APPLES AN ARTICLE OF FOOD With
us the value of the apple as an article of
food is far moderated. Besides contain
ing sugar, mucilage, and other nutriment
matter, apples contain vegetable acids,
aromatic qualities, &C., which act pow
erfuiiy in the capacity Of refrigerants,
tonics, and antiseptics, and, when freely
used at the season of mellow ripeness,
they prevent debility, indigestion, and
avert, without doubt, many of the ellis
that flesh is heir to-" The operators of
Cornwall England } consider ripe apples
nearly as nourishing as bread, and far
more so than potatoes. In the year
lS01-which was year Of much scar
city-apples, instead of being converted
into cider, were sold TO the poor and the
laborers asserted that they could "stand
their work" on baked apples without
meat, whereas potato diet required
either meat or some other substantial nu-
triment. The French and Germans use
apples extensively, as do the inhabitants
Of all European nations. The laborers
depend upon them as an article of food,
and frequently make dinner of sliced
apples and bread. There is no fruit
cooked in as many different ways in our
country as apples; nor is there any fruit
whose value as an article Of nutriment
is as great, and 30 little appreciated

after short, but painful Illness which he bore
with true forttude, ROBERT GRAFTON, eld-
est son Of VIZ. r. and ELIzABEfH POMrnREY
aged 3 years and months.
Again has the dread foe to our race invaded
our midst, and seized upon one IN the very

a youth of fine parts, afTabc and kind in his
disposition, and sincere and faithful in his at

dutful son, ever regarding parental authority
with reverence and respect; hini brother,
loved and cherished by the little ones whom he
has left behind to mourn their irreparabe loss
lie was early instructed by religious parents
in the way he should go, and we do believe
that Jesus, who said "suiIer little children to
come unto me-" has taken bis spirit TO dwell

your tears, for the lost one to earth Is housed
in heaven, where you may find him again II
you are but faithful. Requiesca in paee.

TIE BARBECUE AT PooLEsyILLE.-
On Saturday last, we accompanied a
number Of our citizens to the Mass Meet
ing and Festival of the friends of Civil
and Religious Liberty in Medley's Dis
trict, and we but give expression to the
unanimous sentiment of the vast assem-
bly, there convened, when we say that
the arrangements reflected great credit
upon those to whose superintendent
they had been committed; for they were
not only ample, but in the highest de-
gree comfortable to all, not excepting
the many ladies, who were there to en-
courage with their smiles the efforts of
fathers, brothers, husbands and lovers,
in the cause of truth and justice.
When we reached the ground, we found
the meeting organised by such venerable
officers as DIR. WILLIAM BREWER, Col.
ROBERT T. DADE, and others Ofthe same
stamp, and single survey of the dense
crowd in front of the stand assured us
that the right spirit was prevalent in the
six hundred voters, at least, who were
listening with profound attention to one
of those eloquent and argumentative
speeohes. for which Gen. THOMAS +. Bow
lie is so much distinguished.
After dinner, which was served UP in
handsome style, and to which keen APP
petites did ample justice, the crowd again
repaired to the stand to hear an address
from Ex-Governor LOWE. Of this adj
dress we feel cur inability to present even
the faintest outline. Suffice it to say,
that for upwards of two hours, the whole
audience seemed unclaimed by the enrap-
turing eloquence of this gifted orator,
and when he closed, such shout as went
up above the trees of the forest, it has
never been our lot TO hear on a similar
occasion. 1t gives us pleasure to state
that Governor LOWE has consented to
canvass the State in the present contest,
and will attend the Mass Meeting at
Rockville, on the 18th of October next.
No man who desires to take a conscien-
tious and enlightened part in the present
canvass, should fail to furnish himsel!
with the facts and arguments to be de-
rived from this eminent statesman. To
this end, we hope that every voter in the
county will avail himself of the opportu-
nifty on that day. Governor LOWE was
followed by Mr.. RITcHE, ayoung gentle
man from Frederick, in brief, yet forci-
BILE appeal to the people to stand to the
landmarks of the Constitution, and stead
tasty oppose the dangerous innovations
that Know-nothingism seeks to make
upon the polity of our government
The proceedings of the day closed
without a single occurrence to mar their
interest, and with three hearty cheers
for the cause Of Civil and Religious Lib
erty, and its standard bearers in Old
Montgomery.

T HE SEN TIN Ell
ROCKVILLE, MD.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER Is, 1855

GE- 1t will be recollected that the
know-nothing Convention, that met in
Rockville two weeks ago, unanimously
rendered to II. FRANKLIN VEIRs nomi-
nation for the House of Delegates, which
heperemptorily declined. This was justly
regarded by all acquainted with the pre-
vious political history of that gentleman,
as an evidence of the weakness of Know
nothingism in this county. DR.. G. L.
WILLETT was substituted in his place
and not more than one week elapses, be-
fore the DR.. signifies to his friends his
unwillingness to accept the nomination.
Forthwith they issue call for the re-as-
sembling of the Convention on the day
of the Fair. Whether it met or not, we
are not able to say; but we find in their
ticket, as itappears this week, the name
of WASHINGTON BoNIFANT, who was be-
fore the Convention at its regular meet
ing, and was defeated upon full vote
of its members.
We cannot believe that friend BoNI-
FAINT will allew himself to be thus used
as Z" second fiddler" of such party. AS
man of sense, he must see that their
object is to use him, not for any regard
they have for him, but to promote ute
rior designs, with which he can have no
sympathy. Of course, we would not
think of insulting his understanding by
intimating that the hope of election would
induce him to be made the tool of this
faction, when every day brings with it
additional evidence of the certain doom
of Know-notbingism in Old Montgomery.

and democratic friends, that the " Flu.
sionists' in the State of Maine, who, un.
der the name of Republicans" obtained
a signal triumph at the annual election
of last year, were on Monday last as sig.
nally defeated. Governor MORRILL, has
failed of reelection by the people, and
his political adversaries have secured a
majority in both branches of the State
Legislature, upon which the choice of a
Governor will now devolve. 1t is GER
tain, therefore, that he will be super
seeded in Office by one of his late COM
petitors before the people-either SAMU-
Ell WELLS, Democrat, Or ISAAC REED,
Wing.
One of the most prominent issues in
this election was the "Maine Liquor
Law" which was supported by Governor
MORRILL, and his friends, and opposed
by an alliance of Wings and Democrats.
Speaking to this point, the " Eastern
Argus" leading Democratic journal of
the State, says:
" The triumph is all we could wish.
Fusion, fanaticism and Neal DOwism
have gotta death blow in their stronghold.
We do not forget, however, that our
victory is not an exclusive Democratic
triumph. Our noble allies, the straight
Wings, deserve all praise for the gener-
Gus and determined support which then
patriotic love of the Union and their
contempt for the present administration
of our State affairs has induced them tc
render our cause, and with them We
gladly share the honor of our 3access."
The Portland Estate of Maine," {
Wing journal, opposed to the "Repub.
licans," in its number of Wednesday
says:
The returns from the various part,
of the State indicate more complete
and overwhelming rout of the Republi
can party than we had reason to believe
The vote is large beyond any previous
example, reaching probably as high a
ITO, 900 votes. The united vote o
Messrs. Reed and Wells will probabl,
reach 81, 900, while that of Mr.. Morril
will not be far from $4,000. TIL
chances are that Wells will lead Morril
one or two thousand, and that Mr.
Reeds vote will notdiffer much from tina
of last year The present indications
are that it will be from Il 900 to ID,
900.
