A Hogs Presentiment.

When one OF the many squads of hogs
had been driven up The inclined plane
at Kingan's pork-house to rest q mo-
ment on platform while the killer was
dispatching them one at time, one of
the swine, seeming cognizant of the fate
awaiting him, gave a squeal of terror,
and, nerved by desperate fear, jumped
out of the pen to the floor beneath, o
distance Of thirty feet, alighting appar-
emily unhurt. This was singular. What
follows argues reason almost human.
The hog, still squealing with terror,
then ran along the slippery floor. dis,
lance of seventy-fve feet or more, and
jumped through a window into the
river, making in his second fall de-
scent of forty feet. Again he was APP
parently unhurt, and struck out swim
ming bravely for the other side of the
stream, which he reached nearly ex
hausted. The swine had certainly earned
his liberty, and a number of spectators
who had seen his efforts crowned with
success, were congratulating themselves
that he had saved his bacon, when q
practical employe of the pork-house,
without On atom of poetry or pity in his
composition, appeared with his musket
and turned the animal into picked pork
