A Travelling Posper. The other day al,
| old man of rather decentish appearance pre-
scented himself at the Commissioners Office
as candidate for admission to the aims
house. His countenance struck Col Mann
as one not altogether unknown to him, and
he so stated to the applicant. "Seen me be-
fore, dye say? 7" said the old man, q whv to
be sure you have; we're no strangers L as
sure you or at least we oughtn't 10 be, for
I've been in your aims house this manv a
year. But you see, about fifteen months ago
got little tired of my old home, and took
notion to travel a bit, and went off to Bos-
ton and got in the alms-house there. II was
pretty good, and made myself tolerable
comfortable and contented, though the over
seerS didn't mean should !; and at last to
get rid of me, they offered to pay my passage
to Norfolk, Virginia. Well, went, and got
into the poor house there but made a pre-
cious poor bargain of it, tell you. Hogs
fat and hommony, and hommony and hogs
fat was all the variety of that concern so
you may be sure didn't stay long, butmade
my way to Richmond. There found the
poor house fare little better than at Nor
folk, but no touch at all to what had been
used to SO torrying there long was out of the
question. The next place stopped at was
baltimore; and must say for Baltimore that
its poor house accommodations are not to be
sneered at, and should have made out right
well there hadn't it been that the company
was entirely too promiscuous for a N. York
anti-nigger man. got along with it as long
as could stand it, but that wasn't great
while; and so packed of: and here am a.
gain, Colonel, ready for my old quarters
" There's no place, like hone,' Colonel; let
them travel that will, but Bellevue is as good
a resting place as want" And at Bellevue
the old man made up his bed the same night,
and in the morning was found lying in it with
countenance perfectly placid and serene

Murder Of the Rev. Eran Roberts, bo-
dy of the Rev. Evan Roberts, of Steuhen, O.
MEDIA county, was found in the Lock at the
Little Basin, this morning. An Inquest was
held, and testimony introduced which leaves
no reasonable ground to doubt but that he
was murdered, robbed of his watch and about
300 in money. Mr.. Roberts was ON his way

A pery simple but Uery e6ic0cious remedy
gentleman was coming to this city from
New York, some days ago. when he happens
ed to get q spark from the locomotive engine
into his eye. He tried various means to re-,
move it, but all to no purpose the spark re-
NAMED in his eye, and gave him very great
pain. Coming ON board the steamboat at
Burlington, such was the pain he suffered that
the accident became known rtothe passen-
gers generally, and finally reached the ears
tho Eneinoes Of Akn theat. who taking horse
hair with him went to the cabin and sought
the sufferer. Are youthe gentleman said
he, who has got a spark in your eye 2" Be-
ing answered in the affirmative, well, am
the man that can take it out" whereupon he
simply formed kind of loop of horse hair by
bending it round and bringing the two ends
together, when raising the eye-lid and insert
ing the loop between i and the ball, and then
letting the lid fall again, he drew the hair out,
and with it the little cause of the great pain.
The gentleman was at once relieved. This
is a very simple way of removing whatever
may have got into the eye. and it will be
well for every body to remember it.

A most horrid and unnatural murder was
yesterday discovered to have been commit
ted in the neighborhood of Rivington and Es-
sex-streets, by Samuel Ackerly, on his wife,
(assisted as is supposed by a man named 10
seph Legerl Asno external marks were dis
covered on the woman, the first jury of in
quest acquitted the husband. A second Jury,
however, was called, and evidence was ad-
duced that she had been impaled alive and
had died in the most excrutiating fortunes
The details (says the ~. Y. Express) are al
most too shocking for the public eye.
.SaCeet AppJes.--We have frequent inqui-
ries. as nursery men, for trees Of sweet APP
pies to cultivate for hogs and other farm
stock, as though none but sweet apples were
ut for that purpose. This opinion originates
from misapprehension of the qualities Of
the apple. In the first place the nutritive
property OF the apple consists principally in
the Saccharine matter which it contains
This is determined by the specific gravity of
its juice-the heavier it is, the more saccha-
rine matter it contains. Now the heaviest
juice is found in acid as well as sweet APP
pies. The acid is superadded to the sweet.
In the second place, sour apples are as CRATE
full on the stomach, and so they are to the
stomach of our farm stock. as sweet apples
are, and mixture is at least desirable
Sweet apples soon clog the stomach. A friend
related to us, few days ago, that he last
year turned his hogs into his orchard to eat
the falling fruit; that the orchard being
