The Case of William Ke ssIer.

William Kesslor, poor insane man ,o
jackson township,in this county was draf.
ted; but no notice was ever served on him
the officer whose duty it was, saving that
it was unnecessary, that be knew him to
be insane, and that be would so return the
facts. Subsequently William Kesslcr was
taken to the Lunatic Asylum at Harris.
burg where he escaped and by some moa MS
returned home.
The notifying officer went into the ser.
vice and died. Tho way seemed to be
clear and Mi"ypieces of grecnbacks, O
prize not to be lightly discarded Accord.
ingly one bitter cold night in February
last, squad, followed by military Off
cial, arrested the poor lunatic, hurried him
from point 10 point without giving his
friends time or opportunity to bring the
facts before the couvicting tribunal un-
til finally the poor, rRIENDLEss INSANE
citizen, found himself incarcorated in Fort
Miffiin, under sentence of a Court Martial,
to confinement for TWO YEARS WITH
BALL AND CHAIN
Who shall answer at the great day, for
the unexamplcd suffering this innocent lu-
matte has endured
We are glad to add, that upon the facts
being made kncwn to President Johnson,
he Immediately ordered Kessler's release
and discharge and to be returned iu charge
OF guard to his home in jackson town,
ship. For which to him, thanks.
-----~sS~
Be5~ On Wednesday morning last Abi-
jah Hess, Of Sugarloaf township, in this
county, called at our Office being on his
way home from Fort Mifiin, where he
has beon confined under sente nee of Court
Martial for the last six months. He in.
formed us that VIM. Kessler, Clark Yeats

been released.
We also learn from him that at the
same time, seventy Eve others from differ |
ent parts of the State were released all |
ofthem by order of the President Of the

We are very glad TO greet the citizens
of the county again; and to know that

restoring to liberty all the victims Of Lin.

The Tomato.

The season for this royal fruit has
again arrived, and we propose to 'im.
prove the OCCASION by some remarks to
our readers.
We are indebted for this plant (Ly.
cope, SjcunS eScuient,m) to South America
the homC Of most Of the species Of SO3@.
t~m aud allied genera, and it is, next to
the potato and Indian corn, the most val
liable vegetable production native to that
quarter of the earth. The tomato is among
the most heathful of fruits the cultiva
ton Of the plant is simple, and its pro-
ductivencss great. 1t will grow well in
various soils, and is but little subject to
insects or disease. Besides, when treated
fairly its appearance in the garden or
field is ornamental.
The uses of the fruit are many. 1t is
stewcd, baked, eaten raw, and used in
made, dishes. 1t is made into ketchup
and applied as a garnish or dressing For
preservation, it is dried or canned, pre-
pared as preserve or picked. And we
now read accounts of the manufacture of
wine from it, which is said to be fine
The variety best known and that COM
monty raised, is the Large Red, which is
of greatest size aud mostly irregular in
form. 1t is rather sharp to the taste, be.
ing more sciduous than other sorts. The
large Yellow has mild flavor, and should
be mixed with the red in cooking. The
Cooks Favorie, is new sort of fair size
and appearance which we hear commend.
cd by some persons, but we are unable to
fix its character from our own observa-
ton. The Pear-shapcd tomato is Of mod
crate size but elegant in form; and the
small Cherry tomato is the proper kind
for picking. But, in our opinion, the
Prince Of Tomatoes is the Fcjeo. The
vine OF this variety is readily known from
others by light blush shade in the col
oring. The fruit is Of good size, gener-
ally regular in form, and of dull red
COLOR Its quality is excellent. Its taste
is milder than that of the large red with
out the insipidty of the yellow and the
flesh is full and firm without toughness.
The plant in growth may be supported
by stake, trellis or frame; if allowed
to spread upon the ground straw should
be placed under it. This answers as a
mulch and keeps the plant and fruit clean.
1t is common error to place the plants
too closely. They should have plenty Of
space, and the ends should be pinchcd off
after fruit has set fully. Shortening in
the shoots has the SAINT effect as with
most other plants-to improve the size il
not quality and earliness Of the fruit.

THE PERILs OF THE CABLE.-The recent narra-
tive of the . laying of the cable furnishes one
of the most striking Illustrations on record Of
what apparently insignificant circumstances may
cause the failure delay of vast projects. This
momentous enterprise which has for years been
n subject of so much interest throughout the
whole civilized world, in danger of being
defeated through the agency Of bit of wire two
inches long, and no thicker than darning nee
die. This tiny piece of steel fell unnotced on
the coil of cable the weight of the external lay
ers pressed it into the tarred hemp which forms
the outside covering of the cable, where it ad-
hered. While in the tank it did no harm, but
when this portion to be paid out, the
small diameter of the eight leading wheels which
give access to the paying-out machine, and the
weight of the jockey pulleys over these, which
keep the rope in its place, bent the stout iron
wire so sharply that it passed between the hemp,
pierced the gutta percha through at least two or
three of its four folds, and there remained. In
this state it was found, and instantly recognized
piece of wire from the splice joint. This is
but one example among thousands which serve
to show the almost insuperable difficulties which
beset this great nterprise-difficulties which it
seems to require an almost superhuman vigilance
to guard against.

The ENGLISH ELECTIoNs.-The London and
metropolitan boroughs returned in all sixteen
Liberals, including J. Stuart Mill, the phiosophic
writer and liberal thinker Hughes, the author
of Tom Bromns School Days, Sir Charles Bright,
electrician, and Baron Rothschild. The n Y
Post expresses great satisfaction at the election
of John Stuart Mill and Tom Hughes Mr. Mill
is 80 years of age, and it is said he is in the ma
ture vigor of life and Thomas Hughes the au-
thor of Tom Br0wns School Days, is a barriSter
of energy and sound scholarship, forcibIe and
effective public speaker, and is especially well
informed upon the condition of the English
working classes. Commenting upon the charac-
ter of the canvass the Post says:
Roebuck when asked at Sheffield how he would
vote upon certain subject, replied .. You
mind your own business, and will mind mine -
which reminds US of Sheridans retort in IA SINH
lar case. Being rumbly requested by his con-
stituents, on one occasion. to give his vote to
their interests, he refused and said - Gentle
men, bought you, and, assure you, I'll sell
you whenever it suits my interest or conve-
nlence. We read of two or three great land
holderS-amongst them Baron Rothschild-openly
ordering their tenants and dependents to vote for
their nomnees-a kind of coercion which would
be resented in this country, and attracts remark
even in England. We also read of some candi-
dates who take their election as Il matter Of
course, and rebuke as mpertinent any questions
asked by the electors

to be dirty. Knowing this. on his way to the

teacher, very stcrnly. Out went the right hand
partly cleansed. The teacher looked at it mo-

hand in this school room as filthy as that will
