On a quiet Suud.iy afternoon, in the month of December, ISU3, while sojourn ing in Juniata county, I was culled upon by some prominent citizeus of that locali ty, with letters from soldiers of their ac quaintance, conveying tho melancholy intelligence that their comrade iu aru,s' 11- had been tried by a court martial on the charge of desertion, found guilty, a:id that the senteuce of death would be carried into effect (he fellow iug Thursday. 'i he wife . aud some of the i:eighl ors of the doomed man were exceedingly anxious that some effort should be made to save bis life, if possible, and, as his time was fast ebbing away, speedy action was imperative. We decided, after consultation, to make an affidavit aa.to his previous good character and iiioflcnt-ive habits of lite, and to get Governor Curtin, whose support could always be relied upon iu any effort fur the comfort or relief of a Pennsylvania soldier to apply to the President for par don. As I was going to Philadelphia the next morning, I aimed myself with the testimonials from his uciirhbors aud 1 . stopped at llamsburg to hand the case j amountp(1 t0 ablute pardon, which over, agreeably to our anangemeuts,- to I bMql,nt even1. : fully confirmed. - the Governor, and to request his prompt Jo,ph It not only escaped the and friendly interference in the matter. if,nomin()n;, drtll to w,lich 1 was cn This much, and no more. I Lad with g . aJ a the othw dM1RCTS 0f the great pleasure agreed to uo, as I knew the condemned since boyhood, and often, when a boy myself, waited on him iu a store, when we both lived in Fannet township. Franklin county. Presenting the papers aud stating lha case briefly to the Governor, he said : . "I cannot assume the responsibility of taking charge of tlie case exclusively, nor do I believe the evecution can be arrested, unless you see the President and have lii i it specially to attend to it.. Only a few days since a soldier fiom my own region was shot, aud his pardon, which 1 procured, reached the army a few hours after he was shot. It was a sad case, as he was the only sou of his mother, aud she was a widow," aud having comu iuto the State at the Battle of Gettysburg, was tempted to slip off on a visit to his i mother. I got the pardon, but the ma. chinery was too slow to save his life ; and so it is likely to be iu this case, aud unless you go to , Wash ing to u and see that the pardon reaches hiui in time, he will be shot certainly. I will give you a letter to the President, but you must carry it in person, and it will be some consolation for you to know, hereafter, that you were mainly the means of saving this poor fellow's life." Xot uutil now did 1 realize the fearful responsibility of my position, aud lher; appeared to be no escape from the Gov ernor's positive requirements. As Con gress was not then in session, having ad journed' over the Christmas Holidays, and knowing tlie great difficulty there was iu getting access to the President with out the aid of member of Congress, I went on to Philadelphia, hoping to get one of the city members either to . take the papers to Washington and attend to the case, or at least to get one of them to go with me. Xot finding any of them and there being no time to spare, I went on the same night, having previously as cerUined that a member of. C.igress from Pennsylvania of my acquaintance, was there. . t :,'::: When the war began, the army regu lations required that all sentences of court martial, imposing the death, should be ap proved by the President of the United States. Several BQch sentences were pronounced on soldiers for desertion about the close of the first year of the war, but such was the great kindness of TBI COSSTITCTIOS THE UMIOX ASD THE EN rORCEME ST Of JILN1ATA COUNTY, FENiN'A., beart of Mr. Lincoln, that be revoked all the sentences and imposed othera of a lighter grade. Subsequently desertions becoming so frequtit as to seriously im pair the discipline of the army, our Gen erals found it absolutely essential to make au example of gome of the delinquents, and bad the regulations bo changed that the approval of the Commanding Gen eral should be fi'ial in executing the geuteuces of. any court martial. The President was consequently not advised of the findings of court nfartial, unless through an application for the exercise of the parooning power conferred upon him by the Constitution of the United States. Xo doubt, too. he absented cheerfully to the Bteru demands of war, which required that some of the guilty parties should be made a terrible cx.tmple of, if thereby the discipline of the army could be im proved, and others deterred from follow ing' in thi-ir footsteps, liut to accom plish this end it was necessary that the j now martyred President should not have j the issuing of the death -.varrttit. How sad to think that one whose gentle nature revolted from taking life even in a lawful j manner, when the culprit, under the laws j 1 of his country, had no right to live, j ! should himself die by violence, without a j . , ... 