"My domestic enjoyments have been per

"She made home the plensantest spot on

PROFIT OF FEEDING CORN TO HOGS.

II is estimated from experiment made by
S. b. Anderson, that 100 bushels Of corn
will produce I.O56 pounds Of gross incre SO
in the weight of hogs. 100 thrifty hogs
were weighed and put into a pen. They
were fed for 100 davs on MS much corn as
thev could eat The average gross increase
per hog for the 100 DAYS was 1875 hounds or
at the rate Of one and one fourth pounds
per day.
Il thus appears that one bushel Of corn
will produce gross increase o ten and one
half pounds Throwing off one fifth to
come at the net gives md one fourth
pounds of pork as the product Of one hushe
Of corn. lfsf pounds Of pork are made by
one husheI Sc pound of corn, one pound
of pork is the product Of t pounds OF corn
From an experiment of the Hon. H. J..
Linn, with 25 hogs, as reported in the Patent
Office Report for 1856, ct bushels OF corn
produced 100 pounds Of pork.
From the experience Of Hon. ". l.. Els
worth, reported in the Patent Office Report
for lS47, it appears 3 46 lbs Of cooked meal
made one pound ofpork. The experiment
was on n small scale

They were armed with long knives, and
fought desperately, Dade declaring that nc
was bound to go out dead or alive. heo-
pers, Waldo, Corwin, and Mr.. Elliott, enga-
ged him in a hand to hand fight, and It
was not until his arm was broken with

Information Wanted-Boy Missing.

William How'd, boy about twelve years
of age disappeared rather mysteriously on
the 26th of last month, in tho town Of Pits
ford, since which time he has not been heard
from. His disappearance we are informed
by the mother Of tho boy has caused consid-
erablo excitement, and many conjectures are
to his whereabouts.
About two months ago the boy went to
live with man by tho name of Sylvanus
Estes, near Locust Corners, about miles
north and miles west Of this place, with
whom he lived from that time until he was
missing. Mr.. Estes as we understand it, says
that the boy left there to 60 home (his home
being about mile west,) going without any
shoes or coat. He had on pair OF blue
drilling pants and striped shirt when he left
has light hair and blue eyes. He was
said to be we'll pleased with the place where
he was living, and there appeared to be
no reason why he should leave. There is is
strong supposition that things are not all
right. His mother is very anxious to lind
out where he is, and any information left
this office, or addressed to Elizabeth How'd,
Hudson, Mich, relative to the boy will DO
thankfully received.
Newspapers noticing his absence will re-
cieve the same compliment.

Lazy Boys.

A lazy boy makes q lazy man, just as
sure as a crooked twig makes crooked tree.
Who over yet saw boy grow up in idleness
that did not mako shiftless vagabond when
he became man, unless he had fortune
left him to keep up appearances! The great
mass of thieves, paupers and criminals that
fiji our penetentiarries and aims houses, have
come to what they arc by being brought up
in idleness. Those who constitute the busl-
mess part of the community, those who make
our great and useful men, were trained up In
their boyhood to be industrious.
When boy is old enough to play in the
streets, then he is old enough to be taught
how to work. Of course we would not de-
prive children of healthful, playful exercises,
or OF the time they should spend in study, but
teach them to work by little, as child Is
taught at school. In this way they acquire
habits that will not forsake them when they
grow up.
Many persous who are poor let their chill.
dren grow up to fourteen or sixteen years OF
age, until they can support them sScd nS longer, a7,
dren, not aeR having WIN ANY any idea of what work is
and having acquired habits of idleness, 60
forth to impose upon their employers with
laziness. There is responsiveness in oil Ia
Dor set before them, and to get it done, no
matter how, is their only aim. They are
ambitious at play, but dull at work. The
consequence is, they do not stick to one
thing, but short time; they rove about
the world, get into mischief, and finally
find their way to prison or to the alms-house.

aNight running is ruinous to the morals OF
boys in all instances. They acquire, under
the cover of night, au unhealthy state OF
mind; bad, vulgar and protane language; a
lawless and riotous bearing. Indeed, it is in
the street after nightfall that boys principally
acquire the education of the bad, and capac'
ity for becoming rowdy, desolute men,"

"with regard to future operations during
the present year, the directors had the adyan-
tage of Captain Harrison's great knowledge
of the state Of tho weather, fogs, Ice, &C.
in the North Atlantic, and his experience
enables him to say that the month OF octo'
ber and the first portion of the month OF No
vember, more particularly when the equinox
tial gales have been severe, are usually free
from any state Of sea or atmosphere that
would be injurious to an expedition like the
present."
