Bold ATTEMPT TO STEAL HoG.-On
Friday night last: rather bold attempt was
made to rob the hog pen of Mr.. Jonathan
Haincs OF this town. The thieves had gain
ed entrance to the pen. and knocked a hog
in the head, infcting such injuries as TO ne
cessitste its slaughter the next day. Their
purposes were however frustrated by Mr.. II.
arousing in time to drive away the dcpreda-
tors. Those of our citizens who are fortu-
nate enough to have fat hogs, would do we'll
to keep an eye on their pens, as the scarcity
of meat, and the high price which it COM
mands, will present strong inducements to q
certain class in our community to resort to
stealing to supply their empty larders

FLYING MACHINES.

Shall we ever, with all our
science, succeed in transporting
ourselves at pleasure through the
air, making that our pathway
just as we DO the grosser fuidj
water. which we traverse so essily
in every direction? This is a
question which we suppose every
one of our readers has asked him.
self more than once, for theidea Of
aerial navigation is 80 natural that
we find every age ofthe world has
more or less discussed it. just
now in San Francisco this subject
is attracting great attention, from
the fact that the model ofan eriat
ship exhibited there, and some ex-
pcriments made upon it, gave
complete satisfaction to the engin-
GERS present. An Erial Naviga-;
tion Company has been formed
for the laudahle purpose of raising
funds to enable the protector to
construct a full sized air ship!
This will be completed, it is ex-
pected, in about couple ofmonths,
when the aronauts, if successful,
intend paying US flying visit all
the way from the shores of the
Pacific. The Avitor, as the new
invention is named, is to be pro-
PEELED by steam, carrying for this
purpose five-horse power steam
engine, and is to be elevated and
supported in the air partly by
gas and partly by planes extend.
ing on each side to the distance OF
about twenty feet at the centre,
These planes will be so constructed
in sections that they may be de-
pressed or elevated by the rudder
at pleasure. The well-known and
fatal objection to balloons, that
they are the mere sport Of the
winds, having no propelliDg pow
er within themselves, is thus got
rid of. Balloons have been chiefly
found useful for scientific purposes,
observing the oscillations of the
magnetic needle andits dip, and ex-
perimentingon the density, temper
ature, humidity and electricity of
the air in it's different elevations;
put if this @rial ship, the Avitor,
prove rs great q asuccess as many
in California anticipate, we are on
the eve of a complete revolution in
our mode Of travelling.
