A CURIOUS PIG.
Yesterday Lee Jester, who lives
ntar Brushey, brought to this city a
month old quadruped that a sow on
his place gave birth to, which he
claims to be a pig, but there is room
for doubt.
It is sandy iu color with ears like
a fox, feet like a dog. its head, be
tween the ears, resembles that of a
monkey while its body, head and
snout is that of a pig. Its squeak,
while verv much like that of a pig,
is not quite mo shrill.
Mr, Jester says that the sow lit
tered five pigs, four of which were
deformed, this and one perfect one
being the only two to live. Thi*
one ia fat and healthy and enjoys
its milk, lapping it somewhat like
a dog
DOWN ON THE FARM.
Farming is one of the noblest
occupations known to man or to
woman. The first man was a
farmer, bis occupation God choen,
and the first wife was a farmer’s
wife. If the employment has be
come distasteful to young people,
so that it. in difficult to keep the old
ho estead in the familv, the fault
lies in the conditions which the
Firmer impose- n himself and on
his fain ly The great w >rld of art.
SC ence and literature should be
opened to the farmed* song aid
laughters ana the courtesies and
refinements ot life shared by them
a* well as by the families of the men
ot affairs in the town ; and until the
fartlJ•r , lifr* broadens to meet the re
quirements ot the times he must
not expect to detain at home the
wide awake boys and girls who are
needrd there.
FARMER AND NEWSPAPER
MAN.
Many men think that newspaper
men ate persistent dun tiers. By
way of compariison lat us suppose
that a farmer raises 1 000 bushels of
wheai a year, and sells this to 1,000
persons in all parts of the country,
great portion of them saying: "I
hand you a dollar in a eh*.it time.’’
The farmer does not want to be
•mall and says: ‘‘All right/ Soon
the 1,000 bushels are gone but he
has nothing to show for it, and be
then realizes that he has tooled
away his whole crop and its value to
him is due him in a thousand little
driblets, consequently he is serious
lv embarrassed in his business, he
cause the debtors, each owing him
II treat it as a small matter ad
think it would not help very much.
Continue this kind of business year
in and veer out as the publish* r
does, how long would he stand it?
A lamntnt's thought would con*
v n-t anyone that a publisher has
cause for persistent dunning—Way

The gluttonous Vitellius is report
ed to have eaten 1,000 oysters at a

who first ventured on eating of oys
ters,” King James was wont to de

Gay:
The man had sure a palate covered o'er
With brass or steel that on the rocky shore
First broke the oozy oyster’s pearly coat
And risked the living morsel down his throat.
