Forbidden Fruit.

NJ. Noel, French agriculturist, spea-
king of the introduction OF the potato
into France says:
This vegetable was viewed by the
people with extreme disfavor when first
init oduced, and many expedients were
adopted to induce them to use it, but
without success. In vain did Louis XVI,
wear its flowers in his buttonhole. and in
vain were samples Of the tubercle dis.
tributed among the farmers; they gave
them to their pigs but would not use it
themselves. At last Parmentier. the
chemist, who well knew the nutritive pro-
perties Of the potatoe, and was most
anxious to see it in general use. hit upon
the following ingenious plan: He plan
ted a good breadth Of potatoes at Sanblons
close to Paris, and paid great attention
to their cultivation. When the roots
were nearly ripe. he put notices around
the field that all persons who stole any
Of the potatoes would be prosecuted with
the utmost rigor Of the law, and gendare-
mes were employed to watch the field
day and night. and arrest all trespassers
No sooner were the new roots thus for.
bidden, IS it we're, by authority, than all
persons seemed eager to eat them, and
in fortnight. Notwithstanding the gen,
darmes. the whole crop was stolen, and
without doubt eaten. The new vegeta.
ble having been found to be excellent
food, was soon after cultivated in every
part Of the kingdom.

The FiTcmeh'ST ~ Sahuusky
City-.-A Sad Accident!
The annual tournament Of the fremer
Of the State was held at Sandusky city or
the 18th inst. Quite serious accident
occurred during tho day. The 'local' o.
the Cleveland Herald aludes to it as fol.
fows:
The morning opened finely giving
promise Of a beautiful day and every.
thing looked fair. but at $50 A. N. one
OF those frightful accidents occurred
which frequently attend large gatherings
Of the people, to remind us that death is
ever present. The balcony OF the West
House, on the north side, some thirty feet
in length and seventeen feet high, bold
ing about twenty people, came down with
q crash, carrying those upon it to the
pavement beneath. 1t was sight to
to appall the stoutest heart. Strong
hands in stantly sprsng to the relief Of the
victims, and some were found fortunate
enough to escape with slight injuries.
while others will carry through life me.
mentoes Of mistaken and criminal econo-
my that permits some to put up siruc'
lures that are Unsafe for the use inten-
ded.
The wounded were carried to rooms in
the house above, while messengers were
despatched for physicians. .apd everything
requisite was done for the manned sui.
fgrers. After the wounded bad received
the attention Of medical men. we visited
them to learn the extent Of their inju
res. and made the following list;
W. W. Wales Clyde, right thigh bro
ken, Mrs. Wales, bruised; VIM. Ormes,
Tiffin, fracture of wrist, internal injuries,
and various bruises: Levi Taylor; Tlfin,
compound fracture of elbow, Mr.. Taylor
was standing by his lady, and they both
fell; she was somewhat injured, but not
seriously. Mrs. Black, Vermillion, slight
)y injured James Costine, Bellefontaine
several ribs broken and spine badly in
jured; Miss Minny, Tffin, badly crushed.
Her chest is completely broken in, and it
is feared that she will not recover. Mr..
Hustle and John Ross, Of Sandusky, were
slightly injured.
Perhaps it is proper to say that Mr..
West the proprietor OF the hotel and own
er Of the building, tried to keep people
from going on the balcony, deemipg it
unsafe. but the windows being open, and
a company passing at the time with mu-
sic, they crowded upon the balcony, and
with their weight caused the cast iron
brackets supporting it to break. When
we visited the wounded, we found them
receiving the attention Of skillul physi-
cians,and Mrs. West particularly active in
ministering to their wants.

Too True.

We make the following extract from
an article recently published in the Ohio
Statesman:
And in almost every county may be
found Office holders, who eat the bread and
enjoy the ease OF Offices, which they OBJ
tanned through the exertion Of their local
editors, who gave them the cold shoulder
as soon as elected; and stintinglv and be-
grudgingly give them the least possible
amount Of aid and comfort through Off
cial patronage. An editor takes the front
rank in battle--he is a target for the
shots Of the enemy--and bis toilsome
days and sleepless nights Of head and
hand work, are too lightly appreciated
by those most benefited by bis labors.
Our own experience is verifcation o.
the truth Of the above. We have no ev
idence that any man whom we have help
ed to elect to Office in this county has ev
er even asked neighbor to subscribe fol
the Pioneer" and some 60 SO far as te
buy tho blanks they use in Cleveland ane
other large towns. This lis wrong--if gen
tlemen expect the local press to help then
to Office, they should in return show SOM
disposition TO encourage and support tn
/, press.
