TECUMSEH.

In conversation with gentleman the other day
about the peculiar traits of Indian character he rea-
ted an anecdote of the celebrated Tecumseh which
snguarly evnces the sagacity and shrewdness of this
warrior, and the manner by which he first acquired
that unlimited influence over his tribe 1t is well
known that formerly, the Indians regarded an eclipse
either Of the Sun Moon, as a terrible pordentous
omen; and whenever one occurred, council was
usually held to ascertain the cause Of the wrath of the
Great Spirit. At the disastrous defeat of St Clair
while they in the eager chase of the unfortunate
fugtivcs, they thrown into such CONSERVATION by
eclipse Of the Moon, that the pursuit was stopped
and consultation held and so long was the debate,
that an opportunity afforded the shattered remnant
to seek place of security. While some traders were
visiting their settlements the Wabash in the Spring
Of 1926, Teculnseh learned from them that total
eclipse Of the would take place on the 18th Of
June Knowing this superstition of his people, he
dexerously resolved to make use of this information
for his own advantage; and accordingly represented to
them, that the Great Spirit had constituted him his
agent on earth, and that, if they did not implicitly
comply with his directions, the sun would on GER
tain day hide his head and withdraw the light OF his
countenance from them. To their amazement, this I
prediction was fulfilled and ever AFTER they submit
ted to his dication with confidence that was never
shaken, until his career was terminated

To Farmers.-The fattening of winter hogs is a
matter Of Importance, and by proper management,
much may be saved. AS soon as the Indian corn is
fit to feed the hogs should be put in a pen. Rye,
buckwheat, corn, ground together boiled pota-
toes. pumpkins, &C. make excellent slop for them it
should be made thick, and given to them three times
day and as much of the soft Indian corn as they

Hogs should be fed little at time, but often, and
great care taken not to stall them. The last two
weeks of feeding them, Indian and water the
best their pen should be cleaned twice week, and
their bed made of clean straw Swine are liable to
variety of diseases, to wit mango, measles, stop

in which hogs are too frequently kept. The mango
may be cured by sprnklng the backs of the hogs
