MEXICAN NEws.-Marquez, commanding
the city of Mexico, has executed Gen. o.
Iiaran, the Post commander, for reasonable
correspondence with the Liberals. He has also
arrested 100 Liberal sympathizers and threat
ems to execute them and burn the Capitol if
Macmillan and his Generals are harmed.
The Department of State at Washington has
information that the court martial in the case
of MAMMALIAN has been suspended for the
present.
The n Y Times has telegram which says
that Santa Anna landed at We're Cruz on the
4th, but was compelled re-embark. He then
proceeded to Sisel, where he was captured by
the liberals, court nartialed and sentenced to
be hung on the Sth. We don't believe it.

PRETTY PooR PRAorIoEs. Cos-.
mos" who edits the rural column Of
the Saturday Evening Post, thus
enumera-es o liss of pretty poor
practices
1t is pretty poor practice for a
farmer to dig and delve, tug and
grub, and clear up fifty acres Of land
at cost of $4,000, and then in .he
third year surrender about fifth of
it to the briars, brambles and OK eve
daisies.
Poor practice to half manure. half
plow, half seed, half cultivate q field
and then harvest from it less than
half a crop
10 keep two inferior, scrawny.
scrub COWS for dairy purposes, that
give less milk than one good one.
and consume more food than three.
10 purchase in town 500 loads of
livery stable manure, and suffer GOO
OF better home made manure to run
to waste.
10 attempt to fatten three hogs
into 1900 pounds of pork on Just SO
much feed as would keep two nicely
growing.
10 estimate agricultural fairs as
arrant humbugs, and spend three
days every month saving the country
at political meetings.
TO depend upon borrowing your
nelghbors' rakes, mawers, and all,
sorts of implements in haying and
harvest time.
10 house up thousand bushels of
grain, waiting for a rise, till one
tenth has gone to feed rats and
mice, and the remainder smells like
the essence Of rat, and the price is
down 40 per cent.
10 plant out a big orchard Of
choice fruit trees with frs. thought
OF money making, and leave them to
do or die.
10 keep two fancy five hundred
dollar carriage horses, and pay six
dollars day for a team to plow.
1t is positively poor practice to
call "book larnin" all bosh to ig-
more news and agricultural papers,
and attempt to keep up an even yoke
with your progressive neighbors by
main strength and stupidness.
