cmocraf Thursdaj, Aug. 12, 137?. LOCAL DEPARTMENT. Our (own is dull. Dout forget oor Fair. The days are shortening. No raiu for 2,' days last week. The country is drying out. Musty wheat will be plenty. Ague is having a good run. This is "Can-Can" season. The grape crop will be large. The potato bug season is over. Rag money taken on subscription. Kov. Z. T. Sullivan will be absent from his pulpit for four weeks. A little over two weeks and our schools will open agiin. Isn't it strange that green blackber ries are always red ? The Iato water movement beat the crusade of one year ago. Sunshine is what the farmers want now. Cabbage worms are spoiling the . kraut business. How many farmers wore in the King-ni asters Convention? For a change we bad a shower of rain on Sunday. The evenings and mornings are cool. The bright sunny weather has cheered up many of the despondent. -Considerable wheat will bo saved in this county. M. Sturm has the largest Stock of Trunks and Valises. The farmers are good voters, but they won't do to hold office. So said the Ecpublicau Eiug-masters Conven tion. This (Thursday) is tho last of the dog days. The dugs have had their days now. Cucumbers and lots of ice water are recommended to persons having a desire to shuffle ofT. Hayes will not carry his own town for Governor of Ohio. The crusade killed him at home. Tho Teachers Institutes is now in session in Eaton. It seems to bo well attended. The fly crop is largo and annoying. Housekeepers are engaged in daily battles with pestiferous swarms. Where, oh where is the music grinder and the frisky monkey ? For months our streets have missod them. Prof. Alex. Forbes, of Cleveland, will deliver a Freo Lecture npon some educational subjects, at the City Hall, Wednesday evening, Aug. lllh. Our Street Commissioner has bad our streets scraped. Now let the Board of Health "sec to some of our back yards. The Eaton Baud treated the citi zens to a serenade from the Court House steps, on Saturday evening last. Mr. Oldfattikk is not a grocerer, as we stated last week ; neither is he a Granger, but is now engaged in (he manufacture of tile. "Lunatic fringe" is the name given to the fashion of cropping the hair and letting the ends hang down, over the forehead. With $100,000 a year the very poor est clcrgrman might struggle onward toward Zion and not caro much. how many years it tpok to reach it. Pants, Vests, Coats, Collars, Tics, Susponders, Hals, Caps, Trunks and Valises, at Sturm's. In the tickot given last week as the one nominated by tho Republican Convention, the name of Levi Kis inger, for Infirmary - Director, was emitted. When you sco a boy fondly fold his hands over his front waist-buttou,and meekly bow his head, you may know that the presence of green apples is receiving due respect. ' . " Put both your lower limbs into one leg of your pantaloons ; take the other leg, roll into a bunch and tie it be hind you; then try to walk. That will teach you how nice a pull-back dress is. Money is what I want. I will give yon the full value. M.STUItM. ' A yonng lady was recently heard to say, with a sigh, "What with being tied around above, and lied around below, I have not had a good square sit down for three months." Items are scarccr-than mosquitoes in December. Nobody is doing no thing and no one knows nothing a bout it. Nobody is going nowhere and nothing is going on. An observing street corner idler says be has learnt one thing by ths opportunities ofTered by tho pull-back 6tyle of dress the garter is now worn above the knee. In reply to the request of tho Paris Academy of Natural Science, we would say that, we cannot exchange publications with them, but think they would better subscribe for the work complete, which will be issued in book" form as soon after the "trea tises are published in our journal as possible. The engravings alone will be worth twice the price of our book, $1500. Go to Sturm, if you want to buy very CHEAP GOODS. "McC,." correspondent of the Eaton Register from Camden, shows too much "true inwardness" in regard to the election of Sammy Dix, for Trea surer. "There is many a slip between the cup and the lip," Mack, and wo advise you not to build too high on Sammy's prospective vacancy. Some' times tho people take queer notions about voting men out of good com fortable positions, merely to accoui modate them with an office. LOCAL DEPARTMENT. Natural History--Hogs. LOCAL DEPARTMENT. Natural History--Hogs. NUMBER 3. It is with much diflidenco that -we approach this sjibject. In fact very few men, even the most scientific, care to approach a hog. Hogs are- divided by natural historians