"Large and Respectable"

Some years ago, when Pike county, Pa.
contained only 40 Whig voters she has over
900 now, good men and true, "a meeting
was held, which numbered FIVE persons
The gentleman called to the Chair, was over six
feet in height and stout in proportion, and the
Secretary, though less in physical size, was a
fall man in point of good morals. The pro-
ceedings, which were entered into with a com
mendable spirit of unanimity, were duly noted
down, and at the conclusion, the Secretary was
requested to read his minutes for the appro-
val of the meeting. He rose and commenced
=" At large and respectable meeting of the
Wing citizens of Pike county
Stop, sir" interrupted the Chairman, +" it
is hardly proper to describe by such phrase
a meeting of only five persons"
Oh, yes it is perfectly proper" said the
Secretary. " You see, sir, you are Mrge and
| am sespectaJ&e-that makes 1.-THE language
hits the case to hair"
The Chairman 'cayed in'-the voting crowd
of uaec unanimously sustained the Secretary
and, shortly afterwards, the public prints
duly announced, to the delight of one party
and the chagrin of the other, that " a large
and respectable meeting of Wings had actual
" been held in Old Pike-the very Gibralter
of Pennsylvania Locofoeoism
The moral of this is, that the meaning of
the phrase large and respectable" when ap-
piled to political gatherings should occasion
ally, to prevent misapprehension, be taken in
a Pickwickian Sense.-SNSer Register.

Summer pruning is sometimes necessary in or
give form and proper direction to nursery trees
and standard trees may need thinning in order to
expose the fruit to light and air. Grape vines may
need thinning, owing to want of sufficient prun-
ing in the spring or at last fall But in pruning
trees thoroughly, particularly if large limbs to
be cut off, it is best to defer the business till the
last of July, August or the former part of Scptem-
Der.
Late in summer and early in autumn, the bark
does not peel as it does early in summer, when it
often starts from the tree which is injured, by
going into trees and stepping on limbs with hard
shoes The sap will ooze out of some trees early
in summer, which not only injure them generally,
but it often causes the wounded part to decay.
But in late pruning, the wood when the branches
is cut off becomes sound and well seasoned and
though 1t may not heal over readily as when
cut early in simmer or spring it remains in heal
thy state. This is the main consideration. What
would it avail for surgeon to heal wound at
the surface while it was fostering at the bottom
Late in summer and early in fall is not only the
most favorable for the benefit of the trees,
but it ia a convenient and pleasant seasen for the
operation.

Penalty Imposed Under q late Law

Yesterday, Alderman Clark gave judgment
against an individual for the penalty of s72,
being the aggregate of fines of fifty cents each
imposed for violation of the law passed in
ls49, for the protection of the manufacturers
and venders of mineral water and other bev-
erages in bottles. The defendant was found
to have in his possessions one hundred and
forty-four bottles, belonging to another person,
and the penalty of fifty cents upon each bottle
was imposed, making the sum above named.
The law in question gives manufacturers and
vendors of mineral water, &C., in bottles, after
complying with the provisions of the act re-
quiring the bottles to be marked and publica-
ton thereof made in the newspapers, the right
under warrant, to search any premises sus-
pected of containing their bottles, and to seize
and take them away forthwith. By supple
ment to the law, the decision of alderman in
such cases is final and conclusive.-N0rta H.

Strange Sale.

A German bought at late Custom House
auction sale of unclaimed bonded goods, in
New York, thirty y-two large packages, which
the auctioneer said were "supposed to contain
light house." The price at which the mys-
terious property was knocked down was S4O0;
and on opening the several parcels it has been
discovered that they contained the distinct
parts of light house, among which is large
copper wheel covered with curious devices,
and obviously designed for complicated ma
chinery. Other cases enclosed the lenses and
immediate apparatus of a lantern. The for
tunate purchaser of the package has already
been offered $1,000 for his bargain, which he
has declined. 1t is conjectured that the work
of art consisting of the different sections which
were sold together at the auction referred to,
was sent to this country as present from the
French to the American Government. The
lot was consigned to naval officer, and was
not claimed ON account of his death. 1t is
thought that the structure, machine, or what
ever it is that has turned up so oddly, may be
worth $4,000.

Among the acts adopted by the late Legis-
lature was one abolishing all laws for the Col
lection of Debt. Michigan has now in force
the most of the National reform measures
No Land Limitation Law has yet been enact
ed although the Homestead has long been ex-
empted. A number of mercantile firms and
dealers in Kalamazoo, since the adoption Of
the law relating to debt, have announced their
intention of publishing the names of all delin-
quints, being well convinced (as they say)
that no man of good intentions and honorable
principles will allow himself to be thus posted
before his neighbors and fellow-citizens.p -

A travelling correspondent of Eaeler's Mag
aeine, writes from Cincinnati, and thus de-
scrbes the economy by which the hog is used
up:
"What crocodiles were in Egypt, what crows
are in Bengal, or storks in Holland, pigs are
here, with trifing difference-their sacredness
of character lasts but as long as their mortal
coil; and this abbreviated without ceremony,
and from the most worldly motives. In life
the pig is free-is humored he ranges the
streets he reposes in the thorough fares he
walks between your horses legs or your own;
he is everywhere respected; but let the thread
of his existence be severed, and shade OF Ma
homet what a change! They think in Gin
cinnati of nothing but making the most of him.
How many of his kind perish annually to the
cement the vast prosperity of this city, cannot
be told. About thirty years ago, when it con-
tanned only one-ffth of its existing population,
few bold spectators began the trade. Sc
lecting the hams and the sides of the annual,
they made picked pork; of the rest they took
small account; soon, however, the idea occur
red to one more accurate than his fellows,
that the heads and the feet, nay even the spine
and the yertebra might be turned to account
Trotters and cheeks had their partisans, and
! these parts look up in the market. About
/ this time the makers of sausages caught the
i inspiration, they found these luxuries salable,
and SO many pigs were to be slaughtered that
the butchers were willing to do it for nothing
that is to say, for the perquistes of the en-
trils and offal alone. The next step was due
to the genius of France. A Frenchman estab-
lished a brush manufachory, and created q
market for the bristles but his ingenuity was
outdone by one of his countrymen, who soon
after arrived. This man was determined, il
seems, toshare the spoil; and thinking nothing
else left, collected the fine hair or wool, dried
and curled it, and stuffed mattresses with it
but he was mistaken in thinking nothing else
left; as yet little was done with the lard; they
invented machines, and squeezed oil out of il
the refuse they throw away. Mistaken mer
again this refuse was the substance of stear-
inc candles, and made fortune for the dis
coverer of the secret. Lastly came one who
could press chemistry into the service of Nam
mon; he saw the blood of countless swine flow
ing through the cutters of the city it was al
that was left Of them; but it went to his hear
to see it thrown away he pondered long, anC
collecting the stream into reservoirs, made
prusiate of potash from it by the ton. The
pig was used up?
