Enftelling Of Hogs.

The following useful hints on the care and
management of hogs during the time Of fat
tening we extract from the american Farmer ::
Attached to the pen there should be good
covered shed, with a plank floor for them To
sleep on, or retire to, in wet weather. This
shed should be divided into two departments
the one for feeding n and the other for sleep
ing ir. Attached to it there shonld be an in
closed yard, its size TO correspond with the
number of hogs. Over the floor of this yard
spread to the depth of ten or twelve inches
rough material as marsh mud, wood mould. Or
any similar substance. Over this, twice or
thrice a week, SOW plaster or pulverlzed char.
coal. Every two years, after your hogs are
put up for fattening, clear out this yard and
put in an equal quantity of rough materials /;
continue tins practice until you have killed
your hogs, and you will be able TO obtain from
twenty hogs, if you keep the manure out ofthe
weather, or so pack 1t up in bulk ss TO turn
the water, enough to manure you as many acres
of land. This is not an exaggerated state
mcnt, and will not be considered by those who
reflect that the are nearly pounds of urea in
every 100 pints Of urine and that there are
nearly lbs. in his solid excretions that every
pound of urea is resolvabIe into SO much am
monia, and that this mixed manure yields in
every 100 lbs., ofpoIash lbs, ofsulphate of
Soda 10 lbs, of the phosphate Of soda, and of
lime and magnesla, 8lbs OF. We say that
those who reflect that the excrelion Of the fat
tening hogs are thus rich in the eementa food
of plants, will not consider what we say In be-
half ofthe value voidlng OF the hog as ma
nure, to be in the least exaggerated.
While the hogs undergoing the process
of fattenng, corn should be scattered daily
over the yard, to induce them to root for ii;
for, in so doing, they will turn lover and mix
the excretion with rough material, and thus
aid in the absorption ofth former by the lat
| ter.
The material from the hog yard. whenever
cleaned out should be thrown into bulk, In
such form as will turn water, and then COM
press with the back of the shovel, and have
fresh portions of paster,or powdered char
coal, added to il, and dust over the surface OF
J the heap.

Who CAN THE VILLAINS BE l-On Thursday
evening, the 10th inst ,af'er dark whilst return
ingto Staunton by the old iron works road Mr..
Caleb Cron,, of this place, was accosted by
man, w.o seizing his horse by the bride ask
ed-"which way are you travelling Are you
a drover?' To VIII ch Mr.. Crone made an
ewer by bringing down upon the robbers head
a heavy loaded whip, at the same time spurr
ing his horse upon hun together they brought
him down, and Mr. Crone made off to tn. house
Of Mr. Forr r. mot far distant. Mr. Crone was
unable to note the mans features, in consequence
of the darkness, but it is thought that he left a
mark upon his countenance thatit will trou-
BILE him TO conceal, for some time to Core.
Cannot these villains be caught2 We are

these highway marauders not stopped, in

the vicinity, would the neighborhood not be
justified in taking summary measures IN the

AN ExTRAoRDINARy ECuo.-They say that
most extraordinary echo has been discover
ed in part of the forest in the Rocky Noun
tains, and rumor says that one of the first ex-
periments tried there produced the following
audible sensation. Two gentlemen dressed
in black, stood at each side of the ravine
when the one on the right side called out, in a
sentorlan voice, "How do you do to day, Mr..
Van Buren, ?" After few moments pause
the echo returned, from the wrong ride, Il am
but poorly, Mr.. O'Conner | thank YOU
This is certainly, if the account can be relied
on, the most extraordinary echo in the world

The Tehuantepec Question.

The New York Herald brings cham
pion into the field claiming priority and pre-
cedence before both the GARAy and SLoo
grantees, so that this vexed question is like
ly to assume the aspect Of triangular fight,
or even take to itself more sides. The
Herald publishes documents showing that
in 1926 or '27, the Mexican Government
granted to Commodore DAVID PORTER,
and others, for services rendered in the
war of independence, the rights embraced
in the subsequent grants, which rights were
duly assigned by the Commodore to his
son, Lieutenant D. d. PORTER, L. States
Navy On this subject, the Herald re-
marks =
=" 1t is known that Mexico was largely in
debted to the services of Com. Porter, in
command of her navy, for the success OF her
war of independence against the Spanish
crown. 1t is also known that Mexico was
immensely liberal IN her promises of COM
pensation to the gallant commodore in land
and money; but we have still to learn that
either he or his heirs have obtained as yet
the first installment, principal or interest, of
these generous dotations And if it be
that the heirs of Com Porter have never
compromised, nor abandoned, nor forfeited
their claim, then we see no reason why it
should not take the precedence of both the
Garay and Sloo contracts. In any event
these papers in reference to Com. Porter's
pre-emption rights will magnify the appa-
rent necessity for the settlement of all these
conflicting claims to the Tehuantepec route
upon some original and comprehensive basis
which, while it shall secure to us and the
world all the required advantages of this
isthmus portage, will also do justice to all
parties concerned. And such a treaty will
be difficult piece of work.

