Prot. Hosford, who has been export
'.enting in the Boston hog yards, re-
orts that. he has succeeded in prepar.
g > liquid which, when sprinkled to
le amount Of about pint to each an
NAL upon the hogs and their surround
ings, will entirely remove the peculiar
odor so as to make it unappreciable.
This is also to be applied to the floors
and sides of the cars in which the ami
mails are transported. When once with
in the pens, and a supply of charcoal
spread upon the floor, the emanations
aro almost completely overcome. 1t is
now proposed to thatch with straw the
board walls of the space where the
hogs are last handled before dropping
into the tscalding tank. This will re-
duce the noise to minimum, and rem
der it almost inaudible beyond the walls
of the enclosure. Prof. Hosfordth thinks
that the problem of the possibility Of
an extensive inofensive slaughter-house
for swine is satisfactorily solved.

left. Thinning of the punches then be-
comes one of the most beneficial prac-
tees in vine-culture. As genersirule
it is safe to cut of one-third OF all the
branches formed. In regard to- the
shoots themselves it is o good rule to
leave no more grow than we want to re-
main; but superauous ones should be
taken out before they have made much
growth. It is q great shock to the
plant to have them pulled out after they
have made q considerable length Of
wood and much foliage. Again, some
shoots will grow much more vigorously
than others, and tho object of good cuf-
tivation is to have them all of auniform
thickness and strength from the base of
. vine to its very top. This is regulated
by pinching back. Those which show
disposition to be stronger than others
are mpped off after they have extended
some distance. How" far they should
go before their points are taken ont de-
ponds on the strength. If very much
stronger than the others, they may per-
haps be taken out altogether before
they have grown much. If only of
moderate strength, say shorten after
they have advanced two or three feet,
and so on according to vigor.

regularly resofted to ;,but, while It frequently '
failed to effect a cure, it invariably deranged
the stomach, producing nausea, vertigo and
fugitive pains in the head to such an extent
that months elapsed ere the system recovered
from its effects. These objectious to it, use
were SO marked, that the introduction Of
Mishler's Herb Bitters was hailed rs 4 triumph
in medicine. Infinitely more certain in its
beneficial effects than quinine, it possessed
none Of the dsmerits Of that drug. Instead of
nanseating, it tones and invigorates the
stomach, and while speedily Iexpelling the
noxious hulnors, increases the appetite and
facilitates digestion thus rendering the sys.

COLONEL GEORGE NOBLE.

We had the pleasure of meeting, on
yesterday, Colonel George Noble, gen.
eral superintendent of the Texas and
Pacific railway, and of discussing with
him the arrangements for the propos-
ed editorial excursion to Lookout noun
tain. The same liberality that has al
ways marked the course of the Texas
and Pacific railway is again illustrated
in the cheerfulness with which Colonel
Noble goes to work to preparetO trans
port the editors of the state over his
road. He very kindly offered to take
the eXcursionists by the regular train
that leaves Dallas in the afternoon at 6
o'clock, or, if it were preferred, to send
them by a special train to leave here
on the morning of the 18th. 1t was
decided that it would be better to leave
here on the regular train.
Colonel Noble also telegraphed to
Mr.. McKissick, superintendent of the
Cairo and Fulton railroad, to secure
transportation for the party from Tex
arkana to Little Rock. He assured us
that there was no doubt of the desired
arrangement being made. Transpor-
tation wei all the other roads between
this point and Chattanooga had al
ready been secured.
The kindness and courtesy of Colo
mel Noble will be remembered and APP
preciated by the gentlemen of the con-
ventiOn.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The Hampstead Messenger, of the
18th ultimo, says that Governor Coke
spent several hours in that city the
week previous, en- route to Waco, and
that he discussed, in conversation, the
IFopriety of a constitutional eonven-
ton. The Messenger sums up his pO-
sition as follows:
Time i. has Modified the discordant
elements, and peace and harmony low
prevail throughout the state. Stand
ing as she does, the most independent
state in the union, The steady progress
of Pexas demands additional safe
guards at the hands Of representatives
in convention assembled for that par
pose Therefore be deems it advisable
to call n convention at the earliest
time after the meeting Of the next
general assembly.

INDIANS IN DENTON.

The Houston Telegraph of Monday
has the following dispatch from Aus
tin:
Adjutant General Steele has just re-
ceived II letter from Hon. q. b. Pick
EFT, of Decatur, Wise county, impart-
ing the startling intelligence that a
party of thirty-iive savages had swept
down into Denton county, returning
through Wise county, carrying oil
three hundred head of horses, aud kill
ing and scalping the wife and two
daughters of a Mr.. HUFF. This &C.
Cured during the nights of the twenty
fourth and fifth of August. Mr.. HUFF
is missing, aud IL is supposed that he
also has been murdered. Scouts who
went out on the trail of the indians re-
captured the greater part of the stock,
but saw none of the savages.
The letter reports great excitement
among the settlers, and that many
were leaving for a more safe retreat.
Major Jones left this morning to re-
Join his command.
