The season has now arrived when wa a.e accus-
toned to prepare for our years supply of Pork. To
give our readers some Information upon the probable
prospects Of what may be the quantity and prices in
this market, we lay before them the following eX-
tract Oft letter from a gentleman travelling in the
West to his friend in this neighborhood. There
have been a few drovss of hogs here already, for
which 81 so has bren asked:

there is at present n greater number of noys IN Ken

profitable prices OF the last year induced many OF
their traders to go into The States of Indiana and
OHIO to puchase hogs, which were driven over last

than usual. Upon this fact You may rely They
say however, that owing to tic scantiness of the
crop, many OF these hogs cannot be fatiened in ad-

grain upon the road will detrr many persons from

"REMINISCENCES SHAKESPEARE IN SCOT
LAMB


Although Sir John Sinclair aud some of the An
notators of Shakespeare, have expressed their belief
that the great Bard must have been among n band
of players which Queen Elizabeth sent TO entertain
her cousin King James of Scotland. and which is
known to have exhibited before that Monarch at
Perth in the year 1000; and although more than one
writer has asserted that Shakespeare could not have
arrived AZ such a minute and correct knowledge of
the localities of the region around Dunsinane hill, as
he has shewn in Macbeth. unless ne had personally
visited Scotland; still. we believe, that until very re-
Gently the fact was not satisfactorily settled. A let
ter from Ben. Johnson TO his friend Drummnnd of
Huwthornden bas at length come TO light, which
makes it apparent that Shakespeare was in Edinburgh,
at least.
Ben. Johnson's father was one OF the Johnstoncs of
Annandale, and when the former went. in 1919. to
pay a visit 10 his friends, he wrote the following to
the Laird Of Hawthornden:
