| An old and experienced farmer says he

has hogs one year old that are not as
good as some of his neighbors' thorough

1850 head for the year, for. which he
received in all the sum Of $4,000. This

and transacts all his business in his
buggy.

gagement is not yet publicly announced

on the death of her father and mother,
for she is an only child. Although SO
desirable match, she is so independent
that no young man in Chicago has yet
had the courage ''to face the music"
She lives with her parents on Dear

household expenses and keeps her own
carriages and horses. She is occasional
ly seen driving tandem on the avenue in
her dog-cart, with good diminutive
'tiger" behind. She is also good
horseback rider and a great pedestrian.
In her walks she is usually accompanied
by large and handsome Gordon setter.
She &c faithful attendant at st. James
church, where her father is vestryman(
In the Sunday school she has class
large boys, in whom she takes gretk
interest. Once year she gives them q
dinner, and when any one Of them gets
old enough to start in business she
makes it point to secure place for
him.

Before swearing the members began in th
English house of commons, Peele, speaker
| said he had received aletter from Sir Michat
Hicks Beach, chancellor of the excheQuer, re
garding Bradlaugh. The letter said that the
writer thought Bradlaugh should not be al
lowed to take the oath without the house be-
ing afforded chance of expressing an opin-
ion on the subject. Peele said he was un-
able to recognize anything done by previous
parliaments in the case of Bradlaugh, and
was powerless to prevent him from taking
the oath. He could take the oath and take
the risk of the law, if any was involved.
Bradlaugh took the oath.

crowd congregated in the vicinity of the par
lament house long before the beginning of

Guy Fawkes plot was discovered. The Rt.
Hon. Arthur Wellesley was reelected speak
er of the house of commons without oppo-
sition.

Walter Latimer, owner of the Fish
creek herd of Short-horns of Garnett,
Anderson county, has just returned from
Kentucky, where he bought the red year
ling Sharon Duke of Booth, I'd 6445O,

He was got by I'd Duke of Kent 51119,
(the bull that sold at the Hamilton sale
for $500 to Palmer & Bowman, of Vir-
ginia J, and out of the Rose of Sharon
COW Sharon Rose of Bath by the 14th

Kansas City Lire Stock Indicator:
There has been great deal of idiotic
nonsense uttered in the last five years by
those interested in their sale at fancy
prices, about Red hogs being cholera
proof, but no one sane breeder or farmer
in thousand of ordinary intelligence
believes anything Of the sort. The same
foolish claims have at some time or other
been made for each of the different
breeds. Red hogs are subject to the
same diseases and the same mishaps that
others are-no less, and probably no
more.
