DISEASE.
Many farmers in Elk Neck have met
with severe loss from the hog cholera, this
fatal disease having made its appearance
among their swine. We are of the opin
ion that, if hogs were given plenty of water
and swlil during the severe cold weather,
when the Slop barrel is frozen up, also a
good warm bed to back up all, they would
he less liable to the disease.

THE GAINES CASE.

Mrs. Gaines we presume, has had entered up
. great many judgments pro coWesso against the
occupants of properties to which she has been
adjudcated to have title. Meantime the lady has
been kept busily employed before the Masters in
Cbancery in pressing up her claim to back inter-
est, rents and profits, while the defendants have
been equally busy and active In producing evil
dences of the value Of their improvements. The
Masters do not appear to have mastered the BUSH
ness committed to them, and their reports will
not be handed in before the next term Of court.
In the meantime the indefatgable plaintiff re-
lieves and diverts the tedium and duness OF
this vexatious and wesrying work by the perusal
OF the innumerable letters sent her from the
North soliciting subscriptions TO various
churches, charitable institutions, impoverished,
but always sympathizing and admiring friends;
reverend widowers. poor but deserving artists
soliciting the privilege of painting her portrait;
literary bummers who ara ambitious of

ship Teutonia in the jetties had caused feeling
OF avoidance among sea captains. The Teuto-

bow in the lefty channel and the force of the our

good working bottom. ALI the sailing ships 20

After an introduction TO number OF ship cap

response that their preference was for Southwest
Pass now. "Since the accident to the Teutonia,
nobody feels like being the first to try them

"There 10 SO much talk about deep water in the
