~ 1t is an old saying that . lull a.
ways precedes \ storm. For some time
past, the city papers have been almost
destitute Of telegraph news. Is every
thing so quiet in the vicinity Of our ar
mics that there is nothing worth tele-
graphing about, or have all dispatches
been suppressed lest the enemy should
gaic more information than he is entitled
to Under the circumstances, the con
viction forces itself upon US that We are
to have some tall fighting 1901 or
some tall t%elegraphing.

the message of Governor Harris, in less than
two months from the passage Of the act in
May last, for raising . provisional army thir-
y thousand Tennessee volunteers were or

this quota called for, it seems that the Gov

THE STEAMSHIP BERMuDA.-A dis

patch dated Washington, October 6, says
Publicity is given to the violation OF
the Savannah blockade by the British
steamer Bermuda, which, it is said, pro-
ceeded from Lord Lyons ct the dinner
table.
Information from the village o Tkomp'
son, CT, says there is reason to believe
that a part Of the freight Of the Bermu-
da was seventy ions Of powder, seven
thousand Eutield rifles. ten rl1ed cannon,
sixty thousand pairs of shoes. a large
quantity of blankets, clothing. quinlne,
and morphine. "Reminiscences against
her sailing and completing her cargo
were made by Minister Adams, in Lou
don, but the Foreign Office did not fee!
at liberty or did not see its obligations
to arrest the unlawful voyage.
The information about the Bermuda's
freight may be tolerably correct; also,
about the British Foreign Office. Ii SO,
how do the Lincolnites abou. it, or What
are they going to do about 1t? Viii:
Lincoln declare wal against England,
for Lord Johu Rustell's Northumberland
to prevent the departure Of the Bermuda?
FEDERAL P~kEPAk.rloN FOR OPERA
T1oNs ON q COAST Tie most tnrmi-
dsble additions are being made, rapidly
but very quietly, to the naval forces OF
the Lincoln Government. These aGtl-
tons are evideutly with a view to coast
operations. The fleet of gun boats, Tor
which appropriations were made bv the
Lincoln Congress, will, in q few weeks,
be ready for active service. These YES
sells, of which twenty-thr.e are reported
to be building, are about 500 tons bur
den, light draught, strongly built, and
calculated to carry one 15O-pound rihvd
gun and four 3%2-pounders. Northern
accounts of the naval preparations Of the
Government state that there will also be
soon on the stocks q number OF fas, side
wheel steamers, suitable for running III
shallow waters and up narrow riyers.-
They are to be built alike at bow and
stern, SO as to avoid the danger of turn
ing around under the fire of a battery.

Sw1NE.-A word as to breeding. 1t
is quite common to breed from young
sows, say Fall pigs, to come in with a
litter of pigs when one year old; a
practice to be utterly condemned, and
If continued in the same family for a
few generations of the swine, they will
be found to dwindle down from three
to four hundred hogs to two to three
hundred. 1t is much better to keep
the SOW three or four years, or even
much longcr-they have been kept
some fifteen years to advantage. The
hog is some years in its natural state
in maturing. 1t is fact we'll known,
at least to every Irishman from the
could" country, that pigs from old
sows will grow into hogs some thirty
or forty pounds heavier than those
from young oncs.-Maine Farmer.

run under. The fourteen beasts were
alike in age, and were treated i'll the
same way, namely: eight pounds of
linseed cake each per day, thrce-quar-
tiers of bushel Of mangle wurtzels,
and hay or oat straw distributed equal
~ to all. Those shut up in boxes, and
those tied up, were all ready for mar
kct first, and those fed in the yards, but
having access to tho boxes, when they
