A Pleasant Joke for Jurors.

The following case was tried at Grand Rap.
ids, Michigan, a few years ago. A man who
had previously borne a suspicious character
was indicted for stealing a large quantity Of
pork. He employed lawyer Of considera.
bic reputation to defend him, and although
the affair had an ugly look, he was strongly
in hopes of getting off clear; but when the
testimony on behalf of the prosecution was
concluded, his counsel was about to give up
the case in despair. But the prisoner was as
c. ol as a cucumber, and confident Of acquittal.
He insisted upon the defense being proceeded
with.
"Have you any evidence to refute this
overwhelming testimony"
mot particle"
"Then how the deuce do you expect to get
clear?"
"Ne7er you mind, squire; go on with your
7peech-I shall do well enough"
81 tell you this is nonsense. You acknow-
ledge you stole the pork. and they have also
proved il on you to the entire satisfaction Of
every man in the court. Now what can
say I"
=" Make 'em good speech, squire, and Pm
sure to get Off"
"Impossible-there's nothing to be said" !"
81 hired you, and intend to pay you /;
but not cent shall you have unless you give
the jury good talking TO-"
Under this inspiration the lawyer made q
rambling, incoherent address to the jury, in
which everything was discussed except the
case utidef consideration. On concluding, he
whispered in the pfisUnef's ear,

ExTRPArIoN or CoRSs.-Extirpatiou Of

BY . careful process Of cutting and tearing

A continued use Of some solution Of iodine,
with the removal Of oil pressure, will, in

softer ones; but aeetic acid Of the proper
strength Is preferable.

The China Hog.

OF this truly valuable breed Of swine
there have been many importatIons made
directly to this country, as well as to Eng
land, where they acknowledge them as the
principal foundation Of the Improvement in
most Of their modern breeds Of swine. The
true China belong to the class OF small
breeds. They are short, deep, and thick !;
fine bones, short legs and short snout, small
ears, medium coat, varying in color from
black to white, red to sandy, with different
colored belt around the body, back of the
fore legs.
They arc very prolific, but not very good
nurses are rather delicate as pure breed,
but for this country are as well calculated
to use as sires on the coarse looking, large
breeds as any know Of; being very quiet,
early 10 mature, aud quick feeders.
The progeny thus obtained are relieved Of
that rough, racer like appearance that char.
acterizes our large swine. They are well
calculated for city marketing as pOrklings
or roasters, and with protection IN winter,
and access to o plenty Of water In summer,
will prove profitable animal. The herds
man should avoid feeling heating food, or
grains; their food should consist of oat
meal; or wheat bran, mixed with milk, whey,
or wash from the kitchen. Cooked vegetables
Of almost any kind they willeat with avidity,
after becoming used to them; little cautioh
at first is all that is requisite in not feeding
too much. One thing is indispensable with
a China hog to have them do well, that is, q
plenty Of grass.
The sows selected for breeding should be
long bodied and have q chance for from
twelve to sixteen pigs to suck at once, and
above all, be kept on. light food, washes,
or what most people term swill.

southern News.

News from Pittsburg Landing to Sunday
morning, states that there had been no
general engagement, although the situa-
ton of the two armies was much more
threatening than at any previous time
There had been several severe skirmishes
which, without producing any change,
served to show the intention of the con.
testing forces.
1t was definitely ascertained that so far
from reports of evacuation being true, the
enemy is Strengthening all of his defences
for the defeat of our army, instead Of ADAM
doning his entertainments. A large force
of negroes was at work telling trees, form
ing abattis, and strengthening earthworks.
1t is now known that Gen. Lowell had
reached CorintE, bringing with him an
army of 10000 men.
1t can no longer be a matter of doubt
that Gen. Beauregard Is preparing for a
desperate struggle.
Our reeonnoitering parties invariably
meet the enemy, go where they will, and
on the hills, in the woods, and along the
roads, the rebels seem to be present in
overwhelming force.
Preparations for battle are being made
on a grand scale; roads have been cut
through the woods to facilitate the move
ments Of the different divisions; siege guns
are mounted in great numbers, and moth
ing is wanting on our part to win the con-
test.

Congressional Matters.

Senator Wade's bill in aid of Agricultu-
raj Colleges provides that the public lands
shall be donated to the States and Terri
tories which may establish Colleges to
teach the science of Agriculture and the
mechanical arts in the proportion of 80
UOU acres for each Senator and Represen-
t~ative, the proceeds acquired by the sale
of lands, to be invested in Government
stocks yielding at least 5 per cent. One
college, at least, must be endowed and
supported in the State or Territory which
received the donation.
The Senate Committee on Finance has
reported about 300 amendments to the
House Tax Bill, after having heard the re-
representatives. of delegations representing
various interests. Among the amend
ments they have stricken out the tax OH
all rectitied and mixed, and increased that
on distilled spirits to twenty cents per
gallon, to be collected at the distillerIes,
but not to operate upon the stock on hand
previous to the passage of this act.
The tax on domestic wine is stricken
out. Lager beer and malt liquors remain
undisturbed. Three per centum is propo-
sed on the gross receipts of railroads,

Church Election-Lay Representa-
ton.

The question of Lay Representation la:
been q subject of considerable discussion
in the Methodist Episcopal Church, for
several years. 1t having beef strongly ar
gued that the laity should have a voice
IN church legislation, through representa-
fTyes, from among themselves, permitted
to participate in Church Conferences,
steps hare been initiated, looking to a
practical solution Of The question, by OBJ
tanning the sentiment of the menbershp
for and against Lay Representation.
On last Sabbath morning, Rev. Excel
announced from the pulpit of the N. Z.
Church in this place, that an election
would be holden in the Warren Church,
on the 10Th inst, from 9 A. NJ. TO Q P. NJ,
for the purpose of giving all the male
members of the church, over 20 years of
age, an opportunity to vote their senti-
ments on the question.
We have no intention of discussing the
subject at this time, but the writer is glad
- be able to say that the voice of the peo-
pie in the Warren church viii, we believe,
DO almost unanimously in favor of Lay
Repi esentation. As churches in other
parts of the county viii have the question
presented to them for similar action, it is
to be hoped they viii not be Indifferent
concerning it, but earnestly take hold of
it as a matter of material concern to heir
church, and we are Of the opinion, one of
sound progressive policy, destined to lie
s~slutary in its influences.
