The New Apportionm

We give the following from the Newark Daily
Advertiser showing the representative number of
each State by the ratio of 60 900 and by that of
$1,000. The former numner has been most fire.
quently alluded to in the newspapers the pro5a>
bic basis Of the new appor'ionment but 1t will
appear there serious objections to it OH the
ground that it will leave many large fractions un-
represented in a number of the States. Thus at
6O.000 for a representative, eleven States will be
left with fractions over 10000 each and three
others with fractions of from 10000 TO 10000
By the same standard the following States will lose
representatives, viz. New IIumpshire Connecticut,
Rhode Island Vermont, Maryland, and Tennessee,
each one; South Carolina and Kentucky, each
two; North Carolina. three and Virginia four.
BY the ratio Of $1,000, New York and Pennsyl.
vana, will each gain two members, and Vermont
and Tennessee will preserve their present number !;
while Kentucky, South Carolina, North Carolina,
and Virginia, will lose member less than If the
ratio were at SO 00O. By hi ratio only five States
will have fractions 10000.
The aggregate unrepresented fractions for the
whole Union al the ratio of 10000 would he s47,-
COG; a, $1,000 it would be 6Ss $50. The Ad
verser concludes that the latter ratio will he most
likely to have the preference; and remarks that a
the members of the present Congress will have TO
fix the standard of the representation the vote
ofeach member will probably be Influenced by two
considerations, namely whether a given ratio will
diminish the just weight of his own State, and
whether il will diminish his own chance OF re-elec-
| ton. The latter consideration will operate against
fixing a high ratio which wond materially lessen
the number Of Representatives from any fhe Sta'es.
The West will gain largely, let The ratio be fixed
as it may. Ohio a, the ratio Of 60 900 will gain six
members, at 81 900 she will gain seven. Indiana
and Illinois will each - four or ive--ViIgna
will suffer the greatest dimunilon. She will fall
below Ohio and become the fourth State in the L.
MON. The new infusion fiom the West will he OF

A Good Joke.
Keystone.

Lehgh county our 'ghbors may possibly
know, is perhaps the residence of some of the most
fanatcal and bgoted antimasons in this State
In Heidelberg, Saucon and some other townships,
there arc hundreds of honest men who believe that
the devil is at least royal arch and that few
meetings ofthe grand lodge are held without the
presence of his satanic majesty. When the cele-
brated case Of the Commonwealth VS.. G. A. Sage
was tried, on which Gov. Porter was examined as
a witness, these men, leaders and sll took great
interest in the case, throngcd the court house day
after day as it progressed. The defendent was con-
Governor so completely exposed and refued-that
Judge Banks (his present opponen,) treated the
application of the defendent for new trial, with
the contempt il merited and refused TO grant it, n
which however he was overruled by the two new
learned IN the hp Associate Judges. This con-
duct of Ri,ner's President Judge was SO strange
TO these anmasons that they could only account
for it on masonic princip ipieS-Now ID. r. Porter

Durable Rail wnys.

not merely an "iron ribbed" road but the entire SUI

economy, durability, and beauty, and is the inven
tion Of Mr.. j. Spaulding and Mr. sherwood, pracli-
cal engineers on the New York ard Erie Rail Road.
Two arches, Of ten fee, each, of this invention is
now in on the Ithaca and Owego Rail Roads,
half mile west of this village, over which the reg.
ular trains pass every day. II has also been sub.
jectcd to tests, and a single arch sustained
pressure Of more than twenty TONS We under
stand that branch road from Factoryville in this
county, to the Pennsylvania line, four miles in
length, is forthwith to be constituted on this plan,
and the castings now being made. This inven.
ton is of great importance. 1t will produce an en-.
tire revolution in the construction of Rail Roads, as
it can he bull, cheaper than the common mode, and
its durability is beyond computation, 1t will open
new market for the immense beds of ore with
which our country abounds, and obviate the neces-
sity, now unavoidable, of depending upon England
for rails. All who have examined the piece in ope-
ration are struck with its simplicity, beauty and
strength-its advantages are ncalcuable.-O Oececo

great objection TO The present system Of la

Among professional men. Taking into con-
sideFaIlca The known difference between
active and sedaniary habits 10 their effect
upon the human constitution, no other sat
isfaciory solution Of this can be given than
that the farmer sho,teus life as much By
over exer,ion, as the professional man does
by neglect Of exercise. Indeed, bow often
DO We find farmers at tho age Of forty or

which belong TO those Of three score and
