CATCHUP-CUcUMBER CATcHUP-J Judging
from the number Of recipes in vogue, we
should say that catchup could be made of
any vegetable that grows, as well as sundry
other things that are not ranked as vegeta-
bles-the general formula being Plenty Of
all sorts Of strong spices, and a small quantity
of anything else you choose, from tomato
10 green walnut, or boiled bass wood chips
(Green walnut, or butternuts by the way, do
make good catehup as we'll as good pickles }
An excellent housekeeper Of our acquaintance
furnishes for the Agr5cultprtst the latest recipe
for catchup, said to be very good to wit &:
Take green cumcumbers pare and chop rery
fine sprinkle on salt, and let them stand an
hour or so put into a strong cloth, and press
out all the LIQUID possible /; put the fine pieces
remaining into a bottle, and add vinegar
black pepper, and salt. Cork tightly and set
aside for use. Small bottles are preferable
SO that only small quantity need be opened
at time, as it molds after much exposure to
the air.-Agricuhurist.

The Worst Breed Of Hogs.

A correspondent of the North,osstsrH Far
nsy says
There is difference Of opinion with re-
gard to the best breed of hogs-not so much,
we think, with regard to the worst. Aud
though some may think that a fnA corn crab
the best breed, yet we respectfully beg leave
to differ.
"Your humble sevaut last year had pres
snt of two pigs of extra breed and wish
ing to get stock of the extra breed took
particularly good care OF them They grew
like i'll weeds as a neighbor told me-and
so they -precisely-long, TALL and thin
and fast Witbal. They progressed-princ.
pally in boneS-fnally, till this spring, when,
having some scattered grain in the stack yard,
we turned them into it-and presto in q
few days one pig, or hog, rather, had eaten
eight ducks, and how many chickens we
couldn't say, as we didn't keep count Feel
Jag perfectly satisfied that they were an 'ex-
ira breed we built q pen, not quite a mile
from the house. and forthwith immured the
carnioVrous animal for the remainder of his
natural life-not wishing to trust him with
our other hogs, knowing that evil c1mmu-
rications, eet' Now, my private opinion is,
that these belong to the breed that got all
evil spirit into them, and then ran down a
steep hill, into certain lake, where most of
them were drow ned !; though some of them
must have escaped, else how came they here
The moral is that a good breed is even
better than full crib-for these hogs (and
kno10 there are plenty more like them) got all
the corn and slop they could dispose of. And
instead of thriving, as decent porkers should
they are little less than skin and bone. They
will doubtless be large hogs when they get
fat-the date of which fact is rather mytho-
logical.
"Now, why will farmers keep such land
sharks Any farmer can take a good Suf-
folk, or Chester White hog, and raise at least
double the amount of much better pork, with
the same quantity of feed. 1t wouldn't be a
bad idea, think, if the legislature would Of
fer bounty, of say two dollars head for
the slaughter of the longegged, lOng-nosed
breed-three, four, and five rowed hogs, as a
neighbor calls them /; because, says he, they
can stand outside the fence, and reach their
noses, or sHoutS to the third, fourth and
fifth row of potatoes We feel satisfied that
the time will come when they will be looked
upon as Il curiosity"

During the season, HUGHES d Co., have
employed four or FIVE steamboats, in keeping
up the supply of coal in This market, and
keeping doIUa the price. They have bought
ti,--ir coal from the Tradewaier Mines, KY.
owned by their feliow-citiz n. Col. JOHN
BELL. Their article Is, therefore, Southern,
and they are Southern men. They hav. had
opportunities 10 advance the price of coal,
and thus make speculation. but they d elm
ed to do so. believing that their iellow-cili-
z Ms would appreciate their motives aud sus-
tain their enterprise.
Bat, within the past week they have had
TO encounter competition in PittSburg coal,
a northern article, and some of our people
seem disposed to give it preference. Now,
the question is shall the enterprise of IL essrs.
HUGHEs i Co be sustained. or shall it be
broken up, and the market thrown into thu
hands of Spectators in Pennsylvania Goa ?
Will our citizens see a company. which has
b en- of immense benefit to all who consume
coal in our midst, driven out of markrt. for
want of custom-by preference for North
ern over a Southern article? If they will.
then they deserve an advance of prices on
them, which is likely to ensue. CITIZEN.
