Costume on the I.thmus.

Godeys Ladys Book is FULFILLING the Costumes
of all Nations" Among those which have not been
noticed by Cooley, is the following which we find
thus described by San Francisco correspondent of
the Union. Speaking of the natives of New Grenada,
he says " If any lady, intending to visit California
should see this letter. advise her first to make up
her mind to regard the natives of New Grenada as
she would many wild beasts; to be offended at
nothing belonging to their peculiar manners-for
she will find them to present rude picture of Adam
and Eve, with their fig leaves only the fig leaves left
out.

Fatted Stock, Hay, etc.

Messrs. THOMAS and WILLIAM ASHFORD, of Samp-
county, sold in this market few days since, 1S
head of stall fatted beeves at Sc so per 100 lbs.
nett receiving an aggregate amount of $547 So, or
average Of $50 AZ per head We mention this
sale particularly, for the purpose of calling attention
to fact which does not seem to be generally under
slood; that the Wilmington market affords better
prices for such articles well fatted beef pork,
lamb, and mutton, than any other market in the
State, or, perhaps in the Southern country If our
farmers would only devote little more attention to
ths raising and fttening of beef cattle and other
stock, taking care that it shall not be brought to
market until it has arrived at proper state there
need scarcely be any trouble in obtaining
ting prices. Perhaps it might be an inducement to
to visit this market, to state the further fact
that they can obtain any article in the grocery line,
such coffee, sugar, molasses and salt in fact such
articles as the farmer wants in exchange for his pro-
duce, cheaper than in any other place in the Union.
There is another branch of industry to which our
people might we think, turn their attention, with
profit to themselves and advantage to the State We
ailude to the raising of hay, large quantity of
which is imported from the North, and large a.
mount of money sent back in exchange. We notice,
from review Of the markets, sale at auction by
Messrs. MARTIN & CRoNLY, ON Tuesday last of %
bales of N. c. Hay, made by Mr.. BEATTY in Bladen
county, at 81 to 81 Ola per 100 lbs, while good
quality of Northern Hay was selling in the market
at 80 cents per 100 lbs % bales of Sheaf Oats put
up by the same gentleman were also sold at so cents
per 100 lbs This fact proves, think, conclusive
IT, that good if not better Hay be raised here
than at the North.
SMALL;Pox-Therc has been no new case of this
disease since last issue, and informed by
Mr. Dawson, Magistrate of Police, that there is not
case now in town, and that the disease has ceased
to exist. We hope that our country friends will no
longer be deferred from visiting town. for fear of
king the disease.

been reduced, during the spring and summer of the
last year, to four who has each very long line to
superintend but has not resulted in any nconven
fence delay to the contractors and the number will
not be increased until imperatively demanded by a
large increase of work the line rendering it
cessary.
You will perceive by the statements of the Eng-
neer, estimates submitted which are necessary for
the completion of the Road to Sumpterville to the
point east of Lynchs Creek and to the end of forty
miles from the Camden Branch of the South Carroll
ma Railroad respectively. It is proper, in the opn
ion of the Board to provide money for the work yet
to be done, betwixt Sumpterville and the Camden
Branch especially. and prudence would dictate that
it is the safest reliance the whole forty miles. To
meet this expenditure at least $4,000 balance in
the hands of the Treasurer may be relied upon
From payments instruments it may be safely as
sumed that from eight to ten thousand dollars more
can be realized on the line west of the Pee Dee river
This will leave deficiency to be provided for in mo-
ney if the work is pushed forward it is desirable
to do.
But experience renders it improper to rely with
any confidence on the payment of instalments in
cash on stock as so much of it is taken in contracts
by the stockholders and Others that it is difficult to
tell who will pay up in full and who will not. All
have the privilege of working out their stock, and
some after they commence paying in money
make arrangements to have the balance worked out
rendering it utterly impossible to approximate ar
estimate of receipts from these quarters. The est
mates made last year were that S25, 900 would b.
received in money, and they thought reasona
ble but it has turned out that only S15,037 As wa
in fact received.

