DEATH OF Hon, WV. G. SwAy.-We
regret deeply to record the death of Hon.
WIN. G. Swan, formerly Of Knoxville.
He died, after an illness Of about two
weeks, at IS Adams street, His funeral
took place this morning at eleven o clock,
and his remains we're followed to Elm.
wood for interment, we learn, by large
coneoSrse of friends, Mr.. Swan was a
pstiye Of East Tennessee, sri prac-
tioed lev With great success at Knoxville,
At one time hs held q position on
the bench. When the war broke out he
cast his lot with the South, snd was
elected to i lss Confederate Congress,
Were he served with distinction, AM - -
on the most eonE9entisl terms with JEFF.
ferson Davis. When the war closed, he
located in New Orleans and practiced
law a year or two, and was engaged, we
believe, for tine in some railroad pro-
jec,s. About eighteen months ago he
came to Memphis and at once took a
prominent position at the bar. He leaves
a large family aud wide circle Of
friends TO mourn his death.

How TO Unhifch a Team.

THERE is always right way to do every
thing, and the right way to unhitch team
is that which is the quickest and safest.
We have often noticed farm boys, and not
only farm boys but men, disconnect team
from a wagon in very unsafe manner !;
some thing as follows: The driver springs
from the wagon, goes to the sides of the
horses, puts up the lines, unbuckles them
at the bits, lets down the neck yoke, I'M
bitches the tugs and leads the horses away
disconnected.
Now this mode is very common, and
very risky Let us notice why. In the
first place, as soon as the lines are put up
you have lost your means Of control, as
soon as the pole is down your horses are
in peril. Surprising they should take
fright, which is common to the most quiet
animals, the result of a team running
with only the tugs hitched can be imagined.
We have cases in mind where horses have
sped away with maddened fury in exactly
this condition. The pole blowing the
ground, and at every plunge of the fren-
zied animals, the wagon striking on their
heels, frightening them to desperation.
Now the right way, or good way at least,
is to keep the lines in hand or where they
can be reached until the tugs are all I'M
hitched then your team is free from the
wagon unless stationary neck-yoke is
used; next go directly in front of the
horses and let down the neck yoke; and
after this separate them as convenient

A Servants Revenge.

a DISTRESSING story of servants
revenge" comes from quiet part of
Berkshire, England. Lieutenant Colonel
Hickie had nurse in his family named
Elizabeth Barry. She was discharged
from his service, and threatened to have
her revenge. One day during the absence
of Colonel HicSie and his wife, the nurse
disappeared, taking with her her employ
er's youngest child, girl of II months
old. The parents were thrown into a
dreadful state of grief as night came on
and their child was not brought back.
From that day no tidings have been heard
of nurse or child. The detectives were
set to work, but Colonel Hickie writes to
the papers to enlist "the sympathy and
help of the millions of selfmade detect
ives who may be found in the fathers
and mothers of England. They alone can
conceive the awful agony we suffer as
one sad day after another passes away, and
our hopes of seeing our dear child are still
deferred" In case the woman may have
escaped to this country, we append the
Colonies description of his child:
"The distinctive mark on her face, the
mole on the right side of her upper lip,
the peculiar blue vein Ga birth mark un-
der the left eye of our child, and the
deepdimple on her chin, all lead us to hope
for a speedy recovery of our lost one, if we
could only secure the eyes and the hearts
that would watch for her everywhere
To these, as our last, our highest hope
under God, bereaved father and mother
now appeal, and wait in deep suspense the
result"

The Shiyering Season.

1t is impossible to suppose that any human being
can consider an attack of Fever and Ague light
visitation. And yet Thousands act as if such ca
lamty was of no consequence; while thousands
who actually suffering from the distressing
complaint neglect to adopt the certain means of
cure. 1t ought to be known in every locality sub
ject to this scourge or which is infested with re-
mittent fever, or any other epidemic produced by
malaria, that HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS
taken in advance or at the commencement of the
unhealthy season, will fortify the system against
the atmospheric poison which generates these dis
tempers This admirable mvigorant-harmless
agreeable, and possessing rarer medicinal virtues
than any other tonic at present known will break up
the parOxsysms of intermittent or remtent fever in
from forty-eight hours to ten days. Such is the
universal testimony from districts where periodical
fevers have been combatted with this powerful
vegetable Chologogue. In a thievish neighborhood
wise men bar their doors and windows yet strange
to say if the neighborhood happens to be
pcrvaded by aerial poison they seldom take the
trouble to put their bodies in state of defence
against the subtle enemy. Shvering victims en-
deayoring in vain to warm your blue hands over the
ire, or consuming with the fever that follows the
chill, remember that HOSTETTER'S BITTERS is
an a5soEvte speedy and isfaI,6Le specific for your
distressing malady

lance to the farmer to know in what way
he should feed his fattening hogs so as TO
obtain the greatest amount of valuable
pork for the least expenditure in the mat
ter of food.
When we use the term valuable, we
mean the pork that will be in all respects
fit for the curer, and therefore bring the
highest price in the market; for it would
be no difficult matter to make exceedingly
fat pork at very little cost, by feeding on
beechnuts, slaughter house refuse, or
other matters that would be good enough
for the pig, but bad for the person who
had to eat him, after he is made into pork.
Canadian farmers rely much upon peas,
of which they raise considerable quanti-
ties, to fatten up their spare hogs into
pork, and very good they are for the pur-
pose, perhaps the best of any single arti-
Gle that can be named to make really
good pork. But as peas are highly nitro
genous (flesh -forming), containing gluten
while Indian corn or barley are more car
bonaceous (fat and heat forming) con-
tanning starch and sugar, a mixture of peas
with either barley or corn, both ground
together into meal, will be found to fatten
the animals quicker and at less expense
than where only one of the articles had
been used. 1t will be seen that peas are
the most desirable for the hog when it is
first put up To fatten, as on them it will
gain rapidly in weight, by filing up flesh
on its bones, especially the hams, but once
the hog has become well-filled and solid,
the fattening process would be greatly ex-
pedited by using cor, or barley meal.
IL will scarcely be credited how much is
gained by cooking the food of fatting hogs;
AMI if that cannot well be done, the food
may be greatly improved by being soaked
in milk or water, whether 1t be first ground
or used whole. by so doing, if the soak
