Never known to fail in single case. This
popular remedy differs from all other Ague
Cures, in being free from oil poisonous eff

can do better than this. Bren-

considerable amount of garbage
is ordinarily thrown into the
street. Upon this a country
hog can subsist-may grow fat
but as he becomes accustom-
ed to city ways, he will find
nicer food on the side walks,
upon which our merchants dali
ly deposit dray loads of pota-
toes, cabbages, oats and bran.
Our hogs. are the city's pets.
They have the free entry of all
the enclosures in town, opening
gate or door at pleasure, and
our people evidently like to have
them about. 1t looks sociable
TO have a yard full of neighbor
hogs! 1t it pleasant at night to
hear their dulcet notes as they
gather in their warm beds under
our houses. We therefore adj
wise our country friends who
have more hogs than corn, to
send them-we mean the hogs
into town, where they will
be educated and we'll cared for.

The SMOKING WELL.-Re-
surgham, the Banners Green
vine correspondent writes that
the strange well, mention of
which was made a day or two
ago, is on Mrs. Seidells farm.
This well emits strong hot
steam accompanied by roar
ing noise, similar to that of a
cataract. We learn from par
ties recently from the neighbor-
hood that the gas or steam from
the well is combustible and
burns with a blue and yellow
blaze. 1t can be extinguished
by putting a wet blanket over
the mouth of the well.

SEVERAL Brenhamites, speak of
gong out to the gas well, in the
Labasia prairie, on next Sun
day, with the view of making a
scientific examination of it. 1t
is believed, however, to'te gas
produced from coal oil, which
is now thought to exista few
feet farther down.
