Twenty-four dressed hogs , weighing in
the aggregate 20,451 pounds , reached
this city yesterday , via the Pennsylvania
railroad , from Wrightstown , Burlington
county , N. J. They wore fattened on
the farm of D. Taylor Dovinoy , and were
consigned to Hobo Brothers of No. " ( ! ( >
West Thirty-third street. The largest of
the hogs , dressed ready for the market ,
weighs 1,050 pounds , and the next in
sb'.n is 1,015 pounds. The other weights
are DOS , ! )18 ) , 8t > 5 , 832 , 830,830,817 ,
800 , 87-1 , 810. SCO , 781 , 811 , 727 , 7-13 ,
740 , 735 , 710 , 080 , 7i5 ( and ( SCO. Allow
ing 20 per cant for the waste in dressing
these hogs , the biggest of the lot must
have weighed 1,200 pounds when he was
killed.
The competition in Burlington County ,
N. J. , in hog raising and fattening has
boon increasing year by year , and now
there are many farmers in that region
who devote themselves almost exclusively
to that pursuit. The process of fattening
hogs is to keep them apart in separate
stalls , and to food thorn constantly on
cracked corn and cornmeal balls. They
are never allowed to move out of their
pens , and being fed and watered five or
six times a day have nothing to do but tc
got fat. They are washed and attended
to as carefully as babies , and never by
any chance are called upon to exert them
selves. When a hog weighs abouj
550 pounds his logs begin to wonkon ; ant
when ho roaches GOO pounds ho lies down
and takes lifo easier than over. Ho
never moves except to swallow his food ,
and every mouthful that goes into him
niakea him fatter. It is no exaggeration
to say that the heaviest of the hogs in
this collection of monsters did not stand
up during tbo last six months of their
livi-a. The hogs will bo on exhibition
to-day and to-morrow. Then they will
bo cut up and packed for the markat.
1'ork of Una kind is in great domandjat
hotels and restaurants for larding , but for
ordinary use hogn that are not so abnor
mally fattened are better.
Mr. Davincy is the winner of a gold
medal offered by John Taylor of Trenton -
ton , N. J. , for the heaviest pen of hogn
raised in tlio state. IIo pays ho has n
hog on hand now that will dress next
winter at 1,200 pounds. Ho sold hit

if her negro assailant , to the ell'ect that

Apartment-homo lifo in Now York is a
nodorn method of living , and its peculiar-
tics would surprise the people of other
: itios who have not yet been crowded
nto Huch a way of living. In the first
plncu , it banishes the idea of homo. Aa
in the French language there is no word
significant of homo in its English sense ,
so in the French tint there is no need or
room for such a word 1'ooplo only ojkt
tnd sleep there , and , indued , do not
always oat where they sloop. They occupy
a corner of an immense caravansary ,
] uito as public as a hotel , but cheaper and
less exacting in the matter of perpetual
dressing for moala. They neither know
nor care who may bo living under the
same roof and in contiguous rooms.
Money is the broad certificate of respect
ability which opens thu front doom of the
"palatial apartmont-houso'1 to its
"guests , " and money is omnipotent ,
jleniyuion , gamblers , brokers , grass
\yidows , adventurers of all sorts all may
hid shelter there if they can pay in ad
vance for roomsamlkeop up the payments
iromptly. People who have money and
, vaut to enjoy lito secure apartments in a
'ashionablo qiurtor , board their homes at
a livery , dine at n restaurant , and proceed
, o enjoy lifo without its troubles. Perhaps
.hoy do on joy divesting themselves of the
: ares as well as the comforts of a homo ,
but it is a sad thing for their children , if
they have any. The young people grow
up without the restraints as well as
Lho tender , loving atmosphere of a homo ;
they make all aortn of acquaintances in
the halls and on the stairways of the vast
iiodt that onroofa twenty or thirty fami
lies , and they understand the mysteries
of lifo before their parents roalir.o that
they have fairly outgrown the limits of
the nursery and school. That possibilities
of vice and crime may bo presented to
their eyes is soon in the story of apart-
munt-hfo with which the
- tragedy news
papers have been ringing this week. A
dear is for holo-ln-tho-

or $7,000 a year , according to the style
of the structure and proximity to a fnsh-
ionublo avonuo. The cheapest garret in
one of those fashionable dons will bring
$100 a month and people will pay it
and go half hungry rather than remove
out of society's limit. It is a wretched
sort of lifo f r all concerned , and society
realizes it by finding that the dollar is
an'ghty beyond family lineage , reputation
or brilliancy of intellect.
