L Simmonds, in the trans- notions of the Highland Society, gives some interesting statistics of the number of swine raised in various countries, as nearly as can be ascertained {n the United States there are believed to be 50,000,000, or more than in all the States of Europe cowbined. In Great Britain, the number is estimated at 2.000 000, of which Ireland haa a large proportion, and Scotland nearly 200,000. Austria has about 5,600,000 swine, and Austrian-Italy 250,000. France has from 5,000,000 to 6,000,000. Rus- sia has an immense number of wild hogs, bat they are mere skin und bone, valuable prin- cipally for their bristles. Portiaxn.—There is no city in the Union, of so much public spirit, considering its means, as Portland, Maine.

If it were not for something to attach the fringe tu, the robe itself might be omitted without inconvenicnce. He says also that a young lady in New York vity has adorned a single dress with seven Randred and fifty yards of rebbon! “Let tHe Peorie Pant Corn.’’—This fa- mous sentiment was uttered by Gen. Sam Houston after the decisive battle of San Ja- cinto, when the Mexican authority was routed from Texas. We observe with pleasure that Prints in different parts of the country an- nounce that more attention is to be paid to farming this year than formerly, and that fruits. cereals, grain and corn, are to receive the attention which their product demands > During the late cold weather, nearly all the mills in Albemarle, had to stop grind- ing, on account of the ice.
