The ST. Louis Democrat thinks
competitive examinations, as o basis
OF selecting cadets to the military ,fid
naval academies OF the country, are a
failure and a farce. The most meri-
torlous young men, and the best quail
lied in gifts ofnature and capabilities
OF useful knowledge, are set aside in
favor Of a few young memorizers aud
precocious dabblers into class-hoobs.
Competitive examinations cannot be
thorough, and even when v so
thorough aud exhaustive, must ne
e~essarily fail to bring out the undevel-
oped, untaught capabilities Of the
young mind.

lost one Of his fat pigs, some few days
ago during theextrerne. cold weather, he
let them out Of their pen SO that they

Tuesday morning last Mr.. Robinson pre-
pared for killing his pigs but found one
was missing, though he had seen it the
day previous, diligent search has been
made. bat neither hair or hide of the pig
has since been seen. It cannot have gone
far ON account of the deep snow
The pig is about months old, white, and
has a piece bitten out Of one Of its ears.