Dina is already contracted to be paid for in work

Christian religion or none-but say the
Christian religion. The world is too Tar
advanced now TO attempt to get along
in States and republics without any re-
ligion, and Christianity has shed so ma
ny blessings on our land, is so interwo-
ven with all our habits of thinking and
our laws and literature, and is moreover
so certainly the religion which merciiul
heaven has appointed for fallen world,
as to make it certain that that IS to be
ever onward the religion of Our nation.
But this religion, in order to produce It's
hes; effects, should reign ia lis great ca
tholic principles, rather than IN scciarl-
an forms or, in other words, Christian
iy in its essential nature, and It's gener-
al influence, should he primary. There
will be secis and there are many not
undesirable effects which spring out Of
the division of the one great Christian
family into different branches but the
love of sect should be restrained the
attachment, for. the denominations should
always be subordinate to the love of the
great brotherhood, and the readiness To
propagate Christianity, as such, should
always be superior TO the desire to pro-
pagate the pecularites of the denomi-
nation, Now this, we think, will be
promoted in an eminent degree all over
the land by that early study Of the BIZ
BILE by all our children and youth.
1t is difficult to make a mere sectari-
ana bigoted lover of the denomna-
ton, out of the mere study of the Bible /;
and when trained in the knowledge Of
that book, children will learn Chrlstiani-
ty first, and then, if ever, sectarianism
aud party will be to be learned as sec
oadory matter. For after all the efforts
which YOU can make, it is exceedingly
difficult TO show to a child how the pc
culiartles which separate the different
evangelical denominations of Christians
from each other, grew out of the Bible,
or are sustained by the Bible. The Gre
alton of the denomlnnlonal and sectaran
feeling is usually the growth of more
advanced years, and Is commonly TO be
traced 10 other causes than the study OF
the word of God Children, in reading
the Bible, see little ground there for the
distinctions which have sprung up i'll
the Christian world, and none for the
amnesty of feeling, the bitterness O.
contention, the spirit of exCluslvCness
and the fierceness of mutual denuncla-
ton which have too often characterized
the different sects of Christians in thci
contentious with each other. Aud if the
rising generation learn these things, ano
become lmbued with this spirit It mus
be from some other cause than the STU
dy of the New Testament. The tend
cncy OF the effort to teach the Bible Il
the young, and of the diffusion of lhos,
forms OF Christian literature which grow
out of that effort is to soften the acer
bites of party strife, TO dliluse the spin
of Christian charity, TO render less prom
lnent the differences which divide on
evangelical denomination from another
land so smooth down these mountains o
difference to plains.

Winter Management Of Fowls.

To cause hens to lay in winter, lurn-
ish them with n warm, dry shelter, in !
good locaiioa where they can be free
from cold winds, and empty good share
of sunshine. The hen-house should be |
kept clean, and all filth from remains of
food should be carefully removed. There
should be a good supply of gravel,
which ought TO be renewed occasionally
or dug over so as to furnish u fresh lot
often.
Hens should have a constant supply
of pure waler, aud pure wholesome food.
They are fond of corn, wheat, barley,
oats, buckwheat, rye, rice, millef, boil
ed potatoes, and various other kinds OF
food. Generally the cheapest grain may
be used as their food but it is better to
supply them with several kinds. They
are very fond of corn, and they flourish
well with this as their principal food.-
Boiled potatoes, mashed up while hot,
with meal of almost any kind of grain,
or with wheat bran or shorts, and given
warm, are an excellent food in cold
weather, and greatly promotes laying
Changes in food are advantageous.
Hens prefer variety, as well as non-leath-
cred bipeds,
In winter, and in summer, when CON
fined to small yards, hens should have
a small supply of animal food. Refuse
meat or fish may be gwen, cooked or
raw. Scraps are often obtained for this
purpose from lallow dealers; but this is
not SO acceptable To hens as fresh meat
or fish, which may be obtained at a
cheaper rate, or gratis, from the fish
market or butcher Fresh unburnt bones,
pounded or chopped fine, are excellent,
as lhey supply both animal food and
lime.
Hens need various condiments, such
as lime, chalk, or pounded bone and
oyster shells. Egg shells are also good
Lime may be given in old MORTAR
They must have some material TO form
egg shells, when they cannot have ac-
cess 10 the ground, even If they have IA
supply of gravel. They should also have,
occasionally, some green cabbages, or
raw lurnips, potatoes or apples, cut in
large slices, and they will peck and eat
what they want.
Though hens should be kept warm
m winter, they should not be crowded
together in large lots without ventilation.
as they will be liable TO disease from i'm
pure air. in mild weather when the
ground is bare, they should 90 out IN
the sun, In feeding boiled potatoes and
other warm food TO hens, il should be
gwen early IN the morning, aud the
grain should be covered up at night,
else they will I'll themselves with that
T before they get warm breakfast. Give
dry loan or ashes, to roll in.
} With good management, generally in
accordance with what we have recon-
mended, hens will lay in winter if the,
are of good breeds, and not TOO old, aud
are in "A healthy condition. If they do
not lay, with much care and atten-
lion give them very liule cayenne in
their mixed food, aud warm, stimulating
food. Hens often suffer in winter for
want of exercise. They will fly from
their roos,, eat their breakfast, and stand
almost molIonless, and go to roost again
soon after noon. especially if they are in
rather dark house.

Truly Catholic Views.

Rev. Albert Barnes, in recent dis
course, has the following remarks upon
sectarianism as opposed to true catholic
iiy among real christians, which deserve
TO be seriously perused.

grain up in gravel, and let them scratch
for living, which gives them exercise
that is conducive both TO their health
and comfort, and to their laying. Wheth-
err they have gravel in large boxes, or on
a ground floor, mix the grain up several
inches deep in it. his is often essen
tial to success, as sometimes hens will
not lay without their being reduced TO
the necessity of taking exercise. Bury
the grain so that they must have consld-
cradle labor in finding il, leaving little
on the top and near the surlace, TO in
duce search for more. This is the best
remedy for laziness; as that exercise
which gains the food gives good rel
