Aftor greeting from the host Of the Railroad
House and few others at the door Of the hotel,
some one exclaimed, George, hold on Y md look

window, the congcnial face and portly form Of Ex-
Sheriff Perks, buttoning on a 22 inch paper collar.
We held on Of course Breakfast over, the Sheriff
put IN an appearance on tho ground loor, with
the remark. "lIow long are you going to remain p
Three hours, we remsrked., 30, hold on" said

In companywith our conductorwe passed to the

BURGLAR KILLED. Mr.. John Spear
Thompson, of Martha Furnace, called on us on
Tuesday last, and stated that the burglar whom
he shot dead, on Sunday night, while he was try
ing TO break into his store, is supposed to be
named Johnson---a professional burglar-from
Harrisburg. He had on his person seven shooter,
with every barrel loaded, and number Of burgla-
rious instruments. lie was between rs and 35
years of age, about FIVE feet nine inches IN height
with sandy mOustache, grey eyes light brown
hair, fair complexion, and had on a pair Of green
pantaloons. A variety Of things were found on
his person, among which was an envelope address,
cd to Annie Robinson, ~ Virgin alley, Pittsburg.
Mr.. Thompson states that when he heard the
noise at The door he got up cautiously and got his
revolver from stand near by, and, after waiting
a moment or so, fired through the open wire tran
som above the door, hoping to frighten the theft
or thieves away, and never dreaming that he had
hit anybody. Hearing then, what he supposed was
the noise of some getting OF the porch and away
as fast as possible, he opened the door and fired
another shot out into the darkness. Not seeing
any one hearing any more noise, he quietly
went back to bed, satisfied that he would not be
disturbed any more that night. In the morning,
when he opened the door to get water to wash his
face with. there was tho dead burglar, lying cold
aud stiff, with a bullet hole through his head
Mr.. Thompson says that the fellow had got on
barrel and must have been standing looking
through the transom when he fired, and the noise
Of his fall was what he took to be the hurried de
parture of the scoundrel from the porch.
A coroner's jury was summoned, and rendered
verdict according to the facts Of the case as
stated above, altogether exoncrating Mr.. Thomp-
son from any blame in the matter. The fellow
was professional burglar, and deserved all he re-
ceivcd although the killing was entirely unnten-
tional on Mr.. Thompson's part. He fred through
the transom purposcy, so that he would not hit
any ono. II the burglars head was at the tran
som at that moment, II was his own fault---not

Gleanines" of the August number there is the
following curious item, copied from the Rural
Carohnan, on the twining of the bean vine, as
affected by the influence of the sun;
'To settle this question, Prof. ]. Parish Stelle
wrote to friend residing in Brazil, asking him
how the bean twines there. His friend replied
that it goes round the pole in precisely the re-
verse direction from that taken in the United
StatesP
Why, on either side of the equator, the spiral
growth of the bean, the morning glory, &C., is
invariably in an opposite direction to that Of
the sun, /. e., against the sun; why some other
spiral growers, as the hop vine, &C., climb their
supports invariably in the reverse of this direc-
tion, i. e., spirally Nth the sun; and what may
be the movements of these two classes of climb
ers, when growing directly under the equator,
are items Ofinformation that most writer's on bot
any do not seem eager to impartl Perhaps some
correspondent of Tilton's Journal will give us
some additional explanation in regard to these
obsure but very curious manifestations in vege-
table physiology. Prof. Gray, in his "School
and Field Book of Botany" attributing this
sort of movement to the action of light, says,
page 10:
"The free ends of twining stems, as of Hop
or Bean, which apparently hang over to one
side from their weight, are in fact bent over [by
the action of light, and the direction of the
bend constantly changing, the shoot is steadily
sweeping round the circle, making revolution
every few hours, or even more rapidly in certain
cases, until it reaches a neighboring support,
when, by continuation of the same movement,
it twines aroundit."
Such curious instinct of self preservation is
obviously almost essential to the existence of
this feeble class of plants. But why this move
ment is, as in the case of the hop, always with
the sun, e., SOUTH west north, east, and so on,
and, as in the case of the bean morning glory,
&C., always against the sun, under the same in
fuences of the light, are just the questions that
seem little difficult to answer. 1t may be, that
among the readers of the Spy some one can
throw light upon these mysteries of vegetable
instinct, hitherto as inexplicable as is the fact
that the will, acting through the nerves, causes
the contraction of the muscles by which man
bends his arm. j.

TUESDAY. AUeUsT Is. 1871,

Gen. HarIan's canvass of Kentucky, as the
republican candidate for governor, has more
than doubled the republican vote. According
10 the official count, he has received 4124 votes
in 81 counties, republican gain of 50,S1I on
the vote of 1868. A part of this is due to the
voting of colored men. In canvassing the state
he has shown very remarkable ability and
power. The Louisville Commercial says: "At
the beginning of his canvass some of his warm
est admirers looked upon him martyr. As it
went on they began to regard him as political
hero. AT its close they worshipped him almost
as demigod." Some Of the western papers
are now nominating General Harlan for the
vice presidency. He deserves honor. Hence
forth, he will be an object of national interest;
but he deserves something better than the vice
presidency. 1t would be too bad to take him
from the field where he docs such splendid work
and lay him away to doze in the sleepy quiet OF
that office Let him work where he is until he
can be called to something higher.
