How Much the Hog Weighed Joke Goes Round Station Car
A bluff farmer in a railway car tries to sit beside a finely dressed man and chats about a hog’s weight. The humorous exchange ends with the farmer saying the hog wasn’t much of a hog and weighing little. Also told is a tale of a wealthy New York German who rents a horse and sleigh and refunds the money, claiming he drove his own team. A health note from a Watchman and Reflector correspondent reports only three of 84 foreign missionaries died since July 1805, with Burmah showing the same 17 year record.
