HOG-PEN.

This must be cool in Summer and
warm in Winter-to effect which, it
must have a stone, brick, or con-
crete wall, or a double, wooden
wall, with the space filled in with
saw-dust, tan-bark, or straw, well
rammed in. Then it should have
floor that can be easily kept clean
and dry. Where the bottom is SAN
dy or gravelly, and no water to
trouble, you can make a very good
floor by putting on four inches of
cement, made Of five parts of sand
and gravel, to one Of water.lime.
This floor will be too much for any
hogs nose to NEEDLE with, and it
will hold the liquid manure. 1t is
quite important to save this liquid
manure, as when it is suffered to
run away, it usually carries with it
about half the value of all the ma
nure produced. Where the bottom
is clay or slate rock, it should be
well drained before the concrete is
put down. A good floor may be
made Of hard burned brick or fiat
stone laid in water-lime mortar, or
it may be paved with cobble stone;
but in some way a good, water-tig ht
! easily cleaned floor should be made.
In the West, where large num-
bers of hogs are kept, perhaps the
best kind Of floor to save labor and
keep the hogs clean, would be made
Of two by four hard wood scantling,
set up edgeways and seven-eights
inch apart; this let's the manure
through, and the floor is kept clean
without labor. In this case the
floor should be elevated two and
one-half feet above the ground, and
the pens should be long and narrow,
so that the manure can be reached
from the outside, and the pen should
be busted every day with plaster or
quick lime, Stacked with strong
briue-this will deodorize the often
sive manure. This kind of floor h as
been used in England with great
success. This pen should be divi-
ded into convenient apartments, for
the purpose Of separating store,
fattening hogs, and breeders, ac-
cording to the way you wish to feed
them. One room should be large
enough to set good steamer with
steam tub, for cooking grain, meal,
roots, etc.-say lOxl2 feet. A con-
venient supply of water is import
ant, and for this purpose, where
there is no elevated spring, it is
well to build the pen on side hill,
so that the upper side may be on a
level with the second floor, where
cistern may be placed on the upper
side and draw the water down into
the pen with pipe. This may be
arranged so as to draw water into
your steamer, and also into your
steam tub. With this kind of pen,
second story is very convenient,
as then the grain can be drawn
through spouts into the feeding
room below.

The Oil City Times comes it rath-
er strong on the subject of the popula-
ton of that place, as the following
will tell;
Oil City is reported as having only
2,951 inhabitants, when in point OF
fact the population of the district,
which is known as Oil City, abroad,
has a population of nearly nine thous-
and. This arises from the fact that
the Boro. is very small in territory,
aud that some of our most thickly pop
pulated suburbs lie in the adjoining
townships. And then across the river
is the Boro. of Venango City, with its
(now)2,0 2,000inhabitants. The above facts
show another necessity for city Of
about three miles square at this point,
which would include large portion Of
what is now set down as the popula-
tion Of Cornplanter township, Venangc
City, small part of Cranberry town,
ship and Oil City Boro.

"A singular accident occurred in a
spoke factory in West Chester, in this
State, one day last week. A Ratchet
had been laid upon the table of small
circular saw, aud the jaIring of the ta-
BILE brought the hatchet in contact with
the saw, when it was thrown with great
force across the mill, striking in its
way, colored man named Henry
Robinson, who WAS working about the
mill. in the breast, breaking the skin
and knocking him DOWN and then halt
burying itself in he ground. The
man was not seriously injured, but the
hatchet was thrown with such force
that had the edge struck him, lie

Tho War.

