RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE.
Origin and Progress of Sunday-Schools.
The influence now being exerted by the Sunday-
School for the benefit of the rising generation—those
to whom in a little while, humanly speaking, win
be entrusted the destiny of our country and her in
eitstusions.-can hardly be overestimated. Although
stllf combined with much that is defective in H.
operation', it is at once disciplinary and elevating,
both to the teacher and the taught, and in the main
evinces a catbolicity of spirit to which the Church
(by which we here mean all shades and grades of de
nominations) is practically a stranger. The Ameri
can Sunday-School Union is planting schools by
hundreds, annually, in ail parts of the country,
through agents whose duty and practice it is to
ignore feet entirely in their efforts to bring the
young within reach, and, if possible, under the in
detect of the Word of God. This Catholic spirit
has given that peat reformatory inetitlltiOH a hold
on the affections of the people, which it would be
impossible for any mere denominational enterprise
to attain. The simplicity and power, too, which
characterize its efforts commend it to favor as an
exemplary Christian institution. The following
sketch of its organ and progress, drawn from the
beet antboritiee, may not be uninteresting to our
readers:
The idea of Sunday schools is no older than many
an ol d m en still living. It was only eighty-one years
ego (CSC) when that pious printer, Robert Raikes,
resolved to do something for the religious improve
ment of the prisoners in Gloucester county jail. He
never dreamed what an agency of good he was found
ing,nor could he have believed, had it been told
him, that the wave which swelled out of his heart
about& in less than four score years, roll across the
Atlentic, and over the prairies, leaping the Rocky
Mountains, and leaving its blessing on The islands of
the Pacific. But this great result le only a type of
the prolific character of really holy endeavor, and a
standing pledge that in the service of Christ we shall
surely reap if we faint not. Mr. Raikea began hie
labors in this cause by hiring four young women,
who were teachers of weekday schools, to g 0 to the
count} jail on Sunday, and instruct as many Of the
prisonere as would consent to assemble for the study
of the Bible, Each woman was to receive 22 Gents
a d a y. In a feW Weeks two or three hundred puptie
were secured. Mr. Bailees was at this time forty
edy years old, a time of life when thousands now
think they may retire from Sunday-school Work.
This plan of doing good became at once popular and
received the endorsement of such distinguished men
as Cowper, John Newton, Doctor Scott, John Wes
ley, and Adam Clarke. The system was one of paid
labor, and the compensation was fixed at 83 cents a
day. In the course of twelve years, however, a
large share of the labor came to be gratuitous.
Seudayschools spread from England into Wales,
where children were rapidly gathered in; and what
is very suggestive and noteworthy, Welsh Bibles
became in ouch demand that a special edition was
prepared. Out of this necessity of printing Bibles
to meet the Sunday-school demand grew no less
an institution than that noble monument of Christi
*nits', the British and Foreign Bible Society
Robert Bathes lived to see the idea of Sunday
achools in the twenty-ninth year of its growth, at
which time 300,000 pupils were enrolled, a number
Which grew rapidly, until in 1836 there were in
England and Wales alone one and a half millions
- Under Sunday-school Instruction.
The early movements of the Sunday-school cause
in this country were embarrassed by the system of
paid labor which had been imported from England.
it is amusing to read a bill presented by a teacher
to the Board of Visitors of Sunday schools in Phila
delphia, dated June 1,1800. It reads thus :
" For teaching the Sunday school of girls three
months, at $lOO per year, $25. For teaching 4 19-26
echo] eta more than 40, $1.19. Pens, ink, paper, $4.
Two dozen spelling•books, $4. Rent of room, $5.
Total, $39.19."
The Sunday-school interest at this time was em
hanamed not only with This expensive system of
compensation, but also with the want Of library
boon", of which the list was exceedingly limited.
, The honor of introducing the present plan of gratui
tous instruction is generally conceded to Rev. Ito
bert May, who had been a Sanday-sohool boy in
London. This important change was made in 1811.
