THE CHOLERA AMONG HOGS.


The Buffalo Republic, referring to the malady
that has prevailed among hogs in the Ohio
valley, says: aa
The same malady appears to have prevailed
extensively in the adjoining States. In Western
New York, especially, welearn it has been very
fatal, but is now over. In conversation with
one Of the most extensive dealers in the neigh
bOrhOod, day or two since, ne informed es
that about six weeks ago he lost about 400 in
very short space of time. A distiller in
Jordon, during the month of September, lost
fourteen hundred, which cost him in addition
over 81 600 to have them buried In Roches-
ter, at all the principal points, and even among
the farmers, the mortality has exceeded any
thing ever before heard Of a butcher in this
city not long since, purchased FIVE hundred
dollars worth Of fat hogs, but they died SO
rapidly on his hands, that he scarcely realized
S75 on his investment.
In this quarter the disease appears to have
been confined to no particular class of hogs,
but to have prevailed indiscnminately among
"all sexes, ages and ondition"-corn-fed, still
fed and grass-fed, have Jared alike. The fatest,
however, seem to have been more susceptible
than others. When first attacked, the hog
was noticed to fall rapidly away. Soon tho
skin about the neck and ears assumed a pur-
plish hue, and generally in about an hour the
hog was dead, after which the whole carcass
became purple. The lungs, liver aud kidneys
on examination, were found to be like sponge
in appearance, but nothing like the symptoms
of cholera has been noticed in this vicinity
In the neighbOrhood of Cincinnati, it is said
that the disease appears to have assumed the
form of erysypelas in the throat
All efforts at finding remedy which should
prove the least efectual in staying the ravagss
of the epidemic have thus FAR failed. In this
quarter, however, the disease sppears to have
ceased its ravages some four or five weeks ago;
but it is not impossible that Il will return agair
another season, and in the meantime its origin
and progress should be investigated. Whether
the subject is Of sufficient importance to call
for legislative interference in regulating the
sale Of pork we shall not attempt to decide.
We presume every person will consult with
his own taste IN pork in this respect.
We regret to learn that this fatal disease has
prevailed more or less in this vicinity Y, and
has not yet ceased Its ravages. Mr.. Hurst, the
Superintendent of our county poor-house, IN
forms US that they have lost large namber
of hogs BY itat that establishment, during the
past year, and they have continued to die, up
to within the past fortnight. They usually
die within three days from the first attack, the
disease always proving fatal coIa1hy Gait

THE STUDENTS REVERE.
BY FRANCIS NJ. CLAYvILLE.

The Student toiling ore the midnight lamp,
there is no scene more eminently beautiful,
tie charm thrown around such a scene cannot
be described in language, nor represented by
the genius of the artist. He plods on his
way, regardless of ;he Syren's song, that would
allure him from his ennobling pleasures. As
he reads the ponderous volumns of history. he
opens his eyes on the glory of the creation
he sees the morn brighten the eastern heavens,
the day treads on the heel of night, and the
sun rises to clear away the darkness. He
sees in the garden of Eden, Adam, of God
like form, and Eve of angelic form, with
golden tresses waving over a neck of alabas-
ter; the most exquisite beauty is everywhere
abroad, the varied grove, the palmy hillock
and the fowery vale the cascade and the
crystal fountain, the luxuriant vine and the
rose without the thorn. They stand together
in the image of God, Eve is beguiled, and
Adam is induced to eat; tear glistens in hi:
eye at the fall of man. Again he sees, as the
curtain is rolled back, the gorgeous temple o
the wise man Of the East, the domes reach tC
the clouds, mighty columns support the lofty
pile, the vaulted ceilings are adorned witt
rich coverings, the spacious halls are clothed
in purple and gold, the sacred incence rises Il
heheavens, and Solomon seated on his thrOn
of ivory. lie sees the great City of Bal ylon
her towering walls, and glittoring gates blaze
ing in the sun.
He sees the glitter of Belshazzcr's feast
and fair woman blushing at the praise of thei
own beauty; then wealth, YOUTH and beauty
pass away and the Mede is on the throne.
Now thelearned Athenian, therigid Spartan
and the proud Roman move across tht
stage he sees the temples of Athen and th
edifcies of Rome he sees their decline anc
fall. And the barbarians bury all that re
mains of civilization.
The middle ages pass ike a mist before hi
eyes, after a few centuries the light begins t
glimer, and becomes brighter and brighter, til
: at length the clouds break away and the da,
appears.
The feudal subordinatiOn passes away, an,
society is freed from the anarchy of the darl
ages.
He sees band of pilgrims cross the might
, waters, and land upon the rock bound coas
of America
: Through mountain and vale and over plain;
he sees the laden train, and steam conyerte
into a motive power rivers and lakes, ar
covered with floating palaces.
He sees man master the thunderbolt of Jov
!. and the lightnings do his bidding

am desirous of making q cistern on high
and dry land with a hard clay bottom. In such
a caseisa brick wall necessary, and if so, would
four inch one suffice How many coats
ought the cistern to have (of cement) and how
thickly put on CS. R. NyacE, NJ Y.
If the soil is hard, dry, and compact so as
to admit of smooth excavation with pretty
steep walls, the cement may be applied di-
rectly to the earth. Three coats will be neces-
sary; the first, an inch or more thick, the two
others as thin as can be properly applied. The
only disadvantage of this mode is, the upper
part being the widest, shaped like kettle,)
longer, stronger, and a greater amonntof timber
is needed to sustain the earth covering. Hence
the advantage Of a stone or brick wall, which
may be contracted towards the top, and require
but little timber for the cover If the earth
is compact, and is packed solid, without a cir
cular brick wall four inches thick would answer;
for acting as an arch, the earth without could
not crowd it in, and the earth without would
prevent the liquid contents from bursting it
We have preferred, however, to build walls OF
stone nearly or about foot in thickness con-
tracing them towards the top Country Gent

TRAINING A BALKY HoRsE-In India, where
a horse becomes stubborn and refuses to move,
instead of whipping him, as is our custom, or
setting fire to straw under the belly as practiced
in England, rope is attached to his fore-leg
and one or two persons go ahead and pull at
the rope. 1t is said this starts the most .efrac-
tory horse. The MicHgaa Farmer says a
horse became balky in Detroit a short time
since and neither whipping nor coaxing could
make him stir. 4 rope was fastened aronnd
his neck, and he he was dragged a short dis
tance by another team, but this did not effect
a cure. The rope was then taken from his
neck, passed between his legs, and fastened
firmly to his tail. In this manner he was
dragged short distance, and when the rope
was taken of, the hitherto unruly animal was
perfectly obedient to the will of his master.
We have seen this method tried, with similar
results.-Tdruer and Mechanic.

WINTER Is DYING.


Old Winters bretth is growing weak,
His pulse are beating low;
The vital spark, no more viii seek,
His bosom crest with snow.
He bound the earth with iron bard,
And froze the river and the land;
lie battled with the skies,
Then made Parhelions rise.
The earth for three months long
Hath lain dormant in his power;
But now is strugglin glion strong
To restore its lovely wreath of flowers.
His coat Of woolly white
Is growing warm and thin;
As the sun with rays Of light,
Shut the monster slowly in.
Now, who would moan his happless fate,
Or shed kindred tear,
Naught but his burial we await,
And smile at his empty bier.
His corpse we'll interr deep,
There in oblivion let him sleep;
He'll harm no more, this feeble frame,
Nor rack his mind with gingling fame.
