INTERESTING TO PORK EATERS.

wrong:
The wisdom Of the jewish law which pro.
hibits the usg of pork will soon be acknowl.
edgde by eiifational beings. That swine are
afflicted with scrofula and tubercles, we have
repeatedly shown, and every killer Of hogs
well knows it; the indigestibility of the flesh
is acknowledged, and, if people were enlight-
ened, the hog would be raised for his fat alone.
This is available in all cases instead of whale
and other FISH oils--s few excepted ofthe finer
kinds for eating. Mutton and beef, il our
farmers ever hscame enlightened, may pro6ta-
bly, take the place of the hog and would add
greatly to the health and dignity of the farm
ers household Hog hnsbandry is debasing
The influence of pork eating on the farmer is
degrading. Good husbandry would furnish
others facts for the farmer, to say nothing ol

AAsEsT on CHARGE CT MuRDER.-On
Friday oflast week, Samuel ueilner, charged
with being the murderer of Miss Bavor of
Berks county, was arrested at Minersville,
and on Saturday taken to Reading An ex-
animation Of the prisoner wac to lave taken
place at Reading on Tuesday. The Reading
Press says that witness named kGntncr
deposed that Heilner came to tho tavern, of
which he, (Kahtner) was barkeepcr above
Mohrsvil,e, on the 7th or 9Th of October,
and that HeilneF esid he had been below on
a secret expedition, aud that Kantner should
not mention TO any one that he had been ut
Mohrsville, particularly to Mr. Meyer. A
number of finger rings were found in the
possession Of Aeilner, which we're supposed
to have belonged to the deceased. 1t is al
legged further, that Miss Bavor nad the ac-
cused were present at church cousecration
in Hamburg short time previous TO the
murder, and he wished to accompany Miss
Bavor home, Shch she refused. Heiluer
then behaved radely, breaking her fan, and
something was said by him that he woulj
yet succeed. Heilner alleges that on the
day Of the murder he was out cunning with
number Of friends near Minersville while
Mr. Spohn, of Pottsville, sUears positively
that Heilner and Baetzel we're at his hotel
