INTEMPRRANcE.-There is no vice more dis
gustiug or worse in its consequences than Intem-
perance nor is there one which so loudly calls up
on the Philanthropist for correction. Its horrors
felt and acknowledged by all classes of society,
and in every community. That the vice increases,
as the world advances in age and population, has
been asserted by some, and denied by others; but
problem remains unsolved.
Incur own happy community, we believe, there
is greater absence of the vice, than in any other
Of equal sze on the continent, and we think we
justly boast of the sobrety that prevails in the
town of Providence. Very recently, Society for
the Suppression Of Intemperance, composed of many
Of most respectable citizens, has been establish
ed in this town, and whilst all applaud the phan-
thropic motives that have actuated its members, il
is to be regretted that in the moment Of unguarded
zeal for the public welfare, they have actually,
though unintentionally msrepresented the state of
the morals Of our citizens Their deliberations and
proceedings have been published, and gone abroad,
and if noticed by citizens of other communities, an
impression will be given, that in Providence, ma
jority Of the people are drunkards. Such, howev-
err, Is not the fact, and it duty to declare, that
more sober minded and correct people cannot be
found in America than are the citizens of that COM
munity with whom we have the honor Of associa-
ting.
That drunkards are oftener met with in our
streets, at this time, than they 20 years ago,
is fact that will not be disputed but when il is
admitted to be true, it should be recollected that
within that period our population has increased
more than fifty per centum. Vice and crime always
did, aud always will increase, with the population
Of country-nnd when we shall have attained
thirty thousand inhabitants, the number of drunk
ards will be increased in proportion. 1t is believed
that we are as virtuous now, as we were fifty years
ago, and it is emphatcally denied that the vice Of
intemperance predominates, to alarming extent,
in the town of Providence.
Be this, however, as it may, it becomes every
good citizen TO strive to keep himself and family
ber and he who witnesses the dreadful effects of in
temperance, and the infamy which is certain to fol-
low il, should be warned to dash from his lips the
inebriatipg cup. Philanthrophy may weep over
the fate Of the bacchanal-decency may retire in
disgust from the Loaf hsomc aspect Of the habitual
blbber-meek-eycd Religion may plead and de-
plore, but the vice which prosrates him beneath the
brute of creation, never will be eradicated until it
is suppressed by the strong OF the Legislature.

the several cherries under that name,
are better described by French VII
tiers.
The Black IertdTian Cherry, is a
noble fruit and very good bearer.
Scions Of all these sorts may be
easily procured by applying to any OF
the trustees Of the Massachusetts Agrl
cultural Society.
Besides the above there are several
varieties of the MazGrd, or natur a
cherry, which are very excellent fruits,
and valuable for being later than the
others. They are generally harder
trees, and will bear neglect better than
the finer sorts
APPLES.
The fruit being too generally con
sidered only as affordtDg beverage;
our farmers are apt to be indifferent to
the species which they raise. The
natural fruits, it is true, often make the
best cider, bot it is not uncommon to
see a farmer who may take twenty or
fifty barrels of cider. unable 10 pick
out single barrel of fine apples which
he can preserve TO time when he
wants them most, the spring OF the year,
when they are as saluiars as they are
agreeable. The scions of apples may

care of, by being p'undged in clay, or

June. Any farmer might soon learn
the art of ENGRAVING, and the old or

| often preserved and renewed by head
ing them down and grating them, il
this is done judiciously.
The sorts which we should recon
mend for general cultivation are,
The Rhode Island G,eening, a
good fall and early winter apple.
The NonSuch, red apple, excel
lent. and very late keeping apple
The Nonpareil, Russell apple.

The Merton Papp'n, good, hard,

The Spitzenberg This is a fine
fruit, and will keep sound till May or

The Rorbury Ratsetting. This is
one of the hest known and most valn

into notice, though it has been in the
country probably for many years,)

DELAWARE LEGISLATURE.
House Of Representatives
FRIDAY, JANUARY 90.

Mr. Brobson moved, seconded by MIR. Clements,
Tor leave to introduce bill. He said, that the OBJ
Ject OF the bill he proposed to present to the
consideration Of the House, was to amend The fourth
section OF the act which had passed the Legislature
lew days since, concerning fugitiyes from labor.
1t was not hia intention to interfere with the general
principles Of that act he approved of them at the
time the measure was before the House, and he
would not shrink from any responsibility he had in
CURED by giving his assent to law which was
designed to discharge debt we owed to the confed-
eracy OF which we form part and which he bellev-
ed was mainly calculated 10 benefit as we'll those
who were the objects Of the law, as the maslers
who claimed their services. But he said, when the
bill was before the House, he was of the opinion,
that the provisions of the fourth section, which are
exceedingly penal did not sufficiently distinguish
between the Intentional violator Of the law and the
Ignorant and therefore innocent, inlraclion al it.
The rapid manner in which the bill was hurried
through the House, did not leave him time to re-
tiect upon or suggest the proper remedy; but it
is not too late for the House to review its proceed

The section which he proposed to amend. declares
that II any commander of any vessel navigating
