Dried FruII.

We are induced at the present
time to offer q few suggestions to
our country friends with reference
bout to open, and there is every
reason to believe that a rich harvest
is in store for those who will prop
erly cut and prepare their fruit for
market. In the years past dried
fruit has become source OF cOnsid-
erable revenue, and its Importance
as a produce of our country is be-
coming greater every year, and j.
likely the approaching season to be
more extensive as a business than
ever before experienced in this mar
ket. Our information, well fOun-
ded, from different sections of the
State, is that the peach crop especi-
ally is much larger this year than
for any previous year since the war,
and it is natural to suppose that for
eign capital will be as ready as usu-
al to be invested therein. Our pro-
duce men here, always wide awake,
have hitherto paid good prices for
fruit for shipment north, and are
doubtless now ready to take hold of
any and all that may be brought TO
our market. The fruit grower
should remember that the produce
of one acre, well cultivated in fruit
will pay his dry goods bill for
year, and If the fruit i only taken
care Of and offered 70 the country
merchant, he viii accept IL As readi-
" in payment Of a bill as he would
cotton, corn, wheat, or any staple
product Of the country. Two years
age the peach crop was estimated
III value to our State one and half
million of dollars. This years, If il
is handled with the care which its
Importance demands, wiz probably
exceed two million and a half, so
that a large amount Of the money
lost to the State by the failure of
wheat, may be recovered by the
proper attention bestowed on fruit,
and the necessary care in SIS pTcpRr-
alton and drying. We therefore ad-
wise fruit growers. however small
may be the extent of their crops, to
save every pound. Ii will put mon
ey in the hands of the prOducer and
the merchant just at u season when
il is most uccdCd.-NGshCiije Ua-

The tides purity and wash The
shores, clearing aud sweep our ports;
the icurrcnts, which results there
from, disencumber our roadsteads
of the masses of mud which load
them, clear the mouths of rivers,
and produce a pure aud wholesome
freshness. These undulatiOns of
the ocean, these powerful pulsatious
of the waters are influenced by staFs
which are separated from our plan
ct by millions of leagues; nor have
they less mathematical regularity pa
that which directs those planetary
bodies themselves. At fixed hour
the formidable masses Of wa.rl,
raised by an invisible power, rise
and approach the shore. They rise,
they precipitate themselves with
resistlcss power, but only 20 stop
gentiyat IA precise moment, without
ever passing the boundary whicn
nature has traced. IL is surely an
honor 10 the human race to have sue
cceded iu calculating the very hour
nay, the exact minute-in which
the oscillations Of the sea begin aud
end in every part of our globe.

terrible disasters, thst calaot be
avoided By any foresight 81 precag--
ton, Thus, occasionally, a pow
erfui wind happens 20 blow in the
same direction with the tide, and
gives il incredible force and fury.
No lofty embankment reared by the
hand Of man, DO rocky rampant
raised by nature herself, can then
Withstand its power; and towns are
swept away ia an Instant, and thou
sands Of persons lose their lives. In
some parts Of the globe the tide pro-
duces remarkable effects, from the
peculiar formation Of the coast
which Il strikes. The moststriking
is that OF the Mauritius, where a
long, rocky prOmOntOry runs far
out into the sea, and has been worn
by the waves into numerous caves
aud grOttos OF marvellous beauty
and grotesqueness. The waters have
forced themselves an outlet through
tho roof OF one Of these caves, and
when the tide reaches the coast IL
Ills the cave, and then, with indes-
cri bable grandeur, nies through the

Reasons for Supporting lr. Gree.
ley.

