I saw him once before,
When he'd LEFT his fathers door,
And pursuits;
His hoofs we're broad and long
Eighteen By seven. strong,
In his boots.
And I saw him once again,
Standing in the snow and rain.
Cold and damp;
The soldier-men, they swore
His gas was such bore,
In the camp.
When he had raved and strained,
And all their patience drained
To the dregs,
He took the backward trail,
Like cur-dog. with his tail
tween his legs.
Once more heard him drswl-
II was late in the Fall
Ofthe year.
A bakers dozen men
And boys, were all that then
Came to hear.
He'd nail the villains fast,
And the bolters' ticket blast
In the bud.
Let no man dare to think
Contrary, or he'd drink
His hearts blood.
Each little dirty sheet
One at the County Seat,
And the Chief
These nasty sheets were both
Bound to-(sss stick in an oath)-
Come to grief.
He was in deep distress,
About the conscieuceless
Public scabs-
Was troubled in his dreams,
With Tracy's wicked schemes
And with Crabb's.
Such villainy was rare
In Pennsyltucky, where
He was born:
There honesty was taught,
And happiness was sought
In "horn."
He asked of no man odds;
But let them, by the gods,
.eiru Sling their dirt!
He who would not admire
The Great Show, was q liar,
And q squirt!
They came, q martial host,
From Quartermaster's post,

Some grown with virtue gray,
Who'd wrestled, night and day,
With the Lord.

For earthly things to care

They'd sod-corn from the still,
And WarrLnted to kill,
Forty rods.

As regards the pork packing prospects, and the
opening prices Of hogs for slaughter, we have no
definite information, beyond the fact that packers
and buyers not in the market. Their views
are widely varied from those Of farmers and drov-
ers, who anticipating high prices from the fact
that pork and bacon are now running high. and
on the presumption that the "hog crop" will be
short. To meet this, the packers contend that
the demand for several years has been almost e1-
ciusveiy for army contracts, the sales last season
in this market for tina. purpose far exceeding one
million and a quarter of dollars, With only a mere
nominal demand for plantation supply. Now the
army demand will only benominal, and the supply
of hogs in the South is fair and the prospective
demand light. Corn is abundant throughout the
whole country, and the mast in Kentucky, Indiana
and other places, is far more abundant than for
years, particularly beech and oak. This alone
will fatten the hogs for January. The crop of
hogs is light, but the increase in weight viii be
considerable, and We quote the nominal rate at