The daily dispatches with which the
ocean cable 10 burdened seem to vary
so little from day to day that an anx-
ious public is about tired reading these
daily repetitions. BY Paris balloon news
we have every day that the city is we'll
provisioned and is starving; that fire.
quent riots occur, aud that the citizens
preserve the strictest order; that Gen.
Trochu has the confidence Of all class
es, and that the Reds are expected
daily to revolt against his authority.
Millions of men are rushing to enroll
themselves under the flag of the Repub.
lie, and hundreds of cannon and thous-
ands of small arms are being manufac-
tured at the arsenals of France. Then
we have the thrilling daily procla.
nations Of Minister Gambetta Ga regu.
lar George Francis Train) calling on
the French people to come forward
and get shot for the good of their
country.
When the war broke out the public
sentiment of this country was with III,
Prussians; not because we hated the
French people, but because We hated
the tyrant who ruled them, and We
prayed for his overthrow. Toward
both the French and German peopl,
we had nothing but the best wishes. 1
was war of King William agains
Napoleon, and when the latter wen
down at Sedan, We boped to see the in
vasion cease. This might have beei
accomplished had the new Govern
ment of France possessed the prope

of the Prussians, they might have don

A Contra dicticn.

We find the following commuhica-
tion in regard to an item published in
this paper recently, in the Titusville
Herald. We are always ready to make
correction when anything gets into our
columns which is incorrect:
TIDIoUTE, Oct. 81, 1870.
Editors Morning Herald:
GENTLEMEN I'VE observe in a
number of the 25th inst, an item ac.
credited TO the FOREST COUNTY RE.
PUBLICAN, to the effect "that one Of
the proprietors of the Fagundus Farm
was arrested and held to bail upon a
charge of stealing a trunk from onc
Scott Hummason."
Certainly the position and character
of the owners Of said tract are suifi
ciently we'll known by yourselves and
the public to protect them against any
such charge, and a journal Of tht
hlgh stan0lnS OF the Herald should
not admit to its columns an item il
itself damaging to the character O
ono who is beyond roproach unless
we'll satisfied of it correctness.
The facts were simply that the trunk
was taken by error from the railroad
depot to the Fagundas FarE as thu
property of laborer on the premises
Mr.. Fagundus was at the time coufn
ed the house with sickness, and in hi
absence / instructed the teamster t,
return it TO the depot, and supposinl
it had been done, dismissed the matte
from my mind. The present suit wa
evidently instituted against Mr.. F. a
species Of black mail which of ceurs
he does not propose to submit 10.

Shooting tffray at Shamburg--Full
Particulars.

A shooting affray occurred at Shait-
burg on Wednesday evening last at
about o'clock. We give full and re-
liable particulars of the occurrence,
the escape of one. Of the guilty parties,
the committal Of the other by Justice
Poor, together with a card by DR.. L.
c. Read, of Shamburg, descriptive of
the nature of the wounds, Drs. Read
and Williams, assisted by DIR. Wynne
of this city, having been called to at
tend the injured men. The affair ere.
ates great excitement in Shamburg.
The facts, as We learn them from an
unquestionable source, are as follows i:
1t appears that contractor named
Jane McCart had during the afternoon
of Wednesday imbibed rather to free
ly Of the murderous whiskey retailed
there, and in consequence was very
much intoxicated, in the evening
about nine O'Clock, when he met one
Dennis Maley and others, all more or
less drunk. A dispute arose between
McCart and Maley about the payment
of some money, which finally resulted
in a fight between the two. Maley got
McCart down, when Thomas Farrell,
one of the bystanders. interfered and
separated them.
McCart followed Maley to where he
had seated himself upon -four barrel,
in front of Currie's store, and the two
were abusing each other, when Pat
McPhillips, brother-in-law of Nc
Cart, came up. caught hold of Maley
and said to him with, an oath, "You
don't fight with man who is druSk." ="

This is true, and as far as heard
from it is about the only truth Mr..
White has ever been guilty of telling
in regard to himself. If ever man
was hated, despised and loathed, White
is that man. He has made himself
offensive in the nostrils Of every decent
man in the Goth District, and bis
editorial decapitation is hailed with
joy by all who knew him. He has
been the death Of several newspapers

A DEER KILLED IN TowN-On
Friday afternoon of last week, as the
employees in the saw mill of Hyde,
Whitmore & Co, were at work, their
attention was arrested by q noise in
the race in front of the mill, and to
their astonishment they beheld fine
young buck struggling in the water

diately made for the spot, and a few
well directed blows from cant-hook
soon dispatched his lordship. He was
splendid specimen of the heet-footed

supposed he was driven into town by
