RumOred Settlement of the Nicaragua Question.


A correspondent Of the New York Her
aid says. that the Nicaragua question be-
tween England and the United States Is so
i.ear 4 settlement, that it may be considered
as out Of the..pale of troublesome questions
between two countries. He says that des-
Patches were received by The department
OF state, by the steamship before the last,
from Mr.. Lawrence the American minister
to London, q they cover letter from Lord
PalmerSton. dated about the end of Octo-
ber, or the beginning Of November last,
IN which the most conciiatory position is
taken, IN reference TO the whole matter IN
dispute between The two governments
Mr.. Rives addressed Lord Palmerstcn
on the subject whilst in London, and the
! Hon. Abbot Lawrence arriving soon af-
ter, received the reply of Lord Palmerston
| TO those Inquiries. expressing to the
American government that the British
government only wished to aid and assist IN
constructing routes across those central
regions to connect the two oceans. agree-
ing, at the same time, in the principle of
placing all such routes in neutral and
independent position, under the protec-
tloa and guaranty Of England and the
United States; and tha: they should al
ways, be open to the whole commercial
world on equal terms and tolls.
Lord PaImenson also initiated, that
several OF those central South American
states had offered to cede territory to the
British government, which was invariably
declined; and that it would be more to the
interest of the commercial world, if the
American government woud adopt the
same policy, and unite with the British
government in securing to each of those
territories, its own rights, under guaranty
of England and the United States.
1t is said that the new English minis

A country merchant having hired a
clerk, walked him up the next morning
after he was hired, at most unseasonably
early hour, by calling out ,hat the family
were sitting down to the table 'Thank
you,' said the boy, as he turned over in
bed to adjust himself for new nap
"thank you, but never allow myself to
eat anything during the night!'

The Queen Beet is well known by
apiarians, that bees will not swarm with
out queen goes with the new colony
In order to prevent swarms going to the
woods, some experienced bee keepers
watch for the queen, and when she comes
out of the hive, cut one of her wings,
which prevents her from flying. The bees
will generally make .spitch'' near the
hive, when the queen may be secured, and
with the young swarm, placed in new
hive.

Keen Good Animals.

Poor animals are moth to the farmer
There are more serious detriment to him
than rust, or blight, or mildew. A poor
COW, that yields but trife of milk, and
looks like the lean kline of the Egyptian
king, costssmore, per annum, than good
one that will yield her ten or twenty quarts
of milk daily, and keep herself in plight
for the shambles while doing il. Some of
the fine cows, kept in the States of Massa-
chusetts, New York and Pennsylvania.
cost their owners less any year, than the
rough skinned, scraggy limbed skeletons
of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. 1t
is good policy to buy the best of animals
only, in selecting dairy stock By obtain
ing good animals, and carefully regulating
the process of breeding, aided by careful
attention, one may secure great profits
and at small expense.

Preaching. amusing specimen OF
"individuality" in language was lately
mentioned to us by friend. A man in
an eastern city, somewhat noted for wrest-
ling, sparring and other physical feats,
having been persuaded to enter church
on the Sabbath, and ''sit OUT a long doc
trinal discourse, was asked, on retiring af-
ter the service, what he thought of the SER
mon. "Think?" said he, "why if |
couldn't preach a better sermon than that
NTH one hand tied behind me, you can
take my hat!"-Knicker6ocker.