General d. II. IIiu, of North Caro-
lima, Urother-in-law Of the immortal
Stonewau jackson, himself a tried
and true man, who will long bc re-
membered as the soldier who was
first to confront the armies Of the
North md to resist their invasion
of Virginia, on the plains of Bethel,
gives the following reasons for sup
porting Greeley oil "princip!c." lie
says:
I'VE DO not take Mr.. Greeley
from policy, bat from principle. We
take him because he i with us in all
the essential principles which arc
involved in the Presidential contest.
lie is opposed to Ocarpet-bagism. JIG
is opposed 10 military rule and the
persecution Of the people. 1Ee IS
opposed to the thievish rings which
bankrupt the masses to enrich the
rogues. lie is opposed to eNtrava-
gance in administering the govern
ment and high taxes upon the pee
pie. Heis opposed 10 two terms IN
the Presidential Ofiiee-the first
term being employed in bribing ihe
way with stolen money for second
term. He is opposed 10 squander-
ing the public domain IpoR Ike
swindlcrs who bribe the President
and Congress TO passiniquitOUsrail-
road bills. Hcis opposed 10 put
ting imCOmpcteufs into Office, even
should they be KIN TO the Presidcn'. .
lie is opposed to making a Poland
of the South, and IN favor OF win
ming our people by the law ofKind-
ness. Iu brief, on all the living IS
sues Of the hour, Mr.. Greeley and
the South are in perfect accord. His
platform and his letter embrace al
for which we can now attend. It is
because OF this agreement in princi-
pie that we accept him as our lea
der, and uotsbecause of,aHy low views
of policy and eNpediGnCy.
THE Radical candidate has but
two ideas in his head. The first is
to get rich still by gifts from bribe-
givers. The second Is 10 degrade,
humiliate and ruin the Southern peO-
pie. We oppose HIM on principle,
aud we favor the man whose perso-
nal honesty is above suspicion, and
whose heart Is big enough 70 feel
for the wrongs and oUtrages com
mitted upon the States lately IN re-
bel.iOr.

Never Tompt IA Man.

The late celebrated John Trum-
bull, when a boy resided with ms
father, Governor Trumbuu, az his
residence in Lebanon. Connecticut,
in the neighborhOod OF the MOhc-
gans. The government OF This
tribe was hereditary in the family
of the celebrated Uucas. AmOng
the heirs 10 the chiaftainship was
an Indian named zachary, who,
though brave man and an excel
lent hunter, was as drunken aIrd
worthless an IndiGn as could we'll
be found. By The death Of inter
veuiug heirs, Zachary found him
self entitled TO The royal power. R
this moment the better genius of
Zachary umed sway, and he re-
flccted seriously. "HOW Caa such
drunken wretch as / am aspirc 10 D.
chief Of this noble tribc2 What wiz
my people saw How shall the
shades Of my glorious ancestors

mOre!" And lac sOlemuly resolved
that henccforth he would drinL
nothing stronger than water; and nc
kept his resolution.
Zachary succeeded 10 the rule of
his tribe ltwas usual Tor the Gov
ernor 10 attend the annual election

for the morgan chief also 10 attend,
and on his way TO stop and dine with

these occasion. at the board occurred
a sccuoc which / viii give in Trum-
bulls own words.
% One day the misohieyFOus
thought struck me 10 try the SINGER
ity Of zthe old mans temperance.
The family were seated at dinner,
and there was excellent home brew
ed ale on the table, thus addressed
the chief: Zachary, this beer Is
very hEc; will you not taste itS The
old man dropped his knife, and
leaned forward with stern intcH-
sity o. expression, and his fervid
eyes sparkled with angry iBdigna-
ton, were liked upon me. John"
said Ee, "you don't know what YOU
are doing. y on are serving the de-
vii, boyl DO you know that ! am

Death of Prof. S. B. Morse.

The inventor of the telegraph system, Prof. S. B.
Morse, departed this life, on Tuesday last, at his
residence in New York. An exchange thus briefly
szetched his life and gives the history of his nven-
ton:
Born in Charlestown Mass, in 1891, his father,
Jedediah Morse, the foremost American geograph-
er, gave to him love OF science destined to cause
the erection OF statues TO him while he lived to be-
hold his glory. Sidney marked his career at Yale
by fondness for chemistry and facility in paint
friend Washington AIlston, TO study with Benja-
min " est. In 1913, when twenty-five years of age,
he was awarded medal for model of a Spying
hercules, and came home and painted portraits,
organizing at the same time that which is now the
National Acadamy of Design" of which Morse
was the first President In 1929 he returned to Eu-
rope and remained three years prosecuting art stu
dies. On his home voyage in 1882 he suggested the
idea OF the electric telegraph to his fcow-passen-
gers. IN 1850 ne had constructed an apparatus. In
1881 his complete mechanism for receiving and re-
corning Geographic messages was exhibited to
thousands. The following year he asked Congress
Tor money enough to construct a line from Wash
mgton TO Baltimore; and, owing to the stubborn
ignorance and skepticism OF the conservatives in
that body, his scheme laughed at good-natured-
ly or condemned with Indignation A prominent
Democrat, who still lives could not be induced
even to listen respectfully to ANYTHING concerninp
Morse or his wires. Then he went to England and
failed. Little better fortune was accorded him in
France, and he came home to renew his efforts In
Congress. He and his friends battied faithfully
but the session drew to close in II with nothing
accomplished. In the very last moment of the SEES
sion being the final act of the body an appropria
ton of $50 900 was made, and the daughter OF the
Congressman who had pashed the resolution thro
bore the tidings TO Morse, as he YEARLY as
cending his hotel steps, fun OF despair. To thil
young girl he accorded the gracious privilege o.
dispatching the first message over the completed
wires. She sent the now memorable words

