Quick WoRK.-Mr. Tinnin tells us
that while in st. Louis last Fall he visit
ed large packing establishment,
one of the principal owners being rel
ative of Mrs. Tinnin. AT the packing
house referred to, from fifteen hundred to
two thousand hogs were slaughtered a
day with only one set of hands. The
old fashioned way of knocking swine
in the head before sticking them is no
longer followed. A great deal of the work
is done by machinery, the modus operdn-
dt, as near as we can descibe it, being
about like this A sort of handcuff, sus-
pended from beam, passes at regular
intervals over pen where the hogs are
confined. AS they descend they are
seized by men stationed there and, at the
first dash, fastened around the hind leg of
a hog. Up goes the live pork and never
stops until hung up on an iron hook, kill
ed, dressed, gutted and the back bone
taken out. As the suspended animal
swings out of the pen, a man standing
outside catches fore leg with one hand
and with large knife opens the throat
and sewers the heart with one thrust. In
slant death follows, and swinging a few
feet further another employe strikes the
metal clasps with mallet, when they
open and let the carcass fall. Dropping
into vat of hot water, mother appara-
tus throws the lifeless animal upon a ta-
BILE, on each side of which gang of men
stand opposite each other. Each man
has his part Of the hog to clean as it pass
es along. At the end of the table the in
animate mass is again lifted by machn-
cry farther on. Two strokes with a knife
and the entrails are extracted a little fnr-
ther still, and in an almost incredibly short
space of time, the back bone is cut out
and the pork is ready for packing when it
has hung long enough to cool through.
Mr.. Tinnin, to whom we are Indebted
for the facts contained in the above state
ment, says that he made rough calcu-
lation of the time devoted to each hog be-
fore seeing for himself Being hardly
willing to credit the story that hogs could
be killed and dressed at such a rapid rate,
he took particular notice and noted the
time occupied. When he was told how
many hogs were killed in certain num-
Der of hours his calculation on those data
required three hogs to be hitted and
dressed eue'y minute. Standing by and
looking on, watch in hand, Mr.. Tinnin
says that not more than twenty seconds
were occupied upon each hog. That is
just about as much faster than they used
to do such work when we knew some
thing about it as can be imagined. We
are satisfied that tn above is not eXagger-
ated, but whenever they get to slaughter
ing the porcine species in less time per
head, we won't believe it until we see it,
and then perhaps, for want of time, shall
contend that we don't see it. In packing
pork, like other important interests, time
is money; hence, great Improvements as
detailed above.

A GREAT WAY BEHIND.-Red Bluff,
although ranking as lively place tor
several years, is twenty years behind
Weaverville. Twenty years ago next
Fourth of July, in this stirring town we
killed man and his wife and shot man
through the leg. Red Bluff has only just
arrived at that high stage of California
progress. If our neighboring town will
only persevere in an onward and upward
course, it may yet attain the altitude
from which Weaver now looks proudly
down upon it.

THE FRUIT AND THE COLD Wealth
ER.-For the last two weeks the weather
has in the main been quite cold with oc-

the peaches are believed to be severely
damaged. In Weaver Basin the peaches
are generally killed. Mr. Cochell tells us
that he has looked closely and that not
more than ore in hundred of young
peaches has escaped. All other fruits are
so far unhurt and, unless Jack Frost for
bids, will be plenty.

New YORK, Oct. fiat the session of the
Long Island Baptist association yesterday morn
ing, It was expected the question of close or open
Communion would be brought forward, but it
was not the only question bearing upon the
matter, being a question OF discipline regard
ing the Port Jefferson church, which came up
for review, and the principles of the right of a
church TO maintain its own discipline was as
serted and Substantated.
In the afternoon session the question of strict
and open communion was brought up somewhat
covertly, and after a short discussion, in which
the general question was not entered upon, the
following resolution was carried:
Resolved, that while we do not regard the
Long island Baptist association as legislative
or disciplinary body, and while we realize the
full and entire independence of each church of
which 1t is composed, we do neverthess deem it
right and proper at this time to declare our fl rm
and unalterabe adhesion to the distinguishing
doctrines and ordinances of our denomination,
as they are tau ght and eXempli6ed in the New
Testament, aud as they were held by the Bap-
fists Of Long Island at the time Of the organic
alton of this body
The remainder of the proceedings were of a
routine character The conference service closed
by a sermon preached by Mr.. Pentecost in the
evening

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Rio Grande COM

told, and that Mexico is in every instance the
aggressor. A Mexican commission was APP
pointed to make examination also of the alleged

ground that the disorders result from the disor-

American as well as Mexican leaders, and inti-
mates that the American commission was bribed
to make out case against the Mexcans. The

mise on the border difficulty, and empowered to

A picture, which purports to represent the
marriage of Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway,

lam Of Scarborough. In the top corner. on the
left hand, is the following legend:

The marriage Of Anne Hathaway with William
Shakespeare. Is.
Two figures are in the loreground-a man and
a woman, supposed by the owner to be the
father and mother of Anne Hathaway. The
former weighs, in a pair of scales, some gold
and silver lying on table, and the latter
cheeks the process by counting the links OF a
chain. In an inner room, seen through door
way, the marriage ceremony is going on. The
theory put forward is that the picture, if not
painted at the time Of the event, was executed
early in the seventeenth century, when Shake
speare had become famous. The Athen@um
questions whether this idea be tenable. The
two figures in the foreground are probably por-
traits; but it seems doubtful whether the mar
rage group formed a portion of the original
work; and, even il it did, whether the figures
have not been altered. They certainly seem to
have been considerably touched. The work
will, we believe, be submitted to experts for
examination.
