Hoe Wharf.-The Western part of Jersey
county in this state, ut the latest accounts,
was in state of civil warfare, occasioncd by
the residents Of the prairie driving their
swine into the woods to feed upon the nuts
and acorns which are there in abundance,
against the wishes OF the residents Of that
section. The parties are designated 10y each
other with the sobriquets OF 'swamp dogs"
and prairie wolves" 1t appears that the
hog, ascrs Of the prairie, owing to the scar
city and high price of corn on the one hand
and the almost unlimi,?d amount of mast
to be found in the woods, on the other, have
thought prudent, if not absolutely nccessa-
ry, TO avail themselves Of the proiusion
spread out on every side by the God of ma
nrc. Many of the hog owners also own
timber land, and though herdsmcn arc sent
to take care of the stock, the migratory ha-
bits OF the animal cannot well be restrained,
and, AZ q consequence, they treSpass on the
rights OF others. Already hogs have been
shot, ducls reported and the matter has
been brought before the courts.

SHERIFF SALEs.--Any one at all familiar
with the statute in regard to Sheriff Sales,
will readily admit the urgent necessity of at

given through the columns of some country

it, Instead of putting mp two Dr. three in.

Scsscd and with firm and steady tread
Glad in q white gown and cap, he addressed
with firm voice the crowd for more than
thirty minutes. His dying declarations were
in substance the same as those uttered by
him when sentence was passed upon him.
lie reiterated his innocence OF the crime Of
wilful murdcr--decared that he knew not
how his wife was killed-exprcsscd the hope
that as Christ was cruciticd for all, he was
crucficd for him, and by the belief that he was
forgiven by his God.
After the cap was drawn over his eyos,
and he knew not what instant he would be
ushercd into eternity, he again for ten min
utcs addressed the crowd in n firm distinct
voice, and admonshed them to beware ofin-
toxication, the cause of his misfortune and
the curse oflishfe. Weighing some $50 lbs,
and having been given fall of SIX feet,
upon the removal Of the trap.door, he died
almost without strugglc-his neck seeming
to have been stretched near four inches.-
