ter I'LL the editorial chair. DR.. Mcdonald IS

The newspaper that values the politician
above the press does not worthily represent
its guild. depreciation of the opposition
paper is always taken cum gran0 sails, and
should, therefore, rarely be INDUCED in. A
newspaperc cannot belittle another newspaper
without impairing its own influence. These
be truisms, yet some people never seem able
10 comprehend them. Dignity and decency
are still valued in the world, bad as it is.
We had the pleasure a few day ago of
looking through the apple house of Mr..
! Charles n. Meet. 1t contains an extra fine
lot of apples, 2,4OO bus heels in all, of the best
varieties, and very neatly sorted and binned.
The varieties are Ben Davis, Jennetings,
Huntsman's Favorite, Willow Twig, New
town Pippin, ,Winesaps, Nonesuch, Smiths
Tavorite, &c. The bin of Ben Davis is
the handsomest collection of one kind Of
apples that we have ever seen. Mr.. Meet
has certainly displayed judgment in the Sc
lection of the apples, and industry in care
fully storing them.
The poetry column this week is worth
reading. We were about to say peculiarly
SO, but that would hardly be fair as it is never
permitted to contain anything that does not
possess some merit of morals, wit, wisdom
or emotion, but this time, beside two beauti-
full fugitive pieces. "a Fancy" and "Fortune
my Foe' it has a profound, soul-stirring poem
In blank verse by the Rev. L. P. Bowen. The
fact that Mr.. Bowen preached at the Presby-
terrain church in this city, morning and night,
4 Sunday or two ago, very acceptably, to
large congregations, renders the publication
Of his verse particularly opportune. We may
print one or two more of his poetical COM
positions soon.
