quantity Of Seeds had been furnished bv

seeds which have been procured at the ex-
pensc Of the Government, mostly in for.

the genulness and purity of their respective
kinds. Some of them are entirely new
among us, but most are only new yarietie,
and some old standard sorts. We hone
they may have fair trial here, so that if

Be sure your Swine &c. are Watered.

In the Fall Of 1858, three fine Hogs
died which was fattening. One Of them
weighed about 200 lbs, and the other
two about 800 each. They we're we'll fed
and appeared to be in good health, and l
could not account for their dying. Two
were found dead, and the third was dis.
covered in stupid state, and died within
three hours time
Upon examination Of the hogs, there
was no blood to be found, but large
quantity Of water ran from each, and the
veins leading from the heart were filed
with water Of yellowi.h cast. The heart,
when cut open, was as clean and clear Of
blood as though rinsed out.
l have since discovered, to my entire sa-
tisfaction, that the person to whom the
watering Of the hogs vas committed, on.
tirely neglected his duty, and am confident
they died from the want of proper water
