HIGH PRICE FOR HOGS.

Three drovcs ofhogs have passed through
this village this week, but the extraordina-
~ high price of SEVEN cents per pound has
actually prevented many from buying; while
those who were compelled to purchase,
have not bought as much as they intended
When will our people come to their senses
and raise their own pork! They suffer
themselves to be made the dupes of the dro-
vers every year, to the tune of many thou
sands of dollars, and grumble at the extor-
ton, but never think of preventing the evil.
We honestly believe that it would save to
our citizens one-half the money they now
pay to Kentucky and Tennessee, if they
were compelled to pay 10 or 10 cents per
pound to the droves.
We think it is bad policy to sell corn at
even a dollar bushel and buy pork at sew
en- cents for we know that 1000 bushels of
corn, fed out right, will raise 100 as fine
hogs as we have seen i'll any drove this year.
which. at 7 cents, would make them worth
81 800, or $50 per bushel for the corn ;
and when corn can be bought for 65 cents,
it decreases the price, in proportion, below
what we are then compelled to pay for drove
hogs LGUreRsrWe Herald.

CHRISTMAS TIMES.

As Christmas is approaching, we give, as usual
for our iayeniIe friends, faithful portrait of the
manner il, which Santa Claus comes to gladdcr
their joyous hearts:
Twas the night before Christmas when all thro
the house
Not a creature vas stirring, not even mouse
The stockings were hung by the chimney with
care,
In the hope that 81. Nicholas soon would be there
The children were nestled all snug III their beds
While visions of srgar-plums danced in thei!
heads;
And mamma in her kcrclief, and in my cap,
Had Just settled our brains for long winters nap;
When out on the lawn there rose such CHATTER,
sprang from the bed to what was the matter.
Away TO the window flew like FASH
Tore open. the shutters, and threw up the sash
The moon on the breast of the new-ialcn snow
Gave the lustrc of midday to objects below,
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,
With little old driver so lively and quick,
l knew i'll moment it must be ST. Mex
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
Aud hs whistled, and shouted, and called them
by name;
''Now, Dather. now, Dancer! now, Pramecr
now, Vixen!
On, Comet on, Cupid on Duud'r an Blixcn /!
On the top of TIA" porch, to the top of the wall /!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all ~
As DRY raves brfurc the Wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, .rou:.t to the
sky,
So up to the hous"-toP the ."'trscs thcy few,
With the sleigh full Of toys--;,nd St Nicholas too.
And then, in a tYvinkling, heard on the roof
The prancing and paving of each little hoof;
As drew III my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney ST. Nicholas with 4
bound
lie was dressed all in fur from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnishrd with ashes and
SCOT;
4 bundle of toys was flung on his back,
And Eo lookcd He a pcdlar just opening his pack;
Ills cycs--how they twinklcd his dnpleS how
merry,
His chcrks Were like roses his nose like a cherry;
His droII little mouth was drawn up like a bow
Aud the beard of his chin was as white as the
SNOW;
The stump of pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it cncircIrd his head like wreath,
lie had a broad face, and little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like bowl full of
jelly.
lie was chubby and plump, right jolly old elf,
And laughed when saw him spite of myself;
4 wink Of his eye and twist of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;
lie spoke not a word, but went straight to his
work.

USE OF SALT IN COOKING vEGE-
TABLES

Here is something everybody ought to
have known long ago. and that everybody
should now read and remember:
If one portion of vegetables be boiled in
pure distilled or rain water, and another in
water to which a little salt has been ad-
dcd a decided difference is perccptible in
the tenderness of the two. Vegetables
boiled in pure water are vastly inferior
This inferiority may go so far, in the case
of onions, that they are almost entirely des-
titutc of either taste or odOr, though when
cooked in sailed water, in addition to the
pleasant salt taste, they have peculiar
sweetness and Il strong aroma. They also
contain more soluble matter than when
cooked in pure water. Water which con-
tains 1910 of its weight of salt is far better
for cooking vegetables than pure water, be-
cause the salt binders the solution and eva
poration of the soluble and fiavoring princi-
pies of the vegetables Scientific Amcri-
can.
