WHITE, CHESTER COUNTY SWINE.
Mr., EDITOR An inquiry was made in
your paper in November last, about the Pc
culiar characteristics Of the Chester county
white breed of swine, and also what was their
origin Being interested myself in the last
inquiry soon after wrote to Mr.. Thomas
Wood, Of Chester county, ennsylvania-the
most extensive dealer in this breed in my
knowledge--and proposed the same questions,
with others, too him. | copy from his reply
as follows.
They are what we call home made hogs,
having been brought to their present condi-
ton by a long course Of judicious crossing
and careful breeding bv many Of our best
stock men, The origin or first impulse Of
this improvement was the importation to this
country of pair Of very fine pigs, by Capt.
James Jeffries. They were brought from
Bedfordshire, England, about forty years
since. They claim no foreign blood since
AS the swine thus imported began to have
some notoriety, they we're called Chester
county hogs, after the county in which they
originated. as in England the improved stock
is named after the shires or counties in which
they originate. The Chester has become the
most popular breed Of hogs in this country.
have been engaged in breeding thirty
years, and shipping them for eight or nine
years to nearly every State Of the Union,
Canada and Nova Scotia, and the demand for
them is constantly increasing as they become
known. They are a white hog, long, square
built, short head and good ham, and will
readily fatten at any age, and we think make
more pork to the amount of feed consumed,
and in short time, than any other BREED
They are easily kept, and quiet, good breed
ers."
In reply to my question as to their weight
when well fattened, at given ages. he says:
81 have known several TO weigh 800 lbs,
and some over, at months old also several
to weigh between 600 and 700 at ls months
old several to weigh over 500 at a little un-
der years old, and one to weigh $50 at 20
moths old, dressed weight"
My father has been breeding the Chester
county hogs for about four years, and his OK
perience fully confirms the opinion expressed
by Mr.. Wood, that "they make more pork,
according to the amount of feed consumed,
than any other breed" They are remarkably
hearty and healthy breed, and are the most
docile and gentle mothers | ever saw. They
combine so many good qualities that they not
only are rapidly gaining in their popularity,
but of right. should be "the most popular
breed in this country"

WHAT is TREASON ?-In the United States
Circuit Court in Ohio, at the April term,
1861, the grand jury found an indictment of
treason against James w. Chenoweth, for
furnishing supplies and munitions OF war to
the rebels. At the present term ex-senator
Pugh, counsel for the defendant, moved to
quash the indictment, on the ground that the
first clause of section 2, article Of the Con-
s'iiution, which provides that treason shall
consist only of levying war, refers to rebel
lion, while the second eiause-'or adhering
to their enemies in giving aid and comfort
relates only to public war with foreign
enemy. Justice Swayne gave his decision on
Wednesday, sustaining the motion by quash-
ing the indictment.
