When a Hog Cost a Hundred Dollars.

Clarence 5. Whittier, who was for sew
eral years in the meat business in this
city, and whose father r. II. Whittier,
had a meat market here for over 40
years. says the Montpelier Argus, takes
exceptions to the present hue and cry
that 70 cents is the RICHEST price ever
paid for hogs in this section of the
country He can remember. he says,
time shortly after the Civil war when
his father paid 16 2-3 cents a pound for
the round hog instead of the present price
of - cents, and that, too, when hog
was supposed to weigh from 400 up be-
fore he was big enough to be butchered.
He tells of one occasion when his father
bought hog Of one of the farmers which
weighed very nearly 600 pounds, which at
16 % cents a pound would come to an
even 800. The difference was so slight
that his father paid the farmer 800 for
the hog, which was the banner price
ever paid for one porker in this section
of the country
One summer and fall Mr.. Whittier's
market ran short of salt pork, and George
w Parmenter, who was then employed
there, was sent out among the farmers
to buy up salt pork, paying them 20
cents a pound for pork which was sold
for 2s cents when 1t reached this city.
Beef was not as high in those days
for there was no western beef. all the
beef used in the local markets being
killed on the farms in the immediate
vicinity Another thing which differed
from the present day conditions was the
fact that the farmers, instead of turning
their hogs three or four times year.
as they do at present butchered only
twice a year, in the spring and fall, the
hogs generally weighing over 400, and
frequently going beyond the 500 mark.
This was due to the refrigeration facili-
ties OF those days being very crude max
ing it necessary to do most OF the hog
business in cold weather, and during the
summer there was very little trade In
these animals The only refrigerator that
Mr. whittier can remember in the earlier
days Of his fathers market was box
about like the one now used for fish, In
which ice was placed and the meat laid
on the ice.

Resignation Of Rev. Mlnot S. Hartwel.
Rev w. Z. White of Ledyard, Conn,
formerly pastor of the Hinsdale COngre-
gational church, occupied the pulpit Sun
day, both morning and evening. An un-
usually large audience greeted him as
all his old Pensioners were glad to hear
his voice again. During the opening
services Mr.. White, with much feeling,
rendered the resignation of the pastor,
Rev. Minot Shaw Hartwell, whose con-
tinued illness, with little hope of being
able to preach for a long time, made it
seem wise to him to resign his position
and thus be relieved from all RESPONSE
billy and the church be at liberty to
form new connections. The resignation
was received with much emotion on the
part of the audience. While Rev. Mr.
Hartwell has been in failing health near
ly ever since he came here, he has, up
to his present Illness, performed the du-
ties of his pastorate faithfully, often far
overtaxlng his strength. and has en-
deared himself to his people. Much
sympathy is felt for the family in their
trying circumstances.
The resignation as dictated to Rev. w
F White, was as follows: ITO the First
Congregational Church and Society, Hins-
dale, n. II. My Dear Brethren: In
view of my continued illness and of the
uncertainty of knowing when l can
preach again, | deem 1t wise to tender
my resignation, to take effect at such
time and in such manner as you may
deem wise. My physical weakness does
not admit of any proper expression Of
my appreciation Of your kindness and
consideration. The way of the future Is
not plain, but we are in our Heavenly
Fathers care. and may His will be done.
Pray for me and mine, as l pray for you.
Yours in the Masters name. Rev. Minot

Spring Comes.

Along the rivers brink,
Where Winter camped serene,
And cross the fields and lane,
Are tiny blades Of green.
The budding trees are glad
With twitter and chirp OF birds,
And meath last Summers leaves
A violet lately stirred.
l lie and watch the Spring,
With tiny, toddling feet,
Creep forth from Winters clasp,
The hills and wales to greet.
Then stronger, holder grown,
Her mantle trailing free,
With warm and rosy lips
She kisses land and sea,

And where she passed, Oh, see!

A poem in each tree.