g Sad Calamity

Last Thursday morning occurred one OF the most
terrible and sickning accidents which it has been
our duty to record in many years. About eleven
O'Clock, Joseph Noisient took his gun to shoot some
pigeons About ten minutes after the report OF the
gun his father, who in the mill, went to the
door, seeing the dog acting strangely started across
the street. He found his son lying the ground
with the left side OF his head horribly mangled.
The poor boy was breathing though unconscious,
when found, but died very soon after. II is sup
posed that he had gone through the fence and was
pulling the gun after him, when the hammer caught
on picket, causing the discharge of the left hand
barrel the contents of which entered the head Just
beneath the LEFT eye completely destroying that,
and laying bare the brain that side of the head.
The coroner was notified and came down from
Goshen, and an inquest was held over the remains,
with the following verdict:
We, the jurors find that the deceased, Joseph
Vosient aged Is years. came his death by the ac-
cidental discharge OF gun in his own hands while
in the act of passing picket fence.-ElkhoTt Re

For the satisfaction of the tax payers
of Marshall county, the Board of Com
missioners should ascertain the exact cost
of the Court House; the amount of bonds
issued, who holds the bonds and the
amount realized by the county on the
bonds. They should also report the mum
Der of men employed to superintend
the work and the salaries paid. We
hear such inquiries made very
frequently, and they are very
natural ones. There is an impression
among the people, that some two or three
men are employed at $1,000 salary each
who know nothing about building, prae
tically.

The question of the removal of Col. Eddy. from
by some of our contemporaries and Gen. Packard
is being censare3 Tor the act. The General writes
letter TO the South Bend UaiaN III which he cx-
honorates himself from all blame ana probably
gives q correct version Of the whole matter. We
see nothing to be made by the discussion of the
question, Tor in any event II was nothing but q
party act that is repeated continually and is gener-
ally looked upon as entirely right because It q in
keeping with the generally accepted jackson doc
trne that ITO the victors belong the spoils" Ne
are defenders of Gen. Packard, bat in Justice to
truth we viii say that Col. Eddy personally assured
us that Gen. Packard had always treated him in
manner perfectly satisfactory and that he had July
determined to resign the Office long before he did
but was prevented from the early execution of his
wishes by the urgent solicitation of those who had
the power to remove him al any time. He had the
Office even longer than he desired end resigned il
only at his pleasure. Let the truth be told though

Editor Republican - notwithstanding
the rain on Saturday last, our streets were
thronged with teams from the country,
during the afternoon; giving quite a
business aspect to the town.
Farmers report their wheat crops con
siderably injured by the drouth and winter
particularly the late sowing. They also
report the maple sugar crop an entire
failure
Spring blowing has been commenced.
Our friend, Martin Bucher, expects to
commence manufacturing brick in short
time, and hopes by the last of May, to be
able to supply all who want anything in
that line.
We are under obligations to Charley,
our gentlemanly and courteous R. r.
Agent, for thesfol owing facts and figures
There has been shipped from this place
since the 1st OF January last, seven car
loads of hogs, eleven of grain, and eighty
four of lumber. Making near 100000

R. ~ Williams, (grain dealer,) informs
US That he has bought, since last harvest
80, 900 bushels of wheat, 1000 bushels Of
corn, 1000 ot oats, and one thousand
bushels of clover seed. Our mill men
have also purchased considerable amount
of grain, the figures for which we have
not been able to obtain.
Platt Mcdonald visited our town, one
day last week We presume he was look

We have no hoop pole nuisance" to
complain of; but we have sawlogs ant
alleys included, in certain quarter o.

which is almost daily increasing in bulk
1t is to be hoped that the enterprisinG
men who own the mill, will have the goo(

town, which it now occupies; when thei
present lot of logs are sawed out.
