completed in these United States, by the

It has been known to every liodv that fol‘
the last ten years it has been impossible to
hatch eggs, or raise poultry, _or to trust any
_tliinc_r at large of that natur--night zirtcr I‘.l'1l1._l'

eried the lawyer.
_ and they got so bold and brazen at last they
would come into the [)0Ull.l'l.\_'-I_\'.'il‘Cl pi
day, or any where else, on’ rept t_..e in
.feather‘d. tribe a kackling pretty much all
the while. At first the folks got traps and
dogs; but it got so at last, tli-at the foxes got
sonumcrous, it was just as much :1: oldogs
life was worth to attacl ’em—:intl o {S e-
gan to despair-—cspcciailly as it was found
out that all the young foxes got all their d -
rections from one rule sly fo2:,_wlio as_ yet
never had been track'd, or trap d, or rlriveu
to his hole‘; he was every ll-‘/I.t37'(31ln ci.~ci'_i/ Slallc
almost at the same time. An: wlierever ic
was «reported to be, there it was found all the
other foxes was most knowing and most im-
' ' tled that i‘ was no
_pudent. So it was conclu l, .
rise to try and trap the common run of foxes.
but if possible, make a general rally in all
the States, and give chase to tlizs old f.);i:
cspecially—and not give up till he was run
to his hole, and then dig /.-im. ou.l——for it was
thought if he was onl_v caught, all the rest
would be pretty scarce. ‘Well, this matter
being agreed upon, the first thing next to be
done was to select a good long-zuiitrle.-l lt'flt'l&'l‘
ofthe. chase--one who would not give out.-anil
whose horn could be lI?.'ll'(l f.ir'.hest. And
so we all agreed upon Old Ti7i,—:intl we got
him pretty well mounted,and he sounded his
horn, and its echoes went up and down ri-
vers, and across valleys, and over mountains.
till folks all about creation got well acquain-
ted with the sound_.—anrl on a given day, they
assembled at their stations, and put in prac-
tice the few general rules of the chase. ca-
pering a little round, and having a few sham
chases jest to git nimble.——and then on a
signal from Old Tzpls born, they all started,
and sich a chase as I said afore. as then be-
gan the hull creation has never before seen
—for it was an everlasting wide and long
country to chase over. and no one l.'nowinr_r
yet where the fox would first break l-:iver,al|
bands at first went to work bealiiig llie bus/i.
The first track was struck in Lnilisio.7id. and
about 3,000 give chase there and run him
out of that Statn——and he strealred it away
North as hard as l'lt'C0l‘llLI clip it, and know-
ing all the secret by-ways, CSC'ipt‘t'l till he
reached the State of /lIa.i'n.c. The Maine
boys were wide awake, and as soon as they
_struck his track there, they raised an al-
mighty shout and headed him off. He then
sheared off to New Hampshire, where they
, are pritty much allfm:-—aud there fora spell
took breath. But lieriring the covniiig shout
he struck for Vermont, in hopes the “ Green
Mountings” would furnish a. lciv.-ir-.liut they
were all a wake there, and about 8.000 folks
joined in the chase, and he remained no lon-
ger in Vermont than he could act out on’t.
" Well,” thinks be, "this is pritty little -.-;ork,
and I'm 00 South agiu, for they must be
friendly to me there, seeing as how I tell’d
all the foxes to be civil to the Southern
Chickens,”——an:l so he slipt along to Geor-
gia. The Georgia folks l1n\VPVel‘,t't0t liking
the natur of the breed, had already called
their fox hiintcrs tozetlier, and on the first
show of a track they all opened and about
5,000 give chase there in :1 most noble stile.
he turned tail and ran tow:irds,tlio middle
States. In passing‘ tl]Z‘0‘!‘t’1'll the old North
State or C;irolin:i. he finds things too wide

continued all the way tlirough Mzirylanrl,

bothered the limiters pl.-igily inI’«-nnsylvaiiia
for they don’t understand for liunlingr much

