A journey through the six New England
States and a portion of New York reveals the
fact that the apple crop is equally abundant in
all quarters. The trees everywhere are loaded
with this staple fruit. Along the Hudson from
Troy to Poughkeepsie, it is nearly the same as
in Connecticut the apple trees are loaded. In
some of the towns about this city the trees are
kept from breaking down by props and stays.

ALMOST A DROWNING CASE. - The engineer of
the Steamer Celerity, while leaning over the rail
to draw bucket of water, about II o'clock
this morning was thrown into the river by the
rail giving way, owing to its not having been
fastened in its place. Being unable to swim, he
would have drowned, but for the presence of
mind of the Pilot, who, hearing his cries for
help, threw him life preserver, just he was
going down for the third and last time. This
enabled him to keep his head above water until
a rope was thrown him when he was landed none
the worse for his bath The fireman of the
steamer also jumped in to his assistance but
would have been too late to have saved him, had
not the life-preserver been thrown.
