Mr.. Fillmore, who served out Genera
TaylOrs time, had a noble wife, and she
and her daughter are remembered as two
of the most cultivated, refined and at
tractive ladies ever in the White House.
Mrs. Pierce was always an invalid,
and after the sudden death Of her only
child, young and promising boy, her
health gave way entirely, and her posi-
ton as hostess was a most undesirable
one to her.
Miss Harriet Lane made her Uncle's
administration famous for its social at
fractions. She was one ofthe most beau
tiful of women, as well as oneof the tru-
est and kindest of nieces, and Mr.. Buch-
anan was peculiarly fortunate in his So
eiaI relations. though he lived and died
bachelor.
Mrs. Lincoln's career was checkered
from the first, and the awful tragedy
that closed her life at the White House,
secured for her the sympathy of the peo-
pie.
Mrs. Patterson was mistress of the
White House during President John
sons administration, her mother being
a confirmed invalid. The family great
ly endeared themselves to the people by
their simplicity and refined unassuming
manners.
Mrs. Grant the present occupant of the
White House leads quiet, retired life,
seems inclined to avoid all publicity,
and spends her fine mostly in the soci-
ETY. of her children and intimate rela-

talk, the majority combining themselves
to pantomimic displays. Finally the
big Indian spirit appeared, as if to close
the performance in due form, and spoke
a piece as follows:
''Me big spirity! Me boss here.
Spirits make everybody believe. Heaps
of folks comes here now. Folks must
pay to see spirits. Mary Andrews get
two dollars every time. She no sit for
less. Spirits no come. Ugh"
And so it happened that thereafter the
happy medium of communication be-
tween mortals and the spirits of the de-
parted exacted a fee of 3 for every sit
ting, whether the number Of spirit seek
ers were many or few. And as the rush
is now very great, her income is by no
means incOnsiderable. Frequently she
is required to sit as many as six times a
day, and scarcely ever less than four
times So that her earnings are from 81
to So every day. This income she re-
ligiOusly pockets herself, and appropri-
ates wholly to her own use, greately to
the indignation and wrath of the Keel
ers, who make no secret of their dis
pleasure with her for not dividing.
They say that she earns all the money,
while they are compelled to undergo all
the trouble and expense; and all they
make is the profits that accrue from the
board of human visitors and the keep
ing of horses, however they can't very
well afford to kill the goose that lays
THE GOLDEN EGG,
and as the spirits won't come unless
Mary Andrews is present, they are fore
ed to submit and allow her to pocket her
fees. But Mr.. Keeler says that he is
going to talk with the spirits about it.
He thinks that he ought to be paid
something for his own time i'll superin-
tending the operations; though visitors
generally had quiet as lief he would not
be present, not withstanding he presists
in joining every circle that is formed
when he is about. But his presence is
not absolutely necessary, as it has been
discovered that the shows go on quite
as we'll without him as when he is there.
With this minute and extended ae-
count of the origin and rise of these
strange developments, which has been
obtained from the party themselves and
from the neighbors, and may therefore
be considered in a measure apOchyphaI,
we will slip over the two years during
which the manifestations have been
getting into good running order aud OBJ

TTRRANA OHIO WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER D, 1871

could turn his attention to. \ large
corn crop always adds to the crop o.
hogs, as farmers can, in August, Septem-
Der, October and November, put on
about two hundred pounds to each hog,
when they are of good quality; so that
pigs and shoats can be made into large
hogs every soon when we have plenty
of corn.
This year there was no inducement
like that that existed last year. Last
seasons's prices being so low, and it be-
ing the general expectation to get low
prices this season, the same attention
was not paid to hogs, and the farmers
turned their attention to other products,
such as hemp, tobacco, etc. Besides,
there has been a short crop Of corn made
in the West this year, owing to the
great drouth. As evidence Of this, you
have June rise in the Ohio river, and
you have no coal-boat rise since last
spring, and it has been so dry in the
Northwest that the country has been on
fire, and great losses have occurred, all
owing to the excessive dry weather.
The corn crop is said to be fine in Mis-
souri, Iowa, Kansas, etc, but short in
the South and in Kentucky, Ohio, etc.
Owing to the extremely short crop Of
corn, farmers cannot feed, and are push
ing their hogs OH the market. Where
they have corn to feed with, water is so
scarce that they could not feed their
hogs and have driven them to market,
that being the best they can do. This
will account for 50 early receiving so
large a number, and by being sent in so
soon they will be much lighter than
usual.
Sol conclude that we are not to have
so many hogs this year as last, the
reasons to me being conclusive on that
point. ,'