cially in bucks co:iiity,and that is the reason
why in that-co°.inty they Ill’-.\‘:1\'S have. good
,poultry and plenty on't. Solhe coniiriiicd
_I_V:_o_i:th. In Connecticut and Rhode Island
they gave him an amazing’ close run-—zin'l
no time to stop or double, and rcnamost
caught him. As for Massachusetts, he knew
pretty well he stood no chance thcrc, and so
you see but one strait clzasc. across-mid
taltinga bite. in New Hampshire, he tricd
for New York and rim considerable well
along the Hudson-—-but such a bowl as met
him in the west was a sliiver for him and he
_sheere:l ‘off for Ohio, but that was out of the
frying pan into the hot ashcs—-and looking
around him and seeing all ready in the States
,—some 10,000, some 15,000, soinc more or
‘less-—scoiiring the country and prepared to
-track—-thinks he “ its no uSc——.‘ to the oiggnr

party and I may as well go for ii in the last”
and he made a dead track to the Log Cabin,
at the Nort/iBc~i.rl--with about 30,000Buck-

‘em. I was standingnearthetloor and I seed

CABBAUES» AS FOOD FOR HOGS.
_A gentleman rcui.:r_ked. in our I1€ill'ln_£I'.
.. ow (luvs since, that czibbzigcs was a val-
uable fooil for bugs. The idea was new ‘to
us, yin-l we inquired the manner of finding.
In reply, ‘he gave the following as the re-
sult of his expcrieiice the last summer.-
I-Iaviug a fine patch of plants, and obscrving
the botioui ls-aves beginning to decay, he di-
rected his f:iruier to procure a water-tight
cask, and gather a buslielofthe lower leaves
from the cabbage plants. and deposit them in
the barreI,with a hantlfulofsalt,-and one quart
of corn meal. On this was poured the con-
tents ofthe kitchen swill pail,‘ and the whole
was suffered to stand undisturbed for twenty
four hoiirs._ when the process was repeated,
with the exception of the s:ilt——and so. eve‘-l‘_\'
day, until the cask was filled with :1 mass of
wilted leaves. about six quarts of corn mcal,~
potatoc pccliiigs, crumbs of bread. &.c., from
tho liitcbi-ii; all in a'”s't:ite of partial fermen-
iioiiou, He now coniinciiccd feeding it to the
frogs.‘ and they ate with greediiicss. lcnving
oilieir foodfor this. They were evidently as
fond of this kind ofuiush, as ever “Mynlieer"
was of .«'iii1'r-lrrniif.

IUHIS of the first burr:-l,a second was in course
of lieiiig filled, and so nlteriiatcly, till the
stock of leaves was exliaiistcd, which was a-
bout four weeks.
This gentleman gave. his opinion, that he
could l‘.:'l have prepared any other kind of
food for his hogs, known to him, at double
the cxocnse, that would have produced results
so decidedly beneficial. An increase of ap-
petite, improvement in their geiicml appear-

method. The cabbagr-s. he thinks. xvi-re

I Farmer's Cabinet.
Nicitics of Lr1.w.——Iu a late court in En!-
land a cise was brought forward. respecting
the maintainance of a pauper. In the course
ofthe evidence it appeared that the boundary
betweeii the parishes ran across the room in
which the pauper slept.
In refs.-rcncc to this fact, one of the lawyers
said there had been a decision in a some-
what lsimilzir case. which had gone to (‘Il'.I€‘l'-
mine that tlzo parish in which the bed of the
pauper bad bccn placed wnsthe parish wliicb
was bound to maintain the party.
rcniarkerl, it was impossible that the decis-
ion could bc maintained in all cascs where
parishes, for be well recollected an instance
where the bed of the pauper bad usually
stood across the boundary line separatingthe
two parishes, and it turned out that the pau-
hend in one and his feet in the other parish.
In that case the court had held that the parish
in which the head of the pauper was reclined
was bound to support the body. Another

run,-is it was shoiviifroui the head to the heels

on the ground ihit the pa uper's heart which
was conceived to be the most important por-
tion ofthe contents ofthe frame ofa human
being, as well as the most vital part of man,
was usii:-.ll_v on that side. In the present
matter it was proved that. only fifteen inches
of the bed was in St. Giles parish, and as it
became a qiicstion whether a man could
sleep in the space of fifteen inches Wide, a
special case was ordered to be submitted to
the Queen's Bench.
