est:
Killing Hogs.-This is the month for
butchering, and altbough it is a job of
hanrd. disagreeable la bor, lrimers gener.
ally contrive to make a (Iday of plelasure
of it, by in viting some neighbor to come
and help, by way of "clansgira works.'
This is all right. It promotes harot y
and good feelitng; provided. that old-lash
ionctc accompaitiiment of' butchering day
is excluded. As you loe peace, banish
the old black rum jug-don't scald your
throat instead of the hogs. The best way
to scald hogs, is, not to heat the water in
kettles, as we used to do, over the old
k itchen fire: and then carry it out in pails,
to the great danger of everybody around.
Provide a trough about ten fLet long, and
wide and deep enough to receive the body
of a lirge hog; fill it half fill of cold wa
ter; have a dozen stones, weiglhig ten to
twenty pounds each, heated in a conveni
ent fire; take dhem out with a shovel (it
Wil not injure a barn shovel); put themll
into one end of' ie trongh, and the water
will soon be hot enough; then re.heat the
stones for the next hog. Water may he
heated inl a tub or barrel, but it is not so
convenient. You vill find this the best
season for killing hogs, and yout should
see that they are well fe1d, anid ready to be
killed the first cold spell. We iever wait
for pork to cool befire sahtinag. Cut up
and salt at once. Sc that every part is
thoroughly rubbed with fine salt. With.
in a week, overhail anud rub againa; in ten
days more, repeat the operatiot. When.
ever the meat has conpletely abhsorbed
&ix poun&s of good rock salt to the hiatn.
dred weight, and laid about twentitv days,
it will be found to be cureid enoigh to
smoke. This should be done in a cool,
well-ventilated room. The best way is
to have a fire o!t doors, and coatuct the
smoke through a flue; but aaever build the I
fire in the same room ina which the meat
is to be cured.
FtRE PHIs:CArTIONs.-Tmull E are few
fires that might not have been- prevented
* by the exercise of prudence, anid a vaist
nlumber. which ifave beenl einised b)-,- nliI.
getace, arisim f'rom sheer lazintess. The
practice of' reading- ill bed, lir instanace, is
a Commoa cause of fires, whicl canot be
too highly censureaid. If the lollowinag
precautions are strictly observed, acci
dents lay fire will rarely occur, eitier in
country or towsn:
I. A void leaving your lIiglt bu rninag at
the sidhe of you r b d1, but place iton a tabl
stand, or thi floor, at a proper di.stance
from any inflanuable substinrIen.
. Never set aside a bucket, cask, nor
boX containing hot ashts or cinders, eith.
er in i closet or a cellar.
8. Nevcr stulir a Iiece of* aiglteld pat.
pet, cigar, nor other igianited su istansice to
remain ont the loar vitheit imediately
extioguishinig it by treading oat it, or ol.
C w ase.
4. Nover enter !t barn or stable, nor
other room contaiainag iiflainmmable sub.
stances, with i a naked light. A close 1an.
tern shtiild nlwatys be used.
5. Nevea' blow out gas lights, hut al.
ways extinsgua isla them lby turnilg oil' tl
supply. Should the saelI of gas be
strong, imediately close the cock at the
er, anid a void ca rry ing a Ilightc into thle
Sapmimeiia'TV where the- tscape fas take'n
plaice, before the gaas has been remove'cd
by ventilation.
0. H~ave your chimnecys kept clean by
frequent sweeping.

AN EXTRAoDINARtY ME OR.-On Fri
day evening last, soon after sunset, the atten
tioti'ofinany persona in tdoin was-attracted
towards the West by the blaze of a large
meteor in that. direction, about forty-five de
grees above the horizon. Some say that, it
shot upward, and others that its course was
either downward or dingonal. But. the most
remarkable appearance was that which suc
ceeded the flight of the body. About in the
place where it was first seen, there was vis
ible, for the space of at least.jifeein Miiiues,
very bright triril of light, of -irregular form;
soieltIniig of the zig.zag shape. It was Is
though a streak of lightning had been daguer
reotypied oin the sky. The length of the It:
mious tradIl was to a)pearanice three or four
rods. We do not remember to hive read any
account of the Nlght of a moteoi remoaining' so
long visible. We have Iot uidersltooil that
any report vas heard, but we doubt not there
was further West than this.- Wiln. Chron.
9th, inst.,
The same meteor was descernable here,
but at unfortunate mistake inl this description
mnakes its course West i .stead of N. E.
RAIL RoAD Ito.-Ten cargoes of the T
In o porchised in Englaid for rehaying the
