MISCELLANY.
A South Carolina Hog Race.
We had passed through a dense forest of
pines, hut were emerging into a •‘bottom coun
try,” where some of the finest deciduous trees
—then brown and leafless, but bearing prom
ise of the opening beauty of spring, reared,
along with the unlhding evergreen, their tall
stems in the air. The live oak, the sycamore,
the Spanish mulberry, the holly, and the per
simmon—gaily festooned with wreaths of the
white and yellow jessamine, the woodbine and
the cypress moss, and bearing here and there
a bouquet of the mistletoe, with Its deep
green and glossy leaves upturned to the sun—
flung their broad arm« over the road, forming
an archway grander and more beautiful than
any the hand of man ever wove for the great
est hero the world has ever worshipped.
The woods were free from underbrush, and
a coarse wiry grass, until for fodder, and scat
tered through them in detached patches, was
the only vegetation visible. The ground was
mainly covered with the leaves and burs of
the pine.
We passed great numbers of swine, feeding
on these burs, and now and then a horned ani
mal browsing on the cypress-moss where it
hung low on the trees. I observed that near
ly all the swine were marked, though they
acemeil too wild to have ever seen an owner
or a human habitation. They were a long,
lean, slab-sided race, with legs and shoulders
like deer, aud bearing no sort of resemblance
to the ordinary hog, except in the snout, aud
that feature was so much longer and sharper
titan the northern swine, that 1 doubt if Agas
siz would class the two as one species. How
ever, they have their uses—they make excel
lent bacon, aud are “death on snakes.” Ire
land itself is not more free from the serpentine
race titan are the districts frequented by these
long-nosed quadrupeds.
“We call them Carolina race-horses,” said
the Colonel, ns he finished an account of their
peculiarities.
“Race-horses! Why, are they fleet of foot ?"
“Fleet as deer. I'd match one against an
ordinary horse, at any time.”
“Come, my friend, you’re practising on nty
ignorance of natural history.”
“Not a hit of It. See! there's a good speei
men yonder. If we can get him into the road,
and fairly started, I'll bet you a dollar he’ll
beat Sandy’s mare on a half-mile stretch—San
dy to hold the stakes and have the winnings.”
“Well, agreed,” I said, laughing, "and I'll
give the pig ten rods the start."
“Vo ” r,-i-liei! the Colonel, “von rnn’t Afford
it, lie'll Imce tn start ahead, hut you'll need
that in the count. Come, Sandy, will you
go in for the pile t"
I’m not sure that the native would not have
run a race with old Nicholas himself, for the
sake of so much money. To him it was a vast,
sum; and as he thought of it, his eyes struck
small sparks, and his enormous heard and
Moustaches vibrated with something that faint
ly resembled a laugh. Beplyiug to the ques
tion, lie said:
“Kinder reckon I wull,Cuniiel; howsomdev
er, 1 keejis the stakes, ouy how.”
“Of course,” said the planter; but be honest
—win if you can.”
Sandy halted his horse in the road, while
the planter and 1 took to the woods on either
side of the way. The Colonel soon maiuvti
vred to separate the selected animal from the
rest of the herd, and without much difficulty
got him into the road, where, by closing down
on each flank, we kept him till he ami Sandy
were fairly under way.
“He’ll keep to tile road when once started,”
said tile Colonel, laughing; ami he'll show you
some of the tallest running you ever saw in
your life.”
Away they went. At fir*t the pig, seeming
nut exactly to comprehend the programme,
cantered oil' at a leisurely pace, though he held
his own. Soon, however, lie east an eye be
hind him—halted a moment to collect his
thoughts ami ruconuoiter—ami then, lowering
bis head and elevating bis tail, put forth all
his speed. And such speed! Talk of a deer,
the wind, or a steam engine—they are not to
be compared with it. Nothing ill nature 1 ev
er saw run—except it may he a Southern tor
nado, or a Vltli Ward politician—could hope
to distance that pig. He gained on the horse
at every step ami soon it was evident that my
dollar was gone!
“In for a shilling in for a pound,” is an old
adage—so, turning to the Colonel, I said, as
intelligibly as my horse's rapid pace and my
excited risibilities would allow:
“1 see I’ve lost, but I'll go you another dol
lar that you can’t beat the pig!”
“No—sir!” the Colonel got out in the breaks
of bis laughing explosions; “you can’t hedge
me in that manner. I’ll go a dollar that you
can’t do it, and your inarc is the fastest on the
road. She won me a thousand not a month
ago.”
"\\ ell, I'll do it—Sandy to have the stakes.”
“Agreed” said the Colonel, and away ice
went.
The swinish racer was about a hundred
yards ahead when 1 gave the mare the reins
mill tolil hor In irn 4 nH uItn ,11,1 Kim fl<>»
against the wind with a motion so rapid that
my face, its it clove the air. felt as if cutting
its way through a solid body, and the trees, as
we passed, seemed struck witli panic, and run
ning for dear life ill the opposite direction.
For a few moment, I thought the mare was
gaining, and I turned to the Colonel with an
exultant look.
“Don’t shout till you win. my boy,” lie called
out from the distance where I was fast leaving
him and Sandy.
1 dill not xltout, for spite of all my efforts,
the space between me and the pig seemed to
widen. Yet 1 kept on, determined to w ill, till,
at tne end of a short half mile, we reached the
Waceammaw—the swine still u hundred yards
ahead! There his pigsliip halted,turned cooly
around, eyed me for a moment, then with a
quiet, deliberate trot, turned off into the woods.

