PRESERVING WINTER APPLE

IhESEh v lNU WIN LEX APPLES.
Last April year, visited friend, when
he made me present ola large dish Of fnefla-
vored apples, and it being out of season to
have apples in such good state of preserva-
ton, inquired his mode of keeping them.-
He informed me that in the fall he made
bp5ufiI ,6rat,ele4N. fui che sulr,rce, wnen lie
filled the box with sound apples, and covered
it with boards in the form of roof, but leav-
ing an opening at both ends. The roof he
also covers with straw and earth, to the usual
thickness OF an apple or potatoe hole. In this
condition he leaves it till the apples are fro
zen. but as soon as thaw comes he makes IT
perfectly alright, and in few days the
frost Is altogether removed, and the apples
are as fresh and perfect as when they were
taken from the trees. ~ 49,!
am aware that this is an excellent plan,
because know that most Of the apples and
potatoes in holes rot and decay, in conse-
quence of the warm and foul air accumula-
ting, having no opportunity to escape,
thought, however to improve it. / conse-
quently last fall buried my apples in the u
sual way then / took four strips Of one inch
boards and nailed them together in the form
of chimney, leaving vacancy in the mid
die, of one inch square; this placed in the
centre OF the apple hole, the end resting on
the apples inside, and the other end project
ing two feet above the ground. This sue
| ceeded far above my expectations. The va
cancy in the chimney was barely sufficient to
permit the foul air to escape, and not so large
as to let the frost in to affect the apples
| My family, during the winter, whenever they
wished to have apples for consumption, only
removed the chimney and reached in with the
hand to get supply, and then replaced it a.
gain; and / can assure you, that of eight
bushels that were thus buried, only three rot
ten and five or six slightly affected apples
were discovered, whereas my neighbors, who
buried their apples in the old fashioned way
lost a large quantity. VIM. J. Ely Err.

Col. Worth, one of the most choice and
valuable officers attached to the army, has just
been ordered to Florida, to take active COM
mand in that inglorious war. He is now
with his family at his residence at Watervliet
but will soon leave, with large body of
troops, for that region. Almost every day
some officer, recently from Florida, may be
seen in this city, with feeble health and ru-
ued constitution. Among them all there is
but one opinion expressed as to the humilia-
ting character and painful nature of the Flor
ida service. Already it has been the grave
OF many of the best officers and soldiers OF
the American army.

OHIO.

This State, which the Feds did not think
OF claiming six months ago, when they
thought they had a better chance for Indiana,
Louisiana, North Carolina, Vermont, Maine,
&C., they now, since these States are lost, set
down as certain for Van. This is necessa-
ny to cypher out a majority for Van at all
and being gentlemen of mathematical ex-
actncss, they always make their calculations
quadrate to the rule of necessity, or the ne
cessity of the case. Col. Dick Johnson, it is
SAID, "a gentleman notorious for his propen-
sity to the fabulous,) has written a letter
here, saying that Ohio is safe by thousands
and tens of thousands. 1t would be pity
to dash the joyous hopes which this informa-
ton has impaired at the "Sweat House,
But we have it from an honorable Virginian,
who has traversed the whole, State on horse
back, and who says, and believes what he
says, that Harrison will carry the State by
such majority, that we almost fear
. name it-by from SO to 75,OOO.-Uhie.

a New IDEA.-The Boston Post, locofo
co paper, announced OH the day before the
great convention was TO take place at Bunker
Till, that the principal bridge leading from
Boston to Charlestown, was in an unsafe
condition. This was intended to prevent the
wings from joining the procession to Bunker
hill The bridge was, however, examined,
and found to be in d safe condition. What

A NEW THEoRY.-Thc cause Of ladies'
teeth decaying at so much earlier state of life,
than those of the other sex, has usually been
attributed TO the friction produced by the con-
slant action Of the tongue. But according to
the editor of the Hartford Courier, Yankee
paper, it is owing to the stceefness Of MG,
lips; as it is fact well established by every
body's saying, that sweet things ruin the
teeth.

quirer, the leading organ of the Coalition in
the South, who now brandishes his old "chape-
less sword with two broken points," and
threatens devastating war upon the conqueror
