Farmer Gets Small Fortune For One Shipment of Hogs.

John W. Wright, a farmer of Sugar Creek township,' Clinton county, had the honor, and we suppose the pleasure also, of shipping to the Indianapolis stock yards the largest number of hogs that ever sold as high as $11.30 a hundred pounds. There were 391 hogs in the drove, their average weight was 253 pounds, their total weight 99,150 pounds, and the check he received from the buyers was for $11,203.95.
