THE LARGEST Hoo EVER SEEN IN AMER
1CA.-An immense hog was killed in this
city Jan. 18th, by Lippencott d Martin,
butchers, 5lI Tenth Avenue. He was
freely exhibited, while alive, by his feeder
before the door of the Agricultural and
other newspaper offices. and excited much
interest. Mr.. A. H. Benham, of Mclean,
Tompkins Co., N. Y. by whose judicious
management his weight reached the enor-
nous figure of 1856 lbs, has been careful
to have his weight repeatedly taken aud
certified to under oath. In February, l 1868,
he weighed 1920 lbs; in October 1876 lbs;
December 10th, 1910 lbs, and December
29th, whea he left home for the Metropolis,
1856 lbs. He fell off rapidly during the
fortnight which interviewed before he was
slaughtered, and did not feed well, but was
active, stood and walked in very unusual
manner for so fat an animal. When killed.
January 18th, his live weight was 1878 lbs;
dressed weight 1174 lbs; offal 10 lbs;
blood % lbs. Through the courtesy of
Mr.. Benham we have secured the skin, and
placed it in the hands of a skillful taxidsr-
mist to be prepared and ''set-up" in lite-
like form, and placed in the Office of the
Agriculturist, where it will stand as Mr..
Benham's challenge to the World. 1t will
be finished early during this month.

A FIGHTING, SWEARING AND
PRAYING INDIVIDUAL.

~
A correspondent of the New York Her
aid. recently released from the Libby Pris-.
on, tells the following story of one of the
inmates
am satisfied that Mr. Sherman, of Col.
onel Bakers detective force in Washington,
is an individual of transcendently mixed
qualities. On the morning succeeding my
transfer to No.10, l witnessed scene IN
which be figured conspicuously conclusive
of the fact.
A prayer meeting had been convened.
when suddenly an outsider insisted on TAX.
ing small bench-the only one, by thss
way, in the room-in possession of Bfr.
Sherman, who, as l afterwards saw, was
leader of the meeting.
"I'll fight you for that BENCH" said the
outsider, taking off his coat. eeoa
al shan't go there to fight you," replied
Mr.. Sherman, ''but attempt to take away
this bench, and I'll give you a damned
licking.'
The outsider advanced and made demon
straton to sieze the bench. The fist of
Mr.. Sherman suddenly leaped f.om the
right shoulder. and that outsider dropped
down.

cuss," said Mr.. Sherman. ''Now well 90
on with the meeting. Brother Merritt, will
you lead in prayer %
Almost incredulous as this story may
appear, it is nevertheless, every word of it
true.
Two days before my release, this Mr..
Sherman, with others, was pat in a ground
floor room preliminary to being taken to
Salisbury. The weather was excessively
cold, and ,Ethere being no fire in the room,
Mr.. S. took occasion to unfold his views
upon the Confederacy and its treatment of
prisoners, which expression of opinion
Capt. Richardson, now commanding the
prison, CHANGED to hear.
Don't you know better than to talk like
that % said the Captain. J

piled Mr.. Sherman. 81 think it damned
shame to put prisoners in such damned
hole as this"
"Repeat that" said Capt. Richardson.
drawing his revolver, land I'll blow your
brains OUT
"Well, do think it is damned shame"
responded Mr.. S. You can blow my
brains out as soon as you please"
Captain Richardson did not blow out Mr..
Sherman's brains, but put him at once in
double irons in a condemned cell, where,
brave but indiscreet fellow, he may be yet
for aught know.
