Il remains to be seen whether they will
paevent the executive sanction, defeat
The location already made, and thereby
hazard the driviss Of the capital entirely
from Fort Demoine, or whether they will
contend themselves 10 hold on TO what
they have gained, and BY securing other
equally advantageous improvements, and
retaining the extensive business already
established, thereby matain the desired
equilibrium.
For our own part. our feelings and
prejudices were strongly in favor Of the
west side Of the river, and # it were pos.
sible we would change the location this
morning: but the committee differing from
US, have seen fit, in view Of securing, in
their opinion, the best interests Of the
State, to make the location on the other
side. That cannot be .hwar,ed now,
without involving the risk of losing for.
ever to US the location Of the capital. The
question, then, - limited to this: The
Capital on the east side CT the river, or
not a. all, in Fort Demoine. Then in
view Of the best interests Of Fort De.

we feel bound to acquiesce in the presen.
state Of the case, when we can no longer
possibly have our choice; and especially
when an attempt to secure that CHI elce

THE GREENINC APPLE.

The Rhode Island Greening Apple. so call
ed, is large, fair apple, Of greensh color,
is ripe late in the fall, and is the best apple,
perhaps, Of any 10 this country. II has pleas
ant aud agreeable acid. and is an excellenl eat
ing fruit, from Christmas, as long as il can be
Kept, which 10 some cases, has been until the
summer following. 1t is now extensively col
tivatcd in the Eastern aud Middle States, and,
we believe, everywhere bears the name Of Rhode
Island Greening. Generally, it is not so per-
feet a fruit anywhere else as on this island and
its vicinity, especially on the eastern side Of the
bay.
This fruit was frs, discovered on this island
according to tradition, which we had from the
family of Green man named Green kept
an inn, which stood nearly where the house Of
Joseph !. Bailey now stands, in Middle,own,
just 10 the norlhward Of the bridge that crosses
The brook, soon after you enter what is called
the East Road. This inn, in the early times
OF the colony. was a common resort for pleasure
parties from Newport. At that place the afore
said apple was found, among the natural fruit
aud soon became well known for its SUPERIOR.
ty, and was called Green's Ina Apple, by which
: ""'"N ~ w oD Odiltug huAlt " hilbH'
variation in pronunciation, the vulgar name o
Greening Apple, was substituted. This fFui
has ever since gone by the name Of Greenins
Apples and wherever it is produced, out Of it'
State OF Rhode Island. it is uniformly called
Rhode Island Greemng
The keeping" qualities Of this apple de
pends upon the locality, soil, and climate wher,
grown. In New England, especially 10 the
mountainous district, upon high, graveIly, anc
moderately rich soil, i, grows slowly, Iipen
late, and keeps long time-even till the fol
lowing spring or summer-whle those Of ,h'
same variety grown farther Sonlh, or in tn
deep, rich soil of the West, or upon the shore
of the great lakes, are much more tender an,
juicy, ripen earlier, and will not keep SO long
