THE CONTEST FOR SPEAKER.
RECEIVED BY


WASHINGTON, Thursday, Dec 90, 1855.
Banks's vote this morning would have been l03'
higher than ever before but for the absence Of
Mr. Bennett of New. York, and the failure of three
other Banks men to reach the Hall before the vote
was declared. The ensuing dsbate was long and
tedious. The speakers were mainly Democrats
and Southern Americans, each e1bortiug the
otter to come over and help elect Union Saving
Speaker.
Clancy Jones objected to Mr. Fuller that he
was not pledged to apply the principle of the Ne
braska bill TO future Territories Ohio Campbell
asked ii Clancy would apply i. to the present Ter
ritories- Minnesota, Oregon and Washington
CLANCY staggered, but finally said IL thoIe Terri
tories would send Delegates here asking the re.
peal Of the present inhibition Of Slavery, he would
vote to repeal.
The House adjourned, lis to 1OS against, the
latter being Banks men who wanted to close the day
with ballot. l fear there will be no election to-
morrow. ii G.

ILL-CLAD poverty, numbed with cold,

the white snow feeced the frost-harden-
ed ground. But never mind earth's cold
bosom, the rich mans heart doth warm
him, and makes him merry, however

Shiver, shiVer on, beggar-poor Ye

beggar child had seen. Summer clothes

PICKING APPLES.

To pick the apples, you want half
bushel basket with hook attached, so
that 1t may be hung upon limb or lad
der round, while being filed. The bar
rels should be placed as wanted at each
tree, and when the basket is filed, do
not pour them from the top of the bar =
rel as you would basket of potatoe S,
but lower the basket into the barrel, and
then turn it over carefully. You may
think this is slow way to gather apples,
but it will pay much better than to shake
them off.
One man will pick in this way from 1s
to go barrels in a day.
CARE AFTER GATHERING.
When the barrels are filed, they
should not be headed up tight; as 1
have often seen recommended for
there is nothing that will spoil an apple
quicker than shutting it up in close
place without air.
The best way is to leave the barrels
open, but if necessary to head them up,
there should be holes in the sides of the
barrels so they may have free circula-
ton of air. for without it they very soon
lose their taste, and become worthless, if
not rotten.
They should be stored in open sheds,
or other airy places, until there is danger
Of their freezing, when they may be ia
ken to the cellar, which should be kept
cool and airy.
In this way apples may be kept sound
a great length of time. There is gene
rally better market in Spring than Fall,
and if you want apples to eat, it is much
pleasanter to have them sound and fresh
than rotten. l intended to have said
something upon the varieties of apples,
which have proved most profitable to
cultivate in this section, as there is a
great difference. some varieties being
much better than others, but l have al
ready made this much longer than in
tended, and will leave the rest for anoth-
er time. Yours very truly,
GEO. j. COLBY.
