Hogs,

We learn Mr. David Little, Of Pre- emp
ton, who is one of the wealthiest farmers
of Mercer county, as well as a han of con-
siderable intelligence, although somewhat
set in his political opinions, 50 much SO
that he takes extra pains not to let any of
his men see a democratic paper, that dur =
my the past year he has lost over two
hundred hogs from something like lung
disease. They commence by coughing, re-
fuse to eat, ard die in day or tWo. Mr..
Little also Informs US that farmers in the
at the present time, but that since June
none of his hogs have been attacked by
this disease which seems to battle all rem
edies. AS the hog crop is very import
ant clement of wealth to this section, Cur
farmers should combine to find out the ex-
act nature of this disease and the most eff
fcaGious remedy. If Mr.. Little was not
so terribly prejudiced against democratic
papers wewould refer him to an advertise
ment in this issue of the ARGUS, which
might have saved his 200 hogs, but it isn't
to be supposed he would look at it even tC
save them. The ARGUS is, however, much
obliged to Mr.. Little for the information
he has given it, and takes this occnslon tt
suggest to those farmers who are losing
their hogs to have aD examination made
with view to preventing further loss.

Kicked

Arthur Ramser young lad about 16
years of age, son of j Ramser the jeweler,
was severely kicked in the face this morn
ing by pony belonging to D. W. Heath.
The boy had taken the pony from Hull &
Wright's stable to ride and when near the
Peoria depot the pony threw him. He held
on to the halter till the pony kicked him
in the face splitting his upper jaw and rem

under the influence Of liquor and in an
ugly mood. Fay took handful of cold
slaugh and threw it in the face OF another,
and then one of the party wiped his face,
and blew his nose on the table cloth. This
was too much for Chapman who ordered
them out. They refused to go, however
and commenced some pretty loud talk SC
he sent his boy for the police. Shortly
Officer BEETLE came and said to the party,
Consider yourselves under arrest" They
didn't take kindly to him, however, and
made break for the door. BEETLE gave
chase, and fred his revolver twice before
he brought one, Fay, to halt. He wa'
