Some time since, Mr.. Aston, of
Cheshire, Enb land, made experiments
with cheese to test its value as a pig
feed, and he gives the following detailed
account OF his experience in the Chester
(Eng) Chronicle:
" l may just say, for the information
OF my friends and your numerous read
ers, who appear to take an interest in
my experience (though not always suc-
cessful), that American cheese, bouqL t
at ten shillings per cwt., answered ad-
mirably for fattening pigs. Some that
were bought about the fourth week in
October last TOR ten shilliDgs each, are
now estimated by competent men to be

fed cheese exclusively, but mixed it
with Indian meal, wheat scuftings and
bran, together with what the dairy supS
piled in whey and buttermilk, and never
had pigs iatten better, If as we'll. We
commenced to give them little on the
Slst of January last, which appeared to
be very satisfying, and q marked differ
ence was soon manifested in their
growth and have now come to the
conclusion that, il it could be purchased
for nine shillings per cwt., long weight,
it would pay quite as well as Indian
meal at an average price 1t WAS on the
strength OF the opinion entertained by
scientific gentlemen in this country, and

straw stack and spread all around the

A San Diego Heroine.

San Diego possesses a genuine heroine
in young lady names Miss Mary Law
renee. Last Tuesday a band of wild cat
tie were being driven through the streets,
when one of them singled out child at
play and started for it. The vaduero,
who was drunk, tumbled from his horse
as ne attempted to turn the furious
animal. At this moment Miss Lawrence
came along, and, taking in the situation
at glance, sprang into the vacant sad
die, ran down the wild steer, threw her
shawl over its head just as it was about
to gore the child, and, taking advantage
of the confusion of the beast, rode up to
the child, and, without leaving her sad
die, reached to it and lifted it into her
lap, and then carried it off in safety.
This was not only an act of heroism, but
an exhibition of horsemanship such as
few, if any, in this section could equal.
That young lady deserves a medal, both
as an expert equestrienne in these parts
and as a lady whose courage and presence
of mind are only equaled by her skill as q

This morning q couple of miners were

One of Camp-MeetIng JOhn's Stories.

Augusta. Me-, Journal.
CampNmeeting John Allen tells story
about 8 man Who came forward for
prayer in the early days of his ministry,
with red face and rum breath, not sober
enough to understand the gravity of the
occasion, but still seriously in earnest
about his salvation. his man kept q
little shop, and among other things sold
little new rum, but was his own best
customer. Mr.. Allen went to his shop
one day and expostulated with him
shout the matter, but he said he could
not afford to lose what rum he had on
hand. Finally, Allen agreed to buy it if
he would seek the Lord then and there
and kneel down and pray for himself.
As they knelt down the minister turned
the faucet and set the rum to running.
This was too much for the penitent, and
he cried out on his knees, =" it's wasting,
I it's wasting Let it waste" said the
old saint, as he kicked it out doors, and
took hatchet and burst in the end of
the cssk. '' It amt measured" said the
man. "Guess at it, and be sure to
guess enough" said Allen. Thus the
battle was won, and the man became
/ temperate and religious. Next day
some of the church members said they
| thought brother Allen came to preach
! the gospel, not to spend his time kicking
/ out rum barrels" You can't get the
gospel in till you kick the rum out, -
said the preacher.
