coiled around, me someihing like a swing,

out of the window with Ime, and iti a mo

looking creature, his room all littered up with
scraps and clippings of paper, kneeling on his

some inarticulate words, among which I
.could distinguish, " Palladium of our„liber-.

SUPPLIES FOR RICHMOND PRISONERS.-
Dr. J. K. Reed, of this place, who has taken
such a generous and zealous part in afford
ing relief to our unfortunate prisoners in the
Richmond prisons, requests us to acknowl 7
edge the receil•t by him of the following sup
plies and which he has duly forwarded:
From Mrs. M. A. Reid : dry beef, 5 IDs sausage,
2 1 / 2 ths coffee, Sibs sugar and tea, 1. ham, 1 bushel
apples, 1 bus. potatoes, 3 lbs butter, 1 peek onions,
and 2 jars pickles. From three of the Mrs. Reefers:
3 bus. apples. 1.34 bus. potatoes, 3 peeks dried ap
ples, 11 qts. dried cherries, 6 qts. dried blackberries,.
5 cans apple butter, and a lot of tomatoes. From
Mrs. J. S. 'Nixon: 10 loavesuf bread, dried beef and
anions. From Mrs. Huber: 10 loaves of bread
From Hon. Jas. Black.: potatoes andapples. From
Mr. Jobh !Asher : 1 barrel of flour. This was for
warded to the American Relief Association at Bal
timore. From Capt. Jas. Brown: 1 bush. potatoes.
From J. S. Nixon: 1 bushel potatoes. From Jacob
Stouffer: 134 bus. potatoes, 134: bus. apples., From
Mr. Kauffman: 1 crock: apple butter. 1 bushel po
tatoes, 8 lbs ham, driedtbeef, 6 qts. dried fruit, 31b3
coffee and 13 lbs crackers.
The sum of $lO was also received by sub
geription to pay the freight on the above sup
plies The total weight of the supplies Was
1,510 lbs.
The Doctor forwarded the supplies to Rich.:
mond for prisoners confined in Libby. with
the exception of rone lot intended for those
in Castle Thunder.. He has most undoubted
assurance that the donations are duly received
ind properly distributed. It.. is hoped that
the good work is only begun; and that our
odople, realizing the condition of our bray
nen enduring the pangs of , hunger and in
leScribable other miseries in Southern 411-
.ons for the cause of their couatry, will re
pond •promptly and generously to the ap
i)eals made. Mr. Ould, Rebel State Com
missioner of Exchange, may denounce as
infamously false" the storms of the suffer
rigs of our prisoners circulated through the
North, but the evidence that these stories are
,ieither coined or exaggerated comes to us
dmost daily. We have -before teOrt: letter
2rom one whom we knote to bii a brave sol
dier, an intelligent man and whose veracity
cannot be doubted, in which he says " those
officers captureditnd without funds, are in a
starving condition," and urges immediate
relief. Again, " the rations issued to the
prisoners is nothing more than corn-bread.
and that not fit for a dug to eat." The lettur
bears date-November 22d, and did not come
through Rebel hands.
We trust, then, that for the sake of
. hu:
manity t for-the sake of the cause and for a
sincere. expression of appreciation and sftn
pathy our readers will remember in a sub
stantial manner our Richmond priioners and
hasten contributions to their
Dr.. Reed will forward boxes or parcels
weekly, and persons wishing to contribute
will leave their gifts at the stores of Messrs.
Eyster & Bro., Mr. James L. Black, Messrs.
Hoke & Co. and Mr. William Wallace.
Nxw Orsacxxs.—The new county officers
,chosen at the late election assumed the du

the Courts.' Mr. Strickler has been duly in
stalled as Register and Recorder; 'and Mr.
Good' was . qUalifted Commissioner some
time ago.
Toßacco enter TBS.--The tlreencastle Pi
lot gives the' experiment of Mx. Christian
Hoover, - of Antrim, in the culture of tobacco
last season: He prepared, abOut taro dares
and a-half of marsh ground, upoi'l the farm
of Mr. J. B. Witmer. In the beginning of
June last he set out his plants, in square
rows; the_ hills being three and a-half feet
apart. The plants consisted of the following
varieties, viz : Connecticut, Pennsylvania,
Virginia and Havana. The tops were fre
quently cut off seas to allow the leaves to
grow large. The labor expended in hoeing,
etc.. was equal to the daily labor of two per
sons during the three months or more of the
tobacco season. The first ere!) was cut off
the ground in the latter.part of_August; and
when dry it wif make "about 000 lbs. The
tobacco is of very good quality. The second
crop was easily worked; and timed out tol
erably well. The whole; 'hOweVer, made
several hundred pounds. Season§ when the
frosts do not come early, the : second crop can
be made to pay considerably more than 'the
expenses incurred in working 'both crops.
Prom the foregoing, it will he seen that rai
sing tobacco in this county will pay. Other
anti larger experiments will be niade next
summer.
