requesting information in regard to the pro-
priety of establishing system of telegraph

among other things, that he presumed five

now, only sixteen years subsequent to that
date, the average performance of Morse's in.
strument is 900 or 5000 letters in an hour
which is about thirty times the estimated a

facts connected with the introduction of
hogs by the colonists of Virginia, it is stated
that many Of them went wild, their progeny
becoming so numerous and dangerous that
it was necessary to hunt and kill them as
beasts of prey. Here in Western New York
the same thing occurred in the first years Of
settlement. In several Instances there
were boars among the progeny ofhogs that
had been domesticated, that were hunt
ed and shot because they'were as much fear

his children and his chiidren's children, she
rocks him softly away to grave, to which
he is followed BY blessing. God forbid
we should not call il beautiful It is beau
tiful but not the most beautiful. There is
another life, hard, rough and thorny, trodden
with bleeding feet and archng brow, the
! life of which the cross is the symbol; bat
tie which no peace follows this side of the
grave; which the grave grasps to finish be-
I fore the victory is won; and-strange that
it should be sO-this is the highest life OF
man. Look back along the great names Of
