A MAN TURNED INTO A WO-
MAN
TRoM THE NArIoxAL INrE1L1eENcEn.

FROM THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER
MesSrS. Gales s. Seaton Since the
strange metamorphosis of hen into a
rooster, some sensitive and compassion
ate bachelor seems to entertain fear that
some of our fair damsels may awake
some morning and find themselves turn
ed into a man. / have seen several
things during my peregrinations and per-
ambulatlons-but woman turned into
man | never saw, I'll tell you, though,
what | did once see, which was Uerv
like Ill saw hman turned into no
man-and the magician who did it was
no other than Gov. CAss, the present
Secretary of War. I'll tell YOU what
he did it for and hOW he did it, for the
benefit Of such men as may wish a
change.
At La petite Butte DIES morris, an In
dian wounded women severely in the
arms with knife. Gov. Cass had him
Immediately arrested and taken to the
top ola mound in the midst of thousands
of surrounding Indians, of both sexes
and all ages. The Governor made a
short speech to the crowd, reminding
them of his having said, at the opening
of the treaty, that whoever shed drop
ofblood, pending the negotiations, should
certainly be punished. He told them if
fighting must be done, men should fight
men and women should fight r0men.-
That any man who should raise his arm
against woman ought never after to be
regarded as man-but thence forward
associate with women-make mats and
mockasins, and cook for the men-and
be deemed by all as only a woman
That this Indian having forfeited his
manhood, he proceeded to make woman
OF him. SO saying, he took the culprits
war-leathe1 from his hair, and causing
him to be entirely Invested ofhis mems
apparel, he substituted women's Hatshe.
Itofa and all-and proclaimed him. in
the presence ofall the people, roman.
His doom was irreyocabIy fxed-a wo-
man he must ever after be.
The surrounding multitude, with in
tense anxiety, gazed on the ceremony
in death-like stillness-and their sad
couutenances seemed to say-"it is too
much Such disgrace who can bear ~
and do assure you that as thenewly-
made women skunk along through the
mob with crowd Of boys whooping at
his (her) heels. she (he) looked not less
like fool titan a woman.
This punishment, / doubt not at all,
had better effect in checking brutal
violence towards their women than the
severest torture that could possibly be
inflicted l verify believe high-mind-
ed Indian would rather be stabbed TO the
heart than thus metamorphosed.
The whole Delaware nation was once
converted into women by the Sir M.
tions, because, say their converters, they
were no more than Uomen in the firth,
and they did not desire their extermin-
alton, they (the Delawares) being their
g.randfathers, and, being women, they
could neither be invaded nor make war
on others. On the other hand, the Del
awares say, it was voluntary thing on
their part all the other nations, being
only as children IN their hands, requested
the Delawares, as an act of charity to
them to become women +; and instead Of

ON FATTENING HOGS.
BY J. II. CAILLSRD.

As there is so little economy observed
in fattening hogs in this part ofthe coun-
try, | beg leave to notice that also, and
point out a better and cheaper mode.
The common practice is to put them in
a large pen in wet season thev are
soon up TO their knees in mire and have
not a dry spot TO lie on. In this. situa-
ton there must be much corn wasted. and
they cannot possibly thrive but very
slowly. My practice has been TO make
two square pens adjoining they are
both hoored with rails, and one of them
is so covered as TO turn the rain, and is
well Uttered with leaves or straw, and
fresh litter added at least once q week
In the other pen trough is placed, in
which they are fed from twice TO three
times day. One meal they are fed OF
peas, and the other two on corn: il is
somtimes boiled and well sailed, and at
other times raw. This has been NV
practice for three winters and nv hogs
have always fattened very fast, and eat
less than those fed in the uncomfortable
manner above described.
Last winter after killing off half nv
fattening hogs, the others were fed 20
Sether on fine corn meal, and although
the weather got much more severe. they
tattened much faster than they had done
before, and eat still less.
Last winter when the fields were eat
out, I commenced feeding my little stock
OF out hogs on corn their allowance was
six quarts, but when the weather became
severe, they fell away fast on This allow
ance. then laid the corn aside, and
had four quartsof corn meal boiled every
day i'll ten gallons of water, until il boil
cd down to about eight into this half
pint OF salt was occasionally thrown
while boiling; when done it was taken
up in large tub and given them every
day, and in one week from the day this
practice was adopted, they looked much
better and from that time increased in
flesh. When the spring opened. they
were led only three times week, i'm the
same manner, and in the month of Nav
reduced to twice week and by the
middle Of June it was discontinued
Had persisted in giving them the six
qts. of raw corn, am satisfied thot moi
more than half would have seen the
spring.
| have also adopted the practice of
grinding all my horse corn into fine
meal, and l find that ] save a third after
paying the toll.

HoRsEs' DRINE.-Somc Of the inn
Keepers on the Western-road have adop-
ted the practice, recommended by q
member of the Bath Agricultural Soci-
ETY., of boiling the corn given to horses
and giving them the water to drink. II.
is most satisfactorily ascertained that
three bushels of oats, barley, &c. so pre-
pared, will keep the horses in better
condition for working than double the
quantity in crude state.