From beginnings like these, the system of Sate
batiesohool instruction has expanded until it co-
Vera continents, counting its library volumes by
thousands, its teachers and scholars by millions, and
its converts to the truth by figures which eternity
only can disclose.
DEATH OP. THE REV. NATHAN JAEGER.--We have
read in the Lutheran and Missionary of this week,
with deep regret, the death of the Rev. Nathan
Jaeger, recently pastor of the Lutheran church at
Reigleeville, Bucks county, Pa., having died from
injuries received by being thrown from hie buggy in
consequence of his horse becoming frightened at a lo
comotive °lithe Lehigh Valley Railroad. Mr. Jaeger
belonged to a ministerial fismily. He married the
eldest daughter of the Rev. Henry S. Miller (one of
the most respected divines in the State, for many
years located at Lebanon, Pa.), in 1846, the same
year in which he entered the ministry, and leaves a
Widow and eight children to mourn his loss. The
Writer luta a vivid remembrance of SKr. Jaeger's
first (or one of his first) sermon, delivered in the old
Union Church at Limerick, Montgomery county,
this State, from the text, " God is Low," and the
careful preparation and earnestness evinced in that
early effort grew with his years, and at the time of
'his sudden death, although a student under many
difficulties, his library, with which he was wonder.
hilly Ammer, numbered books in the Hebrew,
Chalice, Syri ac . Greek, Latin, French, German,
and English languages. He died at the age of near.
ly forty-four years.
A PEW CURIOUS FACTS WORTHY OF NOTE, IN
THE LIFE OF THE LATE ARCHBISHOP HUGHES, AND
SPECULATICNS AS TO. HIS SUCCESSOR.—Tie Arch
bishop, during his lifetime, often expressed the wish
that he would die on the anniversary of his patron,
St. Joke, and his wish was granted, as the day of
his death was the anniversary of that saint. During
his term of archephscopacy he ordained one hundred
and. two priests, and consecrated no less than six
bishop'. On the 10th of March, 1844. he consecrated
the Rieht Bev. John McCloskey, Bishop of Albany,
who pronounced the funeral oration over his re
mains. In 1846, he consecrated Bishop Timon, who
intimated as chief celebrant at the requiem masa.
Bishop Timm is an aged prelate, whose appearance,
hill of years', was remarked by every one during the
ceremony. In 1855, he consecrated Bishop Bayley,
of Newark, who was one of the prelates in the
grand funeral ceremonial.
The disease of which Archbishop Hughes died Was
Bright's disease of the kidneys.
The question as to who is to be his successor is at
tracting attention. The ordinary method in cases of
'this kind is for a council of the bishops of the pro
vince to meet, agree upon three names, and send
them to Rome, with recommendations and explanio
lions as to the relative fitness of each. From these
the Pope chooses one, and confers upon him the pal-
Hum. Any clergyman in the province, whether a
bishop or not, may be thus chosen by the Episcopal
council. Whether this course will be adopted in the
present case is einatter of some doubt. It appears
that Bishop McCloskey, of Albany, when he was
appointed Coadjutor Bishop of New York, Was con
secreted "with the right of succession." Since then
be has accepted the See of Albany, and whether
when he did so he waived his right of succession to
the diocese (now archdiocese) of New York, is the
point which occasions some doubt. The probability
le that the subject will have to be referred to Rome
for instructions from the Pope, whose decision will,
• of course, be final.
Pnovneson HITCHCOCK COXING TO CALVARY
PRESBYTBRIAN Cereame—Ever sines the resigna
tion of Rev. Dr. Jenkins, in August last, the pulpit
or Calvary Presbyterian Church, Locust streets
above Fifteenth, has been without a pastor. Lately
the congregation held a meeting, and extended a
unanimous Gall to Professor Roswell D. Hitchcock,
D. D., Of the Union Theological Seminary, New
York, who is expected to occupy the pulpit of this
cuurchttemonew (Sunday) morning and evening, in
fulfilment of anengsgement made previoustothe call.
We arenot informed that Dr. Hitchcock hasyet for
Malty accepted the Cali extended to him. Shouli he
do so, Calvary Church will have reason to be proud
of her choice, as the professor, for profound attain
ments, varied learning, ability as a theologian, and
effective style of oratory, has few, if any, superiors
In this country.
