Pig with a Trunk.

George R. Jones has in his possession, at his farm on Hermit’s lane, Roxborough, one of the two young pigs brought from Cuba on the training ship Saratoga during her last cruise. The porker Is a real curiosity, being as black as Ink, and adorned with a long snout, resembling the trank of an elephant. He doesn’t root up the ground instead of his nose. He is a regular epicure in regard to food, for nothing but fresh, warm milk and bananas appeal to his palate.- Midshipman Miltenberger presented Jones with the animal about four weeks ago. It la now abost two months old and growing fast—Philadelphia Record.
