1 am your sincere friend and
Hog Cholera.

This disease among the swine, it appears, is common all over the west. We find in an ex change, description of the disease with for. mula for preventive and cure, which may be valuable to those of our citizens whose hogs have been attacked with this epdemc
 "Dr. George Sutton, of Aurora, Ind, has con- trbuted the results of a series of valuable ob servations on the epidemic disease which has prevailed so extensively among hogs for the two last seasons.
 It appears from these investigations that the disease in question has been developed almost cotemporaneOusly at several different localities. and that, when produced, 1t seemed to spread by contagon from one drove or farm to anoth- CT. Ii deseased hogs are placed amoog those that are healthy, the latter are commonly at tackled by the naady in period varying from thirteen to twenty days. Then, again, when healthy hogs are placed in pen adjoining one where diseased hogs are kept, the disease is communicated to them. It seems, also that healthy hogs will acquire the malady in uues- ton if they are placed in pen which had pre- viously been occupied by those that were dis eased.
 These are the results of several careful ob- servatlons and experiments, made at the distil- lery of the Messrs. Groofs, at Aurora. It fol- lows from this, that the spread of the disease may be prevented by each farmer keeping his hogs Tn the enclosure so arranged that they can- not come near those of another owner. The interposition of fence is not enough: some distance must intervene.
 As to the nature of the disease, it may be regarded as a matter settled beyond all doubt that it is not cholera Numerous examinations have been made, from which it appears that the disease consists essentially in dffuse inflamma- tion attacking various parts of the body; some- times the lining of the intestines and then produ- ing choleraic discharges sometimes the muscus membrane of the stomach and then producing vomiting; sometimes that of the throat or lungs causing great hurry and difficulty of the breath ing; and occasionally the tongue is swollen or protruded, or the skin is extensively infamed. In short, the disease appears to resemble erysi- pelas of the human subject, both in the man. ner of its propagation and the organs it attacks. | It also resembles very closely the epizootc diseases of cattle. In view of these facts. as well as of the results of some experiments which have been made in this State on hogs, and in Europe on cattle, we would advise far mers, on the first appearance of the disease, to make use of muriatc acid, arsenic, or the sul- phate of iron as preventive. Of the muria- tic acid, full-grown hog should get about 15 drops largely diluted with water, daily; or one- twentieth of grain of arsenic twice a day. These means, with careful separation of the diseased from the healthy animals, have proved very serviceable in preventing the spread of murrain in cattle, and. 50 far as they have been tried, equally efficacious in arrestng epidemic among hogs"

SHOEING HENs.-A friend of ours, boarding Tn the country, found his hostess one morning ousily engaged in making numerous small wool en bags of singular shape. Upon inquiry he was informed that they were shoes for hens, to prevent them from scratching The lady stated that It had been her practice for many years to shoe hens, and so save her garden. These
 shoes' q believe they are not yet patented) were of woolen, made somewhat of the shape oi fowls foot with case, after which it is clos ca with needle sewed tightly on, extending aoout an inch up the leg. Our friend observed that some of the biddies, possibly conceited with thelr new honors, appeared to tread as though waking on eggs-particularly was this the case when, from the width of the shoe, one would conceive that their toes might be a little pinch r A better plan is that invented down east.- iOu tie bits of iron, about the shape of wish o,Ohe, to the hinder part of hens leg, having ,ne portion not tied larger than the other The neh lifts up its legs. steps down on this rear ward projection, falls forward suddenly of course and is So rapidly assisted out of the part @ where 1t is desired she should not scratch. !, | he machine is called the Double Back Action nen Expediter. .-EuanswHs Enqsdy~.

or An exchange thus speaks of the purchase of Mt Vernon
 The price paid for Mount Vernoni is as follows. Two hundred thousand dollars for two hundred acres oi land, including the mansion gardens. landing place, and, above all, the tomb
 Eighteen thousand dollars to be paid on closing or contract, and the remainder of the sum in four bonds, payable in yearly miscellaneous, with the permission, after payment of the fist bond, to pay to Mr. Washington any amount of the balance due, in sums of not less than five tbon, sand dollars, which sums will be credited to the association, in this manner lessenine the in. tereSt.
 The title to the estate and possession is to be given on payment of the principal and interest and the privilege also granted of obtaining DOS. session, on thirty days notice, at any time the association may be ready to furnish the entire purchase money.
 This has been the price fixed by John A Washington ever since the proposition was first made. MT. Washington promises that if the association meets its engagements with him on the 1St of January, 1859, and thinks proper to pay, and does pay, the other deferred install- ments on or before the 22d day of February loo9, as they will probably be both willing and able to do, 1t Is his intention, in that case, to re- init to the association all the interest on all the deferred payments.
 At the earnest solicitation of Mr. Everett and other friends the southern matron'' has signed her baptismal name to the document announc. ing these facts It is Ann Parmelia Cunning ham, name henceforth always to be honored
 The Washington correspondent of the Phila. delphla Inquirer IS not very well satisfied with the terms of the Mount Vernon purchase. He says that MT. John A. Washington has got the but-end of the bargain with the ladies purchas- ing Mount. Vernon. In the first place he gets thousand dollars per acre for land not intrinsi caliy worth twenty. An hundred dollars per acre would be an extravagant price, All the buildings and improvements together are mol, worth five hundred dollars:
 He then retains possession and occupancy of the premises until the last dollar of the purchase money Is paid, and receives interest on the amount unpaid all the while So that he is to live rent free at the mansion, and, besides the outrageous price of two hundred thousand dol lars, gets perhaps fifty thousand more in the shape of interest If this is not traffickine il, the sacred dust of his ancestor, I know not what else to call it.

Extract from letter to his sister Mrs. Betty Lewis, at Fredricksburg, dated New York, Oc- tober llth, 1789:
 " A sort of epidemical cold has seized every body in this city, but it is not dangerous--most of my family have bad it, or are now laboring under it-htherto have escaped--and pur- pose in two or three days to set our tor Boston by way of relaxation from business and re. estab- lishment of my health after the long and tedi- ous complaint with which have been afflicted. and from which it is not more than ten days have recovered, that is since of the inrision which was made by the doctors for the impos- thume on my thigh has'been cured.
 Mrs Washington joins me in every good wish for you and our other relations in Fredricks sburg -and l am, my dear sister,
 your most affectionate brother,

vIOLETS-A SONG

VIOLETS-A SONG.
 BY VIM. B. LAWRENCE. Violets! Blue eyed pets,
 Of the sun and showers. Waving fair, In the air,
 Through the summer hours; Lift your eyes, Towards the skies,
 In the sun and rain; Soon yell fade, In the glade,
 Ne'er to bloom again. Always frail, Often pale,
 On slender stem; Moss and grass, Where we pass,
 Hide the fragrant gem. In the shade, In the glade,
 Thou art soonest found; Where thy leaves, Beauty weaves,
 With the flowers around. Violets! Lovely jets,
 Of the dewy hours; Bloom and fade, In the shade,
 Loveliest of flowers!
