How a Boy Made Ten Dollars.

DEAR EDIToRs:- would like to write
piece for the Rural, but L can hardly
summon the courage. Iwould like to tell
you how made ten dollars. My father is
farmer, and last spring he gave me a
piece of ground to put in potatoes. He
plowed it and helped me plant them.
After that took care of them. Sometimes
we would get through our days work be-
fore night; then / would have the rest of
the day to work in my patch, or do what
ever liked. 1 took good care to keep all
weeds out of my patch and to keep the pc
tatoes nicely hilled. When gathered them
in the fall had eighteen bushels. Pota-
toes were plenty, and could not get more
than twenty-five cents bushel, and I
thought that would not pay me. So
bought pig and boiledmy potatoes, mixed
a little meal with them, and fed them to
the pig. The pig cost me two dollars, and
/ sold it for twelve, and never missed the
time it took to raise the potatoes or feed
the pig,-and that ten dollars lasted me
good while for pocket money. think
nearly every farmer boy can get little
patch if he wants it, to plant in what he
likes best. / guess 1 viii try potatoes next
year, remain your friend.NJ. H, JEFF

News from Mexico.

The Brownsville Ranchero says:
We have been credibly informed Of still
another barDarOus murder committed within
the jurisdiction of MatamO. as. On the
ninth of this month, Agapito Rios, an officer
of COrtina's command, had man by the
name of Santiago Galvan hung simply he
cause he refused to serve in Cortina's com
mand without pay. A nephew of the un-
fortunate man reported the fact to the first
alcalde of Matamoras, but was informed
that nothing could be done in the matter.
The Runchero of the fourteenth instant
reports the following:
A meeting of prominent merchants was
called on Monday by the chief of the treas
ury department at Matamoras. and also at
tended by General Palacios and other lead
ing persons. The proposals submitted by
the government were rejected.
Another meeting was called for yester
day. The object is. undoubtedly. to raise
money to meet the present requirements of
the government on this frontier.
The amount demanded is,S60. 900. There
is very little prospect that the sum will e
advanced, unless force is resorted to, in
which case the money will have to be paid
by Mexican citizens. The foreign mer-
chants are too near the protection of Amer
lean guns, to have tear of any incon-
venience.
The Ronchero Of the twelfth says:
General COrtina arrived at MatamOras on
Sunday. The knowing ones say that he
came on flying visit for the purpose OF OBJ
tanning funds and supplies for his troops,
and that he will return to the front without
delay. He has established his headquar
tiers at Camargo for the present.
