Last fall Mr. Chris Baup living near Turbiilvllle, Pa., threshed some wheat for planting, nnd built a stuck of the straw In the yard. About this time u young pig was missed by Mr. Itaup. Search was made high nnd low, but no hog could be found, and It tliuilly was given up ns either lost or stolen. Nothing developed in the case until n shoit lime ngo, when some children, who were playing around the stack, saw the living skeleton of n hog crawl out of the straw. The brute was lit- orally nothing but skin nnd bone, nnd wns so ravenous and hungry that It ran for the children at once, nnd would have made meal of them had it caught them. The hog was entombed In its strange prison just sixty-six days. It went into tho stack in the fall a oung pig nnd came out with the frame of a full grown porker, but so poor that It hardly bears nny bemblnnce of Its former shape. It Is being cured for.

The Com- miesioticra think Itliat tho prisoners can bo kept nt the old Jail with less expense than they can nt new jail, nnd that the new jail should be condemned." It Is n lamentable fact that the new jail was built on ground to gratify a few sel fish and designing Indlyldiials, In n bung ling, careless and fraudulent manner.
