pounds, and was observed during tie

wheeling"
Messrs. +. A. Britt, Peter Welty and
n. Norton were chosen judges, but for
some cause, change was afterwards
made, and Messrs. }. McClaye, Rudolph
Schorrenberg and Henry Schster were
substituted. The hog was won by Louis
Siedler, who wheeled" for Mr.. Norton,
he striking the stake in the centre. The
next best man on the list
was William Ripley, who came
within two feet two inches of
the stake. The wheeling" COM
menced at o'clock aud was not COM
pleted until near dark. During the time
the parties were contesting for the prize,
great merriment prevailed among the
parties present at the seemingly awk-
wark blunders of the participants, and
all pronounce themselves salts
