 HOG LAW.--In the present ordinances, to take effect March 25, is a section providing for the restraining of hogs faom running at large within the city limits. This question entered into the campaign on Monday last to some extent. The convention which met at the Court House on Thursday last resolved energetically in favor of its enforcement until the ordinance could be repealed. The convention did not want it to remain a dead letter on the city statute book.
