'sEben-e-zer Mead'' was again thun
dered forth from the mouth of the in

There still being no answer, the officer
stepped a pace or two forward.
''Is thereeany Mead here?"

There was still no answer,

A HOG LIVES FOUR MONTHS WITHOUT
FOoD.-The Ashland Times is response
bic for the following hoggish wonder /:
Ahog owned by Mr.. Stentz, in Orange
townships this County, was lost some
time during the winter and after many
attempts was not to be found. Some
four months afterward, one of Mr.. SIS
sons was engaged in a rabbit hunt and
had succeeded in 'treeing'' the rabbit
under straw stack. While punching
for the furtailed animal between fence,
they heard grunt, which quite aston
ished them and put their reasoning
power to the test to account for the
grant, and to- convince themselves it
did not belong to the animal pursued,
On a'cl0ser- Inspection it was found to
proceed from the missing hog, which
had survived four months without food.
The animal weighed but forty pounds
on being taken out, was quite a large
hog previous to its Imprisonment
Under moderate doses of corn, &c, his
hogship is doing ''as well as could be
expected"
Perhaps it was fed spiritually

Three years ago honey was known here but
as honey of squill or other medical compost
tons and no body put any great confidence in
its medical powers, as it had never been tried
but in cases Of ordinary colds &c. 1t was very
dear and not very good. Now it is quite COM
mon and the price is a mere tride, consequently
a remedy everybody can use. I, the undersign-
ed, have known it and used it much in Europe
and had the. greatest wish to. introduce bees
here, assimpOrted Honey never has the same
medical qualities as fresh and the price too
high to continue the use of it long and in large
quantities. But it was not an easy task to

The LIST member for Christiansted's town

Speaker.
The Chairman pointed out, that s go of the
Rules Of Business afforded an opportunity for
entering an amendment by a member, in case
of the members of the Council voted for it,
and the Governor consented.
The LIST member for Frederiksted's town
(Sarauw) and the 2nd member for Christian
sted's country district (Ratclife) having de-
clared, that they would enter an amendment
for the reduction of$40O in the amount ofsupport
for Christiansted, and the Governor having
consented, it was unanimously agreed to with
IA votes, that such an amendment be discussed,
Rules of Business s go.
The amendment of the two members runs
thus:
THAT the amount $465O be reduced to $4450,
thus that the difference $500 be deducted
from the sum $4,000 demanded for the sup
port in money for the paupers in Christian
sted."
to which the Governor entered the following
sub-amendment:
"Instead of the figures '$445O and $500 be
put respectively 1860 and $780,"
The Governor stated, that he found cause to
cHteI Cuo SUPERINTENDENT Tor the possibility OF
avoiding the necessity of an extra Money-Bill.
He did not consider it impossible, that $1,000
mightnbe a sufficient amount for the support in
ChristianstedGg1
The 1st member for Frederiksted's town
Sarauw) did not in reality consider it of great
Importance if the reduction be fixed at $4OO or
5000; but his view in bringing in the amend
ment was only, to compel the introduction of an
extra Money Bill in order that the Council
night have an opportunity to appoint a Commit
