Using up the Whole Hog ! In prooi' of progress of the arts through the whole extentofthis country, we exíract tlie fu'lowir.g from a Cincinnati paper : "We saw yesterday at the Drug and Chemical establishment of George H. Bates &Co. a cry.stalized pyramld of Prussiate of Polash that can be considered in no other light than a scientific, mechanical, Cincinnali curiosily. It is two and a half feet in height nnd eight and a half inches in diameter, with a base of fifteen inches, weighing one liundred poijnds. Il r.'ses in rough, irregular layers each layer haviiig the nvst perfect and finished eHgo imaginable. Nosculptor or ariist with keenest loolscould make finer work. The color is a beautiful orange. Tliis article of commerce is made extensively by e gentlemen atid e.oned enst for the use of dyers anri others. II may ba cuiious and instruclive to the reader to knuw that Prussinle ol' Pütash is mode of potash, old slioe?, hoofs of cat'le, woolen rags and all refuse animal maltei'. But the mn in lliing usrd by tliem is the reluse of the Imgs killed in this vicinity, z ■ the hoofs, hair. blood and cracklings or scrnps of lanl, so thore is nothing lefi of the liog afier he passes the hands ofour population."
