Korristoicn, the seat of justice for Mont- gouiery county in this State, is not in the renter of bomilation. but is the lanrcst and most business place in the county. 1'otls- totcrt, near the north end of the county, is also a thriving town,and witu neiguoonng townships has for some years advocated the division of the county. Uut the political wire-work ters and the capitalists " most do te" at Xorriatown, and the means e use of in'Union county to prej- conprepite sow made udice the Division movement, a there plied most industriously. "It vill increase your Ta'jxtr was the alarm. Aud yet, the Divisionisfs a few years since iu that Democratic county of 1000 majority elected George lliehards, Whig, to the State Senate; they have elected Division Representatives; aud a Whig Senator, (giving the State Seuate to the Whigs probably for two years to come,) aud a Whig Sheriff, were last fall elected by the Division movement. Thus, for many years, has that local question agitated their bocial relations, aud disturbed their politi cal organizations. The old county seat party, however, have kept the ascendancy, and how they arc using it aud how they count from a reccut West Chester II'jhij iican: " The new Court House at Norristown vat commenced it 1850, occupying the whole length of a Mjuare, fronting on three streets.

It was John Pounds, a poor, old, lame shoemaker of Portsmouth, who hrst conceived the idea of Rajriied J who carried it in successful 'practice. A brief account of him is given in a recent English work, entitled "The J''"'0"? of Ragged Schools."

What wonder that they lov ed him, or that when he died and his death was sudden, at the age of seventy two tbe poor children that then formed his class wept, and some of them fainted at hearing tho news." This good old man died in 1839 ; but bis idea lives, and will live, as long as there remains on the earth one neglected, un '.aught child. Thrice honored his memory, Charles H. Comstock, the conductor, who was on trial last week in Connecticut, on a charge of having, through careless ness, caused the awful calamity at the Norwalk drawbridge, on the INew Uavcn Railroad, last May, has bcen acquitted by thc jury. The engineer, who is under arrest on similar charges to those prefer red against the conductor, has not suffic iently recovorcd from the injuries received at the time, to undergo a trial. The Farmer.

By gring to a little expense for fixtures, the labor and trouble would not be much. We all know that our good housewives dry apples, pump kins, huckleberries, &c., for domestic use.

The air rapidly takes up and carries off the moisture. The material is made to take the shape of tubes, (macca roni fashion,) and wheu perfectly dry, is broken iu a proper null into the form of what is called "samp " or "hominy." In deed it might be easily mistakeu for that article made from our common yellow In dian corn. By the same process it has lost nothing but irater. But by that loss it is made to occupy but one-sixth of its original bulk, and what before weighed four jtound. now weighs but one pound, In that condition it can be packed iu tight casks or in tin canisters,and be transported just as easily as so mrch dry rice. Years of trial have proven the unchanging char- acter of tho preparation. Xow then for the use. For Tme pound of it take three prounds of boiling water, or (to speak cookery book fashion) put one tea-spoonful of it into about four tea-spoonfuls of boiling hot water. In ten minutes the water is entirely absorbed, and thc re sult is a wellcocked dlth of mashed potato, ready to be salted and buttered, or dealt with as a like dish made from fresh pota toes mirbt bo. The taste differs tut slightly from that of fresh potato prepared iu thc same manner. e speak advisedly, for we have tried. Though we think any one would prefer to crush for himself a fresh mealy potato, if he were in a condi tion to choose, we have often, within thc last five years, had to bo content with using potatoes tasting not a whit better than the article we are speaking of hardly as good even.

Government ships, whaling vessels, merchant's ships, will all make it a regu lar part of their stores. It will not occu py near the room of ship biscuit, and can be kept in store with less risk of spoiling. We are informed that European vessels al ready make it regularly a part of their stores, when going on a voyages across the) tropics, and that the discovery ships under the charge of Dr. Kane are supplied with it. Travelers across the continent, and inhabitants of those parts of our where the vegetable can no lsd -successfully, find rr -"tola m0bt cn.wuicut one for use. Few persons have any conception of tha amount of nutritive food which can be) raised iu the form of potatoes, where the soil and climate are favorable. Though pound for pouud, less nutritious than wheat or rye, as a whole, no other crop ! ca. i-uual it. Careful experiments haw , felown tbat from the aIu0unt of guit. able ground, where there could be raised, oh the average, 3,400 lbs. of wheat, or 1 5,'JOO lb.-, of peas, there could be raised 33,000 lbs. potatoes ; or, reducing them all to the alioluiefy dry state, for 3,026 lbs. wheat, or 2,080 lbs. of peas, there would be t),5D0 lbs. of potato more than three times the amount of food produced in the shape of wheat, and more than four times that in the form of peas.

Ai'Pi.iis from TREEs.-Apples fall from trees from various causes. It is usual for many more to set, than are brought to per fection ; nature provides that tbe tree shall be relieved of its superfluous burden. Still it is not uncommon that more remain than can reach a full sizo, and become properly ripened. Fruit alo drops prematurely ; fruUi the attacks of insects.

A writer in the Farmer's Companion, published at Detroit, Mich., states that he has for many years preserved his hams, through the summer, in the most perfect coudition, by packing them in barrels, with layers of corn cobs between them, so that the hams would not come in contact with each other. They should be taken out and rubbed dry ouce during thc sum mer. The cask should be placed on a bench or tressel, in a cool, dry cellar.
