How to go to Bed.

this subject says:
I" III freezing Winter time do it in hurry,
if there is no fire in the room, and there ought
not to be unless you are qnte an invalid But
if person is not in good health it is best to
undress by good fire, warm and dry the feet

room without fire. jump into bed, bundle up.

or more, until you feel little warmth; then
uncover your head, next draw off your stocl :

and go to sleep. If sense of chilness comes
over you on getting into bed. it will always
do you an iniary; ard its repetition increases
the i'll effects without having any tendency to

Later From Mexico.

According to the latest intelligence from
New Mexico, the alleged peace with the Ma
-vaio Indians seems to rest on very unstable
basis. The armistice agreed upon does not
provide for the surrender of the mnrderers OF
Major Brooks servant, which has prev onsly
been insisted npon, and both the Superinten-
dent of Indian Affairs aud the Commander OF
the Military Department say they will consent
to no peace on such terms. They require the
return of all property taken, both public and
private, and the establishment of a line east
by which the Indians cannot advance, either
for tlhng the soil or for grazing stock.

nsg- The steamship City Of Washington

Beg The steamship City of Washington,
from Liverpool on the 9TH inst, arrived at New
York yesterday. Her news is interesting. =
At the New Years levee at the Tuileries, the
Emperor made remark to the Austrian min
lister, importing that the relations between
France and Italy were far from amicable,
which caused panic on the Paris Bourse -
The trouble grows out Of the italian question.
The tribes in the mountains of Algeria are
still in insurrection. The Presidents Message
is considered insulting BY Spain; the Ministry
of that country declare that she will never sell
Cuba, and it is said that the Cabinets Of Eng
land and France have been addressed on the
subject. The news from all parts Of Italy in
dictates general alarm. A collision between
Sardinia aud Austria is thought to be immi-
nent. Rumors were current in Vienna touch
ing conspiracy in Cfacow. Later adyices
fxom India report important British victories.
