If there be law to reach VIM. A. Wal
lace, chairman Of the copperhead State
committee, let its strong arm be extended
at one. This fellow issued private cir
cular to the chairmen of copperhead county
committee in this State, in which be urg-
ed the open and forcible corruption of the
ballot-box by his mercenaries. He says !;
"Where we have the President Judge,
the District Attorney, and reliable juries,
the case is very plain one. The votes
(of deserters) must be potted, and you
must threaten the Republican officers
and fulfill yow threats =
Now we regret that this circular never
came to our notice until the day after

not have been a skedaddler's or deserter' ::

gents in the State, to threaten, Republl

The butchering season has commenced in
earnest in our borough, and The squealing OF
hogs give indication thatvis:ons Of barrels OF
pork in the celier, and slaihers of sasscngers,
pon haas, liver worst, &C., in the garret have
become blessed realities to more than one
family in town. The quality Of the pork
killed this season, is better than was ever
known here before, while the weight is high
Iy creditlble to the skill of our pork raisers,
as the following will show:
Lewis Kienest killed two hogs, one OF
which weighed 392 and the other 249 lbs. ;
Lewis Waters one, 35S lbs; William Flory
two, 35l and 301 lbs. William Ruff one,
BIZ lbs. George Philman two, $50 and 80
It's. /; Joseph Wallace two, 434 and $40 lbs. :
Sllas l.. Drake two, which, together weighed
over 700 lbs. A number Of others, some of
which, no doubt, exceeded these weights
have also been killed, and many more, some
OF them very large, yet await Slaughter
These weights are in some measure due 10
judicoue feeding, but, in greater measure,
to the improvement in the hog stock of the
county, caused by the introduction OF the
Chester White and other noted breeds.
