years agO an elderly gentlemen of the White
House wrote his name at the bottom OF u
d ,cumen, which, no blandly assured the
nation, W juld be q panacea for oil their
political troubles. IL was an act 10 declare

crust uf bread OF cup OF water the mos,
cardinal Of patriotic VIRTUES.
The prescription failed Instead OF an
olive branch. the Fugitive Slave law proved
a iire-brand. Instead of promoting Peaes,
it has done nothing but ioment strife. The
quarrel il pretended TO " compromise y
blazed up more hercely the moment it was
put in the statute book. and has grown hot
Ter and hotter ever since. IL has drawn
thousands of dollars from the treasury,
while n has hardly returned n dorcn run..-

the presses that advocated 10, and crushed
the officers that enlorccd IL. IL has brought
down the gray hairs Of Its Presidential par.

VIslr TO THE ARoosrooK. We learn that
the Secretary of the board Of Agriculture,
Stephen L. Goodale, Esq. Of Saco. Is visiting
the different sections Of our State with view
Of obtaining practical knowledge Of the
capacities Of our State for agriculture, and
the kinds Of products adapted to our sill
lie proposes to mako tour in the eastern
section Of the State, spending some time IN
exploring the valley Of the Aroostook and the
tributaries Of the st. John. There Is in
that section tract Of land large enough to
make powerful State which will compare
most favorably with the western lands. We
trust that tho information which Mr.. Good.
ale will obtain, spread as it will be before
the State in his report, may do something
towards arrestinG the e1hausting drain OF
emigration to the west under which the
State Is now suffering.

Pigs--A Disgusting Disclosure.

The New York authorities have been In
yes,igating the pigseries of that place, and
and have made some horrible discoveries as
to what the pigs eat. The following Is ia
ken from long account in the Tribune,
merely Us specimen OF tho testimony. IL
t-lls part OF u story as to what was found
in one particular piggery.
Upon an examination Of his premises,
some OF the most disgusting sights were wit
messed. The law states that only four pigs
shall be allowed on one lot, while this man
had moro than one hundred in pen which
measured about fifty by one hundred feet.
A heap Of rubbish, which had been covered
by Oberlanders wife when she espied the
oi6cer, was found 10 contain large quantities
of the intostines Of animals mixed up with
other masses Of putrid matter. Alier this
was examined, the Captain and his men
went all around the premises, and every
where they went they found bones OF all
kinds, the carcass OF dead dogs, pigs and
cats cut up in pieces Tor the pigs 10 eat.
Their, were also dead rats in abundance
Upon examining more minutely everything
that was Sen on the ground, % was ascer-
tanned that rugs with dried poultiecs upon
them were among the lot. All kinds OF
filth aud garbage was mixed up together
with them. The vile OF this man, when
she was sharply Questioned, reluctantly con-
iessed that ali these things were given to
the pigs TO eat, and that they were led upon
nothing else than this kind of stuff, and
such other garbage as can be gathered
throughout the city. She said that her
husband was paid to take away from the
CITY Hospital al the ofill that is 10 be iound
in that place and that he removes at least
one load every day. This oaal is composed
OF all kinds OF matter. Ii was found to con-
tain the beds that were found unit to be
kept in the Hospital, FROM having been used
by the wort patients, and containing dan 1
rerous and contagious disease, all the old
clothes that have been used by the Physi- /
Clans and students, and the rags upon which /
the poultices were placed. Then there was
all tho other filth and DIAL OF the Hospital
in addition TO these, all mixed up toseth-
or.
Oberlander, upon being asked what he
did with the beds and rags which he car
ried away from the New York Hospital, said
that he emptied out the straw for the pigs
10 lie on. and then sold the ticks for making
paper. The rags also, after the swine had
eaten, were washed and sold for the same
purpose
