Apples, as an Article of Food. The importance of apples, as food, has not hitherto been sufficiently estimated in thia country nor understood. Besides contributing a larjj? proportion of sugar, muctafcf, "nd other nutril.' '"""' in lhe form of food, they contain wen fine combination of vegetable acids, extractive instances, nnd aromatic principle?, F'th ihe nutritive matter, as to act powerfully in the capacity of refrigerants, tonic and antiseptics ; and when freely used at the season of ripeness, by rural laborers and others, ihey "present debility, strengthen digestion, correct the putrefactive tenden cies of nitrogenous food, avert scurry, and probab'y maintain and strengthen the powers of productive labor." The operators of Cornwell, in England consider ripe apples nearly as nourishing as bread, and more so than potatoes. In the year 1801, a year of scarcity, app'e -,in-stead of being converted into cider, were sold to the poor ; and the laborers asserted thut they could stand their work on baked apples, without meat ; whereas, a potato diet required either men! or fifth. The French and German use apples ex'ensively ; indeed, it is rare that they sii down in the rural districts, without them in some shape even at the best tables. The laborers and mechanics depend on thcm.to a very great extent, as an article ol food, and frequently dine on sliced ap ples and bread.

A man apparently about 25 years of age, came to this place, (says the Muncy Lu cninary) on Tuesday evening last, with a young erf am colored marc, and put up at the hote'. of Samuel R. Reed, stating lhat he was from Buffalo. The fact of his having nothing but a blanket upon the an imal to ride upon and a patched up bridle, ami his being exceedingly anxious to sell her for about half her value excited the suspicions of several of our citizens, that he :,s a horse thief. During ihe evening sevi nil questions were asked him, which he could not answer as readily as an honest man should have douc, and per ceiving that he was suspected proposed leaving. The landlord in order to test his honesty informed him that there was a man in town looking for such an animal as he had. The right nail was struck. The fellow s'.eppcd to tne door and that was the last that was seen of him. leaving the mare in the possession ot Mr. Reed. ' But he was not to be thus outdone. The same night he stole a bay mare, saddle and bridle, from the stable of Mr. Peter Flock residing about 4 miles above this Borough. He wns pursued, urrested near the Block House, and is now in lail at Williamsport. Sad Disaster.

The communication entitled " Another Year is Gone," does not rise above the level of stale mediocrity, and is therefore declined. The Dawning Of each New Year's Day brings freshly up the experience of the past, and the hopes of the future ; and the realities of the one, and possibilities of the other, center with vivid, solemn force upon the passing hour. At such a moment, man's doings and man's destiny press closer in upon his thoughts, and, rightly pondered, chasten and elevate hi aims and hopes. The sor rows that unsealed the heart's deep foun tains, have fallen in performance of a mer ciful but mysterious mission ; the sins entered upon the eternal record, stand forth as fresh beacons of warning and remon strance ; the blessings scattered bountifully along life's pathway challenge anew the houiaga and adoration ever due from de pendent mortals to Divine Beuificencc. Bearing away then, a salutary and impres sive moral from the closing year, and leav ing the Mead past to bury its dead;' turn we to the comiug twelve-mouth. If your ! lines have been cast in pleasant places, and j the sunlight of prosperity brightens your homes, remember the source from which j alone it comes, and freely dispense of your never fall and sorrows never come. It poverty pinches, and misfortunes crush you, bear np with martyr-faith, and howe- j ver keen the pang, or overwhelming the, calamity, M Prink ihf draught, ami irare the torture Ermn in dt-gpatr. v. t'l-I1 most 0f mankind, the life-tasks are too . heaw and endurine. to permit them to turn heavy and enduring, to perm aside into pleasant bowers, and shut out ! thebusy world, and its exacting claims. Manifold duties crowd hard upon trme's footsteps, straining exhaustingly upon the energies of heart and brain for their fulfil ment. And the burden and heat of the day must be bornc,with unblcnching coan tcnancc, and unfaltering faith. The iron hand of destiny, and the lofty heroism of Christian principle, impel resistless!- to the ever-multiplying toil sore trials in secluded paths, stem contests on bold forums where even stoic courage and nerves of steel recoil in discomfiture. Whether hopeful and victorious, or weary and faint hearted, the stream of lifo sweeps onward with its heavy currents, unmindful of the fields of green and groves of balm that woo the voyager to repose bearing steadily on to the appointed hour, in the new year, or in after tims, when the 'faithful over a few things' shall sweetly sleep where the wicked cease from troubling and the weary are at rest.' Chamherlin's Journal. According to promise, we this week commence the publication of Mr. Chain berlin's California Journal. These Notes were taken with a pencil at the end of ev ery day, and the Journal afterwards writ ten out and sent home for the gratification of friends. It may be erroneous in some slight particulars, but we give it as we find it written, only omitting some matters of no general interest. When the youth of the writer and his toils on the way are taken into account, the Journal will be pronounced a highly creditable production, aud we arc confident will be found to pos sess as deep interest as any similar record of the experience and adventures of over land pilgrims to the modern El Dorado. Mr. C. gives a plain and unvarnished and evidently faithful narrative of the progress of the Lcwisburg Californians on their weary and perilous route of travel ; toge ther with descriptions of scenery, soil, cli mate, productions, Indians, Mexicans, &c &c, with many little incidents not gener ally noticed by old campaigners and scien tific explorers, that impart a fresher, deeper j interest to the Journal, especially to those who are personally acquainted with either of the little band of adventurers. Some portion of their route lay through regions never before trod by civilized white men, thus enabling them to make valuable additions to the geography of the country. The parts of the Journal published this week, going mostly over the beaten track, are of less interest than those hereafter to be given an interest which will be found to steadily increase to the close. And when our readers shall have followed the party, step by step, along the dreary road from Fort Smith to Santa Fc ; thence down through the scorched and blasted region of the Gila river,with its fierce rapids, impas sible narrows, and terrific mountain passe?; across the trackless desert of the Colorado; and along the Dead Sea desolation of the western shore of theTule Lakes; and have thus gathered a detailed account of their appaling privations and suffering?; we think they will agree with ns in the opinion that it is matter of exceeding wonder that they did not, perish by the way, and that when they at length reached the mines, they did not sink into their graves, instead of endea voring, feeble and exhausted as they were, to realize the object of their journey across the continent. All who wish to have the Journal complete, should send in thcir'subst-riptions without delay, as we shall not print many extra copies. Those who wish to take the Chronicle merely for the sake of the Jour nal, can accomplish their object hysubseri-J bing for six months ; 'or we will send all the No.'s containing the Journal, with the Map of the route (which will be read- soon) for 75cts. a single subscriber, or 50 ets. each for two copies or over the cash to be paid in alvan-c.

Home happiness is deeper and truer, and richer zest is imparted to fireside pleasures. The hand of charity opens wider, the heart of benevolence bcats'moro warmly, the ties of a common brotherhood arc more readily recognize!, and the obli gations of fraternal duty more promptly honored. Those who will, may realize that 'it is more blessed to give thau to receive.' Then the transition from nan's inner life of manifold pleasures to the attractive unarms ol the external world, carries with it no pang of regret or self-reproach ; but each is attuned in harmony with the other.

Jgr-Some patient genius of Lockport (near Lock Haven,) has counted the num ber of rafts that have passed that place during the passed year. He 6ays there were 1057 rafts, which, allowing 300 feet for the total length of each raft, would reach 04 miles. Allowing them to be worth $400 on an average, there whole value was ?GG4,800 ; and with three hands to each, employed 4971 men to conduct them to port.
