laws, too. against. any such nelnrious
tTahsactions. Aud, we know, too, that

| While we dre not prepared to qualify

about their disposition after death, that
we are prepared to believe that many
more carca-ses of hogs that die Of dis
ease or from being ,,smotbered are con-
verted into pOrk,Or bacon and lard than
are inIo,lubriUating grease :. At any fate,
we are sure twill be more satisfactory u,
