Native Arkansas Hog.

The attention OF the northern and eastern
portions of Amerca, is respectfully called TO
the very peculiar qualities of the Native Ar
kansas Hog; and notwithstanding many
different species of hogs are now known,
there is, perhaps, none that possess so pecu-
liar quality as does this swine of Arkan-
sas.
He was discovered as early as the nine
teenth century in the first settlement, in the
southwestern portion of the State, and was
Immediately adopted into their llocks, where
he has constantly been kept, and is consid-
cred by the lords Of the soil of Arkansas, as
the best species of hog ever known, being
very large when thoroughly matured.
He weighs from six to seven hundred
pounds and is from three to three and half
feet in height, large boned and long bodied,
with quite long head and ears, and the
most peculiar feet imaginable, the hoof be-
ing round like that of the mule or horse, and
entirely destitute Of The usual fork, so com
mon in the hoof of other species of hogs
Indeed he appears to be a curiosity to those
unacquainted with his species, his hoo1s be-
ing very long, and extending unusually high
up his legs, tapering off very sharp at the
bottom. He is generally of reddish color ;
the hair short and thin, being finer than the
hair of most other hogs. 1t is believed this
hog would prove, where he adopted into use
by the farmers of the northern and eastern
portions of the State, the best species of hog
ever known.
The native hog of Arkansas is most nu-
merous in Pope and Yell counties, or on the
Magazine Mountain. 1t is hoped ne will be
more generally known in a few years.

The denomination who reject all names but
Christians, all creeds but the Bible and who
have had very rapid growth, mainly in the
Western Free States, have undertaken, as
many of our readers already know, the estab-
lishment of a College of high grade at a
beautiful rural location known as Yellow
Springs, Greene County, Ohio, and have al
ready raised about sSl50000 for its cndow-
ment. Part of the necessary buildings were
completed last Fall, when the College was
opened under the Presidency of Hon. Horace
Mann, late of Massachusetts,, whose services
to the cause of Common School Education
are widely honored. OF the Professors al
ready appointed, four are from the body
known only as Christians aforesaid, two
Unitarians, one Baptist and one Dutch Re-

A WATCH STOLEN BY A RAT.-One night
last week the oversecr OF a farm near Hunt
ly laid his watch on table in his sleeping
apartment, previous to going to bed Tow
ards morning he was aroused by crash of
something that had fallen and a rafting
sound, as of something being dragged along
the floor. lie Immediately got up, and found
his watch was gone. He lost no time in
pursuing the thief following the directions
Of the sound, when he came upon the watch
at the mouth of the rats hole, into which
the rat had entered, taking with him the
whole of the guard chain, and was only pre-
vented from taking III the watch by the case
springing open from the fall, which made it
require more room than the hole would ad-
NIT of. As it was, the rat did not seem
disposed TO lose his prize, but kept firm
hold of the guard when the owner tried to
pull it from him - London Paper.

SOUTHERN TIMBER GOING NoRTH.-The
great increase in ship building has caused
the employment of large fleet of vessels in
bringing oak and pine timber and plank from
the southern to the northern States. In Vir-
ginia, Georgia, North Carolina and Florida,
considerable tracts of timber land have been
purchased by northern ship builders, who
have erected saw mills and prepared much of
the timber they require near the spot where
it is cut from the forest, and then charter
vessels to convey it to the ship yards of the
north Great numbers of men from Maine
are at the present time engaged in getting
out this timber and plank, in all the South
ern States named above; and few also in
South Carolina. The Gardiner Transcript
says parties for this work are leaving Bath
every few days, and several weeks since, a
patty of l06 men started from Richmond
on the kennebec, where they had rendez-
voused for the same destination. Last week
party of 30 picked men left Gardiner for
Florida, and another party is about starting
for Virginia, both for the purpose of cutting
ship timber for the builders on the Kenne-
bee.
