Some one has been looking over tho records of tho Legislature of West Virginia, and find that at its last session is passed a law "to prevent owners of hogs from running at large." " Cut this out —it may save your life," is the heading of a patent medicine puff in numerous country papers. A woman who lias cut the paragraph out 293 times is still spared to record her testimonial as to the life-preserv-ing virtues of the effort. Some authors say that one of the uses of adversity is to bring us out. That is true—particularly at the knees and elbows. The great race between a nightmare and a clothes-horse came off last week. The man who entered the mare wasn't wide awake, so the horse took the prize.
