SEVERE INJURY TO THE NEXT HOG CROP
The Louisville Journal of Monday has the follow
ing:
We see II stated that many of the farmers in
the northern portion of Kentucky have suffered
severely by tue loss of young hogs from the Sc
ton to drive most of the hogs to the mountains
that they may feed upon the mast. The recent
heavy snow-storm, which covered the tops and
sides of the mountains to the depth of ten or
t~ elve inches, drited to much greater depth in
the hollows, where the hogs naturally congregated
in search of the mast that had rolled down. The
snow having concealed their food from tn EN-, their
whole aim was to keep warm, and that by budding
together in heaps piles, the largest and faitet
beneath and the smaller pigs on top. By this
means immense numbors were overlaid or smother
ed to death-and those always the latest and most
valuable.
Those who were slowes. in removing their
hogs from the mountains lost heavieSt-the ever
age loss being about one third 1t is believed that
all would have been lost from hunger and aver
laying but for this mode of relief. 1t is estimat,
ed that oTer one thousand hogs have thus persisted
circumstance that will seriously affect the hog
crop of 1867 10 Kentucky, particularly if the sane
unfortunate result has followed in other sections
where the mast has been relied upon to carry the
stock hogs through the winter. The scarcity of
corn In Northern Kentucky is such that some
farmers killed off many of their shoats to avoid
the expense of wiDteriDg them, while hundreds
Of others sent their droves to the mountains.

chiseIed Grecian features have been but slightly
altered by the lapse Of time.

800 are on the sick list.

SAN FRANCIsco, Jan. 80, 1857.
The steamer Sonora arrived here
to-day at half past one z. NJ, from Pan
anna, with the mails She brings impor-
tant news from Nicaragua, which we
give in full below:
The Sonora left Panama on the 10th,
bringing the through passengers who
left New York on the oath December,
for San Francisco via Nicaragua, per
steamer Tennessee, which vessel broke
shaft the second day out and put into
Norfolk. The steamer James Adger,
chartered for the purpose, brought the
passengers to San Juan del Norte, but
finding, on arrival, the coun try and
all means of transit in the possession of
the invading army. the ship was sent to
Aspinwall, whence her passengers were
conveyed to Panama, by railroad, and
embarked.
From the latest dates and most relia-
bic intelligence received at Panama from
either side of the Nicaragua Isthmus it
seems that Gen. Walker was in des
perate position, surrounded by the
enemy, and nearly the whole country
is in the possession of the Costa Ricans.
There was no sickness among the
Sonora passengers since their departure
from New York and New Orleans.
Since passing Cerros Island have en-
countered strong N. w. winds and very
heavy head sea.

California Steamship Company has or

in order to bring off such flgitives from

DODGING A DUN.

Some can scent dun at any distance,
and can dodge him effectively 1t is a
knhck acquired by long experience. If
the dun, however, by his experience,
becomes expert, the dunned stands
slim chance of escape.
We heard a story the other day of
Of Did Dir. G., of Portsmouth, which is
to the point, as regards amateur dun
ming; for there is a wide difference be-
tween the amateur and the professional
DR.. G. was a man of great integrity
and worth, and his business habits were
on the square. exacting everything that
was his own and paying every man his
due. He held a note against gentle
man of Hampton for some considerable
amount, and wherever he met him the
Doctor was ready, note in hand, for the
payment of an instalment. 1t became
at last an agonizing dread with the
debtor about meeting the Doctor, partic-
| ularly at the time when troubled with
a disease known in the financial parl-
ance as shorts But whenever he
met him the Doctors dun would be an
ticipated by his debtors movement for
his pocket book, and frequent payments
were made without seeing the note at
all. He knew that the doctor was hon
est, and that it would be all right, and
several payments were thus blindly
made.
A great dearth of funds made him
more shy of meeting the doctor, and as
he passed through the town his eyes
wandered in all directions to catch
glimpse of his dread and avoid him if
possible. He succeeded for while,
and out generated the old man several
| times; but the fate does not always fa-
vor the brave, and the doctor, from a
distant position, saw his victim tie his
horse to a post and enter store. He
made al the haste he could, and entered
the store just as his debtor lodged be-
hind a rice cask.
Didn't | see Mr.. - come in here?''
asked the doctor.
"He did come in here, sir" said the
shop-keeper, "but he has gone some
where now"
The doctor said he was not in hurry,
and could wait as well as not; he saw
his horse at the door, and thought he
would be back before long. The man
remained hid and the doctor waited a
long time. At last he went out Short
y after Mr.. - himself went out, and
Eas just stepping upon his wagon when
dhe doctor darted at him from door
way.
"Well, Mr.. - said he, "you
needn't dodge me any more. That note
has been paid up these six months, and
have been trying to see you that ]
might pay you back twenty dollars that
you overpaid me-"
