ent that, on the 9th of July, Gov. Chase

soliciting that the General Government ad-
dress the authorities of Canada, for the
Bresln, indicted for embezzlement of the
public money of the State of Ohio to
which, on the Sd day of August, Gen.

SALT BARRELS FOR PRESERVING AP-
PLEs.-We have received letter from G..
w. Cooke, Of Waterloo, N. Y, in which
a fact of great importance is related in re-
ference to the preservation of apples. He
purchased five barrels of choice apples
taken from one pile, last autumn; and put
them into his cellar. On the 1st of April
last, when he came to examine them, those
in four of the barrels were mostly all dam
aged, whilst those placed in the other bar
rel was sound, fresh and good. What
was the cause of the preservation of the
apples in this barrel ? Our correspondent
says it was Syracuse salt barrel, and had
contained coarse salt, and he believes this
was the cause of their immunity from rot
He,, at least, can give no other reason.
Neither can we.-Americ0n Farmer.
THE Missouri ELEcT1oN.-The Missouri
Democrat, of yesterday, has official returns
from one hundred counties of Missouri,
and Rollins is A47 ahead, with nine c0un-
ties to come in official. Il is of the opinion
that unless the Stewarttes perpetrate
fraud in the shape of unofficial returns, Mr..
Rollins is certainly elected. The Missouri
Republican has official returns from ninety
eight counties and unofficial from nine, in
all of which STEWART is three votes ahead.
