n9-A gentleman Of some experience in
the matter suggested to us yesterday that
one cause of apples decaying when buried,
as many have done this year, is because
they are buried too deep. \ thin layer of
straw and earth over them, gives them a
chance for air, which they must have in
order to retain good health.

"My immediate predecessor in the nomi.
nation by the democratic party announced
his determination not to be candidate for
reelection. Coinciding with him in his
views SO well expressed, and so faithfully
carried out, / beg leave to say that no cir.
cumstance can possibly arise which would

brought forward in connection with tho

inclination and sense Of my duty equally
dictate this course"
b. The above extract from letter
written by Gen. Cass, after his nomination
at Baltimore, has been published as a
pledge against his ever running again for
the Presidency. In recent letter, how
ever, that gentleman declares that was not
his meaning, but that in case of his elcc-
ton only should he decline to be again a
candidate. 1t is thus distinctly avowed
that he is again in the field, subject to the

formidable competitor arising, in the per-
son of Gen Samuel Houston.

Such was the record Of the wise Preacher

The last ''inyention" We have learned, is
as follows; \ person wishes to eyade the
law against Lottery Gambling, and to dis
pose Of his property at a good round sum.
He sells tickets, and the game is won by
the parties, blindfolded, guiding 4 wheel
barrow at or near 4 post at a given dis
tance-the one dropping it nearest the
given point, wins. We are informed 4
game OF this kind came off about four
miles from Milton, recently, at which many
men and boys spent time that might have
been more proftably used, and which
wound up as usual, by misunderstanding,
threats of fighting among men of whom
such thing would not be expected, the
Of COW, and a lawsuit in per
,p6c,ivc! The actors in this scene may
have been ''blind" to the fact that it is Il
species Of wheeling around the laws
against gambling, but we doubt whether
men with their eyes open dixie Judge
and jury would look upon it in any other
lirht.

CURIOUS Discovery III ByLGARIA-A
very curious discovery has just been
made in the province oe Bulgaria, in
Turkey. Some Greek workmen, in dig
ging near the village of Rahmanileah
and the town of Hadzah, found a large
table OF grey-colored marble; removed it,
and found one beneath exactly similar;
having removed that also, they saw
great number of objects shining like gold
and silver. They hastened to the Cap.
tain Of the district, and that func!ionary,
assisted by two ecclesiastics, proceeded
to make an examination. They found
the skeleton of man of large stature,
with copper helmet on his head sur
rounded by thin crown of gold; the
hands and the arms up to the elbows
were stained with. something of
bronze color; in the right hand was a
copper chain, with an incense box Of
the same mettle, covered with verdigris;
on the third finger of the left hand was
gold ring, with the figures in Roman
characters, 966. BY the sides of the
skeleton were three cups in silver. very
brilliant. and &c cups in iron, very rusty,
but bearing traces of having been gilded
there were also an immense number Of
nails and about 500 arrows, Of which
the wood was rotten and the points
rusty. The skeleton and the different
articles were carefully packed up, and
sent to Adrianople for examination.
