LARD OIL-The new use to which
hogs lard has recently been applied, In
the manufacture of oil. and candles, equal
to the best sperm, is one of the most I'M
2ortant innovations of the age. The oil
can be well afforded at SO cents gallon.
factories have already been established
at the West, in ST. Louis, Cincinnati,
Lexington and Louisville. 1t is now re-
duceG to certainty that the hogs will
soon supply the whole demand for oil and
sperm candles. We say the aoto!e de-
mand because it is obvious that we can
grow land whales far cheaper lhaa we can
obtain the sperm whale from the ocean
The whales were becoming quite scarce,
and the hogs have timely stepped in to
supply the deficiency. The whaling bus
iness must ere long be abandoned, and the
whales may prepare for holiday

INDIAN MoRALITY.-The Jesuits some
time ago opened mission for the convef-
sion to Christianity of the Indians IN the
neighborhood OF the Rocky MOUNTAINS,
some hundreds Of miles from tbs frontiers
Of the United States, which would appear
to have been pretty successful, judging
from the following account, giving by The
Rev Father S.net, one of The missionaries,
OF the Flat Heads, tribs recently CONVEX,
ted -" The only prevailing vice tho.
founl amongst them was passion for
games of chance: it has since been unan.
imously abolished. Ga the other hand,
they are scrupulously honest in buying
and selling. They have never been ac-
cused of stealing. Wheoever any lost ar
ticle is found, it is Immediately sent TO the
chief, who informs the tribe OF the inding,
and restores il to the lawful owner. De

the women: a torked tongue, "a liar,
they say. is The scourge of a People. -
QuarreIs and violent anger are severely
punished. Whenever any one happens 10
fall into trouble, his neighbors hasten tc
his aid. The gaiety of their disposition
adds charm 10 their union. Even the
stranger is received as friend. every ten

is considered the most happy and in The
