Mexico.

A special from San Antonio, Texas, says on
Saturday Gen. Mackenzie and Col. Shaitcr,
u. s. A., with a strong force crossed over into
Mexico in pursuit of raiders. About 40 miles
above Eagle Pass that night they were obliged
to recross to Texas soil, and Immediately telc-
graphcd for rcinforcements. Twenty companies
of cavalry have been sent to reinforce them TO-
gcther with the sections of artillery which lett
San Antonio short time ago, consisting OF
two Gatog eurs and two riAed cannoo. 1t IS
believed at Fort Clark that this entire force
together with MacKerzle and Skater have 70.
crossed into Mexico before this time. The troops
have Is days rations, heavy train, and two
we'll known and experienced guides, one Mex
icau and one white man. From the character
which Gen. Mckenzie has established through
a long aud brilliant military career, it is safe to
say there will BIO no foollshness INDUCED in this
time, and news of the most exciting character
is expected.

To most peopleit would seem that the running
expenses of this city, leaving out Of view entirely
the sum required for the payment Of interest,
should be fifty odd THOUSAND dollars, and
yet the appropriation bill calls for that much.
The tax of 50. on property assessed at twice as
much as it will sell for to raise that amount. will
tend iu no small degree to increase the number
of those 10 favor of rerquishing tho corpora

The courts of New York have decided that
that city can NOT be wronged and injured by
contracts, even though those contracts were
made by public officers having competent az

whole country by the imposition of fraudu-
lent President.

department who tells his subordinates that

Every landowner should know that he

VEGETABLES IN CELLARS.

An exchange says that such vegetables
as beets, turnips, cabbage, &c, should
never be kept in the house cellar, as they
frequently decay and cause serious illness
This is true, if they are carelessly thrown
in uncovered heaps on the cellar bottom
but there is no necessity for such misman.
agement. A vegetable cellar, which
should always be separate apartment
from the fruit room and from The room
where cooked food is kept, should be Il,
neat as parlor, and all vegetables should
not only be stored in clean boxes or bar
rels, but they should be imbedded in pull
verified moss, which will not only preserve
their freshness but prevent all bad odors.
Clean damp sawdust will do in place oil
moss, if the packages are not large. Po-
tatoes do not need such packing. but they
should be placed in clean boxes, ventilat.

SEAwEED MANURE. Sea-weeds decom
pose with great ease when collected in
heaps or spread upon the land. Daring
their decay they yield ammonia and saline
matters. Especially to this saline matter
may be ascribe1 the beneficial influence
OF seaweed on garden asparagus, oIigi-
nally seaside plant. and also upon fruits
like raspberries, which contain much aka
line matter. Dry seaweed contains IRON
twenty TO thirty per cent. OF ash, and
about two and one-haf per cent. OF nitro

seventy to eighty per cent. of water.
