To avoid the diabeutties and dangers in cident to a landing at Port Jefferson, the period directors have determined to hold ‘the annual school plani Ih Casey's grove, Mound City,on Friday, the 1204 bhet. Cole Taylor has kindly pisced two large deck barges at the dispoint of the dire tors, and these barges will be closely lashed together, properly decorated and furnished with seats, and pushed to Mound City by the tug Montauk.

At the head of the column of hog freers, marches Alderman Winter, his plume of hog bristles waving in the ‘breeze, while his musical volew grunt ingly encourages his follower to hold out to the last, ‘The distine guished Alderman must permit us to con gratulate him.

So well is this fact known, when~ aver = porker gets into trouble he «invariably opposie to Mr. ‘Winter, and all great hogs rise up to do him honor.

Those who do not know what an Herbarium I can ascertain by calling on Mr. James Barclay, who treate it with the utmost consideration. It is not dan gerous, and Mr. Barclay insures us that it has never been known to injure a human being. This appears strange, in the light of the fact that it must be kept in a glass cage. Orr ron Suawsertown.—Mr. Joel G. Morgen left yesterday for Shawnee town, where he proposes to establish a Democratic journal. Mr. Morgan has a host of acquaintances and friends in the Democratic party of Egypt, and is known to have had considerable experience in the newspaper business, and therefore we hope he will receive sufficient patronage to make his new enterprise profitable.