TROUBLE IN A SUNDAY SollooL.—We have in
more than one instance had occasion to speak of the
flourishing condition and admirable management of
the Sunday Schools connected with the Fourth Bap
tist Church, Fifth and Buttonwood streets. These
schools, until recently, have for several years been
under the superintendence of Jahn M. Evans, Esq ,
one of our most accomplished and devoted workers
In the Sunday School cause, possessing not only
the requisite qualifications for a leading position in
this important Held of Christian labor, but a personal
Character peculiarly adapted to attract around him
the best kind of assistants. An Unpleasant tuft.
culty having, however, lately arisen, &treating the
cordial relations between Mr. Evans and Rev. Di r.
Jeffery, the well-known and highly-totem:lied pastor
of the Church, the former has resigned his office as
Superintendent, and since then accepted a similar
position at the hands of the Tabernacle Baptist
Church (Rev. Dr. Eddy's), at Eighteenth and Chest
nut. The srlperintendence of the whoops of the
Fourth Church devolve at present upon Dlr. Lin
coln, assisted by Mr. Shoemaker.

CAM' OF THE COLORED TROOPB.—The
present encampment of the United States colored
troops recruited in this cl , y, is sonic distance below
Oamp W and ill
is a much bettersmiPenn, where they weretion, although at
the present time its appearance is far from being
pleasant. This is accounted for by the inclement
weather Which has rendered the ground there several
inches thick with mud. es soon as the weather
moderates, drains will be dug in order to draw oft
the water and prevent such an overplus of slush in
the future. It should have been done before, but
was overlooked. Some ten or twelve large wo oden
buildings have been erected with comfortable apart
ments for all purposes, in which the men are quar
tered. These barracks were made to accomodate
two full regiments, and as there are four hundred
of the third regiment stationed there, tents have been
emoted, containing stoves, to hold this extra num
ber. This, however, will be obviated in a few days,
as the Bth Regiment, which has been completed some
time, has been ordered to report to Gen. Gillmore,
at Morris Island, and will be transported there short
ly. This regiment is in excellent condition, fully
officered, and the men will, no doubt, prove them
selves worthy of being called American soldiers.
They drill exceedingly well, considering the time
which they have been engaged in learning it, and
take great pride inunderstanding all the movements.
They are ambitious, and as such cannot help but
succeed. The regiment is commanded by Col. Prib•
ley, who has seen hard service, and :deo passed a
successful examination for the position before a mi
litary beard.
The 22k1 Regiment is also full, and has its full coin
plement of officer,, but it is not expected to leave
for at least a month, and perhaps two months. The
25th Regiment now numbers about four hundred
men, and will be filled to its maximum number in
the course of two weeks. This regiment will make
the fifth one raised by the Supervisory Committee
of this city, without a particle of expense to the
Government, and it proves what a few men can do
if they are earnest and have the love and interest of
the country at heart. This committee, together
with their general agent, Mr. Robt. Corson, have
been strenuous in their exertions to raise colored
volunteers for the support of the Government,
which efforts have been crowned with success to
such an extent that their services cannot be too
highly appreciated,
DEMOCTIATIC STATE .CMTRAL CObi-
NITTIZE—DESOLITTIONS ON THE DISUNION,
EMANOIrATION, &C.—The Democratic State Cen
tral Committee held a meeting in this city on Thurs
day, and adopted another manifesto on the war and
the policy Of conducting it. The committee "re
solved ",that the Democracy, though bent, are not
broken, and that the late defeats are no " criterion
to go by," as regards the future. "We are still firm
in our belief," as the resolutions read, "of the ulti.
mate triumph of Democratic principles and policy,
and that their ascendency is the surest means of re
deeming our 001mtryfrom its present afflictions ; and
to that end we earnestly invite and entreat Demo
crats and all conservative citizens in the Several
counties, wards, townships, and districts of the
State, to unite themselves together in more perfect
and complete organizations, as the beet means to
reestablish the purity of the ballot, maintain per
and public liberty, and to provide for a final
effort, at the next election, to displace the men now I
in authority at Washington, whose policy and mea
sures have proved so prejudicial to the cause of the
Union, subversive of the rights of the citizens, and
- oppressive to the people."
