"Hogs ! Hogs! Hogs +"

The hog law went into force on
the 10th inst, and from that time
will be rigidly enforced [C-P.
Is that so? We have read
some ''posters' '--wR1TTEN posters
There was no chance to have them
printed, Of course) that stare one
in the face like 'show bilp' stat
ing that Mr.. Hog had the nntram-
meled and undisputed right to
promenade and perambulate these
streets until to-day. That is, we
made the figures on said ''posters''
| read 18th inst. But, of course,
| we may have been mistaken. We
are not much Of hand to read
writing--a fact that forces us to
favor the use of printed ''posters.
But that's neither here nor there.
The .s'hog law went into force on
the 10th inst" And, come to
think about it, we DO remember
that a certain old female hog has
been rather shy since last Monday.
She doubtless read the above men
toned "posters'' more accurately
and correctly than we read them.
She is very wise-looking hog, and
she has ears sufficiently large and
long to catch the sound Of any idle
rumor that might float around the
} streets. But the aforesaid old fe.
male hog is still at large, notwith-
standing the stern edict of the ''hoe
law and the rigid enforcement
thereof. Her depredations are sly
but very effective. She has edu'
Gated herself to watch the officers
> Of the law as well as any stray
brick-bat that might be making its
way toward her pilfering snout
D More than that. She has beer

Il There may have been a ''b,ll c

: however, relieving this old femal

of that law. If so, the big-heade

A series of short crops and

the crop was very short ; in 1878
there was a complete failure OF
crops, and, in 1879, the farmers
failed to make half crops. The
