acted nobly. ..--.
Mr.. Harris, of Wake, said the very reasons
advanced against reconsideration, were the
reasons for it. He would defy the delegate
from Chatham, to show line here giving
practical relief This ordinance was all fog
and dust. He desired to see it so written
that the people could understand it. 1t was
a nestegg for lawyers. He detied those who
advocate the ordinance to show how the
middle class is relieved by it. Last night,
the ordinance was passed through double
quick. He hoped the delegate from Chat
ham did not go TO Granville with such an
electioneering document as this.

LIQUOR CONSUMED IN DELAwARE.--Accor.
ding to the report of Revenue Commissioner
Wells IN his report to Congress, the amount
paid for liquor consumed in this State, dur
ing the year 1867, was three million seven hun.
dred and seventy thousand three hundred aud
flty-ive dollars. This was the amount sworn
to by the retailers who paid tax on their sales
over the counter. On one fourth Of the liquor
sold there was probably no return made. This
would make according to the census, about $22
tor every man, woman and child 10 the State,
or about $3.50 for each man. At this rate. men
IN Delaware spend considerably more for liquor
than they do for rent The whole amount of
liquor sold at retail in the United States ae.
cording to the same authority, was 81, ,4S3, ,49l, :
sos. In other words, the liquor sold in the
United States, in one year and a half, accor-
ding TO these returns, would, within fraction,
pay the National debt Aud as there is great
deal sold Of which no return is made, the pro
liabilities are that there is enough liquor sold
in the United States annually to pay all our
indebtedness. IL Delatcdreax.

THE Hoe QUEsTION.-The people of Mil
ford call their paper, the Mutual Friend, the
"hog organ" and we don't care to steal the
sobriquet, but we must keep up with matters
of news. Just now everybody looks sleek and
greasy and eats and talks hog. 1t is the sub
ject Of general interest, and here are the items
we have gathered.
Mr.. Jas Evans, at Dover Mills, had hog
killing on Saturday last, one of which meas
ured feet inches in length and weighed 69S
lbs, another COG, and ten others averaged about
$50 lbs each. A good deal of interest was
manifested as to the weight of the large hog.
The boys got up guessing box and all who
felt willing backed up their judgment by de
posting 25 cents, with their guess. The lucky
man who guessed right Phil. Burnite, took
the box and contents, amounting to 1925.
Mr.. j. Lowery, of Milford, proprietor oi
the Milford Hotel the Mutual Friend news
paper and all the big hogs of the town, killed
- on Saturday, the heaviest weighing 52l3
the hghtest 35l-aggregate weight 5O564. A
guess box was also made over them. Number
Of guesses, 357, (about 100 less than last year;
amount of money in box $50 25. The near
est guess ION aggregate weight) was 50554, by
Aaron Marvil, living at Milton, who never saw
the hogs
Mr.. j. c. Lippincott, of the National Hotel
Middletown, slaughtered four hogs on Tuesday
week, which weighed l440 pounds, the largest
! weighing 406 pounds.
