FINE LOT OF Hoes Yesterday Mr..

Brothers, in the town of Waldwick,
sixty hogs, which averaged over 400

lot of hogs ever brought to this marke t
and we doubt if any other such can be
produced in tie State. They were all
raised by the Messrs Jackson.-Tri-

Speaking Evil.

Speaking evil of ones neighbors is
a hldeous crime 1t works to the
prejudice of their fame, safety and
welfare, and tends to bad ends. 1t is
a restless evil which disturbs society,
spreads dissension in communities,
wherever it is practiced. 1t is an
enemy to peace, comfort and christian
good brceding-still more dreadful
is this evil, when it is found among
and practiced by those who are mem
bers and loud spoken professors of
the Lord Jesus Christ s Church.
There is sometimes malignant
pleasure manifested, a studious recol-
lection of every thing that can be
brought forward, delight in hearing
anything spoken against others, a
secret in knowing that another fall
will be an occasion Of our rIse-aIl
this is base and ticnlish to an ex-
treme. The impropriety and sinful
ness Of evil speaking will appear II
we consider that it is entirely opro-
site to the whole tenor Of the Chris
tan religion, expressly condemned
and prohibited as evil. No practice
hath more severe punishments de
nounce,l against it it j. an evidence

Youth and Old Age.

What is youth? When compared
with nature we find an allegory
Look at the youth of either sex, there
il some executions. What is it that
causes the radiant beaming face p
Ask the morning. What is it that
causes its brightness, yea morning,
the brightest Of all the day? Behold
the ruling orb of day as he lightens
up the horizon it is surely this that
arrays the morning in all its lowell
ness. And is not youth the morning
of life; and is it not the ruling orb OF
the youthful heart-Happiness that
causes the rosy cheeks, merry laugh,
bright eve and sweet voice to blend
so harmoniously with the gay flowing
eddies of life s river, as it flows along
by sweet smelling flowers on every
side. Alas youth is as the flower,
it will and must fade. Young friends
look at that decrepid old father with
his hoarv locks, sunken cheeks and
faded eve; was he not once young
Yes, his now hoarv locks were once
beautiful raven curls, his snnken
cheeks, rosy dim eyes, bright as your
own. But ah his youthful days are
passed, and SO will the youth of onr
lives soon pass, and we, if permitted
to live, ere long, will become as the
old man. Youthful reader laugh no
more at the old and decrepld; they
were once young like yourself-and
though your thoughts now may be
bright and your future seem brilliant
and gay, as the picture is beheld BY,
the minds eve Of youth. Stop and
think what were the old man s
thoughts, when youths bloom was on
his cheek he too had brilliant hopes
of the future-but his thoughts Of the
future now are far different; he sees
quite near the grave in which shall
soon be laid those old weary limbs
Young friend do you ever think SEN
siblv of death If You would have
the fact called to your minds that
Won too must die-mavhe Young
Walk with me to the cemetery and
there read upon some of the marble
tomhs. "Died in his or her youth. -
Youthful eyes that now scans these
lives bright because of the Joy OF the
heart that now beats even as Is the
life Of it's vonng owner; remember
that many young eyes have become
dim and hearts ceased to beat. When
the strong arm Of death has arrested
Nature and the immortal soul has
taken its flight for eternity then
young friends, is that soul prepared
for that land, where the JOY of youth
is felt in every heart If not, Oh
stop and think who has given you the
happiness you enjoy in youth-lt Is
God and unto him must you give an
account of the spending of that
youthful life. NJ. Il, M.

the IN mory Of JOHN HANSON THOMAS,
the Ajax while living Of the Fedora

claimed him as his honored friend,
whose memory would not soon pass
away. He closed by saying that the

