Mr. Hog-feeder, is that McKeover's dwelling?" "Yes sir," replied tho hog-feeder. "Are you his overseer?" "No, sir." "What the devil do you do then?" "Oh, feed hogs, and do other little things about the fatm." "Well, Mr.

Hog-fi-cder, old McKeevcr has some dain'd fine-looking daughters, hasn't he?" Yes, they arc tolerable fine-looking gals." "They would like to marry, too, wouldn't they?" "Don't know, but expect they would if they had a good chance?" 'J-'hey can get me; dorr't you think I'd be a good 'A good chance! chance?" "Well, they might think so--go and'try them." "Darn'd if I don't, too; good evening Mr. llog-f feeder." Kinson then rode up to the gate and alightedr Seeing the old lady in the piazza with her daughters, he thus addressed her: "Good evening, madam. It is getting late, and I should like to have permission to shy all night with you." lie was informed that he coul-1 do so, and he very gladly took seat till the old gentlemen should come in, as she informed him that he would soon. Ho had not been seated but a few moments when the old hog-feeder came along looking after the things, and finally came in and sat down. The old man began to make himself perfectly at home with the females.

Kinson was astonished at what he considered the hog- feeder's insolence' but this astonishment was much increased when he heard one of the young ladies call him "Pa!" Just as he heard the hog-feeder affectionately called "pa," the boy was about to take hib horse, and he involuntarily said. "Boy, don't take that horse, I think I will ride on if it is late-- good evening to all." "Oh, stay all night," said the hog-feeder, "don't be in a hurry." "Thank you, sir, I must go," mumbled Kinson, and soon he was riding away from the mansion of McKecvcr, cursing all rich men who did not have the ways of rid) men, with marriageable daughters. Mr. Hccnaii un "Cards." The pugilist called a few days since tit the office of the New York Herald to correct a statement with regard to him. One of the reporters suggested that he should write a note making tho correction, for publication.

Mr. Tlcenan replied: "Oh, no; I am tired of these cards. I have many curds lately as James Buchanan, and I don't want to write any more. I am as public a character now as James Buchanan, and I don't like it." THE amount of salt manufactured at Syracuse, New York, is seven millions of bushels, yearly.
