The New York Tunes, epeaking, cf the disappearance of Mr. K'ngs, save: j Mr. King is known lo have been haun- ■ led by fsneies of suicide for several days —not from any special reason or ex citing cause, but from the general prostration of his nervous system under ex aggerated notions of the responsibilities of his office. In it Idi iom lo what has ’ been mentioned of hts mental aberration in 1837, which rendered necessary his ’ temporary retirement to an asylum, we j understand that he suffered in the same j ' way in 1860. From his interest in the ' ' j Presidential canvass lie was induced to I ■; purchase an interest in a newspaper in | bis own connty, and this was made the j ! pretext for a charge by his opponents of j j a corrupt use of money for the promotion j of political ends. This so preyed upon his mind and alarmed him lest h.s relations and friends should be disgraced on his account, that it was with the ulm is; difficulty he was p-rsuaded f-ora rash proceedings. Ha was painfully j f ind morbidly sensitive to eensnre, e»pe- 1 |ci i.iv in connection v»,:ii political action. In ii.ts connection it a*ay Oo proper i to state that in n.e year 1833, during ! G th* "patriot war,” as it was called, insanity was produced in Mr. King’s > mind by false and mallieious charges ■ made by Lis political enemies, who tried j 1 1 to make him responsible for the l.ves of the seventeen young men who were bang ' and the one hundred and fifty sent to j ■ Van Demin’* Lund —all Americans.; ■ The fsol were these; An argreenten'i was entered into by Colonel (subsequently Genera!) W. T. Worth, commanding i the frontier at Ogd -nsbuig. and the ’ ■ Brilish commander, Colonel Young, by • : which the picket* within a certan disi . tance of the wind-mill, on the Canada ' side, of which the American had posess- ■ ion, should bs withdatwn for a certan - time to allow a boat to be sent of cf and i bring away the party of young men r who bad invaded the Canadian, terri- ' lory. In pursuance, of this agreement between, the two commanders Mr. s King was selected, bv Colonel Worth. I The steamer Paul Pry, which was . j used as a ferry-boat, was chartered, and j Mr. King went over Part of the men he • brought off; the rest refused to come and these were hung transported. The expedition failed, bat throug no fault of Mr I K'ng’s. In the January following (1839) = i he became subject to. aberrations of at Hartford where he rema ned some four ir : five months. It is supposed tnat the effs oris to mske him responsible for the fate -of the young invaders who refused to - come away with Lira had an evil effect on 1 i bis mind. lie returned to his home pre- - fectly restored to mind, since which until i the present time no signs of insanity have , ever appealed. He was in the hatht ol , referring to this event in i is history in a jocular manner when with bis iclimate, j friends, and if anything particularly ec- * centrics, in his acts was brought up he ? . would laughingly remark, "Oh, that was . when I was out of my head.” or. "That < was when I was insane,” etc, Planting Apple and Pear Seeds. ■ If you have yoor groun 1 prepared, and , it is dry or well drained, you can sow your seed tbi* fall. Some, however, prei fer to pack such seed in sand and keep it i cod and moist until spring, and then i plant it as early as it can be got in the )! ground. Plant an inch deep. The seeds ! of stone fruits, such as cherry, peach, &c , should be planted this fall, or so exposed that they will freeze during the winter. I Where neither is done, we have seen the 1 stones carefully cracked with a hammer and plao’.e-J. But they should be kept cool and moi*t during the winter. Plant three or toor times the diameter of the seed iu depth. A light, rich loam is a good soil in which to grow trees, if you have if. A well drained soil is necessary.— Sele-hJ Faou Mas Gmcyov ” —What to Jc! • with tte Ntiional Dept—Leave it a Loan
