The six remaining districts were re
presented in the last congress by w
Coles, Archibald Stewart, Andrew
Beirne, Joseph johnson, all democrats
and by John Taliafcrro, fed, and Y
w. Hopkins, conservative.
OF these we will remark, that the
election of TaIiaferro is admitted to bt
doubtful, and the Richmond Enquirer
arguing from returns actually received
declares that the election of Coles may
be regarded as certain.

OBSERVATION OF APPLES.

The following practical observations,
contained in letter from Noah Webster,
have been published in tn Massachusetts
Agricultural Repository
at is the practice with some persons TO
pick apples in October, and first spread
them on the floor of an upper. .room.--l'hls
practice is said to render apples more dur
able, by drying them. But can affirm
this to be mistake. Apples afer remain
ing on the tree as long as safety from the
frost will admit, should be taken directly
from the trees to close casks, and kept as
dry and cool as possible. If suffered 10
lie on the floor for weeks, they wiher and
lose their favor, without acquiring any ad'
di,icnal durability. The best mode Of pre-.
serving apples for spring use, have found
to be, the putting of them in dry sand as
soon as picked. For this purpose, prorure
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 OF
treatment are these ls.. The sand keeps
the apples from the air, which is essential
to their preservation. I'd. The sand
checks the evaporation Of the apples, thus
preserving them in their full aavor--al the
same lime any moisture yielded by the ap-
pies, (and some there will bc,) is absorbed
BY the sand SO that the apples are kept dry,
aud all mus,iness is prevented. My pip
pms in May and June, are as fresh as when
first picked even the ends of the stem look
as if just separated from the 'wig."

REMARKABLE ESCAPE.

|, On the passage of the ship Alexander,
from New Orleans to New York, young
lad abou' ID years old, from naturally
frocksome and mischleyous disposition,
become SD troublesome in his pranks, that
it was threatened by the Captain if they
were continued, that he would confine him
in water cask. Our youngster took no
he'd, however, and at his next offence was
put in the cask, which was headed up,
leaving large bungnole fer the admission
Of air. That night the ship encountered
violent storm, and in sudden lurch, the
cask cont ,ning the boy rolled over nto.
the sea. The circumstance was not noticed
by those on board. For unatsly the cask
struck bung up, and aoated about thirty
hours, when it was thrown upon The Beach
Cape at St. Bias. Here the boy mado
des sperate efforts to exirlcate himself from
his prison without success, and 10 despair
gave up TO die. Some cows how' YER stroll
ling on the Beach, were attracted to III
cask, and ia walking around it one OF The
number, it being Fly time, switched her tail
in tfe ~ s-hole, which the lad grasped
with adesperatearesolutior. The COW bel.
lowed aud got off Tor life, and after running
some two hundred yards with the cask.
struck it against a log on the .ach, and
knocked it as we say, into cockd has.-
The boy thus proviIentialy relea,ei was
discovered by some fishermen on the point
and taken into ApalachIcola, where smah
collection being made for him, he was ena.

The Strangles in Horses.

This is principally disease incidental
to young horses, usually appearing between
the fourth and fifth years. 1t is preceded by
cough and can at first be scarcely distinsui-
shed from common cough, except that there
is more discharge from the nos!rIl, ola yel-
lowish color, mixed with matter, bu: gen.
erally without smell and likewise a con.
siderable discharge ofropy matter from the
mouth, aud greater swelling than usual un.
der the throat. This swelling increases
with uncertain rapidhy, accompanied by
some fever and disclination 10 cal, partly
arising from the Gcver, but more from the
pain the animal feels in the act of chewing.
There is considerable thirst, but after a gu p
or two, the animal ceases TO drink, yet Is
ardenty desirous Of more. In the attempt
10 swallow, and sometimes when not drink
ipp, a convulsve cough comes on which
almost threatens 10 sufoca;e the animal {;
and thence, probably, the name Of the dis
ease. The tumor is about The centre of the
channel Of the under jaw; it soon fills the
whole space, and is evidently one uniform
BODY and may thus be Distinguished from
clanders or The enlarged glands of catarrh.
A, length the centre Oft becomes more pro-
minent and soft, t,and evidently contains fluid.
This rapidly increases, the tumor bursts,
and a great quantity of pus is discharged,
As SOON as tho tumor has broken, the
cough subsidies, and the horse speedily
mcnds.
The treatment is very simple. As the
essence Of the disease consists in the form.

under jaw, the principal, or almost the sole
attention, should be directed 10 tue hasten

Sept. 18th, by C. J. Wolbert, Auctioner, at the
Highlield Cocoonery, Germantown, Pa. The

to thin soil and close planting, the sizes OF
trees were generally small, and the branches
few, the average height, according to es1i.

as The tumor of strangles evidently appears,
the part should be actively blistercd. AS
