New way of Raising PIGS

ME. WM. II. Roy, one of the
most intelligent farmers Of Matthews
county, Virginia, has adopted the
plan of separating the SOW from the
pigs and sucking them at stated
times just as is common with calves.
When the pigs are one day old, it is
very easy to turn the SOW out and
leave the pigs in the pen. The SOW
IS turned in at night and out in the
morning, and also at noon, during
the infancy of the pigs. BY this
plan, they can be the better fed than
when together.
1t is needless to say that the kind
kept by Mr.. Roy are worth taking
this little trouble with. They are
Berkshire and grazier. He says that
both sows and pigs do enough better
to pay for all trouble.
DR.. Mallory, Of Hampton, Vir-
glnia, has a new way of keeping both
pix:s and negroes honest and out Of
mischief. IIc gives each man and
woman two, and each working boy
one pig in the spring Of the year,
and requires them to shut them in
pens, each ones pigs by themselves
and to keep them well furnished with.
materials to make manure. To each
OF these pigs is dealt out q daily ra.
ton of two ears Of corn, until 'roast,
ing ear timc," and the owners are
allowed to feed them all they will eat
until killing time. The pork is then
equally divided between master. ami
servant who sellsFhis part for cash.
The doctor believes tho manure is
worth asmuch asthe corn nd dur.
ing summer: and there Isl auotiier
ad*antas Sc connected With the plan
tho negro is not tempted to steal
corn, perhaps, from the horses, to
feed his pig, and besides, it is contra
ry to oncgro nature to run away and
leave fat pig.

connubia1 Incidents of the Mexican

The editor Of the Lowell Courier
who served in Mexico with credit
both to his sword and his pen, relatcs
some anecdotes Of Il sbrench of the
treaty in Mexico, matrimonially con
sidcred.' He says the officers Of
our army, though they we'll withstood
the bullets and valor Of the Mexican
men, did not defend themselves so
efiectually against the bright eyes
and seductive forms Of tho Mexican
women. Some Of them were mar
ricd to Mexican girls, and some 9TH
ers. it appears, ought to have been.
Some of the Mexican ladies followed
their false lovers to Vera Cruz, cx-
pcctins to be taken to the United
States, and others have pursued even
across the Gulf the men who never
rctrcatcd III war, but who faithlessly
deserted their colors in love. The
Courier says, We have recently heard
OF two very interesting instances of
this character. The one vas that of
a daughter Of Mexican merchant,
who followed her American lover
an officer in the army-tol his home
in the South and finding that he
was on duty iii California, she sent a
relative after him to that distant re.
sion, with complaint that he had
been guilty of a breach Of! promise.
The officer, finding no ether way of
escape, was compelled tos settle the
affair by the payment of several tho,i-
sand dollars--which he 5eou!d well
afford to do. 5z e.
The other instance was#that of a
friend in New England, wkehecamo
attached, after fashion, Span
ish girl in the city Of hhIIesico Since
his return, a Mexican geAtl lslnat has
unexpectedly paid sAaaSa aos StIle

standing or settlement of the matter,
Our fricnd--haying some time since
thrown away his character rs an Off,
Ger in the army-had gonc to Cali,
iornla; and the Mexican plenipotcn-
tlary, upon learning the fact, started
oil in pursuit Of him by the very next
steamer. Il chancc,l, however, that
our military friend was on his return
home, and passed his pursncr on his
route. As he happens TO lave a
wife IN New England, and as the
Spanish lady has 4 husband in Mex.
lco, we can hardly think the case is
one that will render it necessary for
tho Presidents Of the two republics TO
Interfere in the mattcr--so far, at
least, rs that one shall make a rcqui.
s'uon upon the other for the fugitive
from matrmony. The national trca
ty IS likely to stand, notwithstanding
snch an apparent individual breach
of the matrimonial contract.

Legitimate Neapolitan government
This was done by usurpcb and we

llousIHG MANURE.--It is miscra
bic economy to throw manure out into
the open air, and leave it exposed TO
all the variations Of the weather till it
is wanted for use. Some build sheds
over their hovcl windows, to protect
their manure heaps. This is good
improvement, but a manure cellar is
better.

