Uncle Dick and Lisa's Old Time Animal Tales

The Noblesville Patriot gives as amusing account of the destruction of $500 worth of liquors by the Temperance people. Some 70 barrels and kegs were consumed. The Dayton Ale would not burn of course, and the Patriot says:
The next morning droves of hogs licked the foam of beer, drank the half frozen spirits and soon Mr. Porker began to hang his head and lop his ears, swinging head towards tail and tail towards head, showing the whites of his eyes, and opening his mouth as if things didn’t feel right in his internal arrangements. They soon took a line for the river, but occupying all sides of the street-in imitation of his more noble companion, the biped. Didn’t catch them at it the second time. They were seen for days after standing sullenly beside a fence, looking as if the Maine Law was in operation.
