, A Bit of Romance.

The circumstances. detailed below come
from a quarter which leaves no doubt OF
their being quite reliable. A man who
has carried on business in this city for
some ten years past, accumulating consid-
cradle property. and living apparently in
as much connubial felicity as is vouchsa-
fed to folks on the average in the married
state, has. lately been smoked out in the
following way. Within year or SO
bis wife suspected too much familiarity
between him and certain other woman
contrary to the law in such cases made
and provided, and set police detective
on the scent in order to the establishing
of proofs sufficient to secure for her a di-
yorce, provided her surmises should be
found correct. His Investigations discov
cred too much, for he found the man had
a wife in New Hampshire, whom he mar
ried before coming to this city, and desert
ed in three weeks afterward. She, how
ever, had married a second time like him
self The second wife finding that she
was not lawfully married, and, therefore
not likely to be divorced, preferred a com
promise; the man gave her half the prop
ertv, dividing some SIS, 900 between then
and they separated. Taken altogether, it
a curious case, rather complicated, bn
yet one Of the too common. proofs that th

The President and Gen. Fremont.

In his letter to Gen. Fremont, President
Lincoln Instructed him to obey the law. of
Congress upon the subject with which he
was dealing. That law was made at the
late extra session Of Congress. 1t came
fresh from the hands of the representatives
of the people. 1t went to the extent of
the Constitutional power Of Congress.
The President was sworn to obey and to
execute that law, according to its fair con:
struction and import. When General
Fremont issued his proclamation in oppo'
siton to its letter and to its spirit, in OPP
position even to the wishes of his superior
military authority, be became in fact tc
that extent, a law breaker, and violatol
of the Constitutional obligations he was
employed to enforce,
Upon what principle, then, consistent
with loyalty and patriotism, can the ac
ton Of the President in administering {
prompt rebuke be condemned? Upon
what ground can Gen. Fremont in that
individual act, be sustained. For wha
reason is an act, conceded to be a palpa
bic violation Of the Constitution and tht
laws, daily thrust upon the people Of th'
North as political issue' If violation
of the Constitution at the South is treason

Hints ON Fattening Swine.


Nature clearly intended the hog to be !,
a depository Of fat. No amman has a I
better appetite, or is less. dainty in his =
choice of food ;Sdigestioh waits upoaibis
appetite, and bis love of ease favors the ~,
process. Yet, though he takes thus nat
uraily to fattening, much may be done TO
hasten or hinder the operation, and the 3
profit in rearing swine depends very largely
upon supply favorable conditions for the
desired accumulation, The plan too of
ten followed, of allowing these animals to
shift for themselves mostly, and barely
exist until the times comes for putting Z
them up to feed for killing, is not the
most economical. A pig treated in this %
way becomes stunted, wild, uneasy, and
.voracious. 1t will require several weeks
of heavy feeding to bring him up to the <
point where fatteniug commences, and
even then he cannot, attain the proportion q
which more liberal treatment would have
given. One Of the most successful pork
a.
raisers in the country said: 81 begin to
fatten my hogs from the time they are
old enough to squeal, ard keep them SO g
busy eating they haveno time for sanea,
ing" % & fgs.gzEggE p "a. .,4.rs-.s q ...-.
Some persons have the notion that the
accumulation of ia. interferes with his
growth, and therefore he should have a
rather spare diet for the first six months,
in order to attain large size. Bat fattea-
ing is only storing away of the excess of
| digested food. The wants of the growing ,
bones, muscles, etc, are first supplied and
any surplus is deposited in the form of
fat; and there need be no fear that the
growth Of other parts will suffer while fat
is accommodating. g.
t 1he most common error in fattening
swine is delaying it until late in the sea-
son. The food taken into the system is
required not only to build up the tissues,
but to furnish animal heat In warm
weather but little fuel or food IS needed
for this purpose, and fat accumulates read
| lily; but in cold weather almost the whole
food eaten, will be exhausted in keeping
the animal warn. Hence the policy]of
commencing to fatten carly. One bushel
of corn fed this month will give better re-
turus than two fed in the depth of Winter.
Il is advisable 70 keep over stock of old
corn to feed with until the harvest com
mences, and supply can be taken from
the field. f.. .""'
Every animal relishes variety of food, ."
and fattenng swine will turn with eager
ness from their accustomed feed Of corn,
to munich pea vines, or green corn stalks.
Their appetites will be kept up by CRAFTY
ing this natural desire. Ground feed of
rye and oats, or oats and peas to take the
place Of corn occasionally, will be benef-
cial; and there should be liberal allow"
ance of green food, with all the dairy wash
that can be spared. Clean water is also
essential, and should always be supplied
to the pen. ..--"~
Do not allow the sites to become filthy;
swine are naturally cleanIy in their habits,
and by furnishing them with plenty of lit
ter, a valuable addition will be made to
the manure heap.

A Spy Of the Revolution.

In the year l77G, when Gov. George
Clinton resided in Albany, there came a
stranger to his. house one cold wintry
morning soon after the family had break
tasted. He was welcomed by the house
hold, and Hospitality entertained. A
breakfast ordered, and the governor with
his wife and daughter employed in knit
ting, was sitting before the fire, and enter
ed into conversation with him about the
affairs of the country, which naturally led
to the inquiry of what was his occupa-
ton. The caution and hesitancy with
which the speaker spoke aroused the
keen, sighted Clinton. lie communicated
bis suspicious to his wife and daughter,
who closely watched his every word aud
action. Unconscious of this, but finding
that he had fallen among enemies, the
stranger was seen to take something from
his pocket and swallow it. Meantime Mad.
anne Clinton, with the ready tact Of wo-
men of those troublous times, went quiz
city into the kitchen and ordered hot cof-
fee to be immediatel y made, and added to
it a strong dose, of tartar emetic; the
stranger, delighted with the smoking bev-
erage, partook freely of it, and Mrs. Clin>
ton soon bad the satisfaction of seeing it
fproduce the desired result; true TO scrip

demned." A silver bullet appeared, which
upon examination was unscrewcd, and
found to contain an important dispatch
from Burgoyne. lie was tried, condemn

served in the family.

How MUCu WAS Penny A DAY2-
Much better wages than it sounds to us.
An agricultural paper says that in the
time of Christ, penny was about equal
to 10 of our cents, and money was about
ten times as valuable as now; the penny
day was as good as $50 of our cents;
SO that the man who worked in the vine
yard for that, got as good wages as good
men now generally have in harvest time.

"THE THOUSAND FOLD DEATH BOMB .

has invented fearful death dealing bomb.
l. consists Of pne large shell, including
any number of smaller shells, these latter
again containing explosive bullets, &c.
The shells are separate, not concentric.
The fuse will burst under water, and Mr..
Spencer believes that, he can blow up the
Great Eastern whenever she naed il, though
he has great respect for that ship, aud
hope. he will not be called on to make
Ethas experiment. We have talked with
fthose who have seen the outer shell ex-
plode, followed by eleven shells within it,
and Mr. Spencer guarantees that none Of
them can fai! to explode. Out of three
hundred experiments not one failed. The
inner shells, as we hinted, may each con>

: This time of public danger and trial, is

the government from destruction, in the

now. If the men who make up the de-

his bending spars, that lie was following
in my wake under a press of sail. He
kept continually sending up rockets and
blue lights, and | initiated as nearly as
possible each signal that he made, for |
knew that if the heavy ships outside of
me once smelt the rat, and found out
who / was a single broadsde would be
