Ar Gumminsville, n. Y. on Saturday night,
man entered a graveyard, removed a corpse
from grave, and placed it IN sack. In leav-
ing the graveyard he was compelled to climb
high fence, and the feat was. undoubtedly. diff
cult with the dead weight the resurrertionist
carried. ltwould seem that the man had placed
the cord of the sack over his shoulders that ! Q
might climb the easier, the sack hanging at his
back. At any rate, he was found in the morn.
ing desd-hanging by the neck on one side of
the fence, and the pendant corpse on the other.

The Next Congress.

Itis now certain that the next Congress will assemble two months or so before the usual day. It is also equally certain, that the next House of Representatives will be anti-demo- cratic, by strong majority. We suspect that Mr. Buchanan considered the late Congress in the same category so he will be no worse off, at all events. No House of Representatives, n Congress could be more stupidly, doggedly, fanaticaliy opposition than the one just dis solved, although claiming to be "democratic.'' Democracy" at the present time, is hard to be defined. During the late Congress it ap- peared to consist in opposing the measures of the Executive !--without the least reference to their necessity and justice. The most formida- ble opponents of the Presidents recommenda- tions were democrats, such men as Davis, of Mississippi, Toombs and other influential sen ators. From all such democrat" Mr. Buchan- an ought to pray to be delivered

A New Military Post.

The visit of Colonel Bonneville Commander of the Department of New Mexico, to this re- zion of country, is one of inspection, with the design of selecting proper and eligible site for new military post Coming on a mission so important to the interests of our citizens, we trust he will receive every facility for examining the country and all important information bearing upon the matter. Our idea is that this post should be located some where between Tubac and San Xavier, say at Sopori, or Point de Agua, as either place pos seses good water and graizing. About four miles from Sopori there is broad Apache trai constantly used by the Indians on their trips to Sonora, The establishment of post at Sopori would have a tendency to interfere slightly with the operations of these red gentle men.
 As Colonel Bonneville will soon be here, and without doubt will be desirous of consulting the wishes of the inhabitants, we suggest that a public meeting be called at Tubac, at an early day, to consider the matter, and obtain an ex- pression of opinion as to the locality best cal culated for the new post

Executives of Mexico and their Titles.

Executives of Mexico and their Titles.
 There seems to be some confusion in the public mind as to the proper titles of the dis tinguished gentlemen between whom the exec utive powers of the Mexican government or governments are now divided, as also in regard to their political affinites and relations to each other. These are, we believe the facts, or the facts as they stood the 9th inst later than which it would be unsafe to predicate anything on the affairs of Mexico.
 l. Benito Juarez is the so called Constitu- tonal President of the republic, dd iaterim- ''Citizen' Juarez, as he signs himself sue ceeds to that office by virtue of his election to the Vice Presidency on the same ticket with Ignacio Comonfort, now ill this country. He is Q native of the State of Oaiaca, where his be supposed both from his birthplace and pres ent position, and profoundly learned in the law His present residence is Vera Cruz.
 2 Felix Zulosge ..aso styles himself uow President dd interim but he is man of very different stripe He represents the extreme anti liberal or church military party. It is he who, a year since, headed the Tacubaya movement which resulted in the overthrow of Comontort's government, and he who, few weeks since was himself compelled for time to retire In ad- dition to his civil title, hs also enjoys that of Brigadier General His late residence was the house of the British Minister, at the city of Mex. ico; but he is suppoeed now to be at large in the capital.
 B. Miguel Miramon styles himself or is styled in the published decrees, President Substitute (susdtutO), an office which he holds not di- recty from the nation or the late electoral jun ta, as supposed by some, but from Felix Zulo- aga himself, and none other, who "in virtue of his perogative as President 0d interim to ap- point President Substitute, because of lis own temporary shortcomings, hath been pleas ed to name the General of Division D. Miguel Miramon." The President Substitute was, IS months ago, quite unknown, but within the last year has had extraordinary fortune He is said to be of French extraction, and distiI- guished for remarkable energy of character, and an almost supertitious belief in hs star It IS hardly necessary to say that he belongs to the churc, military party, more particularly the military part oft It is he who is said to be on his way with some 5000 infantry and 4000 cavalry to Vera Cruz.
 These the names and titles which these distinguished gentlemen have made for them selves, and at present enjoy at home Abroad, we are not aware that they enjoy, except by courtesy, anything more than that of plain Mex ican citizens. Neither government has been formally recognized by the great commercial powers, though France and Spain, more par ticulary the latter, have natural sympathes with that of ZuIoagA- -Miramon, as also, singular enough, England is said to have; while the Uni ted States naturally sympathises with the gov ernment of Juarez

 The report of the Board of Army Officers, appointed by the Secretary of War to look into a view to retrenchment, recommends the aban- donment of most of the interior posts beyond the western line of settlements They are maintained at great expense and suffering to no purpose.
 Shortly after these posts are built, they are generally abandoned, and the cost is thrown away. Last year five of these posts were aban- doned, and within ten years fifty.
 The Board recommends the advance of the corps of the army from the Western frontier, in the spring, to the interior or across the con tinent aad to return to the settlements in the winter t

Preserving Grapes for Winter.

While grapes may be grown in such
profusion and with so little labor, 1t Is a
little remarkable that a supply for every
household in the country is not secured,
not only in the regular season OF them,
but to last until spring. There is no
trouble in keeping grapes through the
winter as fresh as when they are first
gathered. In seasons when other fruit
IS scarce, no greater luxury can be enjoy
ed than dish of fresh grapes in winter.
In gathering grapes for keeping frcsh'
they should be allowed TO hang on the
vines until they are fully ripe, and then
gathered with care to avoid bruislng.-
The fairest punches should be chosen to
put away, and with pair of small scls
sors all defective and bruised berries shoe
be cut off. They should then be placec
in boxes well ventilated, and remain tor I
few days, when they should be packed II
boxes, holding six or eight pounds each
first sprinkling the bottom with a iaye
of mahogany saw-dust, or what is better
turning chips, then a layer of grapes, an'
then saw-dust alternately TO the top. l

These should be put in the coolest plac
in the house, where the air is dry. On tn
approach of freezing weather they ma
be removed to upper shelves suspcnde
in the cellar, or in any dry room whel
the temperature is rs near the freezln
point as possible. Some recommend co
ton batting in place of turning chips, b'
we have always been most successful vii
the latter.
A most valuable addition to our o
stock Of grapes has been made in sever
new varieties. Some of them are W.
