We believe that We have published
the following remedy, for hog cholera
in the Journal before, but for fear il
escaped the attention Of our readers,
and knowing that terrible disease to
be prevalent, among the swine in our
county, we again publish it.
MjaAiJh Cure lor Hog Choi0u,-
One OF the most intelligent aud rclla-
bic farmers in this country, says the
Holly Springs Nliss) Democrat, tells
MS of n remedy for hog cholera, which
he says wo may give to our readers
as infaIIibIc.
This remedy is simple ]arscnic,i in the
proportion OF "a common tea spoonful
10 twenty hogs, MIXED with u latte
dough and given 10 thrm.-Nc says
that after trying every remedy Of
which he could hear, and losing 200
hogs, he happened TO think Of this, and
tried it with complete success, never
losing another hog after commencing
10 use il; although he had Il good many
very bad oil when he began to use it.
II is easily tried, and we recommend

At first but few believed the tale. All
had read Of such escapes, but few were
prepared TO hear an instance Of lis re-.

Mrs. Land had called and remained
with DR.. Land for several hours that
evening, rs she had frequently done
before. About supper time she was
let out (as it was supposed rs usual.
and the mistake was not discovered
until it was too late. Ills Honor.
Judge Henry, on being informed Of
DIR. LandScscapc, declared that his Ia

was returned, but we are glad that the
severe rigor of justice gave way TO the
dictates Of humanity, aud She was re-

The Unbreken Number.

Yes, I shall rest some coming day,
When blossoms in the wind are dancing,
And children in their mirthful play
Heed not the mournfui crowd advancing.
Uplhrough the long and busy street
They'll bear me to my last retreat,
Or ee-it matters not-may rave
The storms and blasts of wintry weather,
Above the narrow, new-mads grave,
Where care and lie down togttLer,
Enough that should know it not,
Within that dark and narrow spot.
For l shall sleepi As sweet sleep
As ever graced child reposing,
Awaits me in the cell so deep,
Where I my weary eyclids closing,
At Atlength shall lay me down to rest,
Needless Of ciods tbove ny breast.
,Asleepl How deep will be the rest,
Free from life's turmoil wildly,
That when the past is easth's unrest;
Is bosom shall receive me mildly;
Tor not one dream of earth may come
u brake the slumber Of that home:
/ G, deep repcse2 Oh, slumber blest
Oh, sight of peace! Ne storm, no sorrow,
No heavy stirring in my rest,
To meet another weary morrow!
!! shall heed neither night nor dawn,
But still with folded arms sleep on
And yet. methinks. if steps of those
Unknown and loved on earth were round N
I'd break the night Of my repose,
Shiver the ice cords that bound me
Save that know this cannot be,
For death disowns all sympathy.
Then mourn not, friends. when ye shall lay
The clods of earth above my ashes;
Think what rest awaits my clay,
and smooth the mound with fearless lashe:
Gat that the resting form within
dad done with sorrow, care and sin.
Think that with me the strife IS o'er,
Lies stormy, struggling battle ended;
Rejoice that have gained that shore
10 which my faltering footsteps tended,
Breathe the blest hope above the sod,
And leave me to my rest with God.
