A PATRIOTIC Mother.

We have received the following cOmmuni-
cation from q gentleman in the recruiting
service Of this State; so far as heard from, -
it is ahead of anything yet published. We
give the letter and incident as related en-
tire:
WILLIAMsPoR7, Pa, Aug. 20, 1862.
Mr.. ED1ToR:-Your notice, in this morn
ing's issue, of the very commendable spirit
manifested by Patriotic Fathers" in furnish
lug men for the army, aud among those nam
ed, gentleman from Bradford county, has
reminded me of a Patriotic Mother, residing
in same county, equally entitled to notice in
your columns, and no less patriotic than those
mentioned.
At the conclusion Of a spirited war meet
ing held in one of the district of said county,
not far from the thriving village of Alba, call
ed for the purpose of raising volunteers, a
few evenings since, a lady arose in the audi
ence and asked permission to make few re-
marks. This being land of free speech, Of
course permission was readily granted, and
the lady proceeded:
"I nO,O hare sir sons tn the army Of the PO-
tomae, and only lgish had kuo,Un this 10ar
ts0eaty gears ago, IaOould hare had siT more
there nOlg"
It is useless to describe the applause that
Immediately ensued suffice it to say, we had
no difficulty in raising the number of recruits
expected, that evening, with all thanks to the
noble spirit of that noble-hearted mother-

An EXTRAORDINARY THEoRY-A foreign
Journal, in an article against the punishment
of death publishes the following curious de-
tails: When at the end of the last century
the terrible machine of DR.. Guillotin made its
appearance, it gave rise to great controversy
among the faculty throughout Europe. The
inventor pretended and believed that death
by his instrument was easier than by any 9TH
er means, and that the rupture Of the vertebra,
the nerves, and all the organs of the head
killed the whole body at once and instantan-
eously. Several experiments were made at
Vienns. Some poisonerNwers to be execu-
ted, and several medical men, who had already
disputed the correctness of the statement of
DR.. GuilIotin, obtained permission to remain
on tho scalTold during the execution, and when
a head was cut off it was delivered to them.
The first was that of young man. The eyes
were closed and the tongue protruded. Eight
minutes were allowed to expire, when the
tongue was pricked with pin, when it was
drawn in, and the face made griEace, in
dcative of pain. The second was that of 4
woman. The eyes were open, and their sup
pIcacing looks were accompanied By many
tears. Fourteen minutes after the execution
the eyes turned towards the side from whence
the woman's name was called. A third head
was that of the most guilty of the criminals
A clap was given to the face, when the eyes
opened, the face flushed with an indescribable
expression of anger and ferosity, and a shud-
der of anguish was visible on the neck being
touched"

cannon mingled with the frantic huzzas Of the

A MIDNIGHT ADYENTCRE.-ln connection
with the garden robberies that have been rife
in the neighborhood OF Newcastle of late, a
dron circumstance occurred the other night
An elderly gentleman, theprOprietor of gar
den, having long observed with feelings ofin-
dignation and dismay that his fruit became
nightly smaller by degrees and unbecomingly
less, had come to the conclusion that, unless
steps were at once taken to secure the depre-
dators, ultimate measures would be fruitless
He resolved, therefore, to watch his garden
himself and one night (having fortified the
inner man with sundry potations) he shut
himself in his garden house to await the ex-
pected marauders. Bacehus and Morpheus,
however, combined against Pomona and
Argus, and the old gentleman fell asleep
Hours Jagged slowly on with his spouse at
home, until, at late period Of the evening,
that good lady proceeded in search of her hus-
band Not finding him in any other place,
she concluded that he must be in the garden,
but on seeking an entrance there she found
the door securely IoeLed. She then attempt
ed to climb the wall, and had nearly accom-
pIished the feat, when 10 a policeman, who
had been, like Mr.. -, watching for the
thief, fondly thinking that bis time had come,
eagerly pOunced upon the supposed depreda-
tor. In vain did Mrs. - demonstrate; it
was not until her screams aroused the dor
mant faculties of her watehful lord that any
prospect Of release from the fangs of the law
appeared. At length, however, the lady was
liberated, and Mr.. - and the policeman
proceeded to refresh themselves after the fati-

This destruction Of property, to

does not receive the approval ct

bridge at the extreme country
end of a railroad, while one in

RYE COFFEE.

An extract in your paper Of
Thursday, signedd. J Roberts, M
D., taken from the LAGRANGE Re
porter, contains two such grave
errors that we cannot refrain from
correcting them, particularly as
many persons who uge rye as q
substitute for coffee might be
frightened out of an innocent be-
verage. g
! The extract says: ssThe grain
when burnt contains fifty per cent
Of ;phosphoric acid" Now I'M
scientific people. would suppose
this to mean when parcaed. We
suppose the Doctor intended the
ash of the grain. What is the
true analysis of rye according to
the best authorities? 1000 pounds
produces only l0a pounds of. ash;
and of this 10a only OILS Of
a pound. is phosphoric acid; not
quite half a pound to 1000 pounds
of the grain, and not quite 5 per
cent. of the ash instead Of upwards
Of SO pc: cent; being not quite
one-Gfth of one per. cent. Of the
solid grain. Besides, the Doctor
forgets that not one particle of the
earthly salts is probably held in So
luton by common weak. decoc-
ton of the rye; and if the whole
grain was swallowed there would
only be the medium amount Of
phosphoric acid contained in
wheat and other cereals, just
about enough to make bone instead
of destroying it.
The effects of rye, or the phos-
phoric acid in it, Oh utero-gesta-
ton, is equally fallacious and
quite as grave an error. 1t is the
ergot of rye that produces abor-
ton, not the common, healthy
grain used for coffee. It is long,
black, sinking grain, easily distin-
guished from the other, and only
occurring under certain unfavora-
BILE circumstances. The common
rye is quite as innocent as wheat
or coffee in this respect.
Will the papers we have seen
it in several, which published the
extract give this an insertion?

BURNING CITIES.

An instance of the folly Of de-
stroying cities by the hands of
their own Inhabitants, has occurred
within a very few years, and
should be a rebuke and lesson to
those who advocate the insane pol
icy Of destroying our own habita
tons.
When the allied troops besieged
and captured S,bast6pol in Sep
TENDER, 1855, the Russians, infa-
ted by the notoriety their fathers
had obtained by the burning of
Moscow, set fire to, or blew up
nearly every building i'll their Sub
urbs before retreating. Conse-
quently, when peace was declared,
a few months after, a heap of UNI
slightly and uninhabitable ruins,
made so by their own act, was re-
stored to them, instead of the
beautiful city which they might
have regained almost undan,-
aged.
The destruction Of Sebastopol
was more thorough and was caused
from as patriotic motives as that of
Moscow, but we never heard that
its destroyers gained any credit
for the deed, which instead of GO
| ing down to posterity as sacrifice
|, of patriotic devotion, was forgot
ten in a year. The truth is, that
Moscow has been played out in the
estimation of the civilized world,
and it has come to be considered
that there Is no great amount of
virtue or prudence in incendiarism.
