An Excellen, Cholera Cure.

Rev. A. J. O'Quin informs us
that, while his neighbors lost from
fifty to seventy per cent of their
hogs last winter and spring from
cholera, out of a drove of 48 he
has only had one to die. He gives
us the remedy he used with his
hogs, and says that all who have
tried it pronounce it a sure cure.
Thequantity in the followingrecipe
he says is what he gave his AS
hogs each week, half of it at a
feed, 3 or 4 days apart :
1ico Feeds for az Hogs. Three pecks
of sound cotton seed, half bushel of
corn, 3 ounces of sulphur, one ounce
spirits OF turpentine, halt gallon OF
strong ashes, and a heaping teacupfull
of salt to make it palatable to the
hogs. Boil, and give in two feeds 8 or
four days apart, say twice Il week. 1t
should be kept up as long as there are
any traces of the disease about.

FAR EWElL.

All fair days on this earth must die;
Though bright their farewell hour may be,
Yet darkness comes ere its goodbye
Has CLEANED it's last on shore and sea.
So every parting has its pain
Which future years cannot efface,
And bygone days ne'er come again
With just the same sweet, tender grace.
And newer faces cannot come
Into the old and treasured place.
And even when their hives are done,
Their memory leaves sacred trace.
Old voices sound as sweetly true,
Though time has changed each well known face
And hearts ember-there are few
Whose love even Time can e'er erase.
What partings are not sad to those
Whose lives have blent in happy hours,
Their sweetness lasts, as when the rose
Its perfume leaves in withered flowers.

TwO.POOr Little Orphans.

An enjoyable practical joke was
played on number of Colfax
citizens one day last week by Mr..
w. III. Readman and some other
young men of the town. They got
up a subscription purporting to be
in behalf of two little orphan boys
greatly in need of aid. After
securing 50 rs from various VIC
TINS they added a few dollars to
it, and bought dozen chickens,
pickles, ETC., and turned them over
to an old colored woman to fry,
stew and bake for supper. In the
afternoon this writer and other
contributors received a polite invi-
tation to come around and sup with
the 1.-TWO Orphans" Eighteen per-
sons were assembled in answer to
the invitation, and jollier crowd
never dived into a pile of hot
BISCUIT and tender chicken than
this same lot, all having first
whetted their appetites with the
contents of tin coffee pot. After
supper a box of cigars was opened,
and amid a cloud of smoke the
play of the Two Orphans" was
voted grand success.
