TRUTH MrcH STRANGER TEAM FIcTIoN.-The
Doylestown Democrat prints the annexed his.
toric stranger, and vouches for its truth:
A few years ngo there was living in north
ern county in Pennsylvania, poor family
The Iuother was fond Of reading One day
peddlcr came along with books to sell, which
she wanted, but was unable TO buy, for she
had no money. lie asked her if she had moth
isg to give in exchange for them, and she said
but her children. lie said he would take one
OF them, and bargain was struck for fine
looking little boy. The pcddIer dressed him up
nicely and took him off. Years rolled round,
and the child was NNt. heard from. lie had
become almost as one dead. Within a very
few months gentleman living at the county
scat OF this same county one night dreamed a
dream. He dreamed that somebody han died
and left legacy Of six or seven thousand dol.
lars to the brother Of the little boy given away
for the books, and who was now doing bust
ness in this same town. In the morning he
told the brother of the dream, who laughed,
aud said that he knew no one that would leave
him that amount Of money. \ few days al.
terwardS the brother received notice by mail
that he had been left legacy of seven thou.
sand dollars, and it was by the little boy who
had been taken away by the pedller. lie had
settled in the -M,0fAa and dApa well a',3 ~ -
died. or been killed in the army, after maxim !
4 will in favor of his brother. Let those who
study the PHILOSOPHY Of dreaming" turn this
matter over in their brains.

CsURPATiox OF Power. Whenever any
government shall usurp power under the
pretense of protecting liberty, though this
usurpation be the act Of majority, it is
tyranny, not disguised, but assuming the
most bold and dangerous sanction, Mr..
Madison once remarked, in the State Con-
vention of Virginia: "On candid en-
animation of history, We find that turbu-
lence, violence and abuse of power, by
the majority trampling on the rights Of a
minority, have produced factions and
commotion, which in Republics have,
more frequently than any other cause,
produced despotism."

NOBLE SENTIMENTS. Condemn no man.
says John: WcS'ey for not thinking as'you
think. Let every one enjoy the fall and
free liberty Of thinking for himself Let
every man use his own judgment, since
every lhan must give an account ot him
self to God. Abhor every approach, in
any kind of degree, to the spirit Dt pcrSe-
cution. you cannot reason or persuade
a man into the truth, never attempt to
force him into it. If love vii not compel
him to come, leave him to God. the Judge
of all.

IMPORTANT DIscovERY.-A curious
discovery has recently been. made
public IN France, in regard to the
culture of vegetable and fruit trees.
BY watering with solution of sui.
phate Of iron the most wonderful f..
cundity has been attained. Pear
trees and beans which have been sub
mittcd to this treatment have nearly
doubled in the size of the produc-
tons, and a noticeable improvement
is remarked in their favor. DIR. Be.

of the establishment at Enghien Of

ESCAPE FROM AREBEL PRISON.

Highly Interesting Narrative-Experience
of,wo Newspaper Men-7,0O0 Prisoners
at Salisbury, n c.-General Disaffection
Against Rebel Rule.
NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-A special dispatch to
the Tribune from Nashville, dated to- day, says
Albert D. Richardson, OF the New York Til
bune, with W. E. Davis, correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, and the clerk of the Ohio
State Senate, arrived here to day. They es.
capped I. ON the rebel peniteHtiary at Salisbury,
North Carolina, on the night OF December 1s,
in company with Junius II. Brown, also of the
Tribune They came 400 miles by circuitous
route through the mountains before reaching
our lines, fifteen miles from Knox vile. For
the first fifty miles they were assisted BY ne
received most devoted kindness; their good
friends secreting them in the woods and barns,
and sometimes in their honses by day, and
guiding them through secluded parts by night,
along their entire route, at the peril of their
lives They found the snow foot deep on the
mountains, and suffered much from hunger
and cold, in regions where they dared not
build fires.
One hundred miles from Knoxville they
joined numbers Of refugees, who were on their
way to the Union lines, under mountain pilots;
but the next night, at Kelley's Gap, were sur
rounded by the rebels, and compelled, at q
moments notice, to separate into two parties.
The horsemeR were piloted in the darkness
from the rebel camp by young lady, and they
rode by forced marches Of such severity as to
kill many OF their animals.
Mr.. Brown, with other footmen, under an
excellent pilot took to the mountain paths, and
reached our lines on Saturday.
The Richmond authorities refused all pro.
posals for their exchange, declaring that they
should be held during the war as hostages, and
for retaliation. They left 1000 prisoners in
Salisbury, suffering the greatest barbarities
from the rebels.
They represent that there Is the most earnest
loyalty to the Government still prevailing in
the rebel lines, throughout Western North Car
olins and East Tennessee, and that the people
manS of whom had sons and brothers 70 nurdered
and houses robbed and burned by the rebals,
and looking and preparing for the ad vance O.
our armies Hundreds Of citizens are living out
in the woods, in Almost every condition, wait
ing to enlist in the Union service.

Kentucky and Slavery.

FRANKFORT, KY, Jan. 1.-THE speech Of
Hon. w. T: Kinney, before the LEGISLATURE
heretofore sustained legal enactments favorng
slavery, because he deemed slavery in some
respects beneficient to both races, although he
had never believed in the inherent right OF one
man to hold another man in bondage; nut that
those benefits had ceased to accrue, and the
rebellion was responsible therefore. He iusti-
fed the acts of the Administration in regard 10
slavery, and vindicated the right of the people
to amend the Constitution and abolish slavery
believing the Union to be the immutabe basis
OF the Government, and the Constitution its
mutabie policy to be changed as necessity or
expediency required. He concluded that Ken
tucky's interest quired the proposed amend
ment, as slavery had retarded her develop
ment, and seriously checked her advance
