Pork.

correspondent Of the Utica Herald talks
sensibly in relation to the care and feeding
OF hogs. He says "the quality OF pork is
greatly intiuenced by the feed The dairy
makes poor pork-iabby and soft--pork
that will fry away much, and what Is left be
worth little This il the case whether milk
or wheat is te'i. But il is remuneratlve to
make this pork; it is therefore made. II
you want pork fer your own nse, solid
bearing the heat, and q sweet morsel when
cooked, you must feed the grains.
Old corn makes, perhaps. as good pork
as anything. Peas are excellent and pay
well. We used formerly to fat with peas

feed, and give cold water to drink
Gold water also, TO cool the heated body
OF the animal in hot weather, Is necessary,
that is, access to water-better if showered
OF dripping copiously, as we have a case in
town, where the race of a mill is made to
do this, keeping the hogs and the pen clean
and cool. There Is evident comfort and
prosperity in this pen. There is little or no
stencil, which affects pork, making your

considerable changes in his host. and was
rather inclined to be more hopeful abont
his bet. In the first place. the old dress.

the habit OF wearing. had been discarded
for Christian gentleman's dress; the
shocking bad hat was amongst the things
which had been; his hair and beard were
neatly trimmed, and he did not walk
about the village in slippers like Grip

and held card-parties. He escorted Miss

Strange Casualty.


The body of man in an advanced stage
of decomposition was discovered on We'd
nesday, near Petroleum Centre, few
yards from the path leading up what is
known as q" Wild Cat Hollow" Several
dollars in money and papers were found
upon the body, which showed his name
to be John Gl6sky, workman in that
vicinity who had, been missing for several
mouths
d y coroner's jury was impannelled,
which had not rendered verdict at the
time our informant left; but from circum-
stances connected with the finding and
position Of the body it appeared that the
unfortunate had attempted to commit
suicide, for his undershirt was torn into
shreds to make a rope, which was around
his neck. ..... ,.tf
But it would also seem that in endeav-
oring to climb tree for the purpose of
afiixing the opposite end of the rope, he
had fallen to the ground, breaking his
neck Instantly. Providence thus preven-

To the POle---Captain Halls New Arctic
Expedition. rs .t.#.J

Mr.. John Morrison, an old whaler and
shipping agent, resident of this city, has
been authorized to make the requisite ship
ment of men, materials, &C., by Captain
Hall, for his new Arctic expedition. Upon
application yesterday at his Office, at No.
100 South street, Mr. Morrison stated
that powerful Government tug-boat lying
at the Washington navy yard, is shortly
expected in this city. Her burden has
lately been increased from 325 to 400 tons.
On her voyage here it is pre- posed that
patent application of oil for feeding her
furnaces be used, which, if it should prove
successful, will enable her to dispense with
other fuel. Captain S. o. Burlington,
from Groton, in Connecticut, who has
spent his life in whaling, is to have charge
of the Polaris, which ID the name of the
craft A scientific corps will accompany
the expedition, including the eminent
chemist, DR.. Bessells, of Heidelburg,
who arrived here few days since from
Germany, and who formed one of the
scientific corps on board the last North
German expedition.
The chief engineer is Emil Sehuman,
a Saxton, and his assistant, Scotchman
named John Wilson the wages of the
former il $40 month, and of the latter
$40.nA phenomenon goes out with them
in the shape of Swede, named 4. Ia.
Berggren, who is shipped for blacksmith
and fireman; the doctor who examined him
previous to his signing t he articles stated
he had never seen such muscular develop
ment The shoes he wears measure I31
inches in length. The name Of the first
able-bodied seaman registered is w. Jes-
