Hay Racks.

Hay racks, for feeding sheep and, indeed, all
animals, during winter, should be placed in a
vertical position, instead of inclning towards
the animals, which was the original position
assigned them. In the former arrangement
you have perfect security against loss or waste
of food, besides guarding the sheep from the
great inconvenience of having their nccks and
wool ncumbered with seeds and other annoy
ing Substances.
Where there is an inclination oc the racks
towards the animals, these unpleasant results
are wholly unavoidable. THERE'S also another
important evil resulting from this improper
mode of construction. As there is generally
more or less crowding and contention during
feeding times, their breaths ascend directly in
to the mass of fodder-giying it an i'll odor,
and rendering it very unpalatable, and which,
where there are animals affected with disease,
noxious to health Vertical racks, which ad :
nit of the food icing drawn from both sides,
are now much in vogue. and deservedly APP

LATER FROM MEXlco.-The revolt in CHA
pas for the purpose of anneXng that State to
Central America, had been suppressed. The
correspondent. of Ell Monitor says most of the
Governors Of the Mexican States were present
at Queretaro, and that all but one, the Cover
nor of San Luis, were in favor of peace
Their deliberations would soon commence
In the Congress, three propositions had passed
first reading, namely, l. In case of Quere-
taro being invaded, the seat of Government
shall be removed to Aguascalientes. .. The
Government shall not listen to any proposition
for peace, while the invaders remain i'll the ma
tional territory. 3. Government to take meas
ures to carry on the war.
Santa Anna had announced mselfready to
head any force necessary to prevent negotia-
tons for peace.
1t was rumored at Vera Cruz that Santa
Annals adherents in Congress had retired for
the purpose OF preventing quorum. The
Puros were looking to Santa Anna for another
revolution, and expecting the Americans at
Queretaro.
The asrest of Worth, PILLOW and Duncan is
confirmed for the reasons before given; the
original difficulty being letters written to the
United States, and the announcement of Pill
low, that he would appeal from the decision of
Scott.
The revolution was successful in Oajaca, If.
ter fight of five or six hours. New authori-
ties were elected, and Felmury reinstated.-
There has been an emeWe at Guanaju ato, and
we have accounts of the arrest oil two priests
by Governor Arcellano, after twenty-five citi-
zens had been killed and wounded.
In several street rows in the city of Mexico,
one or two American soldiers were killed, and
fourteen MeXicans.

SeleCtiOns for NeWspapers.

Most persons think the selection of suitable
matter for newspaper the easiest part of the
business. How great an error! 1t is by all
means the most difficult. To look over and
over hundreds of exchange papers every week
from which to select enough for one, especially
when the question is not what shall, but what
shall not be selected is indeed "no easy task
If every person who reads a ne Sspaper, could
have edited it, we should hear less complaints.
Not unfrequently it is the case tina: an editor
looks over all his exchanges for something in
teresting, and can absolutely find nothing.
Every paper is dryer than a contribution box 3;
and yet something must be had-his paper
must have something in it, and he does the best
he can. To an editor who has the least care
about what he selects. the writing that he does
is the easiest part of his labor. A paper when
completed should be one that the editor should
he willing to read to his wife, his mother, his
sister, or his daughter and if he does that, If
he gets such paper, he will find his labor a
most difficult one. Every subscriber thinks
the paper is printed for his especial benefit,
and if there is nothing in it that suits h'm 1t
must be stopped, it is good for nothing
Some people look over the deaths and mar
riases, and actually complain of the editor, II
but few people die, or so fortunate as to get
married the previous week. An editor should
have such things in his paper whether they
occur or not. Just as many subscribers as an
editor may have, just so many different tastes
he has to consult. One wants stories and po-
etry; another abhors all this. The politician
wants nothing but politics. One must have
something sound. One likes anecdotes, fun
and frolic, and a next door neighbor wonders
that man of sense will put such stuff in his
paper. Something spicy comes ont, and the
editor is blackguard, Next comes some
thing argumentative, and the editor is a dull
fool And so between them all, you see the
poor fellow gets roughly handled. And yet,
to ninety. nine out of hundred these things
never occur. They never reflect that what
does not please them, may please the next
man, but they insist that if the paper does.not
suit them, it is good fog nothing.

The Bath Marine Bible Society.

Perhaps it is not generally known that this
Society has depository at the store of NJ. T.
Gannett, where there are a large number of
Bibles on hand
1t seems as though some active measure
should be taken to distribute these among the
numerous crews that are constantly fitting out
here and in this vicinity. However important
it may be to give the Bible to men in foreign
lands, we ought not to forget those at our own
doors, our own countrymen and brethren,
those to whom we owe so much for if the
Bible is valuable and needful for any one it is
so to the sailor. If consolation in scenes OF
trial and affection can be drawn from it, as
every one but the intidel will allow, then it is
doubly valuable to the sailor who is SO often
called to pass through such scenes.

MURDER OF Mr.. LowRIE.-The Rev. WAL
ter NJ. Lowrie, an American missionary at
Ningpo, gentleman of eminent attainments,
has been cruelty murdered in the Chinese seas
by pirates. The Reverend gentleman took his
passage in Chinese boat from Shangha to
Ningpo, and during the voyage was attacked
by piratical vessel. AT first, it would ap-
pear, that the pirates only meditated robbery.
but fearing that Mr.. Lowrie might bring them
to justice, they resolved to throw him over
board. Two of the ruffians seized him for
that purpose, but mol being able to accomplish
it, third joined in the murderons attack, and
they succeeded in throwing him into the sea.
As the waves ran high, though he was seen
two or three times, he soon sank to rise no
more. Mr.. Sullivan, the English consul at
Niugpo proffered every aid his official station
enabled him to render, and steps were being
taken to recover the remains if possible.

MARRIAGE CUsToMs IN SwEDEN.-When
yonng girl is to be married she dresses
herself in all her bridal garments, and pla-
ces herself in the middle of the parlor,
standing. A circle of bright lights are pla-
ced about her, and the groomsmen also
come into the room bearing each a brilliant
ly lighted chandelier. The doors and win
doWs are then thrown open, and every one
who chooses can come and see and criti-
else the bride as they please. Impudent
fellows will walk about her, and besides
crtlclslng her appearance, which they do
within her hearing, they will use some such
expressions as, 'well so and so is to be
married at last; she has been long enough
about 1t. pity the man who marreis her."
&c. Females, too, will appear about her
IN masks, and make still more cutting and
insulting remarks. After standing thus for
an hour and half, the ordeal is ended, the
throng is dispersed, and the wedding takes
place in the presence of the immediate
friends of the parties. After dinner par
ty, the guests approach the hostess, who
stands in the middle of the room, and each
returns thanks. This beautiful custom pre-
walls even a9ong the simple peasant fami-
lies. After the meal is over the children
approach their mother, and, ia ing her by
the hand, say, thank you, mamma" The
guest if one there bc,merely says, thanks"