1 moment s warning, wnen surrouudcu uy members of his family ! At an early hour in the morning, hav i in? found the Consressional friend I to some extent relied upon, we went together 1 ! to the Presidential mansion and were (promised an interview, as soon as the ! President should appear in his office, and ; it was not long until we stood in the pres '. euce of the only man iti the world who could give the relief we sought Glancing at the papers, and asking us a question or two, he said : "Will, 1 think there has been quite euough of this shooting of our own boys latelv to meet the obiect intended, and 1 L ,,.,., in ibis case." ! Then sitting down at his table, he wrote ou a slip of paper this despatch to Gen. Meade : , "us)eud, uutil further orders from me, the execution, of the death sentence in the case of Joseph 11 ." " to the telegraph "Take that," said he office iu the War Department, and get Gen. Mead d acknowledgement ot the receipt of it. and all will be right.." Gen. Meade's reply was soon received, aud we breathed freer and easier, having no longer the responsibility of a fellow mortal's fate hanging, at least partially, upon ns. Although the dispatch ordered only a reprieve, and not an unconditional pardon, we felt certain tha. the "further orders" from President Lincoln would never be issued, aud practically it war, but he still lives in Juniata county, near the line of Franklin, and is doubt less very grateful to his neighbors, through whose"- exertions the measures were inaugurated which saved his bosom from being ride' led by rifle balls from the guns of his executioners. With a slij ht rrabelishment, this plain narration of facts might be greatly ex tended, but in tliis, as in many other cases, the exact "truth is stranger than fiction." .;; . , , , . J M. P. A Grammatical Dkcisio.w The X. Y., Tribune decides that the plural of titmouse is titmouses, and not titmice. "On the same principle," says auother paper, "the plural of a tailor's goose is gooses," as, indeed, we hold that it is.

Thinking this was bad grammar, he destroyed it and wrote this one : "Please send me two tailor's geese." Upon reflection he destroyed this one also, for fear he should receive live geese. He thought over the matter un til he was very much worried, and at last, in a moment of desperatiou he seized his pen and wrote the following, which was duly mailed : "Messrs. D. & S : Please send me one tailor's goose, and send me another " . This was the only way he knew of to order two of them ; but of course he had not read the above wise decision then.

J MAY 10, 171. THE FOOL ASD THE HIUUTTAIMA5. Xever heard of Redmond OTIanlon. the Irish highway robber! Well, that's surprising. Your English ' Turpins and French Duvala couldn't hold a candle Xi our highwayman. But for all his shrewdness he mt Lis match once, and I'll tell you how it was. Uedmond was a fine, strapping, gen tlemanly fellow, and a devoted admirer of the ladies as where is the Irishman that is not ? and what is more, a friend to the poor ; as you'll admit when I tell you that his dernanos for cash were only made on persons who could well afford to meet them, and that he delighted in forcing contributions from those who had the name of hard landlords to their ten ants. There was one of this class whom Keduiond never lost an opportunity of tavinf fir tliot w:is tlift iwtlitt nan.o lip . . , . . T, gave to Ins own robberies. i.very quar-1 i , , rt ter dav this setitlem:iii or one of Lis ser- vants sometimes more than one used to take a journey of six or seven miles to collect his rents, and as regular as cluck work there was Redmond O TIan lan, with some stout companions if ueees sary, to waylay the collector as he re turned home Every means was to elude him, but to no purpose, lie spies ever-where, and contrived to the exact information he needed in had get ad- vance. So one quarter day. when the gentle man's servants asked about going for the rents, he swore fit O' H.tulon. and said he didn't see the use of collecting money to hand it over to him. Xow this gentleman had on his estate a boy called "Jerry the Fool," who had the run of the house, and made fun for the family, lie