CATTLE FOR CALIFoRNIA.-lt appears
from information obtained from other States,
that not less than two hundred thousand
head of cattle will be driven this year to Cal
ifornia and Oregon. Arkansas will furnish
her portion of the amount Several large
droves have been taken by the citizens Of
this place, and from Sebastian county, to
the land of gold besides several large
droves from other counties have passed
through this place on their way. We learn,
from a very intelligent and enterprising
merchant of this city, who has been long and
extensively engaged il the cattle trade, that
he furnished one man from California. eight
hundred head of cattle, and he is Of the
opinion that the price Of cattle has advanced
so per cent and that there is new field
open for the enterprising and industrious
farmers in stock raising. He is also of the
opinion that this trade will continue, and
that the raising of stock Of every descrip-
ton will become one Of the most profitable
pursuits of this section Of the State, and
the large amount Of money that will be
paid out annually for cattle, will serve as an
incentive to industry, and lead to the deyel-
opment OF the resources of Arkansas

The London papers have been calling at
tention recently TO the deplorable condition
of the London nilliners and mantua-makers.
Twenty-Five thousand young women, be-
tween sixteen and thirty years old, are work
ed in gangs.in ill-ventilated rooms, without
speech, without relaxation, without smile,
for eighteen hours ont Of every twenty-four.
In the gray Of morning they begin, and with
the allowance Of quarter Of an hour for
breakfast, twenty minutes for dinner, and
fifteen minutes for tea, they stitch till one,
two, and three o'clock in the morning
During the hours for rest they are cooped up
in sleeping pens, ten in room, barely large
enough for two. Not word Of ofrcmonstrance
i allowed. They may leave, indeed, but,
On the other side Of the door, starvation
awaits them, or fate still more dreadful.

rhe Darien shin Canal.

The Washington correspondent Of the n
Y Journal of Commerce, in recent letter
says:
The surveys of the Darien route for the
proposed canal, as made by Messrs. Gis-
borne and Forde. engineers of the com
pany, may be seen at the State Department
That work is certainly to be Immediately
commenced and carried through The e.
timated expense Of the work j. only sixty
millions of dollars.
The enterprise is under the management
chiefly of Sir Charles Fox, Of the house Of
Fox. Henderson & Co, of London. The
same house has taken the contract for the
great railway in Canada, and has offered to
take the contract for the road from ST. Lou
is to the southwest corner Of Missouri-310
miles.
The Darien Ship Canal il a work to be
executed before we shall have done talking,
and regulating and disputing about the Nj
caragua and Tehuantepec transits, and the
railroads across the continent through our
own territory.
"The Darien Ship Canal is to be forty
miles only in length that is, from port Is
cove to the port San Miguel 1t will be
l60 feet in width, and 30 in depth This
route now surveyed and selected was dscov-
cred only 50 recently as in 1851, BY DR..
Cullen; and, strange to say, this is to be
completed before the Tehuantepec transit,
so long explored and brought to the notice
of the world by the great Hnmboldt, and
surveyed, too, in 1851, by Capt. Bernard
The British government have given their
appreciation and countenance to the grand
enterprise. The company have most "a
vorable contract with New Grenada, and
this is further secured by treaty between
New Grenada and England. This route is
safe even from American fillibusterinc, if
while at the same time the Clayton Bulwer
treaty. which our Government seeks to alb
rogate, secures to the commerce Of the Uni
ted States all its advantages"

Late from TEXAS,

General Nj Hunt has left Galveston e.
New Orleans. in order to cndearor to secnro
the advantages Of united action in the r,;l
roads which will centre at Fulton. Ark's

Railroad from Galveston to that point in a.
nearly direct line as possible
The News says
by direction Of Professor Forshev. M
Upton Walker has now completed tie s,,r.

The New York Tribune - states that
the late accideut on the Camden and Amboy
Railroad viii cost the company some 20 or
$4,000. in damages, and that now ergross-
ing the public mind, will in like manner
put the New Haven Company to an expense
of to 100000. 1t is to be hoped that
all who are injured by Railroad accidents
will in future prosecute the companies for
damages, and the way to directors conscien.

A HoAx.-Several of the prominent Of
fce-seekers in Norfolk, Va, were cruelty
hoaxed on the Sd ult, by some wag in
Washington, who forwarded them very Of
fetal looking envelopes, but unfortunately
without the expected appointments. Some
of the expectants were sharp enough to dis
cover the trick, but others were loud in
their complaints against the carelessness of
the clerks, who had neglected, as they sup
posed, to enclose the documents in the en-
velopes.
