ing him; the idea of intellectual power and
trmness would at once suggest ITSELF while
his plain garb but adds to the effect.

stared him in the face, wisely disclosed where and
of whom he purchased the vile stuff that confused

held to answer at the Court of Common Pleas on
appeal.
TueSday-The above named David tried his
hand at disclosing, again, but with i'll success.
He swore that he purchased three glasses OF rum

day, and in turn Mr.. Hazleton put upon the stand
i've witnesses, who testified that he (Hazleton)
was at work during all the hours Of the forenoon

KIND admonition. The females-the great cen
ire of attraction-were furnished with lodgings

Before the Court, Harriet was complained of
for keeping house of i'll fame, and probable
cause was shown that she kept the house for no
good purpose, and was held in $780, to answer
further at the Criminal Court in October. She
was committed in default of ball. her sister syrens
not being sble to obtain the requisite recogni.

II is simply an act Of justice 70 Presidents Polk

pendltuIes was increased by matters growing out
Of the Mexican war.
Snch was the average Of expenditures under
previous administrations, whilst under Pierce,
they increased in 1855 to 1885, 1856 693; in 1856 to
S60, l72 4O2 whilst in 1857, being the frst wear
of buchanan's administration, they had risen to
the enormous sum Of over seventy one millions
q aoiafs. But even this is thrown into the
shade BY the indisputable fact that the appro.
pliations ofthe last session Of Congress amount.
ed TO one hundred millions OF dollars and this,
too in time Of peace and with falling reve.
nue., rendering il all but certain that the public
debt, which on the 9th day OF December last
amounted TO 25,l6l ,l64, will be increased this

AMERICAN PoMoLoGIoAL SOCIETY The re-
cent meeting of this national association, which
was held in New York last week, was one of the
most interesting and important meetings which
the Society hes ever held. The attendance was
large. Delegations with contributions of fruit
we're present from various parts Of the country,
showing an increasing interest in the culture Of
fruit in sections where hitherto but little attention
has been paid to it. The session was laborious
enc, the discussions continuing through the day
and evening. Hon. Marshall p. Wilder, having
held the office of President for eight years, de-
clined e-election, but finally consented to
another term, and was re elected. The next ses-
sion is to be held in Philadelphia in 1850
The reports from the various States show that
great progress is being made in fruit growing.
Among them, those from Oregon Territory and
Georgia excited special notice, from the progress
whicn this branch of industry is making in those
districts.
The address was delivered by President Wilder
and was an able and valuable paper.
