and effected junction with Allatorre.
COL Gonzales has not yet been able to join
the main body.
The reyolutionists have fortified Carbone-
rim, where they will dispute Alatorress pas
sage to Oaxacoa. A battle is expected. Should
Alatorre fail, the government will find itself
weak, morally and physically. Donata Guer-
ras's band Of rebels has been completely dis
persed. A number of towns in the Puebla
mountains are now in open rebellion. The
Apan insurgents have joined the Pueblans.
Gen. Escobedo having suppressed the out
break in Michocacan, will 60 to Puebla, and

Trapping Cut-Worms in
Gardens.

1t is very annoying, after
having set out a nice lot of
sweet potatoes or cabbage plants,
TO sec them cut down, one by
one, by cut-worms. We have
tried ashes, lime, SCOT, and in
EAct everything we have ever
heard of, but never found any
thing effectual until, by acct
dent, we found three Or four Of
the worms, one morning, gath
cred under a small board, which
had been left by some children
on a sweet potato hill. Acting
upon this hint, we placed small
pieces of board, large chips, etc,
all through the patch, and we
trapped them by hundreds. The
boards must be lifted early in
the morning, and on very warm
days, again about noon. A lit
tie care, for a few days, will
clear these pests out of the gar
den. One trial will satisfy any
person Of the merits of this
plan.

them'in the cooking stove to see
what the effect would lie. ! wal
entirely satisfied that l had pro.
duced an excellent fuel. They
furnish kindling cheaper and e
quslly as good as the patented ar
ticles sold in cities and towns
Farmers who have had to hau
wood long distances, and then pre-
pare it for use during the busy sea

OF value. | think it would bt
better for the cobs to lay awhile
after pouring the oil over them, be

May on Pixies Peak.

The Denver Col NeaCs Of
the 9th inst, says: The month
of May was remarkable for low
barometer and temperature,
high winds, frequent, heavy
snow-storms, great total precip-
itation, and generally very Sc
we're weather. The heaviest
snow-storms occurred from the
4th TO the 7th, inclusive, and on
the Odd. The last one is with
out a parallel in the history of
the station, more than three
feet of snow having fallen du-
ring the day, almost completely
burying the houses, added to
what was already on the sum-
NIT. 1t was different from all
other storms that have occurred
during the past winter, in be-
ing steadily accompanied by a
northeast wind. AS is usual,
the precipitation of snow was
accompanied by areas of low
pressure, but the most of it fell
after the barometer had COM
menced to rise. The only ex-
ception to this rule was during
the storm of the 18th to the
18th, which was accompanied
by southwest and west winds
throughout. Thunder-stormso c-
CURED on the 18th and 18th.

BEANs.-Take an ordinary mai
keg, as near water tight as posi-
bic, bore quarter inch holes in ev-
cry third stave an inch from the
bottom. Spade and pulverize
thoroughly a circle of ground three
feet in diameter. Place the kee
in the middle nearly full of good
stable manure well pounded in
plant Lima beans end downwards,
two inches deep, six inches apart,
and as many inches from the kee
all around it, pour on a pail of Wa.
ter, or as much as the manure will
absorb, which may be repeated
once a week in dry weather.
Place five or six poles a foot from
the keg, letting the tops meet over
it, and the work is done. Four
hills will be found enough to raise
enough for any family.

Long and Short Hair.

Many customs have prevailed
among the fair sex respecting
the mode of arranging the hair,
and they have a right TO adopt a
variety Of changes; but cutting
the hair short and wearing it
like boys is not commcndable.
Men have, at different times,
worn the hair long. This has
ever been condemned as an un-
scriptural custom. In the days
Of Charles the FiEst, Of Eng
land, the cavaliers, who despiscd
close religious forms, wore long
hair, while the Puritans cut
theirs short, and were callel
Ground heads" 1t has been
calculated that, by continual
cutting and shaving Of the hair,
about seven feet i'll length is re-
moved from a man i'll twenty
five years. Some writer's assert
that the practice of close cutting
and shaving tends to weaken
the body. Such writers draw a
powerful argument from Sam
son, who, when all unshorn,
slew several thousand Philis-
tines with the jaw bone of an
ass.
