A Pertinent Paragraph about Pork- Edit >it Herald:—l noticed in a late number of your paper a selected article on the dressing of hogs. The idea is all right as far as keeping the meat from becoming tainted or sour ed is concerned, but bogs could not well be handled by shippers after having been split into halves along the backbone. I will here add that more hogs sour on account of the tongues and gullets being left in them than from almost any other causes whatever. Hogs shipped to Eastern markets without having these things removed are invariably counted 10 to 15 short It is surprising that buy ers here do not make a difference in hogs dressed in this manner and those properly dressed. Tbo season for dressed pork having just opened, 1 would suggest to farmers and pork dressers generally, that this matter be attended to in every instance. The subject will be agitated and look ed to by purchasers this year more than it has been heretofore. It is certainly an item of interest to every shipper. 1 personally know of sev eral hundred pounds of pork souring at this station on different warm days last winter, and all caused by the non-romoval of tongues und gulleU Tom. Bowcobel, Nov. 27. Important Announcement. 7<> my Customers and the Public in general: On ami after December 1, '7l, prices on all goods sold by me will be re duced to the lowest Cash Basis. This will enable me to offer groat bargains in reudyMnade clothing, dress-goods, silks, poplins, etc., —white goods, shawls, laces, and, in fact, all articles usually found in a tirstclass drygoods establishment. Having determined to do business on a strictly cash principle on and after Januury Ist, 1872, it is hereby announced that no more credit will be given at my store from that time forward. Farm produce of every kind taken in exchange for goobs. Bring your pork, grain, butter etc., and 1 will allow you therefor the highest rates this market affords, giving in payment goods at the low est cash figures. All persons knowing themselves indebted to me are luspectfully in formed that they must settle all dues between this date and the first day of January next. Hoping that my new business de parture will meet with general ap proval, und confident that the cash system will prove a blessing to cus tomers as well as merchant, I hereby return thunks for the flattering pat ronage of the past, and respectfully solicit a continuation of the same under the new regime, Anton Schmitt. Lan< aMter, Nov- 28, 1871. 20w4 L. L. A.—The regular annual meeting of the Lancaster Library Association was held at Barber Clemcntson's office last evening.

The sentence is just, and will be approved of by all our citizens. Stephens is one of the boldest cutthroats that ever inhabit ed a jail. He has already served two years in the ponetentiary from Grant county, where he was convicted of burglary some three or four years ago.” D. P. M. R. 11. Survey.—The sur vey of this route from Dubuque to Platteville was completed by Chief Engineer Morgan Evarts on Thurs day of last week. The survey line commences at Eagle Point, running up the Mississippi to the mouth of Platte, thence up the valley to the forks of Platte, and along the Little Platte to Block House Branch and thence to Platteville. Chief Engineer Evarts and party are now surveying a route from the eastern terminus of the Mineral Point road to Monroe, which they expect to reach before Christmas day. X#' A new and praiseworthy move has just been made by the Germans of this town. They have organized an association the object of which is musical and vocal culture as well as general advancement and mutual good feeling on the part ot the mem bers. The organization is called “Ilarmonia." Mr. A. Schmitt is President, Mr. J. Nathan Treasurer, and Prof A. Michaelis Musical Di rector. Seini-weekly meetings are to be held in one of the rooms over the Herald office. t«ult is rumored that the Grand Dulce Alexis comes to this country on an important and, of course, deli cate diplomatic mission.

Every Saturday.—With the close of the present year, this sterling periodical will cease to he an illus trated newspaper. After that time, it will be published in the original form and character which won for it during a period of four years such universal support and favor. We regret that we have this fact to chron icle, for Every Saturday as a pictorial paper had merits not found in any of its cotemporaries. Teachers Wanted.—A male teach er is wanted in the Rockville district; and a lady will find employment for three months, beginning Dec. Ist, in what is known as the “German Dis trict," town of Woodman. Address, stating terms, Daniel Freeman, Clerk Joint Dist. No 4, Woodman, Wis. Petty Larceny.—Btr.j.

To my customers I wish to say a few words. Having served in this communit}’ for over 20 years, my gains are far inadequate to my ef forts, while many suppose I have acquired a competency sufficient to retire, they have and do act on that idea, by letting a small account lie unsettled a long time, compelling me to hire just the amount due from them to meet my bills, or compel me to trespass upon my creditors, very much impairing my own cred it. The mildest language that can be applied is, Tts not bight. A farmer has no right to hold for speculation (or what he tries to think right,) for bigger prices. A merchant in this village told a farmer to sell his (the merchant’s) part of that grain immediately. That’s the ide'. Sell so much as will pay what is due yo i mechanic or merchant, fcc.; then if anything is left hold it as long as you please, instead of saying, “I have no money,” when asked by your mechanic and compel him to hire money for you. Hereafter when you come for work at my shop, sty how long you want credit, and when that time comes, pay. The profits are consumed in loss of use ot the money; then we workfor nothing. ro mediate payment will be demanded if this is not adopted. D. H.
