A Western man suggests the use Of sods, and
writes: "In England and Ireland they have

occasionally, but I think if our farmers knew
its practical merits, we should see it oftener.

feet wide, and two feet deep; throw the dirt
from the bitches on the space between, beat
it down till it has some hardness, and giving

SALT FOR HoGs.-I have seen salt fed to
hogs for fifty years, and in the last twenty
years have fed many heavy hogs, ranging
from 300 to 600 pounds net. fed them all
literally with salt; have never lost one, nor
has one been sick an hour. These hogs have
been fattened in a close pen, and their prin.
cipal food was corn meal, made into dough.
This dough have salted at least once a day.
Sometimes my hogs would fail to clean out
their trough in that case I would put hand.
full of salt into my bucket, with some water,
pour it into their trough, and they would lick
it up with much relish. In addition to salt, l
feed Goals from the stove. I make it regu-
lar custom to feed Goals, and it is astonishing
what quantity hog will eat, and how
healthy and robust it will make him. Let
the hogs have plenty of salt and charcoal,
and we shall hear less of the cholera.-Far-
mers' Nndicator.

SADDEsT.


SADDEST.
There are, in this world, a vast multitude
of things which touch the heart and cause
tears to gush from the eyes. 1t is sad to see
a young man, the son of honorable and hon.
ored parents, bring disgrace upon long line
of noble ancestors. 1t is sad to see young
girl of "sweet SIXTEEN" afiancing herselft to q
vapid coxcomb, whose sleek head indicates his
empty skull, and whose snickering and sneer.
ing at sacred things, declare that his heart is
as hard as his head is soft. It is sad to see a
young man who has received, from his pa
rents, splendid fortune wasting it in every
way that sloth and morbid appetites may sug.
gest. 1t is sad to see human being die.
Oh how sad it makes the heart feel to hear
mother weep over her sweet babe! Warm
tears run down our cheeks, when we see pa.
rents take the body of their noble son and lay
it away in the grave, there to rot and become
the food of worms. A load of grief sinks
down on our breasts when we see parents take
their lost child to the grave, and bury it in
the silent tomb.
All these are sad sights, but the saddest
sight ever viewed by any created eye, is q
human being, born in a Christian land and
surrounded by all the ordinary means Of
grace, deliberately rejecting Jesus Christ and
rushing down to the pit of endless woe as fast
as time will carry him. Jesus wept over Je
rusalem, because whenhe would have covered
it's inhabitants, the Jews, with the robes of hiE
Righteousness as a hen covers her chickens
with her wings, they would not let him. They
rejected the Lord of glory. Just 60 it is yet
Multitudes reject the Saviour and 60 down tt
endless woe.

He Was DELAYED.-A Detroit lady pur-
chased jacket at Woodward Avenue store,
the other day, and the clerk said he would
send it right home inside Of half an hour.
In about four hours package boy appeared
with the garment, and the impatient lady ex-
claimed:
"You boys are the greatest nuisance in
town. suppose you stopped to play marbles
or to hunt up lost dog"
"Indeed I didn't" he replied. 81 went up
home to change hats, and ma she had to try
on the jacket and parade before the glass.
Then Katy she put it on to make a call, and
when she got back, ma was determined to
walk over to Woodward Avenue to show it
of, and got here as quick as ever could"
WHAT He WANTED.-After witnessing,
the other night, in New York, play divided
in five acts, the intermissions between which
he had evidently improved, a gentleman ri
ding in one of the street cars got to his feet,
Strengthened his legs as well as he could, ad-
justed his hat, looked up and measured for
an instant the distance to the bell strap, made
a dive for it, caught it at the third attempt,
put his entire weight upon it, and of course
rang both bells violently. "Here, here;
what's the matter with your" yelled the con.
ductor. "What are you ringing the bell at
both ends for?" Because" replied the pas:
senger with great contempt, "because (hic) l
want both ends of the (hic) car to STOP"

CHESTER CORRESPONDENCE.