freemen of Frederick county would
inlorse their principles and actions

they will, responded voices from
the crowd.
Gen. Thomas G. Worthington, the
game chicken from Prince Georges
county, followed and closed the dis
cussion. He saw before him Colonel
Cramer who was with him at the
Battle Of Bladensburg. Whoever else
NAV have run on that occasion, the
Colonel of the Creagerstown Nolun-
teers did not. He could vouch tor
his heroism and bravery. He made
an appeal to the old soldiers present
TO vindicate the fame and name Of
their gallant commander when they
went to the polls to vote. The gallant
| Commodore Joshua Barney is report
ed to have once said-that he never
knew the Republicans and Federallsts
to agree but in one thing-runni'g
array at Bladr"sJuy My fellow
citizens, said Gen. Worthington, " if
there was little stampede on that
occasion, in which men under peculiar
circumstances were forced to retreat,
! | trust there are none here present
who feel the reproach as adaering to
their skirts. 1t is soldiers first
duty to obey orders-and rs General
! Winder gave the order to retreat,
there was no alternative left but to
comply with the imperative order Of
the Federal Commander. Now if me
and my friend, Mr.. Ross, can agree
upon tIl'tl l'olhl, We 0"h 'FiAv 'iA' VII
ference on other matters, and let the
people decide for themselves. With
this understanding, he related good
many anecdotes, and kept the crowd
laughing until he got through.
Squire George Y. Fox remembers
the time very we'll remembers that
old Isaac IIany with his basket full of
elegant cakes and barrel Of good
cider was there; and how the people
enioyed good dinner and listened TO
the great lawyers from Frederick ar

manners; it is the adherence OF all
wise and good men it is exceedingly
injurious to society and inconsistent
with the relation we bear to each
other as christians; it is opposite to
the examples which Christ laid down
and whom we profess to follow. He
commands US, Follow Inc. No."
this is exempli6ed in walkins acting,
speaking as he did while in the flesh; ;
and those who profess him should en-
deayor to act out what he has com
manded. But some take great pleas
ure to act as though they had full
license to do as they think best, Ieav-
ing out of question anything relating
to the christian profession. Some de-
light to speak evil Of one another; 1t
become second nature, and are not
satisfied unless they keep up n com
motion; if it dies out, they revive 1t
again; they must have something t"
talk about; the well becomes dry
they borrow from others and throw it
in and then commence to pump again;
what a fepdish disposition. They
make pits for others to fall in, but
most generally have the good luck to
fall into them themselves; ! was only
in fun say some if defeated but this
is a monstrous fun, kill a man or wo-
man and say it was done in fun. No
one is at liberty to destroy the repu-
tation or character of any one
Thou shalt not kill, is broad com
mand, and this can be done by evil
speaking. An example here cited
and founded on truth.
A very pious minister living IN one
of our large cities; a deacon OF his
church lived just opposite. One night
when retiring, the deacon > family
attention was drawn to an unusual
voice across the street; they all look
ed out and to their horror, they saw
the minister beating his wife around
and around the room with the stove
poker; his wife and two chlIdren
running and screaming at the top OF
their voices. This scene continued
until his wife fell exhausted to til"
floor; the deacon, wife and daughter
all saw this; can II be possible. (eS,
We all saw it; that good llous man
beating his wife shalnetullv; II $50, -
\ family counsel was held, ;hc deacon
enloined it on his family not to tell
it; they could hardly believe " hat
they saw. The deacons daughter
told member of the church ; then 1t
spread and lost nothing; ii went 50
far that it was necessary to arruGn
the minister before the Council tor
unbecoming conduct. When present
he asked what charges were against
him they were stated, all right, We
we must send for my wife and let her
speak for herself. Iha, might on en-

and got after it ; it ran up his wife 5

been considered its center. There nearly Loo
Apaches the reservation and their conduct ~ good
Scarcely deprdatloRs committed in the vicinity,

assured him that Camp Grant Ia safer than mas been

bands SAYS they will follow any trail OF robbers that
leads TO their reservation I'LL IL out" aud viii re-
turn property TO the owners ana give Up the robbers
While they might fail sometimes in such effort, Gen.
Howard believes that they sincere IN their purpose
Gen. Howard held council with the Indians, and,
with Lieut. Whitman's aid, labored hard TO induce
them 10 accept Mr. Jacobs their agent but their love
Tor and confidence in Whitman are simply wonderful
They viii doaDything ask except to make this trans

Whitman at the reservation. An examination into Wht
mans conduct OF Indian affairs shows that he was up
right kind, wise, and successful Gen. Howard concludes
follows:
