cemetery is on level piece of ground,
and is in some places soft and sinking.
In November, 1867, work was begun
on a new cemetery between the railroad,
the old cemetery and the stockades, with
view to remove these bodies in coffins
and re, bury them by States and regiments,
but by order of the authorities at Wash
ington work has recently been suspended
on it and resumed on the old grounds.
The climate in the region of Anderson
vile is warm indeed, but the town is con-
sidered one. of the most beautiful in this
part of the State. This l know is not
the idea at the North, but it is easy to
prove it by the old inhabitants and by re-
cords kept at that place, The enormous
mortality at the pen is due to other causes.
OF the large number of rebel soldiers
kept as garrison here, less than one hun
dred are buried in the vicinity.
1t is to be hoped that the Government
will at no distant day be able to so beau
tify the neighborhood as to make it fit
ting resting place for the men who died
in the cause Of their country.
Visitors are daily to be seen now, look
ing for the graves of friends. Many bo-
dies have been sent North for reinter-
ment. MATToCK.

Wonderful Mechanical Genius.

A youth, aged eighteen, belonging to
a respectable family of Paris, had, about
a year ago, been condemned for theft to
five years Imprisonment. His conduct in
prison being quite exemplary, he gained
the good opinion of the director, who
soon remarked in him peculiar aptness
for mechanical contrivances. A few
days ago he begged to tell him what
o'clock it was that he might set his watch
{" You have watch, them" asked the
director. Only since yesterday, sir,
said the prisoner, and to the astonishment
of the director produced one made Of
straw! The little time piece is two and
a half inches in diameter, about half an
inch think, and will so three hours with
out winding up. The dial plate is of
paper, aud a pretty straw chain attached
to the whole. The instruments the youth
bad at his command were two needles, a
pin,. a little straw and thread. Several
persons of distinction, moved by his sur
prising genius in mechanics, are eudeav-
oring to obtain his liberation.

quest, which has been in session since
Saturday last, upon the body of Townsend
\. Horton, who died from injuries re-
ceiycd at the late disaster at Cairns Rock,
rendered at Z. NJ, TO day the following
verdict =
1--WE find from the evidence that Town
send n Horton, of Salem, La Crosse:
county, Wisconsin, came to his death from
injuries received on train twelve Of the.
Erie Railroad, Delaware Division, at
Cairns Rock, Pennsylvania, on Wednes-,
day, April Is, 1868, at half. past three
o'clock A. NJ, said train being thrown
from the track by rail broken in two
places We also fiud that the train was.
running at the rate of thirty miles an
hour, between Laekawaxen aud the scene
Of disaster, aud from the testimony of Of
fcers of the road, touching the condition
of the track, and the quality OF iron upon
portions of the track, we deem the rate of
speed too fast for the safety of passengers

& Wonderful Tree.

A correspondent of the Boston Tran
script thus describes a remarkable maple
tree growing in Vermont:
suppose it started from the root Of a
small tree that was cut down for fence
about sixty years ago Since that it has
become a tree somewhat more than two
feet in diameter. Three several times
the sap has been made into sugar by it
self The first trial, when the tree was
smaller than it now is, it gave me twenty
pounds of good dry sugar, at another time
twenty FIVE pounds, aud at the last trial
twenty pounds; and it was con-
jectured that enough was lost by the sap
oyerhowing the receiver to have increased
the amount to thirty pounds. The tree
was tapped with nothing larger than a
half-inch or FIVE eigth inch bit or auger,
and in but one place. | suppose that to
call the sugar it has afforded for the last
twenty years twenty pounds annually
would be moderate estimate. The ave.
rage product Of the trees in our sugar or
chards would not probably be more than
fifth part as much. | believe an ave-
rage product of four pounds to tree in
favorable seasons is estimated a very good
yield.

The Pennsylvania Election Frauds:

The following remarks of the New York
Ddaty Times, In reference to the reyela-
tions made in the Centre county contested
election case, seem to US to hit the nail
right on the head:
1.-The wholesale frauds of the Penusyi-
vania Democratic State Committee in the
Sharswood election having now been
proved, the question is what will be done
with the guilty? We are told that " the
case has concluded with the ousting of
Democratic Senator, and the swearing.
in of Republican. 1t strikes Us that
the case should not conclude, but aou--
mence, at that point. When, in addition
to the atrociouS frauds themselves = the
unblushing bribery, the importation os
voters, the wholesale forgery and perjury,
the abuse of court rules and notarial sig-
natures = we Gnd that one witness to the
frauds was murdered in cold blood,
second kidnapped and confined, and a.
third rescued from the very hands of the
law officers, surely something more than.
a political change OF one vote in the Sem
ate should result. Unless the seyerest
penalties of the law are Inflicted, the same,
thing will be done again, with increased
skill in avoiding detection"

SO busy that he has no leisure to laugh !;
the whole business of his life is to get
money, and more money, that he may
still get more aud more money.
He is still drudging on, saying that
Solomon says, The diligent hand max
eth rich" And it is true, indeed, but he
considers not that it is not in the power
of riches to make man happy, for it
was wisely said by a man of great obser-
walton, That there may be as many mis-
cries beyond riches as on this side OF
them" And yet God deliver US from
pinching poverty; and grant that, having
competency, we may be content and
thankful. Let us not repine, or so much
as think the gifts of God uucqually dealt,
if we see another abound with riches
when, as God knows, the cares that are
the keys that keep those riches, hang Of
ten so heavily at the rich mans grdle,
that they clog him with weary days and
restless nights, even when others sleep
quietly. We see but the outside of the
rich mans happiness; few consider him
to be like the silkworm, that, when she
seems to play, is at the very same time
spinning her own bowels, and consuming
herself And this many rich men do =
loading themselves with corrodiug cares
to keep what they have already got. Let
US, therefore, be thankful for health and
competence, and above all, for 4 quiet

the natural teeth, and also to insert incorrup-

persons know the danger and folly Of trust
ing their work to the ignorant as well as
the travelling dentist. 1t matters not how
much experience a person may bave, he is
liable to have some failures out of number
sS gases, and if the dentist lives at distance
it is frequently put off until it is too late to
save the tooth or teeth as it may be, othe
wise the inconvenience and trouble of going
SO far. Hence the necessity Of obtaining the
services of dentist near home. All work
