AT Altayille, Sicily, hogs have the free
entry of the house, and move about on
very familiar terms with families. Not
long ago rich proprietor came home
from hunting, and set up his gun against
the wall of his room, when one of the
inmates, a hog, knocked it down by ac-
cident, and wholly unintentionally, and
sent a ball whizzing into the wealthy
farmers leg, which had to be amputated.

Mr. EDIroR:-I would like through your col
umns to correct statement which appeared in
the PRESS yesterday morning. The item states
that the Superintendent of Evergreen Gene
terry refused to inter body because it was
brought there in "dump cart" The facts in
the case are as follows: A gentleman of this
city had the misfortune during the past winter
to lose his child, and had to deposit the body in
the receiving tomb. A few days ago he went
out to bury it, and the Superintendent of Ev-
ergreen Cemetery" furnished the gentleman
with a common dump cart as the only means
at his disposal to convey the body from the
tomb to the grave.
The gentleman refused to have the body put
into such a vehicle, and came to the city and
engaged an undertaken to 60 out and bury the
child decently. Truth.

BARNUMs GREAT SHow.-Just now Boston
is going wild over Barnum's Roman Hippo
drome. Next Monday the monster exhibition
will visit this city. The success achieved here
by the great Hippodrome last summer is still
fresh in the minds of the people, and that the
present visit will prove equally satisfactory to
the great manager and its visitors, we donbt
not. Since last year novel attractions have
been added, including the March of the Anna
IONS, Holiday of the Celestals, and other richly
costumed and imposing spectacles. The Con-
g,ess of Nations will be reproduced, with
approximations, new chariCts and wardrobe, to
be followed by the splendid Roman races aid
the Grecian games of olden times.
The Boston Post writes thus of the Hippo
drome:
"The grand flourish of trumpets that PIE.
coded the appearance of the Great Roman
Hippodrome and its myriad of attractions has
at last been followed by the opening OF the
mammoth pavilion, beneath which is presented
by far the most complete and magnificent pro-
grampe of entertainment that has ever been
introduced in New England. Mr.. Btrnum,
with his characteristic energy has left no
means unemployed for making known his
presence here, and for setting before the puDllc
a full list of the marvellous attractions he has
had in store for him, but with all his vast re-
sources for addressing himself to the public,
he has vet fallen far short of what his NAM
moth Hippodrome merits, and the only way
left for the curious to obtain an idea of what
the great Snowman has brought with him for
exhibition is for them to witness the grand
spectacle in all its unsurpassed splendor ana
variety of detail. That such q complete pro-
gramme, including splendid pageants, exciting
races, and countless other dazzling features,
should be undertaken by one hand, and all
brought into one entertainment, seems little
short of mir tculou5. Yet Mr.. Barnum has
undertaken it and has clearly shown himself
master of the situation. The entertainment
he now offers the public is altogether as com
pIete and magnificent as anything could pos.
sibly be, and the enthusiastic welcome extended
by the spectators last evening shows how
thoroughly they appreciate the brilliant spec
tacle that was set before them"

charges against Officer Place, one of which was

all other charges against him by unanimous
vote. There has been a persistent effort to
drive the man from the force because, in the
discharge of his duty, he sees no difference

HOME INDUsTRIEs.-There is usually great
deal of fine talk about the duty of patronizng
home industry and home enterprise, but it is
too often followed by the deplorably bad prac-
tice of going away from home to purchase.
Sometimes this may be necessary, but usually
goods of as good quality can be purchased at
home at lower price than abroad. 1t will be
our purpose, from time to time, to call atten-
ton to special branches of industry and enter
prise, so that none need 60 abroad through
ignorance. For instance, we are told that
scores of Portland gentlemen purchase their
shirts in Boston and New York. in utter
ignorance of the fact that Messrs. Charles
Custis & Co., 493 Congress street, manufacture
as fine an article as can he obtained in the
United States at lower price than the same
can be purchased in Boston and New York. A
gentleman recently purchased ia dozen of the
'best' in New York, and was greatly surprised
to find that the same quality made by GUSTS
& Co. would not have cost him two-thrds as
much. The firm employ constantly large
number of skillful employees, and do all OF
their own measuring and fitting.
Messrs. Morrison & Written, $50 Fore
| street, have mills adapted to the grinding of
coffees, spices, and everything in that line.
When this work can be done at home, the
