Cine inLati has earned the name of
Porkopois, from its extensive trade in
hogs, but from the number Of hogs that
are left running at large in our streets,
free to enter deor yards and gardens that
may chance TO be open, to enjoy them
selves in tie hoggish roofing Of sod aud
vegetables, one would think, that our VIII
lage il not the first, may be rsuked the
second hog city il the Union. Raising
hogs is great Institution in this village,
and all you have to do is to get an cid
sow. with litter of pigs and tnrn them
loose on the street, and you will be sure
to have fine pen by killing time. and
that too, without being at any expense
for fajtening them. Il don't matter how
much you annoy your neighbors, or into
whose premises they sneak, only SO they
get some place where they are not want
ed, and can procure enough, by steal
ing upon which to grow. Stop holes in
fences, secured by owners OF property, 10
protect their premises from the ravages
OF piggies med ilesome, thisvish propen-
sites, are of,enlimes accidentolly open
aud an inlet made for them to enter,
without the trouble of roofing an en-
trance for themselves. One little piggie
got so bold as TO 60 into cellar of one
of our citizens a few days ago, and little
pggie, possessed with ore of the spirit.
cast out Of a femsle worthy Of ancicn
times, got TO snootin g it iu the butte
firkin, greasing his probossis with tina
scarce article ofhonsehold use, much t
tbe annoyance Of the COED lady Of tn
house. a
Now hogs are useful in their place
they come very handy in supplying u
with very desirable kind Of food br
then this freedom which they enjoy, {
running at large, to the annoyance {
many OF our citizens and, frequently,
the destruction Of propertyis little to
much Of the good thing. This is a fre
country. and our village, emphatically
goes it upon the broadest platform-eve
carrying the 'Jreedom' and "equality
down to the swine tribe. Hogs are a FRI
institution here-no law to prohibit the
from playing the d. generally, if tht
see fit to do SO. Whist we are in fav
the most enlarged liberty compatible wi
free government, we are most decided
opposed to the en- arged liberty enjoyed
the hog tribe, in our village. They r
at large untrammelled, and are at lbe
ty to poke their noses into everybody
premises, to the ruin Of property and
door yards. We think our PMc
Fathers might do wise thing in looki
after this hoggish business, other p
ces have statute, prohibi Ting the II
ming az large Of swine. Why are
behind in this thing ?
