How to Drive a Pig.

A pig is not always an easy beast to drive; but writer in Farm. Field and Stockman tells how to do 1t, thus: "Make loop in one end of rope; use not less than half-inch one. as small er one is liable to cut and chafe the animal. Make the loop just large enough to fit the neck fairly loose, pass the rope back of the fore-legs and take half hitch, and the contrary hog will go SO kindly that he will give the lie to the old saying. ''as contrary as hog, |" and instead of pulling the hind leg off the animal and cording the limb to a point of downright cruelty, all will go along smoothly and with dignity"

The House Burned This Time.

Last week we reported the burning of Francis s. Thompson's barn at North Colebrook. and the attempt to burn his house. Early last Thursday morning the cowardly scoundrels succeeded in their purpose. the house being totally destroyed by fire soon after midnight A charcoal burner on a job near by dis covered the flames at about l2.30 a m, and his six fellow workmen and Rev MT Remington and s J. Wolcott has tened to the place, but it was too late.
 There was an insurance of S34O0 on the house and barns-1200 on the barns and S2200 on the house, which had II rooms and was brand new. Mir Thomp- son and family were still absent at the time of the fire. The loss on the barns above insurance is said to be 5000 and that on the house $500 This is the third time MT Thompson has been burn. ed out.
 It is to be hoped that wise measures will be adopted to detect the perpetrs- tors, and carried out with persistency and energy.

Burned zulus Dreaded the Ice.

"The natives of tropical countries are seldom so much astonished as they are when first introduced to snow and ice, " said E. A. Forester of Chicago. "While the Worlds fair was in prog ress saw a joke played upon two mem bers of Zulu band which was greatly enjoyed and appreciated by all present except the Zulus themselves The man. ager Of their tribe, whom knew inti- mately, knowing that none of the Zu- Jus had ever seen any ice, thought it would be great fun to see how they would act when brought in contact with 1t He accordingly told two of them that he wished them to go down town with him. He informed me what he was going to do and invited me to ac- company him, which did. We stopped at the office of one of the large brewer ies, a>d after explaining our errand were readily granted permission to go through the icehouse-
 "On arriving at the door of the ioe- house we all entered, the Zulus, who were barefooted, following close behind All along the walls inside great cakes of ice were piled. My friend, the man. ager, climbed up on top of the cakes and told the Zulus to follow him. They obeyed When the cold chill of the ice struck their bare feet, they didn't know what to make of 1t. They looksd at one another for a minute and jabbered some thing in their outlandish tongue They stood it for about a minute, then, giving vent to yell, they sprang to the ground. and rushing to the door threw them selves on the ground outside, where they lay writhing about, nursing their feet and insisting that they had been se- verely burned "-St Louis Globe-Dem- ocrat

The New Tariff and WooIeu Good S.

The New Tariff and wooIen Goods.
 The Springfield (Mass Union of the 27th inst. publishes the opinions of members of nine representative woolen manufacturing concerns in regard to the prospects for their industry under the new tariff. which places wool on the free list and imposes 40 and 50 per cent ad valorem duties on manufactured wool en goods. The result of an examination of these opinions is that it IS difficult to say what the future has in store for woolen manufactures. The great cause of uncertainty is due to the fact that the duties are sd valorem instead of specific, and it is uncertain how far the payment of duties will be evaded by undervaluations. On the whole the manufacturers think they will be able to hold their own. Some are not sure that wages will have to be reduced and some say that reduction will be neces- sary. The present scarcity of goods in the market will make business good for a time at least.

 pie.
 To BRN IN MUD.
 Greeting.
 Resting on my pack heath the shade of the Big Elm" in Sheffield, read your letter that appeared in the NEWS. Aug. 18th. Was much surprised and at the same time interested to know and learn SO much that was new to me re- garding Canaan.
 Thou who wearest thy trousers loose as Father Hubbard so that they flap like the sails of ship when famed by the gentle zephyrs, who hast turban on thy head like unto a sauce pan painted red, whose face would be fit only for masquerade or curiosity shop, who hast no wealth to buy a wheelbar row and no credit to borrow one, dost fold thy tent and stesleth away to the Land of Canaan" and then trieth to tell the people of the town and its in habitants: Thou who can'st not tell IS carat fine from IS other carrots that grow in the field, tellest thy friend that Canaan is a village of much sand. True, and the people too have much sand; too much to allow wine shops and beer gardens to flourish.
 If. thou vert constructed like the beautiful steeds of which thou speakest, the beasts of burden, the camels, one drink obtained in the Irish city would last thee a week and render it unneces- sary for thee to drink the "seducive hop" - 0.-
 The seller of bran and the buyer of wood are waiting to pull thy limb again, while the shaver of the face, with gun in hand and with his faithful Bob, is tracking thee to invite thee to game of balls and stick at the ''club."
 Surely, mine friend, Canaan hath no use for thee nor thy bright pieces of jewelry and bone collar buttons. Count thy ''sheckels and pieces of pspyrus, pack thy grip and get thee back to thy native land. And let the wandering Jew advise thee that in the future ii would be we'll to keep away from "Hotel Warner, 1" the finest hotel in the town. GoLDsTEIN.

Tho following story, told of the late
Senator Stanford, is characteristic of the
man. He was always cheerful giver,
but preferred paying for work to emp
tying his purse. One day ho found a
dilapidated cab on the avenue, with a
half clad man upon the seat. why are
you standing here in the cold?" II
s'pects it's cause I'ze got too shabby,
sir, said the man. "Do you believe
that horse could carry me to tho capi-
tol?" inquired Stanford. Eyes, sir"
"Try it, then, was the response. And
all that winter the man who owned tho
finest horses in America logged along
behind the rusty steed. That there was
change in that poor drivers fortunes

"you will find, as a rule, that people
pronounce Massachusetts, 'Ma-satch-

how are you going to tell? The rule by
which it is pronounced Massachusetts
is purely arbitrary. The most curious
of all your mispronounciation are per-
haps the adopted French names. How
in the name Of the eternal fitness Of
things do you get 500 Saint Mary out
of Sault Ste. Marie? Terry Hut for

unacccuntable, too, how you came to
call Prairie du Chen Prairie doc
