The Foreign News.

The Persian accounts of the battle Of
Bushire state that the English advanced
until meeting the main body of the Per
slams that they then set fire 10 the British
camp equipage and retreated toward Blu
shire whence being REINFORCED the battle
began and lasted four days, both parties
retiring in consequence of the torrents of
rain which fell during the whole time, rem
dering The ground unfit for cavalry. The
Persians left some guns in the mud, but
afterward recovered them. The Persians
estimate the British loss at 1000 and their
own at 400.
The London Times, of April 25th,
says;
The news by the Overland Mail shows
how fully justified the Government and
people of England have been in promptly
supporting their officers in China. Ger
tainly our troops, u frigates, and our gum
boats have not been dispatched an hour too
soon. We are evidently engaged in mo
mentcus conflict which it will require the
utmost vigor, courage, and decision to bring
to::a close. The diplomatic labors of Lord
Eigin must be delayed until the sterner
task Of military and naval chiefs have been
effectually completed. There is an end for
q time of missions and negotiations.

Indian War.

The Despatch from St. Louis some days
ago stating that some 600 hostile Indians
were surrounding Fort Dodge in Iowa, for
.unately turns out to be incorrect The st.
Louis Democras has a letter from Fort Des
Noines, April 29th, stating that the com
mittee of information have returned from
Fort Dodge, and report that the panic in
that region has proved ludicrous as it was
general. The writer says:
The party going up met dozens of fam
lilies, huTying to the places o general re-
ndezyous and resistance, and found houses
deserted aloag the whole line of the road.
At Fort Dodge they found churches sta
bies, tents, everything filed with the terrif-
ed populace from the surrounding country,
but found no "Injuns," or any reliable in
formation that any had been e within
fifty miles of there.
The panic seems TO hare arisen from the
delay of the party sent to. bury the dead
near Spirit Lake, who. had experienced
many difficulties from snow and disagreea-
bic weather, and who were out some week
or ten days longer than had been supposed
necessary.
A party started to see what had detained
them, and yet another party followed. By
accident the two latter came in sight OF
each other, too far off to distinguish their
"colors," and becoming greatly alarmed,
started for the fort BY different routes, each
panic-stricken and panie-spreading..
Til. result is as before stated, and it
will be weeks before the excitement is fully
alhyed.

e has been hemmed in, starved out and
cut to peices, since be went flibustering in
Nicaragua, and yet we do not come to bis
final end in the history of the war which
he has stirred up in that country. The
latest advices are that the cause of Walk
or is more desperate than ever-it is utter
lyhopeles that his own friends do not sup
pose him capable of holding out beyond
the Goth of April. The reports of his
yy;;c.cries on the ,5th and 16 Of March were
fictitious. Nosuch victories were obtained,
was there. any such slaughter of the
COST Ricans as the fIibusters represent
ed. Walker did attack San Jorge on the
18th ult., but he was repulsed with heavy
loss The allies, since that day have been
gradually closing around him. By way of
the Iske, We have accounts from Rivas to
the Isth of April. The Walker force there
then only amounted to $50 men. They
were confined in two houses and no proyi-
sions The enemy, who also held San
Juan del Sur, surrounded them at eve
nv point. There seemed to be only one
doubtful question in connection with the
issue-could Walker escaped We shall
expect the next arrival to knock this story
in the head, with forish about his sue

The MuRRAm.-The cattle in the pas.
lures, of those countries which lie around
the Baltic, are destroyed by by an infec.
tious disease, which is supposed to be.Mur-
ran. It has prevailed there for three
years, and has at length attracted the at
tention of the British Government. An
order in council was issued on the I'd of
April, which directs that hereafter no cat
tie and horses hoofs, raw or old hides, or
skins Of cattle, shall be brought into the
United Kingdom from, any place within
the Territories of Russia, Prussia or Neck

Gulf Of Finland, or from any other port of
the Baltic provinces, lying between that
gulf and the Territories of Lubbock, or from
the Territories of Lubbock itself.

rs this work in the Northern and Middle
States is commonly attended to from the
10th to the 25th of May, it will rarely
be the case at that season that the wa

nine or ten o'clock in the morning; and
when only a few sheep are to be washed,
it will be better generally to delay till az
ternoon. If the washing can be conduct
ed Immediately after a warm rain, it will
be easier, the effect of it being to soften

Is completed, the sheep should be turned

BUTTER.MAKING IN WINTER.

To make good butter it is necessary to
have suitable milk-room, or cellar, which
should be dry, light, and well ventilated.
The milk should be set away in clean pans,
which can be made of earthcn-ware or tin.
When milk is set in dark, damp cellar
there is danger Of its becoming mouldy
and if it stands without being churned for
some time, it becomes either bitter, cheesy,
or sour, which taste it imparts to the butter
when churned.
Butter should never be washed in water
or taken into the hand to be worked, as the
water destroys much Of its delicate aroma,
and the heat of the hands melts and makes
it oily. 1t should be taken from the churn
with wooden lade and placed in a tray
the salt is then worked in by the use of the
ladle, and the buttermilk worked out 1t
can then be set away in cool place for
twenty-four hours, after which it should be
again worked, until all the buttermilk is
thoroughly expelled, when it can be packed
down in pots, and will keep for long time
if air is excluded

THE ORCHARD.

Loose no time in fesetting the orchard.
A young tree should not be planted in the
same place where an old diseased one has
stood, unless the earth is removed, and vir-
gin soil pelted in around it. Examine the
bark of the apple and pear tree, and destroy
the eggs of insects scrape the gum from
around the roots Of the peach trees, and
pour boiling water into the holes Of the
worms that have caused the gum. If the
soil in the fruit orchard be now manured,
plow lightly, and mulched all over with
leaves or straw, the crop Of fruit will be
improved astonishingly next season. If
rabbits bark young trees, rub their trunks
with soft country soap.-Plant out orchards
of apples, pears and peaches. Select strait,
well formed trees, budded or grated low
down. Patronise only those nursery men
that take up and pack trees with care, aud
then plant them carefully. Young trees are
generally planted too deep; the young
rootlets want the surface soil and not the
subsoil. Therefore small trees are safer to
plant than large ones. In planting out a
tree, the hole should not be dug as if post
was to be planted. The hole should be
dug three times as large as the roots e1-

CARE OF BEES IN WINTER.

The trouble of Wintering bees is the
greatest cause of failure in their successful
propagation, by young and inexperienced
apiarians. Some advise keeping bees in
cellars through the Winter When this is
practiced, the cellar should be perfectly dry,
as moisture is very injurious to them.
In Ncw-England we have seen holes made
in the ground, into which the hivcsare placed
and surrounded with straw: leaving plenty
Of room for the entrance of air, and to al
low the bees egress and ingress, if they de-
sire to leave the hive, as they often do.
A good plan is to place the hive on the
ground, and surround it with straw, which
can be kept in place by wooden stakes, driv-
en- close together around the hive. This al
lows plenty of air, and darkens the hive suf.
fciently.
Sometimes box is made large enoushto
cover the hive on the stool upon which it
stands This is very convenient mode.
The box should have holes to allow the ell
trance of air. and permit the bees to 60 out.
