EX-GOvernor William r. Packer.

Ex-Governor william r. Packer.
EX Governor William r. Packer died Ye' terd AZ
at his residence in Wiamsport, in the 6ith year of
his age. Governor Pecker was a native OF Lycom-
ing county, where he always he d his place OF resi-
dence. During the last forty years he has taken
prominent part in the management OF the affairs OF
the Commonwealth OF Pennsylvania, aud has filed
many responsible offices with credit to himself and
with satisfaction to the pubic. He was
Canal Commissioner, Auditor General for two
terms, Speaker OF the State House OF
Representatives, aud State Senator. In 1857 he was
nominated by the Democrats as their ca ndidate for
Governor and was elected over David Wilmot Re-
publican, and Isaac Hazehurst, American. His
term as Governor extended from January, 1858, to
January, 1861, when lie was succeeded by Governor
Curtin. Governor Packer was originally printer by
trade, and for some years he was the editor OF
a newspaper published at WilliamspOrt. He was
Democrat OF decided but not extreme views and he
was much respected by men OF all political opinions
Personally he was gentleman of eminently agree
able ana urbane manners, and he leaves a large
number OF warm frien Is TO mourn his loss.

WE publish to-day a trenchant address of
Hon. William D. Kelley to the workingmen
of Philadelphia, which will be read with deep
interest. We scarcely think that this ire
sistible argument was needed to exhibit his
antagonist as an arrant demagogue unwor-
thy of the confidence of any party, but at the
same time committed (as far as such a man
can be committed to anything) to pDlIcy
destructive to the interests of those whom
he vsinly aspires to represent. The voters
of the Fourth Congressional district,
however, have so much at stake tn at

attempting to have them misrepresented in
the next Congress, and of the despicable

THE SURRENDER OF .STRASBURG.
SrRAsBURG has surrendered after a most
heroic resistance, in which the defenders,
although Obliged to succumb to the adverse
fortunes that have attended the French arms
during the whole of the present contest, have
maintained the national honor in q manner
that must have gained for them the cordial
respect of their enemies. The fall of Stras-
burg was not unexpected, as all the recent
reports from the beleaguered city have repre-
sented it as reduced to such extremities that
it would be impossible for it to hold out for
any great length of time. The garrison and
the heinhabitantswere almost without provisions,
and it is most probable that their ammunition
was nearly exhausted while they were obliged
to sustain a furious cannonading from the
Prussian batteries, which was increased daily
as the siege progressed. By the dispatches
published yesterday afternoon we are informed
that breach broad enough to warrant an
assault was made in the walls and that gene
raj attack upon four points simultaneously
was arranged Under the circumstances, the
French commander, General Uhrich, must
have been convinced that further resistance
havoc that would ensue if an assault was
made and the city carried at the point of
the bayonet, he accordingly wisely con-
sented to surrender. The cable despatch
that informs us of the fall of Strasburg
does not tell us what the terms of capitu-
Iation were, but it can scarcely be doubted
that the Prussians made the same demand
that they did at Sedan. namely, unconditional
surrender.
The effect of the Prussian success before
Strasburg will be to reinforce by sixty thou
sand men either the army before Metz or the
ono before Paris. The probabilities are th.t
the Prusslan General Won Werder will, so
soon as the capitulation of Strasburg is COM
peted, march to the aid of the besegers of
Metz, and in that case the fate of Bazaine
will most likely in very brief period be de-
termined in the same manner as that of
Ubrich has been, and then the Parisians will
find themselves confronted with all the vie

HON. FRANK A. TRIrLE, the Republican
nominee for Governor of Nevada, is native
of Franklin county, Pennsylvania, and studied
law and was admitted to the bar in Chambers
burg Some fifteen years ago he moved to
Council Bluffs and engaged in the practice of
his profession and in the banking business.
Soon after the organization of the Territory
of Nevada he settled there, and has figured
conspicuously in mining and political opera
tions. He has served in the Nevada Senate
for several terms, and has justly won for him
self high position as a legislator and popular
speaker He is gentleman of fine scholarly
attainments, thoroughly versed in the inte-
rests of Nevada and eminently able to defend
them, and he will make an able and in all
respects q creditable Executive for the little
Mountain State. He will doubtless be elected
by from 1900 to 2000 majority, with the pre-
sent able and popular Congressman, Mr.
Fitch.

THE REPEATERS.

