Or late years people began 10 hunt

ness. Parties Of two or three go
duwu there with their wagons, Oh
which are covered pens, aud stay two
or three days. They carry their
guas and six shooters, aud some use

dogs Having struck q trail they

being flushed, generally 5 their re-
voIvers 20 bringi it down. Some they
capture with dogs and bring away
alive, and sometimes they are lass0-
ed aud thus secured. With the large
hogs which the dogs cannot manage,
harsher means are used, aud they
are shot down with six shooters
Some parties have, in this way,
sometimes secured az high as twenty
Eve hogs in one day, aud a dozen is
not an unusual catch. The business
is found to be quite profitable. The
hogs are usually found in z good con-
dition, and the flesh is generally good,

what one Farmer has Done.

\ correspondent of the Mirror and
Farmer writes Of Hon. Warren
Brown, Of Hampton Falls, y. II: 4
few years since the high portion of
his farm en-. about half a ton Of hav
per acre, aud the lower ground was
covered with marsh hay which they
frequently carried or on bay poles =
Now, on his sixty acres of moving
land, be will eat, | judge, over one
hundred tons Of the best English hay.
Tiles, manure, muscles and brains
have wrought the change. His
grass is worth over S25 per acre as
il stands. He sells much bay. and
y ct makes so much manure thai be
hardly knows what to do with it. A
new barn has a ventilated cellar and
a smooth, four inches, concrete floor.
What a shame aud untold loss to the
State for our farming population to
diminish yearly and the y0nng men
TO leave the farms. Pat a good pa
per 10 every farmers family; let farm
ing be studied the same as any other
pursuit. Let the farmer have DO un-
just burdens; let them be honored
and respected; let there be & rivalry
farming for the sake, not only Of.
agrienliurist's interest, but for
the good Of all other useful indus
tries; and last, but not least, as the
birth place of those men and women
who are alone reared upon farms.

DipsEeri3

From al parts Of the country we
hear Of the ravages Of ~dip,beria. In
Sorae cases whole families have fal.
en- victims to this dread disease. Il
is important that all persons, espe-
cially parents, should understand
what are the first symptoms, and
take prompt and efficient measures
Of relief. An attack of diphtberia
usually commences with high fever
and headache, aud in children with
nausea and vomiting. THERE'S great
prosiraiion. Upon the tonsiis and
surrounding parts are seen white,
snow laky patches. In malignant
cases the patches are often yellow or
brownish, and a fetid oder is perceiy-
ed. A good physician should be i'm
mediately summoned when these
symptoms ere noticed Chlorate Of
potash gargles and pounded ice are
useful until he arrives. Many ply.
sicians have found a successful
in the use Of peFmgngauate
Of potash in correction with the
