A Hog Living Einght Weeks Without Food.

YY"e learn that a farmer of Franklin county, Ind., missed one of his fat hogs some time ago, and searched the whole neighborhood without finding it. At tiie expiration of eight weeks, less two days, he found the hog in a Ii dlo-.v log, not far from his house, where it had evidently been all the time, without food or water. Having crawled into the log, it was unable to get out, and there it had to remain. Strange to say, the animal was alive; it could not move, and only uttered a feeble grunt when taken hold of and pulled cut of the log. The farmer conveyed it to his house, caused it to be fed on slops—eat corn it couldn't for want of strength—and it now bid 3 fair to be a respectable porker in the course, of time. Some of out readers may be disposed to consider this a hard story, but we are assured on good authority that it is true.— Connersmile Times.