into several dis tinct kinds or classes. As the wild hog and the tamo hog, the country ho;r and tho town bos. Wild boss in great numbers inhabit the vast for ests of Russia. Tho author of this treatise, while traversing tho great Russian Steppes, saw wild hogs in all their native grandeur, sitting on'thosc steppes. He called the attention of his companion, tho Emperor Nicho las to them, who quietly remarked, that the great Russian Bear, about which so much is said in modern di plomacy, would never trouble Turkey so long as wild hogs were plenty. Hogs aro noted for their cleanly hab its, their sweet and guileless disposi tion and their musical gifts. It is these quali ics which have made hogs the pets of man in all ages. Hard in deed, must bo tho heart, which can withstand the plaiulive notes of a hungry pig. Nothing adds inoro to the beauty of a town, than to sco tame hogs me andering about its streets and alleys. The writer has been informed that the august city Council of tho very town where your paper is published, by special ordinincc make it tho impera tive duty of every householder, who is able, to own a few hogs or a sow and pigs, to turn them itito-tlic streets. Nothing could be more indicative of Ihcir good taste and generous culture. The Marshal is ordered to place in tho public pound, any man, woman or child, who disturbs swine, when they aro rooting tip sidewalks and grass plats, to extract therefrom the noxious worms and different kinds of bugs, which burrow therein. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon tho enlightened public spirit, which soars above party turmoils and illibo ral prejudices and as between the uohifort and freedom of tho individual and the elegant instincts of swine, promptly, decides to stand or fall with the hogs. . The difference between, town hogs and country hogs, is very striking. The town hog has usually less gravi ty specific gravity, than the country hog. His facnltics are more brisk and he is more given to active and less to reflection, than the country hog. Town hogs are from their birth trained to habits of industry. It be ing lhcir special duty to act as scav engers, they lose no time. Thev have to inspect the contents of every slop bucket, even if they must take a gate off the binges to get at thorn. They linvo to examine into the condition of every gutter. Tliey are supplemented in their efforts by Boards of Health, but where a Board of Health removes one offensive smell, a hog will remove a hundred. We have sometimes tho't town hogs wore not very particular what they cat. but upon examination wo came to the conclusion that their eyes were so far from the end of the snout, they could not sec what their noso wits in. Wo think if they had another pnir of eyes nearer the nose, they would be more particular in this respect. Wo' believe their running the streets and poking their noses into other people's business, has u tenden cy to make town hogs run to nose. They certainly do not need so much nose to 6mell with. It is very good to -peel Elm trees with and in the country they aro much .used for that purpose. They arc handy to run through picket feuccs and root up gardens with. Tho attitudo of the noble animal in the cut which a'doois this article, represents tho town hog just as ho has withdrawn his snout through-a Tence, after it had received a blow from an indignant gardener. Hogs don't blow their noses much, but they receivo a great many blows from othors. Blows furnished to hogs nose, especially a town hog, is about the only way yon can make him change his mind about the 'direction he will travel. We havo seen a town hog, evidently bent upon going west. and growing up with the country, change his mind and strike east in a twinkling, when somebody had blowv ed his nose for him. If vou wanta town hog to go north, try and get a few boys to chase him south. In this way you can get them to go the way you want them. Country hogs are broken to the halter, and we hare, seen a country hog with a rope tied round one hind leg, lead its owner for miles, and seemingly manifest great aflec tion for him. In our treat i so upou Cats, we at tempted to show our readers how our language developed from tho custom and habits of. that beautiful animal From tho days when musical roll of the Sanscrit, whoso majestic ruins arouse the enthusiasm of the phrciiol orist to tho present day, language has grown from trivial cijcunistaiiccs to words and phrases of profound mean ing. Tho boy at school, as ho pon dcrs over liquid measures, (and the writer was always much more partial to this than dry measures, although he was no