To meet the demands Of our increasing circula-

vices of BRA1NERD MoLURE, Esq, who will con-
tribute letter of correspondence from Chester
regularly each week. These letters are devoted
entirely to Chester afairs-to the interests of the
town and county y-and written in the racy and
graphic style peculiar to Mr.. McLuRE, they can
not fail to be of interest to our readers in Chester

MEASURING BULK CoRN.-The rules for
measuring corn, as given by your correspon-
dents, produce different results, and conse-
quently are erroneous. The dimensions of a
bushel are 1S4 inches in diameter and inch
es in depth, therefore there are 2,15O.4 cubic
inches in bushel.
To find the number of cubic inches of corn
in bulk, multiply the length, breadth and
depth, which product will be in cubic inches.
Divide by the number of cubic inches in a
bushel, 2,150.4, and the quotient will be in
bushels of shelled corn. Then you must de-
eide what proportion of corn and cobs there
are in bushel; say they are equal in bulk,
then divide by 2 and the quotisnt will be the
correct amount in the ear.-G. g. ", IN the

written expressly for its columns.
As non-partisan, Independent family newspa-
per, the future editorial conduct of the ENQUIRER
can be as well judged by the past as by any prom
ise which we might now feel disposed to make.
An experience of thirty-five years in the newspa-
per business-of which time at least one-half has
been unremittingly devoted to the management
of the ENoU1RER-fully convinces the proprietor
that the plan he adopted on assuming control of
the paper is the correct mode of journalism in the
present day. The true mission of the newspaper
is to place before the public facts they may exist
unbiased by partisan feelings or sinister motives
and the propriety of this course ia fully attested,
not only by the success Of the ENQUIRER, which
can truthfully claim the largest circulation of any
country newspaperin the South, but also by many
other of the most popular and widely circulated
papers of the day. The course thus indicated we
shall continue to pursue, aiming to publish a
LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER,
which shall be welcome visitor to the Home Cir
Gle, and acceptable alike to all classes of readers.
Hence, the news department of the ENQUIRER,
whether of matters at home or abroad political or
otherwise-will be conducted with the utmost care,
and only facts as they seem to exist, will be pre-
sented, free from sectional or party bias.

TRJJTH STRANGER THAN FICTION.

The Asheville IN. CO. Pioneer says: A
number of men met at a house on North Tow
river, Mitchell county, for the purpose of a
general spree. As usual in such cases, a
quarrel ensued, and in fight between a
young man named Davis and drunken
companion named Tooley, the former was
stabbed in the abdomen, and portions of his
entrails protruded from the wound. In this
condition he was placed i'm blanket, pole
run through loop in the same, and the ends
shouldered by two men, who attempted to
carry him where he could get surgical aid.
The path led along the side of a rugged noun
tain, and they had borne him some distance
when the knot through which the pole ran
loosened, and the wounded man was thrown
down the mountain, his intestines catching
on bushes and winding around him as he
rolled down its precipitous side. He was
alive when picked up, and his friends carried
him to house in the neighborhood. We are
informed that an old midwife was called in
to attend him. She pushed back the entrails
and sewed up the ori6ce with packthread.
Later in the day DR.. Dugger arrived, who
gave it as his opinion that the operation
had not been properly done-that Davis,
"paunch" was not in the proper position, and
that some of the minor entrails were missing.
This he ascertained by giving the patient
several hearty shakes; he said "the sound
was too hollow" At this order the man was
again ripped open, while parties were sent in
search of the missing entrails. They found
several of these indispensables to the progress
of digestion, and hurrying back to the house,
handed them to the NJ. D. As they were
very dirty, he rinsed them in cold water,
sprinkled little salt over them as preser.
vative, and then put them in the patient. The
wound was reserved, and when our informant
left it was thought Davis would recover. If
he does, q life insurance policy would be the
greatest extravaganza he could indulge in.
