FIFTY YEARS AGO.
AMBLERvILLE PORK

We published last week, a short statement concerning the hogs butchered on Wednesday after Thanksgiving, by the Amb1ers. and one of their workmen, in TrurhbuIl. There were nine in alI-the two larg- est of which weighed 419 pounds, and the average weight of all was SS0 pounds. In conclusion we put the question: What other neighbor- hood, in this quarter, can present nine hogs heavier than those of AmbIer- vile 7ss
 As we expected, this question threw the pork raisers generally into a rivaIrous state of mind, and the re- suit has been to bring an array of figures which would otherwise nev- CT have appeared in print
 Among the statements sent us, is one from Elam Haw1ey, Esq, who lives not far from the A1nb1ers-the substance of which is that during the last IS years he has butchered tWen- fy-six hogs; two in each year. They were all less than 15 months old. The largest of the lot weighed 562 pounds; the next largest 500; four of the next largest weighed over 4O0; the smallest weighed 333-and the average weight of them all was a little over 400 pounds. If there is any man in the country can make a better showing than this, we would like to see him do it.

TREATY
 WITH GREAT BRITAIN


 tFrom the Philadelphia Freeman's
 Journal)
 The London papers have given an outline of a Commercial Treaty, which they say, has been or is about to be concluded between Great Bri- tain and the United States
 The first article of said supposed Treaty. is the dispensing with the Navigation Laws of both countries. or in other words, the foreign tonnage duty is mutually given up.
 This article, according to the req soning of the London Chronicle, will operate in the ratio of i12"to l in fla vor of the American merchants,
 The second great article in the Treaty is. grant on the part of Great Britain to the Americans to trade to Calcutta, the Peninsula of HiHdustan; while the trade of China belongs to the East India Co.,, which has no power to obstruct the inter course of either Americans or any other foreigners there The United States will therefore have access to traffic with every possession the -Bri- tish hold in the East Indies According to the ideas of Europe (continues the London editor) this grant must not only be viewed in the light of a great commercial advan-. tage but also of a political favor. - The third article prohibits the British from trading with the Indians within the Jurisdiction of the United States.
 The London editor concluded by observing. that this Treaty the Amer leans are the gathers, while all the concessions, favors. etc., come from Great Britain

Take A Local Paper.

The local newspaper should be
found in every home. No child will
grow up ignorant who can be taught
to appreciate the home paper. 1t is
the stepping stone of intelligence in all
those matters not to be learned in books.
Give your children a foreign paper
which contains not one word about
any person, place or thing which they
ever saw or perhaps ever heard of, and
how can you expect them to be inter
ested? But let them have the home
paper and read of persons whom they
meet, and places with which they are
familiar, and soon an interest is aWak-
ened which increases with every daily
arrival of the local paper. Thus a
habit of reading is formed, and those
children will read the papers all their
lives and become intelligent men and
women, a credit to their ancestors,
strong in their knowledge of the world
as it is today.
