In harvesting apples, especially those in
tended for winter, they should be carefully
picked by hand in bright clear weather. All
bruises are not only injurious as tending to
decay, but they render the fruit partially
worthless. Some fruit growers pick their
fruit the last Of September, before complete
y ripe, and allow it to shrivela little before
packed in barrels, as it will keep well under
this treatment. Such fruit is not equal in
quality to that yell ripened on the tree. In
very warm locations, winter fruit is frequent
y ripe by the last of September. Most fruit
growers allow their winter apples to remain
on he trees until October, and become thor
pughly ripe.
After picking the fruit, pack carefully in
barrels, and head up closely. The following
Is the mode Of management in this section:
The barrels are piled up horizontally in cool,
open sheds, or in the shade of trees or build
ings, and sometimes in open space, covered
with boards laid over the barrels, to keep off
he sun and rain, and allowed to remain out
Till November, till there is no danger of their
freezing. Apples thus managed will escape
a severe frost. The thermometer may be
ten Of twelve degrees below freezing, or the
weather Geld enough to freeze half an inch
thick. We have known apples to escape
when the thermometer was twenty degrees
below freezing; but there is a risk in leaving
them out IN o cold weather. When the
weather becomes too cold for them tobe safe
out Of doors, put them in q cold cellar
Some fruit growers put them into the cellar
Immediately after harvesting. Whether ap
pies are put into the cellar early or late, tn
cellar should be well ventilated in clear wea
tber. sbeu the wind is north or west; bu
keep shut up closely when the wind is j
other directions. This should be practise
even ID winter. when there is no danger
freezing.

The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral
worth and professional requirements, will compare

try. The medical faculty constitutes an anomaly
in this or any othtr counlry--all OF them are able
lecturers and the best of teachers.
Those who will contemplate our geographical
position, and the extent of our popu alton, can have
no doubt as TO tho eligibility ofouI situation for an
enterprise of the kind. As to health, including
all seasons OF the year, We deny that ANY OTHER
CITY HAS MORE.
A c. mmon error exists in the minds OF many
students relative 10 the placc."f studying medicine;
those who intend practcIng among The diseases oI

II has been already announced that Governor Nc
Dowell, of Virginia, has been compelled by domes-
tic affection 10 decline the invitation given him by
union of parties in Springfield 10 deliver an Grafton
here on the Fourth of July. The invitation of the
Committee of Arrangements was, sent by Mr.. Ash
num- who accompanied itwith letter addressing his
earnest wish for acceptance, and an assurance
of general and cordial welcome among our people
On Saturday last ae following letter received in
reply and it is no risk TO say that it cannot but be
read with emotion and interest by every son and
daughter of Massachusetts. If it be thought that
some liberty is taken in thus giving publicity to
ladys letter. the excuse is to be found in the desire
that the Just sentiments which are so beautifully ex-
pressed in it may find a more ready access to the
heart by knowledge of the source from which they
come. Surely, surely the foul spirit of Disunion will
feel itself rebuked, and the heart of true patriotism
be warmed by the noble language of this Virginia,
this American lady:
WASHINGTON, June III, 1851.
Hon. Mr.. AsHMUN-Dear Sir: The letter of
invitation from the twenty-five citizens of Springfield,
together with the from yourself, urging the ac-
ceptance of that invitation, received by my
father, Governor Mcdowell, this morning; but, as
he is untitled by great anxiety account OF the eX
reme illness of of my sisters TO return suitable
reply either TO yourself or TO the committee he has
requested me- by way of answer TO both to state TO
you the circumstances in which he is placed and TO
ask of you the favor to lay the statement before the
committee.
Your letters have found him watching beside the
sick bed of beloved child, whose health which has
been source of the deepest anxiety with him for
many months past has recently and rapidly COM
petely sunlen under the power of pulmonary disease
as 10 Justify his worst fears in regard 10 her. and 10
leave him in great distress and hopelessness TO await
its fatal termination, which cannot be far distant
Thus crcumstanced, he has neither mind nor heart
for anything beyond his own home. Dear as the
public good is to him, secured as he believes il only
can be by preserving Union it is, and delight
ed as Southern man and Virginian, as he would
be to unite with his Northern brethren of Massachu-
sets, in endeavoring TO restore heathful state Of
feeling this momentous subject, TO all parts of oul
country; yet at present, he do nothing but ten
der his thanks TO the citizens of Springfield for thei
fattering notice of him, and TO express the hope that
as in the past the great commonwealth of Virginia
and Massachusetts found side by side, bat
Ting with united hearts and hands for the common
good of their common country, so in the future they
may go cordial and united ever, finding no
thing in sectional in party feelings strong enough
TO break the tie which binds them TO their Natona
Union and TO each other. Very respectfully,
SALLY G. p. MCDOWELL.