had n great conceit for himself, and when he heard what the master said, he immediately asked to be allowed to go after llie rents for once, and declared he would know the way to bring nhem safe home. Of course he was only laughed at; nut when lie rep- resented that no harm could come from trying, as he couldn't do worse than all who had gone before him, the master agreed to humor him Upon that Jerry I made such preparations as he thought ; suitable, chose the worst horse in the j stable an old hack half blind and three- quarters lame and started on his cnter- prise. JNotfnng occurred on the way. He collscted a considerable amount of money, carefully disposed it aootit his person, and started homeward. Towards i evening, as he was quietly jogging along j on the old hack and was just entering a long lane with lugli hedges on each snle, a tall fine looking man rode up to him on a handsome roan mare. God save you, niy says the gentleman. God saveyourhouor ! replies Jerry, What's your name, my mau 1', .asked cntL..m "Jerry the Fool, and I ain't ashamed of it. What's yours !" The gentleman took no notice of the question. After awhile tie says, "That's a fiue auiinal you're ridiug, Jerry " 'Faith, 1 m glad yonr honor likes it. says Jerry ; but it isn't myself that'd care to take a lease of his life. But he d serve my turn any way, lor it snot m a hurry I'm travelling I 'vo only been to village beyond to collect the master's rents for him " Surely he is not such a fool as to trust you with that job !" . "Arrah, why not 1" asked Jerry in great surprise 'Why don't you know that Uedmond O'Honlan's on this road 1" "Redmond O'Haiilon, is it," says Jerry. "Ugh! That for Uedmond O'llanlon!'' , i j r says ne snapping ins nngers. -raix, Jerry the Fool is a match for half a dozen of the likes of hi.n any day in the week, Sunday into the bargain The stranger laughed, and they rode on in silence until ttiey camo iu a very lotiely part of the road, when he drew a brace of pistols, aud told Jerry to haud over all the money he had about him, or he'd try if he had any brains by sending a couple of bullets through his head. "Meala Murther," roars Jerry, in a tone of surprise and fright." You don't mane to say your honor's Redmond OTIanlon?" . , "I do, indeed. So hand over, my man, and look sharp about it." "But, faix, its kilt entirely by the master I'll be if I so home without the rint" "What's that to me?" said O'Hanlon. "Anyhow," says Jerry, "I must show them that 1 had a murdering fight for it Perhaps your honor wouldn't miud firing a shot through my old beaver." O'nanlcfn did so, laughing at the trick. "And now another through the breast of my coat, and Ileaven bless you." This was done. " Now, just one in the skirt of it, and good luck to yonr honor." '" But I've discharged both my pistols, and don't want the trouble of loading them again for you," , "Faix, I should dearly like a shot through the skirts ; ' it wohld show I fought desperate. Jre you sure your honor hasn't another pistol in your pocket tbat you wouldn t mind nnug lor a poor boy's sake J i i EDiTOU Ab PlYoPUiTTOK. ! j I Wlinn." VIIMKIR IJfift! Confound you ! To be sure I am Hand over this m "riey, or I'll beat yott to a jelly wiih my horsewhip." "Well," gays Jerry, after a good deal of fumbling, "I suppose, considering he trouble I've had in collecting these rents, yonr honor won't mind the little bother of going over the hedge after them-?"' Aud he threw over a sock apparently well tilled with coin. lla;f laughing, half angry, the highwayman first aim-!7 ing at Jerry with his whip, which he avoided by ducking dismounted, and climbed over the hedge, and no sooner had he done so than Jerry slipped off the old hack and mounted O'llaulon's horso. "Bad scran to you, Iieilniond O'Uan lon !'' he bawled. " Pidu't I tell yon Jerry the Fool was a match for a dozen of you 1 It's a sack of bra3 buttons your e gone over tae hedge sifter, you thief of the world !" And touching the - . . i ti i t Uiiu null lilt; fliui, 1JC aiii':iru lot, 1 1 singuig at the top of his voice the old melody, " Go to the mischief aud shake yourself!" O'llanlon couldn't pursue him on the hack the cute tool hail made uim discharge his pistols. 1 here was l nothing for it but to walk away, cursing j ii to vnu souftuiij, auu cwi utiii, 11 atij one wanted to provoke uim, they had only to ask him when de had last seen Jerry the Fool.

I 6he was awakened in the night by I I some one stumbling over her. and imme ' diatoly afterwards was seized by the ; throat. She asked the man what he i wanted, and he answered that he wanted her money.
