CHEsTER Pics. This breed of hogs
was formerly held in high repute, for the
genuine article is no doubt one of the
best of the swinish fraternity; but of late
yeals, the demand for them has decrcas-
ed very materially, and Pa. Journal of
tho farm gives as the reason fol the de-
clcnsion that sit results from an almost
indiscriminate shipment of all kinds of
white, pigs in Chester Co. When the
delrtMd was at its highest point, dealers
werescouring tho country, and buying
up any kind ofpigs so they had no black
hair, and shipping them abroad to- tbs
disappointment, ofpurchascrs, and dis

!, favored with fruitful fields, and remuncr-
,ated amply for their laools and patience.
To many the year just closed has been
one, doubtless, oftribulation. Thousands
who believed they we're beyond the reach
of such "a contingency, surrounded by
every mark ofsecurity, found themselves,
by the sudden changes of the times, re-
dueed from the height of prosperity to
!. the depths of poverty. The causes of
these catastrophes are too well known to
need repeating here. The shock was
abrupt, sharp and destructive. Let lis
be thankful that to great extent the
desolation has been stayed, and that
rainbow of,hope now shines over us. May
the leasons taught in the hour of trial not

Amidst even the direst of calamitics
there is always silver lining to the
cloud. No Christening for the present
aeemeth good, but it is apt to bring forth
the permanent fruits of Righteousness,
says an inspired writer, and so we hope it
will be with the recent troubles IN our
land. Atno period of tho year would
the late panic have been less likely to
cause general disruption of the busi-
ness of the country than that at VIII ch it
came. aud then the Farmers, as they
have ever been, were found the hope and
salvation ofall other classes. They were
just gathering in their harvests ofgrain,
and occurring the whitened crops of the
cotton field, Those products which were
eagerly sought with outstreclcd hands
by. the nations of the world, who, failing
in their own harvests, found their depen-
dence upon American farmers, and freely
shipped the gold to our shores for the
generous grain Of which we had sur
plus to spare. American Farmer"

properly care for her, she will eusily net
