An Important Decision.

An important decIsion has just
been rendered by the Supreme Court
Of Maryland in regard to the relig-
ious belief of witnesses. The case in
question was an action. for debt,
where the defense made objection to
witness on the ground of religious
bolief. The objection was founded
on tho old common law rule, as well
us IA provision in the State Constitu-
ton providing that a belief in the ex-
i-tenco of God, with a system Of
future reward and punishment, was
the only requisite. 1t was shown by
direct testimony to impeach the wit
ness that, 80 far as could be gather
ed from his expressions, he came
within both these limitations In re-
buttal it was shown that the witness
did not believe in personal God,
but only in Supreme Spirit pervad-
ing hature. The court held that a
belief 10 a personal God was not nee.
essary, and that the witness, by ac-
knowledglng merely the existence Of
Supreme Being or Power, establish.
cd his competency to testify.

THE HERALD.
Hog Statistics.


From the Toledo (o), Blade, November4
Every person is Interested 10 hog
statistics, since the price Of pork af'
fects the cost of living very matters
ally. In February last, tho number
Of hogs in tho United States were
placed at 81 796, 300 against 80 457 =
500 in February 1871, and 26 75l 400
in February, 1870. The increase of
about three millions last year, it will
be remem bered, caused a great de-
cline 10 the price Of pork and lard,
and it is reasonable to suppose that
an almost equal increase the present
wear over the past will have tend
ency 10 further reduce the value OF
pork. All ;he hogs and cattle IN the
West will be fed this winter, as corn
is 30 cheap that farmers will feed it
rather than take it TO market. Pork
at from three 10 FIVE cents per pound
is better than corn at present prices
out West.
We give below 6 statement which
is z ven each year 10 February by
the Department of Agriculture, show
ing the number Of hogs in each Of the
States named in 1871 and 1872; also,
the reports for 1860 and 1870 as OBJ
toiped from tho banana Gtatistic6.