_OFFICIAL.
IssessovV Mol ice,
"V^OTIf F. is heiebv given that 1 have been nppoiut
i-i ed Assessor of Taxes for the First Congressional
District of the State of Maine, under the Act of Con
gress, approved July 1. A. D. 1K62, entitled “An Act
to provide internal revenue to support the Govern
ment and to pay interest on the puolic debt.”
In compliance with the provisions of said Act and
instructions of the Commissioner of Internal
Kevenue. I have divided said District into eleven
divisions, and appoint an Assistant Assessor in each,
as follows :
The 1st division comprises the towns of York,
Wells, Kennebunk. hennebunkport, and the city of
Biddetord; Joseph Buagdon, Jr., of York, Assist
ant.
2d division, the towns of Kittery, Eliot, South
Berwick, Berwick and North lferwiefc; Theodore
A. Hollins, of South Berwick. Assistant.
3d division, the towns of I^ehauon, Sanford, Al
fred. Acton, Slmpleigh and Newtield; John S. Par
ker. of Lebanon, Assistant.
4th division, the towns of Saco, Dayton, Lvman
and Waterborough; John Gains, oi Saco, Assist
ant.
6th division, the towns of Itnxton, Hollis, Liming
ton, Limerick, Cornish and 1 arsonsfield; Charles
E. Weld, of Buxton, Assistant.
6th division. Wards 1, 2, S and 4 of the city of
Portland; Samuel Small, of Ward 4 in said city,
Assistant.
7th division. Wards 5, 6 and 7 of said city of Port
land, Augustus E. Gkuiusu, ol Ward6,iii said city,
Assistant.
8th division, the towns of Westbrook, Falmouth,
Gorham, Scathomugh and ( ape Elizabeth; David
Toruey, of Wi*st brook, Assistant.
9lh division, the towns of Bridgton, Sehago, Bald
win. Standish, Naples, Harrison and Otisticld; Lot
C. Nei.hon, of Bridgton, Assistant.
10th division, the towns of New Gloucester, Gray,
North Yarmouth, Cumberland, Windham. Casco and
Haymond; Skwall N. Groks, of New Gloucester,
Asr-istant.
11th division, the towns of Freeport, Brunswick,
Harpswell, Pownnl and Yarmouth; Hkzekiau B.
Means, of Freeport, Assistant.
The act under which these assistants are appointed
took effect on the 1st day of September instant.
Citizens residing in the large business centres of
this district have doubtless read it, and can hence
form their own couclu.-ious in relation to its provis
ions; but as there are many in the agricultural sec
tions wliit max ltnx'it Loot, iinoMo ..I.„ ........ «...
examination. I wish to call their attention to some of
its principle*.
Soon after the rebellion broke out, Congress found
it necessary to assess a small direct tax ou the sever
al States, to maintain the credit of the country. The
State* being authorized to assume the payment of the
sum demanded of them, Imd the power to assess it
upon all the property within their limits.
Farms and other real estate being, from their na
ture, more exposed than other objects of taxation,
would suffer severely from the constant draft for
money, created in sustaining the government during
this war. and they could not long endure the burdeu
a direct tax would impose upon them.
Maine's proportion « f that tax has been liquidated
and paid. In order to provide in part for the future
expenses of the w ar. Congress wisely determined to
raise money from the people without State interven
tion, and without taxing the producing c asses. To
effect this object, and to make the tax equal in every
State, they have |>a<«*ed what has been termed an Ex
cise Act. Fassiug bv the farmer, the mechanic, the
fisherman, the lumberman, and many other pursuits
so essential to our prosperity as a people, thin act
levies its light contributions upon the wealth, the
luxuries, the pleasures, and business of the country.
It confines its operations chiefly to the cities, towns
and villages, and gathers its revenues from the chan
nels in which floats the inouey of the country.
Jt does not tax real estate of any description, nor
with a very few exceptions, personal property. The
excess ov»v 40 ounces of silver spoons or plate, and
riding carriages of all descriptions, valued w ith the
harne** at ?7'» and upwards, must be assessed. With
the exception of these two items, there is not prob
ably a farmer nor a mechanic in this district, within
the act. These an* taxed at a sum so inconsiderable
that it is to be hoped every citizen who desires the
perjietuity of his government will, in this terrible cri
sis of its affair*, assume cheerfully his proportion of
its necessary burdens, and if he is fortunately the
owner of an article liahV to b*’ assessed, put a value
upon it which shall bring if within the act. It may
he tin* only opportunity he w ill ever have to contri
bute a dollar lor the preservation of his government.
I he professional man — the retail trader wi.o*c
sales excis'd one thousand dollar* per vear—the man
uflicturer of am article the sale* of w hich excit'd
six hundred dollar* per year—the hotel keeper—the
man whose yearly income exceeds six bundled dol
lars. and several other employ molds are to bo assessed.
It is presumed all such are oouveraaut with the pro
usions of this act.
1 would call their attention to section* from six to
eleven, inclusive, and section fifty-eight.
These sections impose the duty upon every person
liable to be assessed lor a tax or license, to call imme
diately upon the as*i*tant assessor and make up and
sign their several assessments. If they neglect so to
do. he is required to increase th»*ir tax fifty per cent.,
and uo discretionary authority is vested in the assis
tant or the assessor to make any abatement of this
amount. See sectiou 11.
It will be perceived by a careful examination of
these sectious, that < ongrees. relying upon tin* patri
otism of tile business men of the’country, proceeded
upon the hypothesis that every one liable to be taxed
would substantially asses* himself, ami sign the bills
fixing the amount he was to pay. If the act, there
fore i» complied with, the assistant assessor is but a
recording otl.cer, who receive* and pro|>erly enters
th«* lists delivered him by the citizen, and hi* duty in
relation to fixing a valuation upon object* liable to
taxation, is ratla-r advisory than absolute. In order
however to prevent the selfish, the indifferent, or tlie
traitorous, lrotu escaping their proper proportions of
the public burden, Congress lias fixed the penalties
for their neglect, prescribed in section 11.
Having been intrusted by the Fresideut with flic
duty of seeing that tlu-sc tax Mats are properly pre
pared, and scasouablv delivered to the collector of
this district, I respectfully request all good citizens
withiu it to call immnfiatelff u|m>ii tin* assistant asses
sor of the assessment district where they reside, and
deliver him lists as required in the sixth section of
the act. He will give all person* the necessary in
formation to enable them to comply with its provis
ions. and furnish blank.* therefor.

