The Rev. S. Miller Hsgeman happened
to be lats yesterdaT morning in making
his appearance at Apollo Hall, where his
congregation have stated services, and
the reason therefor he explained private
ly to one or more of his deacons as mar
rated. His lodging place was at tie.
Wall house, which was last week sold
out and cleared of its occupants, EXCEPT
ing the dominic. BY arrangement he.
continued to occupy his room as of old.
it being his intention to stop on with the.
incoming proprietor, Mr.. }. 81. Trenor-
A Waterman was Mr.. Hageman's only
comranion In the house beside New
foundland dog, and, unfortunately for
the dominic, the man left yesterday
without awakening his guest. 1t was
not until the various church bells ground
their call about 10 o'clock that the SEN
ses of the preacher were relieved from
the custody of Morpheus, and he real
lied the necessity for an instant and
hurried toilet At breakneck speed he
descended two steps, and was making
for the front door when nabbed from be-
hind by the mastiff on guard. In at
tempting to leave by side door, the
perplexed dominic had no better success,
as the faithful dog would not permit it,
end viciously showed his fangs in close
proximity to Mr.. Hageman's neither ex-
tremities. Strategy was then resorted
to, and a sort of truce patched up be-
tween the man and canine, with the aid
of handkerchief made into ball.
Tossing the object across the floor the
dog was induced to go after it, and by
that means an opportunity was afforded
the imprisoned clergyman to raise
window-sash, from whence the yard was
easily accessible. At the second toss of
the lmprovised ball Mr.. Hageman vault
ed to the window-sill, and carefully
though quickly lowering the sash, was
rid of his jailer and In fair way TO make
his exit from the premises.
With the best assumption of grace at
his command he scaled the fence, but at
that point another trouble menaced the
anxious pastor. A man of suspicious
turn of mind, who did not know the
reverend gentleman, yet was aware that
the Wall house was vacant, made it his
business to pry into the why and where
fore, and would not be satisfied of Mr..
Hageman's identity though the latter
produced a pocket bible In proof of his
character. That being the case, and to
convince this "doubting Thomas" the
gent was invited by Mr.. Hageman to
accompany him to the place of worship.
/ The result was In every way satisfactory
and an apology rendered the reverend
gentleman for the trouble he had been
put to, was the closing feature of this.

Prevalence of Hog Cholera in Missouri.
| A letter from Sedalia, Mo-, says
Nearly every township in this and ad-
iacent counties has been visited by the
hog cholera. Many farmers have lost
their entire stock Farmers in the
southern portion of Cooper county lost
large per cent. In the northern por-
tions of Saline and Lafayette counties
the disease assumed fatal type, and
but few farmers escaped more or less
loss. Tt was not confined to any par
ticular breed or pedigrees. Fat hogs
died first. The premonitory symptoms
were loss of appetite, general languor,
diarrhoea. There is much difference of
opinion as to whether the disease is
epidemic or contracted, well-posted
stock raisers claiming opposite theories.
Remedies are numerous and diversified,
embracing charcoal, sulphur, soda,
saleratus, salt, etc. No definite APP
Proclamation of the loss in this or ad
iacent counties can be made. 1t is
claimed the disease is more generally
fatal on low lands. A prominent stock
raiser in this county-after an expert
ment-says mule-hoofed hogs altogether
escape this disease. Our breeds of
hogs are Berkshire, Poland-C China,
Chester, and Magies, the former pre-
dominating.
