THE Hoe DIsTEMPER.--The disease
among hogs, which has been so fatal at the
West has made its appearance in Massa-
chusetts within the past few weeks. The
Boston traveller says:
''In several towns in this vicinity, as we
are informed, about seventy five hogs have
died with great rapidity after they were at
tackled. One lot of twenty-three was sent
from a town in this region to Henniker, n
H., few days since, and at last accounts
all but two were dead. In some cases the
hogs are well at night, eating their food as
usual, but are found dead in their pens
the morning. As yet the mortality is oti-
ceable more for its singularity and sudden
ness than for its extent. No remed,' has
yet been discovered for the disorder
IT WON'T PAY.-A young man meets a
silly. selfish. stylish, gay, rafting. extrava-
giant girl at party. She has already be-
come an adept in Irritation and is excessive
ly fond of admiration. Her fine eyes soon
make conquest of him. Probably after
wasting unheard-of sums in boquets and
other more costly gifts, he ventures to pro-
pose, and is told with feigned establishment,
that she never thought of him -" except as a
friend" Possibly he receives favorable
reply. especially if he is good looking and
rich. or if the lady is growing old; but if he
marries, he soon discovers that fashionable
coquette makes but sorry wife, and still
more worthless mother. Such things piH
not pay.

overdose will cause nausea and sometimes
vomiting, but will produce no other unpleas-

king dose that will rest well on the stomach.
The precise dose for each individual patient,
or the number of times to be taken during the
day, will depend very much upon the temper
ament of the patient. As general thing, the
patient should commence with a small dose,
increasing in amount until nausea or depres-

unfinished doses until the desired effect is pro-
duced

In the treatment of bilious fever, iaundice,

invaluable.
