SWINE AND SHEEP.

Tie improred breeds FIR Pork md Hutton
We refer the reader 10 a communication il
or last number, in which the writer questions
i.Ie great exeliency that has been ascribed 10
ihc Berkshire hogs, and the great superiority
that is now claimed for the mutton Of the
South Down aud CotSwold sheep.
Two wears ago when the subject of stock
Was discussed at the Agricultural meetings
held at the State House, the subject of Berk-
shire hogs came mp for consideration, and it
was plainly shown that they were inferior to
other kinds generally, as they were deceptive
ia their appearance and did not cut up well ::
that dealers would not pay so much for them
as for other hogs, and the difference was so
great as TO be an important item in profit or
loss. as the case might be.
We have made particular inquiry of proyis-
ion dealers in Faneuii Hall Market, as to the
Vlue OF Berkshire hogs and South Down NUT
ton They all give the same account Of the
berkshire hogs; that they are inferior to any
other kind brought to this market, having too
large proportion of lean meat. The sides
are nearly half lean. A Berkshire hog, say
some dealers, weighing 400 lbs, will not cut
more than half so thick in fat as other hogs
of the same weight. Besides these object
lois. it is remarked by some that the flesh is
more oily. and inferior in quality. They will
noi sell in this market for so much as other
pork by 50 cents on hundred pounds, which
is as important item. They are held in low
estimation in this section, though some per-
sons think that they may be valuable in form
ING cross with other breeds. In some 9TH
er parts of the country they stand higher in
The estimation of farmers; whether it is owing
TO their not having other breeds so valuable 10
compare with them, or TO their great name
sustaining them, against their inferior quail
hes that are not yet sufficiently known, or ow-
ing to their being in reality better than they
are regarded here, we do not know.
South Down mutton is brought TO this mar
hct by most every British steamer. The car
caSer weigh from 60 to so lbs, and sell at re-
,ti for about 10 cents a pound-the same
nice as our native mutton OF the same appear
ice. One dealer says that he cannot sell
South Down mutton for any more than our
l'iivc sheep, even to those who have tried it
a1t he thinks it is little better in flavor: and
he remarks that the South Down sheep fatteu
more readily. Another dealer says about the
>'.ae as to fattenins, but he thinks that our
l''iye sheep are more juicy in their meat,and
ne favor Is preferable to that of the South
Down. and if the latter ever sell for the most.
u ii owing to the name, not to the quality OF
he meat.
The mutton of the Merinoes is a little in
mo: to the other kinds we have named, be-
inS more close and solid, and less Juicy. The
native breed with one fourth Merno, sells A.
'71t as well as all native. Some ofthis kind.
a2' some pure native, are sometimes brought
90 tnis market, weighing 100 lbs. or re.and
u as high as any mutton brought to this mar
-1t. The COtswold mutton is not known

AWFUL SITUATIoN.-A notorious tipler,
(says the Boston Courier) not forty miles
from Boston returned home last washing day
with jug of rum, and pretty well 'corned'
besides; and staggering into his wife's domain,
mistaking a tub of well warmed water for n
settee, suddenly settled himself into it, and
became fast prisoner. In this predicament
he called Justify for Nabby. His ''gude wife"
seeing his deep interest in her affairs, seized
the jug, danced around the philosopher
ing the contents over his head, disreg arIing
his beseeching appeal of ''Nabby, save it
Save it, Nabby." to which she replied, $50
it, Joe-long life to your honor" &c.

WHERE IS GOD

No; in the rich saloon,
Not in the crowd ed hall,
Where miril prepares her gorgeous feast.
And reyslling footsteps fall.
Not in the sparkling wine,
Not in the banquet song,
Whose thrilling symphonies entrance
The midnightfestal throng.
Not in the breath that comes
To fan ambitions flame,
Not in the costly gems that gid
The coroneI of fame.
Not where polluting Sin
Hath set its fearful blight,
Where doubts, and fears, and cankering cares,
Veil Heavens eternal ghi.
But in That blessed hope,
That cheers liie's weary way
That IFS our sinking spirits up,
And points to endless day.
In the pure contrte heart,
The humbly offered prayer,
The faith that owns his boundess love,
Orr God dnells richly there.
