinearly. Our labourer informed us with great gravity, and evidently

believed it, that these marks were caused by the pressure of the devil's

fingers, when he entered the herd of swine which immediately ran violently

into the sea.--See Mark v. 11-15.; Luke viii. 22, 33.
