DRAGGING

Is not always and altogether to be laughed at ;
though sometimes it must be confessed that the fat
hog, the big OK, the thrifty COW is really the one
to brag rather than the owner For instance
Mr. Ritters two cows gave an extra amount or quail
ty of milk and Mr. r. did not give them extra
feed. Who shall say that the cotcs have not the
better right to brag? But Mr. r. has right to
congratulate himself his good luck and to speak
well Of his cows; others may be stimulated to see
what their cows do, and to improve their stock
until they can do as we'll as any stock. This is
the advantage Of Dragging and we wish there were
more of it. If any farmer has any thing extraor-
binary in the way Of animals or crops let him tell
it to his neighbors and to the public, and tell the
,cly and The mherytore.

COMMUNICATED.

The modest Editor of the Waterman has told us
recently what he would have done had he been
Governor as to the Geological Survey of the State
He would, it seems, have appointed DR.. Jackson,
who was State Geologist Of New Hampshire. On
our side Of the mountain we should have preferred
Mr.. Mather, State Geoogist of New York, and al
so of OHIO. Dr. Jackson wrote a short itinerary of
moonlight survey of Vermont, which describes
certain rock formation as extending across the
State, which in our time is only found on this side
of the Green Mountain summit Gaidry
AT tie risk of having our modesty questioned,
we must express our qualification that Gov. Slode
sided with as, in first prefering Dr. Jackson, in
stead of with the anonymous tive" on the other
side of the mountain. Nay more,-it seems his
eXceency did not even give his second choice to
the favorite of this Mddebury gentleman: for
which, however, we are sorry. Any experienced
Geologist would have been better than new man.

REVOLUTION IN MEXICO GEN. PARE.
DIES AT THE HEAD.

Late and important intelligence from Novice bos
been received at New Orleans.
The rumors which have been for some weelss in
circulation that Gen Paroles had at last declared
against the Government. appear nj longtb Iilolv 70
be verified by the course he is now p1rsuino. A
revolution is now on foot or has already been con-
summated.
The revolution in progress commenced with the
" Army of Rescryen stationed at San Luis Potosi
The agitation and fement preliminary to an out
break probably gave occasion to the rumor which
was in circulation at Vera Cruz on the list Dec
when the British steamer lefl for Havana II was
fortnight after that, that things reached crisis
On the 18th Dee the conlmandant General of the
department, Don Manuel Romero. invited TO his
residence at San Iuis potosi the snno,or and 9th
er officers of the Army of the Reserve ne vol ne
of the garrison of the department. Beino tbore
assembled. Don Romero read TO them a manifesto
prepared for the occasion. in which the dnties Of
the armed force of the country are pointed ont and
political evils assigned for the act they are ebout
to commit; which act is no less than torcible
change in the administration of the country. Tho
principal reason is the hesitancv of the ;rovern
ment in proceeding in a war for the recovery of
Texas.
The Army names Gen Paroles FORTS chief: and
its doinos we're fully approved by the Governora and
Assembly of the department of San Luis Potosi ON

LATER FROM EUROPE.

The news Is OF great importance, as exhibiting
the feeling in England, relative to the opening of
the ports, and negotiating commercial treaty with
the United States
Tho declaration of the London Times of the
4th ult, that the English Cabinet had agreed upon
the opening of the ports, and upon several other
important measures, created tremendous sensa-
ton throughout England and France. Its effect in
London was like throwing bomb-shell in the very
midst Of the bankers and politicians.
1t appears however, that the statements of the
Times are doubted, contradicted, and abused by
the Standard the organ of the Government, the
Herald also the organ, and several others. But the
Times adheres to its original statement and the
Ministry were waverlng as to the best course to
take to produce the necessary result, namely, the
opening the ports which had been determined upon.
According 10 the extracts from the principle En-
gsh journals, we are led to believe that the Times
based their statements on good authority at the
start, and as the early meeting of Parliament is not
absolutely contradicted by the Standard, it is fair
to suppose that that body are now in session, and
that the whole question has been thrown into Par
Lament by the Ministry, to be decided as they and
the people think best. In this way the Ministry
will probably attempt to escape any responsibility.
The excitement which the announcement OF the
Times produced in every circle, however, was the
means of letting out what is probably fact, that
NEGOTIATIONS had been begun in London for COM
merclal treaty between England and the United
States and il was supposed that the announce.
ment of the Times was originally based on this.
This supposlton Implicated the American Min
lister in the original statement Of the Times, and
the Secretary to the American Legation felt con-
strained to publish a card, exonerating Mr. McIIane
from any connection with the publication

As compared with 1913, here is an increase of
4,s02,63l lbs. of domestic wool, and 203lG940 of
foreign total increase 25,1l0,57l lbs. Compared
with 1914 there is decrease of 2,3l0,3l9 lbs. of
domestic, and an increase of 9,S24G32 lbs nett
increase 7,505263 lbs. From this should be de-
Quoted small quantity exported still leaving prob
ably an increase for the last year oflsix or seven
millions Of pounds. We doubt whether 1916 will
exhibit any increase at all. Tho almost universal
drought and consequent shortnessof grass through
out the country has thinned the sheep focks. In
this town ten thousand sheep were slaughtered last
autumn gathered from hocks throughout the coun-
ty and vicinity. TO some extent doubtless land

tural pursuits, and proper attention to all suited to

From Nerico. The L. S. ship st. Mary's, com
mander Saunuers, arrived at Pensacola on the %
inst, from Vera Cruz, in passage Of 10 days, hay
ing on board dispatches for the government.
A letter in the Mobile Register dated at Pensa-
cola, on the 3D. instant, says:
Up to the time write no one from shore had
boarded her but several had come ashore from her
Those who came from her report land the report is
credited) that our Minister was badly received by
the Mexican government, and was in fact nsulted.
Another version Of the story is that he was not
received and recognised as such at all Both re-
ports, however, resolve themselves pretty much In
the same thing.
This statement has created no little excitement
here, and if true, rs have but little doubt one or
the other is. it Is presumed that the entire Gulf
squadron will shortly appear before Vera Cruz.
It is believed here that this is another fruit of
British intrigue ana British diploma. lfso, it doubt
less looks to "A declaration of war by that govern
ment against us.
The Mobile Advertiser on the authority of the
Pensacola Gazette Of the 3D., says that Mr.. Slidel
on his arrival was notified that he would not be re-
ceived as minister from the United States.
He has not returned, nor do we undertake to say,
says the Gazette, or to vouch for the correctness Of
the news; but we are disposed to credit 1t on &C
count Of cur critical relations with Great Britain
circumstance of which Mexico would not hesitate
to take advantage.
Since the above was in type, we have received the
N. Y. Tribune, which contains the following more
definite statement in a letter from Pensacola. The
Union ofthe 18th says that no message or despatch
es from Mexico have yet arrived at Washington.
PENSACOLA, Fla, Jan. 3, l946,-* On Ian
ding at Vera Cruz Mr. Slldell, was received with Il
salute of the usual number of guns, and all due
courtesies were extended to him in that city and in

indeed he had not been officially received by the
President

Mr. Kennedy, first lieutenant of the II. Mary's,

sents affairs as having serious aspect. He says
reyolusion is daily expected as know 1t has been
