ADril Fools!

The Albany Register tells the fol-
lowing story Of an April joke:
Speaking of the beginning of A
priI, will any body tell US where the
custom came from, which makes eve
ry body try to fool every body, on
the first day ofthat capricious month?
We saw funny thing on the first
day of April down in Green street.
Did any body ever see any body
pass by an old hat on the side walk,
without giving it a kick? We do not
believe such thing ever happened.
Well, a wag seized upon this charlc-
-teristic, out Of which to make little
amusement, on "all fools day" So
he procured boulder, weighing some
twenty pounds or more, and laying it
upon the sidewalk, placed over it an
ancient weather beaten hat.
The first person who passed that
way, was a jolly, rollicking young
man, who went whistling Jordan is a
hard road to travel,' and as he came
opposite the hat, placed so tempting
ly in his way, he gave it rousing
kick, expecting of course to see it GO
skiying into the middle of the street
But it didn't move, and the kicker
picked up his toe in both hands, and
hoped about, and became emphatic
in his language, in a manner thai
made theperpetlator of the joke dodge
around the corner. In a moment
afterward, a gentleman came hat wa,
with a cricket club on his shoulder
f which he brought down with swooI
against the hat, expecting to see i
take hoist over the lamp post OF
f the adjacent corner. But it didn' t
while the cricket club as it rung a
gainst the stone, flew half wa y across
the street, and the striker fell to dan
cling about, blowing his fingers as
they we're cold, and using a goo'
many words not found in any religion
work Of the day. We staid long e
nough TO see dozen or more assaults
perpetrated upon that old hat tina
concealed the boulder, and every tim
the attacking party got the worst o
the bargain.

BREEDING FROM BROKEN Down AMI
DISEASED MAREs.-This is one great
cause why there are so many horses
Of unsound constitutions, SO ready to
break down, or take on disease from
overworking or other errors in man
agement. True,a horse Of the sound.
est and strongest constitution will
break down under bad treatment
such treatment as it pains US to wit
ness not unfrequently-but the pro-
duee Of an old diseased mare will
break down much more readily than
that of perfectly sound and healthy
parentage. For example, it is well
ascertained that broken wind can be
propagated, when either sire or dam
Is affected with that disease; and that,
when inherited in either case, there is
a very high probability that when any
produce of such diseased animals is
put to work, it will soon become thick
in the wind, and become broken wind
ed at an early age. It is poor poll
cy, therefore, to breed from an old
broken down or broken winded mare.
Better to shoot the old creature, and
breed from young and perfectly
sound mother. The colts will bel
worth enough more to cover abund-
antlA the difference in the cost.

Hoes FOR PACKING A good deal
of excitement prevails iu regard to
the next packing season, and hogs
are now commanding much attention
in all directions. That the corn crop
will be an unusually short one, no one
doubts. In some instances less than
half crop is calculated upon, an d
the opinion is general that it will fall
short throughout the West fully one
third.
In confederation Of the change
wrought by the scarcity of corn on
the prices of hogs We will mention in
stances that Of late have fallen under
our observation, in which parties and
drovers who last winter contracted to
sell droves Of 600, 500, and l 400
hogs to packers here at SO net. and
all along thought their business good,
have recently profered sums vary
ing from ST. 800 to 50, 500 to be re-
leased from their contracts. In ad-
dition, we learn that buyers are fire.
quently offering SIS net for hogs, to
be delivered within the packing sea-
son, and that large quantities have
been bought througho ut Indiana,
where corn looks we'll, and where
they are to remain to be Etted until
the packing season commences. :