plaints better than 1 could have told them myself. I
commenced taking her medicine, although I could
take but small doses at first, owing to iny having
heart disease, but this is not all the disease which I
was troubled with, for I had a number of diseases too
numerous to mention. 1 bad boon to a number of

A Remarkable C ase of a boy w ho was cured by
DR. II. J. BOYNTON,
Of Scrofulous Ophthalmia, as the following facts will
■how:
along time the boy's eye-lids had
^ggT^beeu entirely closed. Disease was consul
•©^Kered almost’hopeless. The bov was put un
der the care or Dr. B., ami alter great pa
tience and perseverance, with his electrical treatment
and with other curatives, he was able to lift bis eye
lids, w hen it was discovered that a false membrane
bad formed and covered the entire eyes. This was
removed by Dr. lloynton, and the boy's eye-sight is
now entirely restored, and his eyes stronger than ev
er before. This should be known to all persons who
are similarly afflicted. Although I understand that
the Doctor has for many years, in his operations on
these delicate organs—the eye and oar,met with em
inent success, he has not deemed it necessary to keep
blazing before the public his surgical skill in this par
ticular part of his profession, but has been silently
performing cures, many of them of a remarkable
character.”
itr Certificates from numerous of his patients
will testify to his successful operations, all of which
may be seen at his ollicc.

Howe*’ Cougli Pill*,
By the concurrent testimony of many sufferers, the

DIAltRIKKA OR DYSENTERY
In persons of all ages, no medicine has ever come to
the knowledge of the public, that so effectually does
it work and at the same time leaves the bowel* iu au
active, healthy condition, as
CLEM'S SUMMER CURE.
That for Children Cutting Teeth, if troubled with
Diarrlnea or any irregularities of the bowels, all oth
er remedies are insignificant, a* compared with
CLEM'S SUMMER CURE.
That for Children troubled with Canker in mouth
or stomach, or mother* suffering from nursiug sore
mouth, a safe ami speedy cure is effected by the use of
CLEM'S SUMMER CURE.
That for Coughs, Hoarseness and Bronchial affect
ion*. there i* no remedy extant that so uni\ersally
affords relief as
HOWES' COUGH 1'ILLS.
That for a Tightness or Wheeling iu the Chest
Pains in the side, or a long standing Hack, the best
remedy is
HOWE'S COUGH FILLS.
That as an expectorant and ameliorating agent in
cases of Phthisic. Whooping Cough, and Confirmed
Consumption, the public have already rendered their
uuited verdict iu favor of
HOWES COUGH PILLS.
CLEM'S SUMMER CURE is a pleasant, agreeable
decoction of Roots and Barks, and contains not a
particle of Opium or Drug of any sort, it always
docs good, and never does harm.
