Four Hoes TO THE Cord. Come
up and see some hogs said Mr.. Charles
Robe to a friend yesterday. The hogs
we're piled along over 100 feet distance.
ITO fully comprehend the size of these
hogs said Mr.. Robe, "a little com
parison is necessary. Thus "a neat little
phaeton mare weighs anywhere from 500
to 900 pounds. An ordinary roadster
weighs somewhere near 1000. A good
farm horse will 20 from 1900 to 1900
pounds. OF the twenty hogs piled along
Thirty third stl eet, the runt weighs 500
The weights of the others were painted
on their rounded Jaws, and ran from o73
to lO9s pounds. Twenty of them weighed
10, 64S pounds. -Four of them measure a
cord. The breeds are known as red and
white Jerseys.
Where did they all come FROM
burlington, n. Y" said Mr. Robe.
They were raised by Mr. John Carter.
He's got some more like them only one
is larger. They dress down about l5 per
cent. Those hogs had a better house to
live in than a third of the people of this
city have. Each hog had a separate stall
that was kept clean and sweet by constant
attention and unlimited fresh bedding
They were cared for just as fast horses
are. They were fed on meal and milk.
As a lot thev are tie heaviest ever brought
to New York, or ever raised, for that
matter. The largest one Of the lot is
the largest hog on record except one not
slaughtered yet"
Did it pay?'
Yes aud no. The qualification of
beating the record is always worth the
expense; but lighter hogs yield more
money on the investment. New York

thatI never failed in plants but once IN

The weather being peculiarly bright and
pleasant, there was a large outpouring OF
churcb-people yesterday. DR.. Harmon Is
attracting large audiences ut the new Me-
moral church. Last night seats had to be
provided In the aisles in order TO accom-
modate some OF the congregation. Nine
new members were received Into the church
yesterday.

congregation, 1T the corner OF Court aud

than any other church In Lynchbnrg.
Several days ago, In the Corporation
Court, young white man named Booz
was tried for an assault on one-Iegged
man named Samuel Mccormack. After a
considerable absence the Jury returned
and the judge asked 10 they had
agreed on verdict. The foreman
advanced to the front and replied.
"Yes, your Honor, but with the distinct
understanding that the prisoner be serious
ly admonished." The Judge somewhat i'm
patiently directed the clerk to read the ver-
dict, and 1t was seen that the prisoner had
been acquitted. Judge Latham was indig-
nant, and told the foreman that instead OF
admonisbing the prisoner he thought the
jury merited a severe reprimand for find
ing such verdict, and, as n mark OF the
Couips disapproval, the jury was dis
charged for the term.
There Is not 80 much talk now concern
