A WILD Hoe. A correspondent OF the Bos-
ton Post, gives the following account OF a wild
hog, which is running at large in Longmeadow,
Mass:
"This monster was sent from SMYRNA to this
country two years ago, present to gentle
man residing at Longmeadow. He is called in
that country Houk Galien; and is very much
dreaded by the peasantry, being of ferocious
disposltio9sa He is the ugliest specimen of a
quadruped That ever existed, or ever will exist
His body is totally covered with thick and coarse
bristles, about four inches in length, which rise
and fall at his discretion. He is quite large mea
surfing SIX feet tive and half inches from the tip
OF the snout to the tall and his girth around the
body being five feet three inches His eyes are
also peculiar, being both different in shape and
color to the native hog OF this country their COL
or being dead pink, similar TO the English rab-
bit, and the shape perfectly round. H. is very
wild and unmanageable, and it was with the
greatest dlthculty that he was transported from
Boston to Longmeadow, and on arriving at Fran.
ingham, he partially effected an escape by the
breaking OF the chain that bound him. On ARR.
wing at Longmeadow, he was placed in strong
pen, strongly and closely boarded, but notwith.
standing the watch that was kept over him, he
effected his escape about six months ago. by un-
dermining his pen during the night. Since then
ne has been running at large in the woods near
Longmeadow, and several parties have been out
endeaVoring TO shoot the monster for he is the
terror OF the neghborhood. He has afforded
good deal OF sport to the sporting characters in
that vicinity, (snd there is not a few of them)
but all their attempts have proved fruitless-he
has received shots, but his hide, like the hide of
whale, has resisted all the lead that has come
in contact with it''

Arrival from Oregon
Fort Kearn

Fort Kearny, Mo. Ter, Jan. Is, '4S.
Mr.. Thomas Glendy, of ST. Charles CO. Mo-,
arrived at this post last evening, having encoun-
tered and overcome all the dangers, privations
and difficulties incident to such a trip, at such a
season of the year, direct from Oregon City,
Oregon Territory.
Mr.. Glendy, with only one companion. left
Oregon CITY on the 23d day of September last,
and with the daring spirit Of bravery and en-
~terprise so characteristic of the hardy sons and
pioneers of the West, started on his distant and
p%erilous Journey to the States@over mountains
and plains, covered with snow, ~teianted only by
the wild beasts of the forest, and the still more
savage and hostile Indians.
This little company left Oregon with SIX
mules. Before they reached Fort Hall, they
lost, by death, all their mules save one, and they
were compelled to make use of him for the pur.
pose of packing their little stock of necessaries
and provisions, while they travelled on foot thr"
snow (as they represent III so deep in manv
places as to reach above their knees. AT Fort
Hall, they were disappointed in their expecta-
tons of procuring other animals, but nothl ne
daunted by difficulties, they again started on
foot, making slow and tedious progress, on ac-
count of the great depth of the snow, and their
being compelled often to take clrcnitous and
distant routes, to avoid falling in with roaming
bands of Indians, arrived here safely, with the
exception of badly frost-bitten feet.
Mr.. Glendy is a practical woodsman,and well
acquainted with Indian character,a and was there
by enabled to make the entire trip without see

lips. Such were his feelings, when one night
at the house of his intended father-in-Iaw, a par-
ty of young people were met to celebrate a GER
tain festival: Several of the young lady's re-
jected suitors were present. Forfeits were one

with a tremor that shook every fibre of his flame
with a modest grace, he put to bis lips the soft

game went on. One of her rejected suitors,
who was of a merry unthinking dispositions was

in the midst ofa convulsive laugh, and the Count
had the modification, the agony, to see the lips
which his delicate love would not allow him to
to touch, kissed with roughness and repetition,
by another man, and one whom he despised.-
Without q word he rose from his chair-left the
room, and the ~house,-and by that good ndtar.

THE Coon -NATuRED KIss.-An Austrian no.
bleman; one of the handsomest and most accom-
plished young men in Vienna, was passionate
ly in love with a girl of almost peerless beauty.
She was the daughter of a man of great rank
and influence at court, and on these considsra-
tons, as well as in regard to. her charms. she
was followed by a multitude of %suitors. she
was lovely and amiable, and treated them with
an affability which still kept them In her train,
although it was generally known that she had
showed a prediction for the Count, and that
preparations were making for their nuptials.-
The Count was of a refined mind and delicate
sensibility he loved her for herself alone-for
the virtues which he believed dwelt in a beauti-
full form. Like a lover of snch projections he
never approached her without timidity, and il
he touched her a FIRE shot through his veins tina,

CHOLERA IN NEW YORK We are informed that
a case Of cholera, resemb ling very much the
Asiatic cholera, occurred at one of our hotels IN
Broadway, on Friday night last. There was some
doubt among the physicians whether it was the
real cholera asphyria or not but at all events,
bore great resemblance to it, Happily, however,
the patient recovered, through judlcIous medical
treatment.
II quite immaterial whether this case was
really one of thora aspnyr,a or not but 1t is full
time that the public and the corporate authorities
became really alarmed on this subject 1t IS raging
with greater or less extent in England and Scot
iand, and may break out in New York at any mo.
ment. What dreadful ravagos would il not COM
INIT among us, in the present awiuy dirty condi-
ton Of our streets' The city is as filthy, If not
more 80, than 1t ever was, and on the heads Of the
Common Council be the responsibility, in case this
scourge break out in our midst, and send tenth,
or fourth part of population to their final
account. They are certainly Justly chargeable
with neglect for allowing the streets to remain in
the very dirty state In which they have been for
some time past

THE ELECTION OF REcoR DxR.-There are three
candidates before the people of New York for the
Office of Recorder, viz, Frederick A. Tamadge,
John b. Scott, the present incumbent, and Lorenzo
B. Shepard, each of whom, we believe, Is compe-
tent to discharge the duties, in case OF his election
We had hoped that, at least far as this city
was concerned, the coming election would not be
characterised with the dsgraceful assaults on pr-
vate and public character which have marked
preceding ones. In this hope we have, however,
been deceived. The opponents of Mr.. Talmadge,
we regret to see, have made furious onslaught
on him; and if one half Of what is charged against
him is true, he is not suitable person to be elect.
ed to that responsible office In fact he is filter to
be sent to the State prison for his natural life than
to sentence others TO that place We rather think,
however, that they have overshot the mark In
their accusations against him, and that IN their
efforts TO persecute and lnjure him IN the estima-
ton of the public, they will influence. more votes
in his faver than he would probably receive in case
he had been let alone. But we do not see the ius-
tce of these accusations against Mr.. Tallmadge
We have known him for great number of years,
and we satisfied that he is no worse than the
rest of the world and certainly better than gre
many. Why abuse him at all I? Why not abuse
the convention which placed him in the position
in which he now stands before the public He
has not assumed that position of his own volltion,
further than by accepting the nomination rendered
TO him by the convention; and If any one Is to be
blamed for his now occupying It, it is the conven-
ton, and not him.
This abuse, however, confirms us in the opinion,
.hatbefore long, these nominating conventions will
be abandoned entirely; and the time, we think, will
arrive when candidates Tor all Offices will be
selected by the people themselves, not because of
their influence among the wire pullers, but because
Of their own merits. Things are rapidly coming to
this point. and the sooner nominating conven-
tons be dispensed with, the better it will be for the
public at large, and for the interests of The country
As to Mr.. Tallmadge, the gross and brutal attacks
on his character, put forth by pretended morasts,
will most probably be the principal element of his
success.