The Farmers Home.

y WHAT place ought more deserved.
~ to be place Of happiness and
peace, than the Farmers Home! 1t
stands, may be, upon the soil consccra-
ted by the labor of his own parents
hands; hallowcd by the recollection of
his own sunny childhood; cndearcd by
the sweet memories Of foti,er days. If
not, tits atleast his home. Itstands
upon hsa 5Yn heritage of.earth's triad
sugsac s.Sa Its doorway opens upon
! iirly 5 ofi waving grain. No
pestilentiai breath Of the city corrup-
ting influences pollutes the free, fresh
air which plays around it. The birds,
near the windows, warble their morn
ing and evening songs, and the setting
sun throws its lingering shadows
through the old trees that stand, Cor
Isssght to stand.) around it. And
when the night time comes, and ST.
icnce takes the place of the busy hum
of industrious hands, labor-brought
sleep folds all within its embrace, un-
til the morning light brings again new
labors and new pleasures. Such is,
OF should be the farmers home.
Love of home is ono Of the strong.
est principles implanted in the mind
by our Creator, and when cultivated,
is productive Of pure and natural en-
joymcnt. The happiness Of the 90
mestic circle has long been celebrated
in poetry and in song. With how
much beauty and truthfulncss, the
home.loving man alone can tell! But
love of home and the domestic circle
is not only productive Of happiness,
but of morality and virtue. This
feeling, existing strong and unbrokcn
in the minds of our children, is one of
the surcst safeguards against vice.
1t is one Of the most powerful ties to
bind them to the pure and true.
Such being the case, ought not every
parent to do all in his power to cher.
ish this feeling in the hearts of his
children? Most certainly, yes! And
how can it be done? BY farmers,
mean, for it is for them particularly
that l am writing.
And first, by way of Illustration,
let me here briefly sketch two pictures.
In the foreground Of the first, you will
behold two,story "shinglc palace" !"

HANGING AMONGST Grows. -
The rookcry in front of the Uxbridgc
Arms Hotel, in this town, was some
time ago the scene Of most extra
ordinary occurrence, which has been
related to us i'll the following manner:
One morning solitary crow vas
observed advancing towards the
place, and three Of the tenants Of the
SAID rookcry sailed forth to meet the
apparent stranger. Tie company
having entered the hallowcd precints
of the rookcry, amidst good deal of
cawlng, and other peculiar noises,
the victlm was pronounced upon. and
n ct omiS borne to tree, where
his neck was firmly fixed between
two branches, and while one Of the
cXccutioncrs stationed himself above,
the others rendered material service
by suspcnding themselves dead
weight to the feet of the unfortunate
culprit. The work was soon accom-.
plishcd, as life in a few moments be-
came totally extinct.
The carcass still remains dangling
in the air, probably to serve as a
warning for others. We are crcdi,
bly, informed that this summary mode
of judicial administration is by no
means anunusnal proceeding amongst
these sagacious birds, several inston
ccs Of the kind having been known to
occur in this identical rookcry. -

The usual Freights from the Port, arc p
Cd. TO 3, Cd. sterling per barrel OF Flour and
Meal to Liverpool, Glasgow and London,
but after the 18th of November they fire.
quently go up higher, owing to the increased
rates of insurance, which a vessel is liable
to after this period. The rates for Grain,
admit of vessels earning more, and are in
proportion TO the rate Of Flour Pot Ashes
are taken at 81 Cd to 3O,Od sterling for dead
weight, when laden with Flour.
AT Quebec, 5000, 10 36,Od sterling per so
feet, is the usual freight for mixed cargoes Of
Square Timber.
Freights TO the Lower Ports have not been
certain, and have been heretofore taken up
by small craft in the fishery trade but from
the fact of our agricultural produce being
made cheaper than yours by TIE removal Of
all preferences in England, and their exclu-
sion from your markets by the 20 90 duty,
we think we are bound TO supply all the
British Provinces hereafter. The freight
last year to New Brunswick was 2,6d New
