puzzled over our delectable razor back.
Now, from what we understand, that
reader wants it plain. We believe that
we can give it to him in such common
English that his youncest relations will
see the point, and we know that he will,
as he has already heard of that carnivor
ous mammal, the procyon lotor, and of
that marsupial omnivorous mammal, the
didelphis Virginiana, yet he may not
have cognizance of that auadruDedal re

the North Sea, remarkable for its large 01" llats Georgia ClieCKS,
size and tremendous length, and com
monly known as the physalusjintiquo-
rum. Jmit when we mention the razor
back's cognate, the ungulate of the fam
ily suidae, we know that your subscriber
will at once recdghize our razor batk as
a probable descendant of the "wild boar
of Ardennes," and whose technical name,
in Use by the savans of our country, is
hog". It is of sidW growth, ill-natured,
and makes its living on the Blue Ridge
mountains independent of corn Or feed.
The time of its first appearance here is
unknown, and ho 6theY hog will succeed
similarly with like treatment. A man in
Texas, who was kept up a tree for a
whole day, by a gang of peccaries, in es
caping from them ran into a herd of irate
razor backs, which he describes as being
of the Swiss cottage, qrder of architec
ture, with hams neither so oily nor so
hard as a pm& knot; Cheops.

you, as the first purchaser of & bull is of
