A TIGER HUNT NEAR SINGAPORE

About ten days since, says a Singapore March
3lst letter, it became known to the people of a
place several miles back of Singapore that large
tiger had carried offa Chinese coolie from under
the very noses of his companions. OF course all
they knew of his subsequent movements was the
direction Of his flight, and this being ascertained
by an American hunter who happened to be on
the spot, he prevailed upon several of the villagers
to arm themselves and accompany him, and started
In pursuit Arrived at a suspicious loo king spot
the Chinese, with one exception proceeded to oc-
cupy the branches of friendly trees, while the hun
ter, with the exception holding one ofhis two guns,
proceeded to cut his way through the jungle with
long knife.
1t seems that he had been extremely happy in the
selection Of his point of attack, for he had not
crawled through the Jungle many yards, cutting
his way as he went, when he heard low growl-
low, but evidently not very distant. He now stop
ped, peering long and anxiously through the net
work of vines. &C., of which the Jungle was COM
posed, but could see nothing, consequently he went
on cutting, and hauling himself along his knife
cleared the road. Presently another grOWl, fol-
lowed by sudden halt on his part. This growl
sounded close that he must be able to see whence
it came; and he was not disappointed. Glaring at
him through the interstices of the dense under
growth were two angry eyes, back of these angry
eyes 1.-the and striped body, and under them the

was so great that it burst through the Jungle and

1t is very surprising to see how slow men are to
take hint. The frost destroys about half the bloom
the fruit trees; every body prognosticates the loss
of fruit instead of that, the half that remains is
larger, fairer, and higher favored than usual; and
the trees instead of being exhausted, ready for
another crop the next year. Why don't the owner
take the hint and thin out his fruit every bearing
year? But no; the next season sees his orchard
overloaded, fruit small, and not we'll formed; yet
he always boasts of that aforementioned crop with
out protiting by the lesson it teaches.
We heard man saying ''the best crop of celery
ever saw. was raised by old John =, on spot
of ground where the wash from the barn-vard ran
into it after every hard shower" Did he take the
hint, and convey such liquid manure in trenches to
bis garden? Not at all; he Dragged about that
derful crop of celery, but would not take the hint.
We knew case where farmer subsoiled field
and raised crops In consequence which were the ad-
miraton of the neighborhood; and for years the
field showed the advantage of deep handling. But
we could not learn that single farmer in the neigh
borhcod took the hint. The man who acted thus
wisely, sold his farm and his pursued the
old way of surface-scratching.
A stanch farmer complained to us of his soil as
too loose and light we mentioned ashes as worth
trying; ''well, you mention it, believe it will
do good. bought part of my farm from man
who was wonderful person to save up ashes, and
around his cabin it lay in heaps, took away the
house and ordered the ashes to be scattered and to
this day noticed that when the plow runs along
through that spot, the ground turns up moist and
close grained 1t is strange that he never took the
hint! There thousands of bushels of ashes lying
not far from his farm about an old soap and candle
factory with which he might have dressed his whole
farm.
farmer gets splendid crop of corn or grain
from on grass or clover lay. Does he take the
hint? Does he adopt the system which shall allow
him every year just such sward to put his grain
on? No, he hates ok-farming, and scientific
farming, and "this notion Of rotation" and jogs on
the old way. -fta,i l9 fn1sssf4i ~ 81

THE ONLY Son OF HIS MoTHER.-One sees on all
sides the blue trowsers and white jackets of the
Anstrians, who fell here in great numbers. In one
place saw eight Zouaves lying close to each other
in small ravine near the railroad Around the
eight dead Frenchmen counted the bodies of two
hundred and three Austrians. This will give you
some idea of the dreadful slaughter that was made
of them. The bayonet is the arm they dread the
most While under cover, or firing at distance,
they stand well the attack but the moment they see
that the French troops are about to attack them
with the bayonet they at once retreat. This ac-
counts for the immense number of them that are
killed. Alas, it is a sad thing to see the sacks and
other equipments of the dead piled up Letters and
many little tokens of affection are taken in charge
by some of the officers appointed to that duty but
still, when so many are killed, many things must
necessarily be overlooked. l picked up one of the
letters that were in piles near the sacks of the
French soldiers that were killed yesterday, and
found it was most atfectionate letter from a
mother to her only son. She concluded by hoping
that the Almighty would allow her to see her only
child ere she died. dropped the letter with a
heavy heart, and rejoined my companions, who
were ready to continue our journey on to Magenta
where the great BATTLE the event of real import
ance, had occurred.-Cor. Of the Erening Post.

FoUR THoUsANp Hoes IN DIFFcuLrY.-Mr George
Coon,s hog pens, in Milcreek bottom, attached to
the White Mills Distiery, fell down with a tre-
mendous crash about o'clock yesterday afternoon,
carrying about four thousand hogs with the wreck
The pens, of course, destroyed and some forty
or fifty hogs were killed, and nearly hundred were
so bruised and MANNED that it was necessary to
slaughter them.
The squealing of the hogs while involved in the
ruins and fragments Of the pens, is described as
something harrowing:-considerably worse than two
pigs under gate. The distiliery hands rushed to
the rescue of the unlucky porkers and extricated
them as rapidly as possible, giving all that were
uninjured sweet respite ofliberty, of which they
availed themselves by roaming at large all over the
valley. During the day a number of persons were
actively employed in collecting the scattered droves
but many were lost. Some fat swill-fed fellows,
were overco ne by the heat, and were slaughtered.
The loss of the proprietor will amount to several
thousand dollars
The pens were located near bluff bank and over
drain some distance from the dstillerv, and were
elevated from the bottom of the ditch some thirty
feet They had been inundated twice BY backwater
during the spring, and the foundations were weak
ened, so that when the pens were filled, they were
not strong enough to support the weight upon them