TaERE was time when il was considered a
joke to ask your political friends to ''vote
early and often, but the leaders of the
stronghold of Democracy, New York city,
have established regular system of partisan
management based on this maxim, and their
success in retaining control of corrupt Go
than and in attaining power in the most
populous States in this Union, through the
aid Of the repeaters, has encouraged the adop-
tion of similar tactics by the Demo
oracy of other sections of the
country. Even staid Philadelphia has
been victimized by this despicable device,
and the proceedings before the United States
Oommissionery yesterday prove that efforts have
been made to again nullify the will of ma
jority of our bona .fde citizens at the coming
election. AS slavery was ''the sum of all viii
Iainies," the systematic employment of re-
peaters is the most dangerous and demoral-
izjng crime of desperate partisanship. Its
evils do not end with the injustice done to
honest voters and with the disrepute brought
upon the ballot-box by hagrant frauds, al
though these offenses deserve, in themselves,
the most condign punishment. 1t is bad
enough to perpetrate treason against the
principle which lies at the basis of republi-
can institutions by giving hundred of the
most arrant scoundrels as potential voice,
at the polls, in general election, as i've thou
sand honest voters. But IT should be remem-
bered that these scoundrels must in some
way be paid for their perjuries and frauds,
aud the New York plan of re-
warding them is to grant immunity
for other crimes against person. property,
Or life, in addition to appropriations out of
the municipal treasury. The system is com
paratively in its infancy here, but we have
still suffered sufficiently from its operations
to see that if it is not stamped on il will
place the peaeeable public at the mercy Of
desperate villains. In New York a slilful
repeater, or manager of repeaters, may be a
murderer, thief, swindler, couuterfeiter,
or a miscreant Dlistered with every crime in
the calendar, and still go unwhipt of Justice;
and in Philadelphia the same plan of
purchasing indulgence for offenses against
private citizens by the perpetration of a

CORN FODDER.

The corn crop, take it altogether,
throughout the country, was never better
than the one about to be harvested, while
the grass crop, especially the second
moving, has been short in several Sec
tions; hence the necessity of curing the
corn fodder as carefully as possible-far
more SO than is generally the case. We
know it is a pretty heavy article to han
die, and that many farmers defer their
husking to very late period, greatly to
the injury of the fodder. 1t is, perhaps,
best-certainly the least laborious-to
husk the corn in the field and remove it
thence to the cribs; but we could never
see the advantage to the corn by defer
ring the husking until the fodder, by the
weather and shocking, becomes almost
worthless. The corn, too, by being con-
fined in the large shocks for six or eight
weeks, moulds far more than if carefully
cribbed where the air has free access and
passage.
Cattle prefer well-cured fodder toclover
hay, and it is fully as milk producing,
even more so when cut and steamed.
They will then eat up all that is prepared
for them, and thrive upon it. We know
this from our own experience and the ex-
perience of others. The fodder, there
fore, is not merely worth being cured in
the best manner, but it should be an OBJ
ject of real concern with all who keep
cattle-as much so as clover hay. 1t is
sad, then, to see so many fields of fodder
scattered over the country, moulding and
wasting away, in November, and even in
the early part of Observation-Disclosures

KEEPING SWEET pOTATOEs.

> A writer in the Prairie Farmer gives
the following timely suggestions in regard
to keeping sweet potatoes during the
winter:
The conditions of the tubers at digging
time and the cOnveniences for storing
them vary so much in different parts of
the country, that no method can be recon-
mended as the best under all circumstances.
If the season is long enough to perfect the
potatoes and to insure their having a
thick skin, and there is, withal, dry
cellar, the temperature and dry
ness of which may be regulated,
there is little difficulty in preserv-
ing sweet potatoes in bulk the same
as Irish potatoes. If, however, the pota-
toes are not thoroughly ripened, and have
thin skins, and there is no suitable cellar
for storing them, it is somewhat difficult
matter to keep them over the winter. In
all cases the potatoes should be dug before
they are injured by frost, and should be
left in the sun till they are quite dry.
They should be handled carefully Sd as
not to injure the skin. In the absence of
suitable cellar, they may be left in
chamber OF attic over the cOok-room, or
they may be packed IN suitable boxes and
kept IN the kitchen. In order to
insure them against frost and to
prevent the rot from spreading
among them, many recommend placing
some substance between the potatoes TO
keep them from comingin contact. Many
things have been recommended for this
purpose, such as oats, saw-dust, chaff,
cut.strsw, bran and suudried sand. Rot
ten wood; dried and pulverised, and peat
served in the same manner, are also re-
commended. The object should be to
pack them in some substance that is bad
conductor of heat, which will absorb
moisture, and which will not injure the
skin of the potatoes. Old flour
barrels are very convenient for pack
ing purposes. Put in thin layer of
either of the substances spoken of; then
place layer of the potatoes as close as
they can be put without touching, adding
the filling from time to time till the bar
rel is filled, when it may be headed up.
A few small holes in the barrel would be
useful for ventilation. The best temper
AZURE is one that is even and is only suf-
ficiently warm TO prevent the potatoes
from freezing. If the air of the apart
ment is too dry, the potatoes will have a
shriyeled appearance in the spring, which
will injure them for table purposes.
