PRESERVATION OF APPLES.

The following valuable observations, contained
in letter from Noah Webster, Esq have been pub
lished in the Massachusetts Agricultural Reposto-
ry.
!" Il is the practice with some persons to pick APP
pies III October, and spread them the floor of an
upper ROOM This practice is said to render apples
more durable, by drying them. But | can affirm
this t. be mistake. Apples after remaining SO
long ON the trees as safety from the frost will admit
should be taken directly from the trees to close
casks, ank kept dry and cool possible. If SUI
fered 10 lie on the floor for weeks, they wher and
loose their favor, without acquiring any additional
durability. The best mode of preserving apples
for spring use, have found TO be, the putting them
in dry sand as soon as picked. For this purpose |
dry sand in the heat of summer, and late in October
put down the apples in layers, with covering Of
sand upon each layer. The singular advantages of
this mode oftreutment are these; L. The sand keeus
the apples from the air, which is essential to their
preservation. 2. The sand checks the EVAPORATION
Of the apples thus preserving their fuR fayor--at
the same time, any moisture yielded by the apples
(and some there will be) is absorbed by tile sand
80 that the apples kept dry, and ali mustiness
is'prevented. My pippns in May and June are as
fresh as when first picked even the ends of the
stem look as if just separated from the twig.''

SATURDAY., Jan. %.


There was no business transacted IN
the Senate, save the presenting of two
memorials by the Chair-one from
Philadelphia relative to reduction of
duty on imported iron, and another
from inhabitants of New Jersey, in re-
lation to law to allow Of drawback of
duties paid on iron, and the general
materials used in the building and out
fitting ofships. Some discussion arose
on the motion of Mr.. Hayne to refer
the latter memorial to the Committee
on Commerce to report by bill or 9th
erwise on its prayer, which was sup
ported by Mr.. Woodbury., MIR. Benton,
MIR. King, and Mr.. Silsbee, and oppos-
ed by Dir. Dickerson, Mr.. Foote and
Mr.. Knight, who thought its proper
reference would be to the Committee
on Manufactures. The hour for the
Court of Impeachment. having arrived
it was finally, on the suggestion ofMr.
Webster laid on the table. The amen
datory bill, relative to The fifth census,
was read third time, and passed. In
the impeachment Of Judge Peck, Mr..
Buchanan closed, and the case was
rested on both sides.
Monday, Jan. 81.
In the Senate numerous petitions and
memorials were presented and referred
to appropriate Committee. Among
others, several memorials, by Mr.. Rob-
inson, from the Legislature Of Illinois,
praying a survey and sale ofthe public
lands at the lead mines in that State.
and for appropriations towards improy-
ing the navigation of the Wabash river
and for erecting n hospital for disabled
seamcn mt the confluence Of the Ohio
and Mississippi river. Mr.. Burnet
submitted resolution, relative to the
building Of Light House, at Port
Clinton on Lake Erie. in the State of
Ohio. The case of the Impeachment
Of Judge Peck was finally concluded,
and ended in the acquittal ofthe Judge.
The vote stood-2l for finding him
guilty--22 not guilty. Mr. Robinson
and Mr.. Benton were excused from
voting. The Court was then adjourn
ed sine die.
After the presentation Of petitions in
the House Of Representatives the
House repaired to the Senate to attend
the trial Of Judge Peck; and, after re-
naming about three quarters of an
hour, returned, when the Chairman re-
ported that the. High Court of Inpeach-
ment had decided by n vote of22 to 81
that the. charges preferred against
James ii. Peck had not been sustained.
Various bills which were on the table,
waiting for third reading, were read
a-third time and passed, with the ex-
ception of one or two, the considera-
ton Of which was postponed. The
Bill for the relief Of james Monroe was
then taken up in the House, and the
