The importance of apples, as lood. (re

this country nor understood. Besides con
tributing a Urge proportion of sugar, mu

that they could slind their work on bikej

Boston and Cambridge, he has always u-
joved an unusual popularity. His musical
talents are of a high order, and tits done
much to elevate the standard of musical
taste in Boston, tils bouse has been rlis

when, surrounded by a angularly
lovely f.iim! v. he hasnpeared iu M J )V ihe

a mild, kind and unassuming disjiosiiion,

Pigl Pen Nuisances The law against
creating or main'aining nuisances of this
c'iinrncter was recently laid down in the
Ph::a Ii !h.a Court of Quarter Session by
Judge Parsons, in charging the jusy rtn
i,-nneled in (he case of a man wha was
on triiil fur keeping a pig pen.
Ttie Judge took the bro id ground,' thai
no man has a rinht so ! occupy his pro
perty 'as to incommode or annoy h's netgh
tnr I. had becri decided, he said, in the
Supreme Court of this State, by Judge
Sergeant, that the kj-epin r.f one pig hi a
pen in a thickly populated neighborhood,
was per e (of itself) a nuisance. Former
ly, n was su'iixised, iat it n ust be proven
.letrimen'al to the health of the neighbor
hood to make it a nui-unce ; hut .within
the last 25 years a more liberal construc
tion had been given to the law in relation
to nuisances, and it w ts now si lti -lent that
the business complained of. should be an
novmg to the citizens residing in its IockI
if v, or who were in ihe habit 'f pushing
along the high road near which it was es
tablish) d.
A convention of iron maufacturers as
sembled at Pittsburg a few weeks since, lo
discuss ihe subject of duty on pig and com
mon merchant bar iron. Various propo
sitions were offered and debated, when
Geo. R. Clanp otleied ihe following as a
substitute for al! others, which was unan
imously adopted :. " ,
Resolved That it is the, sense of this
Convention, nl the present state of th for
eign market, that it will require a duty of
$10 per ton on common bar, and a cor
responding increase .n all otlMtr Iron. in
proportion lo cost of make, to protect ibe

It is io contemplation to place a line of

the Susquehanna river to Northuinbeiland,
then up the West Branch to Williamaport,

Wilkes Barre.Piitston, This is a very
important subject for the counties and town
along these lines ; it is therefore desirable
ibat they take the subject into considera
tion, and prepare themselves to aid the en
terprise by a liberal subscription to the
stock of t he company , as they w ill be called
upon shortly tor that purpose. All the
towns on these routed where stations may
be placed are deeply inteiested.
Telegraphic connections are daily lie
coming more numerous, and as they are
all paying a very liberal per-cenlage to the
stockholders, we da not think that capital
ists and business men whose vicinities iho
above connection is to embrace, can di
themselves and the public greater benefit
than by contributing liberal' v towards iia
construction. Pa. TtU
