well illustrates what 1 have above
stated.

number of hogs into n settlement to
sell after reaching his destination miss
ed q fine black SOW Search was made
in every conceivable place without dis
covering anything of the missing pork
er.
Weeks passed by. and the farmer had
given up all hope of ever recovering
his lost or stolen property when to his
surprise it was found in the cellar of
an old abandoned house
AS the house was situated at the edge
of the road over which he had driven
the hogs. it is supposed that she fell
through the rotten flooring upon which
she had stepped at some moment when
the farmers eyes had wandered in an
other direction.
When brought up she was a pitiable
sight The skin hung in folds upon her
poor. unpadded bones.
Food was given her. in small quaint
ties at first. and it was not long before
she entirely recovered from her long
fast
On referring to the books recording
the sale of the rest Of the stock it was
learned that three months lacking five
days had elapsed. showing that she
had sustained life without nourish-
ment for as long period as the ac-
credited alternating animals. - New