crusader) little thinks that the thick skinned pachyderm, which for short we call a hog, suggested the idea of calling sixty-threo gallons hogs-head. The vessel called a hogs head, wns, beforo tho invention of th beer tank, tho largest made, and by watching tho vast amount which hog would get through his head to fill his stomach, the idea of calling it hogs-head was suggested. Since Natural History began to as sume the beautiful outlines of a sci ence, great attention has been devot ed to the culture and development of the hog. In the western hemisphere one of the most successful breeders of hi heautiful animal, succeeded so admirably, that the pork which came from his yard is known the world over as swiiic-FLaiscu, or the swine of Mr. Fleisch. It was by the cross ing the stock of Mr. Fleisch, with that of a celebrated connosscur in the same line, by tho name of Shaw, that was produced tho rare stock owned by one Gustavus Peters, a great natural istorian, whose numerous works avc attracted the attention of the learned and liberal professions, espe cially the law. It is related upon good authority, that one of the chief officers of the high Court of Justice of tho Peace, by the name of Gold smith, by virtue of a writ, attempted o seize upon some of the hogs of the oble Gustavus, to satisfy -the rapaci ty of a heartless creditor, when the ogs became a'armcd and climcd tall trees, even to their topmost boughs, nd the luckless officer had to pursue them and shake them down. It was ot until a writ of "ke exeat reo- num had been placsd in Lib nanus t hat he felt the least assurance he could apture them. There was a noted Swinologist by the name of Dufficld, who carried tho improvement of breeds to such per fection that bis hogs grew to so pon derous a sizo that tho Legislature of the Slate in which he lived passed a pecial act forbidding his hogs to ;rov more than ten feet in length, or fifteen feet in diameter. Ho at once put his hogs npon half rations, but they became so fat notwithstanding this restriction, that he reduced their rations, more and is yet sorely per plexed. For a long lime it has been an ad mitted fact that pork killed in the lit of the moon would shrink in cooking, if killed in the dark of the moon would swell. As the various scientists began to reflect upon this strange phenomena, one of the most pious and cradito of their number called attention to tho fact, that au ccount was given in snored writ, That when tho Devil got into the herd of swine, they ran violently down steep placo into the lea." And up on an examination ot metoonogicai records of both ancient and modern times it was found that the tides ever since have risen and fallon, in strict accordance with the lights and shades cast upon the surface of tho great deep by the moon, and the more ad vanced scientists now believe that it is tho alternate swelling and shrink ing of the pickled pork iu the ocean which produced the grand phenom ena, the tides of the great deep. We would indeed be pleased could wo say all in ono treatise which our prolific subject suggest. But wc must close. We might further follow our theme. There is an end to every thing even a town hog sooner or later his evil destiny overtakes him, and The scene shuts nn with loss of breath And leaves no epilogue but death. Sturm keeps the largest stock of Clotiiing in the county. Something near two years ago James Bruce had a mare stolen from his pas ture near Eaton, but never got track ot lief until on Saturday last, when he was somewhat surprised at seeing her standing quietly in the street hitched to a buggy. It seems that Mr. John Vermillion who has heretofore lived in Darke Co., has recently rented Dr, Stepheu's farm north of town, and moved on to it amonc the animals owned bv him was Bruee's mare. Mr. Vermillion was fully as much astonish cd as Mr. Bruce, he having purchased or trailed for the mare in Darke co. soon after she was stolen. We understand that ho knows tho man he got her of, but wo heard none of the par ticulars except that tho rarty was a colored man We hope Mr. Vermillion will be able to make himself whole in the matter. Everybody says Sturm can sell cheap- -, and more Goods than any man in the Country. Call and sco his New Hats. The "JACftsos House," (formerly Doty House,) under the proprietorship of Mr. Jackson, has been greatly im proved and refurnished in elegant and first-class style, and it now ranks sec ond to but few hotels in the country Tlie bill of fare at this house will be tlie best the market can afford, and nothing will be left undone by tho new Land lord that will give comfort to his guests.
