the strongest of them are weak and faacious in

"When Philadelphia was first laid out by Penn
the "city' embraced but eight squares on the
Delaware, and running straight through to the
Schuylkll. AS the suburbs known as South
wark, Moyamensing, Northern Liberties, &C., be-
came densely populated, they were successfully
incorporated with the city. Subsequently the
villages of Germantown, Frankfort, West Phila-
pha, and several others in the county becoming
large and populous it was found advisable to alb
sorb the whole.
'This act was accomplished years ago, and at
this day the city of Philadelphia contains thous-
ands Of acres of farm lands that will remain farm
land only for many years to come. During the
agitation of the question of extension there was
the usual old fogy opposition to aay new de-
parture," aud the representations OF the dread
full evils that would result from it were very
alarming However, when the matter was accom-
plished, and the whole county became vast city
under homogeneous government, it was found
to work very we'll; the intrdnstgentes Gained
posal for retrocesson would meet with no favor.

The CASE OF DAVIS, THE MURDERER OF LYNN.

The CASE OF DAVIS, THE MURDERER OF Lynn
Tho Hagerstown Herald and Torch Of this week
says: Davis counsel have succeeded in obtain:
ing from Judge Alvey an order for the removal
OF the record, 'sas upon writ Of error" to the
Court of Appeals. The application for the writ,
among other things, states that the indictment
does rot with legal suficiency slegs any kind of
wllful, deliberate and premeditated killing, and
that the Grand Jurors who found the indictment
were linen of Baltimore county" The Judge
had some doubt whether the application complied
with the rule regulating appeals from courts OF
law, but finally concluded to order the allowance
of the writs, leaving the Court of Appeals to de-
tsrmine whether it is proper.
t'We gather the above facts from the petition
Of Messrs Maulsby and Edwards, Davis counsel,
and the order of Judge Alvey, as we fad them
published in the Daily News Whether there is
law enough in this application to induce the
Court of Appeals to order a new trial, or to set
Davis free, we can't tell, but the aspect Of bic
ease looks considerably brighter than it did q
month ago."

steep it in halt pint OF water, after which
strain in quart of molasses, adding little
vinegar boil all together to a thin syrup; use
this whenever the throat feels dry or disagree
