Strong MEN-A correspondent of the
Boston Journal has known man who in
feats of strength takes the wind out of the
Fails of DIR. Windship. His name is Wes-
cott, and he lived some time in Charlestowa,
where his performances Were well known:
He at one time lifted, on wager, four
teen hundred weight of pig iron, at the
railroad depot in Charleston, an account of
which was entered, at the time, upon the
books at the depot. While keeping store
N Charlestown, he often "ended up'' a
hogshead of Molasses. Mr. Wescott lived,
|Ome twelve years ago, in Bristol, r. L.,
sorking in the ship-yard at that place. One
Jay, while the men were enjoying their
tnooning" in the ship-house. the conversa-
ien turned upon the subject of lifting, when
"a was proposed that one of the strongest
men present should lift one end of stick
bf timber lying near. He tried in vain to
o it, when Mr.. Wescott raised it with one
hand, and did the same with three men
banding on the timber, and then requested
Rvery man present to get on, but they were
fatisfied, and awarded him the palm Mr..
Nescott was for number of years attach
10 the Charlestown Navy Yard, and died
ONE eight years since.

A WORD TO Pork EATERs.-It is
asserted that great deal of the pork con-
sumed for food is affected with the
measles; and the measles, again, are said
to be nothing but the Larva of the CON-
mon Tuenia tSolium, which, when taken
into the human stomach, develop into
the full-grown tapeworm, that elongated
monstrosity which preys SO insidiously
on its ignorant victims. As the larvae
seldom lose vitality in the process Of
cooking, they are eaten unconsciously in
large quantities. The moral of this
item is-if people ,rW eat the Jewish
abomination, let them first be sure that
it is not affected with the measles.

ALFALFA IN THE MoUNTAINs.--The
San Andreas Independent thinks it
would be an excellent experiment for
persons going into the sheep raising
business in the mountain regions, to In
troduce Alfalfa. Sheep do not require
any other food than such as our hills
supply from February to November; but
later than November they begin to fall
away in flesh, as the natural pasturage
then fails materially. If Alfalfa were
sowed it would afford good fall and win
ter pasturage, and our contemporary
thinks that in few years it would spread
over large scope Of country, making
thousands of acres of now valueless
land contribute largely to our wealth.

ORTHODOXY NOT LIBERALITY. Such
appears to be the opinion of the editor
of the Cleaner, which paper is the able
organ of the Israelites of California.
Some Christian sent to him long arti,
Gle, which he notices thus:
owe would have given it insertion,
at all hazards--as we do not think the
writer could have any objection to see
his appeal to Israel published-but for
the fact that it is orthodox Christian,
and we have no department for such
matter-our columns being open [only?
to the promotion of liberal views. x
x We shall be glad to give
space to liberal Christian matter, even
though it be polemical." :"
