to the fact, that the first edition ran out, and

sB Thirty years ago, man named Plumer,
living in Maine, burnt the mill of a relative out
of revenge. He was detected, stabbed the officer
attempting to arrest him, and fed to the Isle Of
Holt, on the coast of Maine, dug cave, and sup
ported himself by hunting and fishing. There
he lived many years, unseen by any human being
In 1850 he left his retreat and went a begging
until September when he died at Montville, 81
years old. His appearance was most strange
hairy and bearded. He looked like an old

A SENSIBLE VIEW OF THE GOSSIP ABOUT WAR
WITH ENGLAND-The financial and commercial
editor of the New York Herald thus sensibly
discourseS fs.f .. ..l. .-t,.t.g r--.--.
All the efforts of the Governments of the Uni
ted States and Great Britain to involve the two
countries in a war must be futile, SO long as the
most important interests of the people are so
identified The industrial classes are not affect
ed by the long drawn out, long winded negotia-
tons of few officials. The farmer does not
stop his plough, or the artisan his machine, be-
cause there is an issue between his government
and another, upon points which could be ADJUST
| ed nv wise and sensible men in a short time, to
the satisfaction of all. The industry and enter
| prise of the country cannot be arrested because
| diplomatists disagree about the construction OF
| a treaty. The seasons come and 60, crops are
sown and harvests mature, regardless OF the lies
and bubbles of cabinet ministers. Vessels ar
rive and DEPART loaded with the products OF
every cline, without apprehensions of any inter
ruption in our commercial intercourse with ma
| tons. The public mind cannot be induced to
believe in the possibility of a rupture growing
out of the triing points at issue, but it must be
! prepared for long and tedious agitation Of the
1 most unimportant matters; for the most violent
announcement OF each party by the press of both
countries, by all sorts of elimination and re-
elimination, by the use of every effort to arouse
the pride and petty prejudces of'the people in
/ terested, on both sides OF the Atantic-al to
end finally in an amcable settlement of all diff
eultes, in an adjustment of all questionslpresent
and prospective, and the re-establish1nent of
peaceful relations until it suits the government
of either country to raise again an issue requir-
/ ing the rehearsal of similar scenes 1t is time
for people to place these matters in the proper
| light. A war between the United States and
! Great Britain is almost an impossibility. The
people have the issue in their own, hands, and
are prepared to assume the powers when neces-
sary. Public opinion is the great regulator, and
when necessary it acts decisiyely..o There is a
point beyond which. thefgovernments of either
country cannot pass without the consent and
sanction of the people, but that point has not
been approached. We are probably as near it
I now as our rulers dare move, and at the present
Stance all their negotiations and correspondent

the;, dan ais aud admissions, are harmless, and

cal 'aema goeues which every country of any i'm
