Cook YOUR PORK by an examination
into the subject by party of medical
gentlemen in Chicago, last week, it was
ascertained that swine's flash in this
country, at least that in Chicago, is more
lmpregnated with the trichina than even in
Germany, where they have suffered SO
much from its terrible ravages. 1t seems
that immunity from its effects SO far, is
from the fact that Americans cook their
pork, while in that part Of Germany that
has suffered from its rayages tue people
are in the habit Of eating their pork raw
in consequence OF the high price of fire.
wood. The triclIna don't exist in we'll
cured meat aud they can be guarded
against in fresh pork by cooking it over q
hot fire and well done Farmers can
avid raising trlchiaous pork by putting
their hogs in pens and not allowing them

turning to hi. house from Ripley with an
OK team, last week. was murdered by two
Of his negroes who Drained him with an
axe and then threw his booy into creek,
after which they ran the oxen and wagon
over the bridge, to make i, appear that
his death was accidental The game was
so bunglingly played, however, that sus
picion was aroused. Blood was discov-
cred along the rood for mile from the
bridge and a bloody axe concealed in a
tree. The negroes were arrested and i'm
mediately confessed their guilt, bu, said
they had been employed to commit the
foul deed by Mrs. Reeder. who was anxious
to get rid Of him for some purpose. The
case i. involved ip mystery.

MANIrowoC Our town as Lately been
the recipient Of many kindly notices on the
part Of The press, all Of which 60 to make
i! known and appreciated abroad. Among
the latest is one from Mr.. SHARPE, editor
of the Sbeboygan Journal, as follows:
Il Trip to Man,towoc On Sunday
afternoon last We stepped on board the fine
steamer Conaet, Capt. John Morris, bound
for Manitowoc, where we arrived about
half past four O'Clock p. m, in time to
visit the new ships building there. The
steamer Orion is nearly finished, and is
the finest modelled lake steamer we ever
saw. She is a beauty, and reflects great
credit upon M Rand, who built her
Her bull is painted black and upper works
white. In size she is about the same as
the Sea Bird ... "a
The " big thing" however in the vessel
line, is Capt Morgan's new vessel, the
Michigan She was formerly the steamer
Michigan, we'll known on the lakes, aud
was transformed into vessel. She is one
of the largest vessels on the lakes, and
will carry about 650,000 feet of lumber.
Capt, Morgan Intends running her, the
present. season, between East Saginaw and
ports on Lake Erie We wish him every
success in his new enterprise.
Manitowoc is growing rapidly and in a
short time will be one of the first towns
in point of population and business in the
State. During the present summer new
harbor is to be built there. the people of
the city and county having raised s60,>
600 for that purpose, which, when com
pleled will be the best Oh this lake.
While there We were introduced to
Robinson, who keeps one of the best drug
stores in lhe north west. We were SUR
prised at the extensiveness of his estab-
lishment.
