RATHER MYSTERIOUS.

a few days since a lady and gentleman
arrived in this city from the South. The
gentleman seemed to have plenty of money,
boosted of his real estate, etc. The lady
appeared to be a very quiet and peacablc
body, aid but little, and seldom made her
appearance excep, at the table of the l,otc
where they lodged. After being in the city
2or days, one Of the landlords daughters
suddenly became very much enamored of the
lady above mentioned, and thoy were at al
most any time to be found together in the
room of the latter. The landlord saw no
harm in their being in each others company
and therefore did not pay much attention to
the affair." One afternoon, few days since
tho two ladies' went out to take ride in
new carriage which the landlord had lately
purchased. Night came, and they did not
return. Servants, footmen, hostlers, and
almost every body about the place, started
out in search of the two ladies, bu, nothing
could be heard from them. Some surmsed
that the horses had ran away with the car
riage, and probably killed those that were in
il; others were of the opinion that they had
got into the river, and had been drowned.
In the mean time, the gentleman who had
come to the hotel with the lady, who was
supposed to be his wife, made himself per-
fectly easy. He neither took part in the
search for the lost ones, nor expressed any
apprehensions on their account. Day be.
fore yesterday, letter arrived at the hotel
for the stranger, and on opening it, it was
found to read thus: John, bring my bag
gage over to Paris. Tell Mr.. that
my wife, This daughter,) is perfectly well,
and hopes he'll como and spend the summer
with u.s. The landlord. who had been look
ing over the strangers shoulder, suddenly
exclaimed, what does this mean, sir -
Why, said the man, It means exactly this
Two years ago you refused your daughter to

than your barkeeper. You likewise dischar-
ged him. Since that time he has been south
and made fortune. He came here dressed

Of your daughter were still true to him.

From the Western Farmer.
COLOR OF THE BERkSIIIRCS.

We find that there is continued dspu,a,ior
going on in several Of our agricultural paper,
as to the original and legitimate color of the
Berkshire hog. At first view, it would seem
to be matter OF little moment VIVA, was tbs
color of the brute, provided he possessed al
all the necessary qualities OF good hog. b.,
this is moi so-It is an important thing, where
any animals, or variety Of animals, have at
tanned as high a place in the opinion OF
breeders, as the Berkshire hogs have done,
that every care should be taken and precau-
ton used by those who make "A business of
importing Il breeding them, for the purpose of
supplying their brother farmers, to have each
KIND IN their purity, that when man pur-
clases Berkshire, Woburn, a Grazer,
or Liverpool, he may be Certain that what
Is sold to him, is the thing he really wants.
Now color, we consider to be a distinctive
mark, and a prominent one too; aud as that
OF the Berkshire is so warm and so much dis.
patcd, 1t becomes Of importance to know
what his color really is. We presume that
there is no one in this country, and mos. as.
suredly no breeder in England of any note.

Inc complete Grazier' adds to this, that
another distinctive mark of this breed is,
that the best are without brlstles; their hair
is long and curl and from its rough an.

flesh; but in fact both are fine, and the bacon
is of very superior quality We might pile
quotation upon quotation, and go back to
still older authorities, but think it unneces-
sary. There is no doubt, that the only dis
tlnct and true color Of the Berkshire, always
has been and is still, brown and black, with
some white marks gene rally abou, the head
or legs; and that in ITS present highly i'm
proved state, its color approaches still more
nearly TO a black.

SHELTER ANIMALS FROM STORMS

SHELTER ANIMALS FROM STORMS
All domestic animals should be shc,cred
from storms, however hardy they may So
Many creatures will endure the severe cold
very well, but let them be exposed to rain or
snow which melts on them, and they will at
once draw themselves into as small COM
pass as possible, and look as though they
were reduced twenty-five per cent in their
value. They suffer severely from moisture
in cold weather, and if not properly protec-
ted, the consumption of more fodder, and
less thrift, and diseases in the animals, will be
the sad consequences. Every good farmer
will guard against these evils.
In stormy weather, cattle should remain
out only long enough to drink, and when put
into the barn the snow or water should be
brushed from them. Sheep should go out in
a yard in winter, and be much in the open
air, especially when many Of them are to-
gether, and do not occupy large space un-
der shelter; but they should have dry jack

EXCELLENT HINTS TO MECHANICS
There is so much trnth, wholesome advice,
and good sense in the following, which we
extract from an exchange paper, that we
cannot avoid giving ita place in our columns /;
Avoid giving long credits, even to your
best customers. A man who can pay easily
will not thank you for the delay, and slack

customer Tor subscriber] to dun sharply and
seasonabiy. A fish may as well attempt to
live without water, or man without AR, as a
mechanic without punctuality and prompt
ness in collecting and paying his debts. 1t
is a mistaken and ruinous policy to at,ompt
to keep on and get business by delaying col.

FOREIGN NEWS

The defeat of the British Ministry, by an increa-
sed majority, on the Sugar duty, is the chief nteli-
gence Of interest by the Great Western. The vote
was carried by some who usually vote with Minis
ters, but this occasion deserted, from an appre-
sion that tho taking the duty of Sugar would in
crease the slave trade.
Ministers do not resign or dissolve Parliament in
consequence Of this vote-being determined to make
the Corn Laws the test. The Tories, however
propose a motion declaring want OF confidence in
Mnisters-if the latter motion prevails, or If the
Ministerial proposition respecting the Corn Laws
fails there will be dissolution OF Parliament, and
4 new general election.