The Committee cnaracterize as "revolutionary
and monstrous" the President's plan for the return
of theseeeded States, "manifesting an astounding in
clination on his part to act in utter disregard of the
Constitution and the elementary principles of our
republican form of government, and at the saute
time foreshadowing a scheme through which eta-
pendons frauds may be practised upon the ballot at !
the next election 4 and a still more stupendous fraud
upon sovereign States that have furnished without
limit of their blood and treasure to put down retell !
and rebellious States, by admitting into the Electoral
College men who would have no legal or constitu
tional right to seats in that body ; the consummation !
of which scheme would be so gross en outrage upon
the rights of the people and the States, as might fully
warrant resistance on their part, by all the means
Which God and nature have placed Within their

CRIMINAL MISCONSTRUCTION.—The in
justice done to individuals by the misconstruction
of their motives of action, or the assignment of
wrong reasons, was exemplified yesterday by a dis
loyal (paper of this city. It had pleased Rt. Rev.
Bishop Wood, a day or two since, to withdraw his
official endorsement of the Catholic Herald and Visi.
tor, of this city, as an exponent of Catholic doctrine
and teachings. The real cause of this withdrawal
was the course adopted by its new editor in advo.
eating with no little warmth and persistency the
formation of Fenian Brotherhoods, and other secret
associations, whose object is the revolutionizing of
Ireland against England. The Bishop believes that
such organizations can do no good to the cause they
profess to aid, while they serve to unnecessarily
disturb the peace and prosperity of the Catholic por
tion of the Irish people. In times like the present,
they have other and more practical objects to en
gage their attention. The Herald has been a deci
dedly loyal newspaper, and one of its articles, ap
proving of the AAministration policy in respect to
the war, was copied into The .Press, with compli
mentary allualona. Bishop Wood is 'dated, by the
disloyal paper alluded to, to have placed the Herald
under his ban, in consequence of its loyal senti
ments. It is but just to Bishop Wood that this
statement should be made, that so distinguished
and patriotic & prelate Should not lose the esteem
and admiration of a loyal community.
MILITARY ORDER.—General Cadwallader,
commanding the post of Philadelphia, has issued the
following order: The provost marshal is directed to
the increased number of disorderly soldiers now
within this command, and be Is instructed to adopt
effective measures to secure the speedy arrest and
prompt punishment of all soldiers who may be
guilty of any breach of the peace, or of other conduct
prejudice' to good order and military discipline. For
this purpose he will draw upon the commanding
officer at Camp Couch for such additional force as he
may require.
He is also directed to forbid any armed detachments
of troops frompatrolling the streets or visiting public
places of amusement, under any pretext whatever;
all such duty will be performed by the provost guard,
under his immediate supervision, in order that the
officers and men detailed may be held responsible for
the proper performance of the same.
CHANGE OF 311 - LITANY COMMANDER.—
Major General Cadwallader having been appointed
a member of the Military Commission, to meet at
Nashville, Tenn., Brigadier General 0. S. Ferry,
United States Volunteers, has been appointed Mili

MEETING TO 'ENCOURAGE ENLISTMENTS.
—The citizens of the Third and Eighth wards held
preliminary meetings last evening, for the purpose
of adopting measures necessary to raise their re
spective quotas required by the 'President's last
call. Committees from each precinct were ap
pointed to solicit subscriptions of money, in order to
pay a bounty to those who may enlist in the wards
and be credited to them. Several suggestions were
made in regard to the best means of proceeding,
after Which the meetings adjourned.
RECRUITS WANTED FOR PROVOST GUARD
DIITT.—The advertisement in another column of
this day's Press is decidedly' interesting. Clerks,
musicians, printers, carpenters, and other menhir.
nisi; are wanted. Applicants must be of good ChM,.
raster, and unexceptionable habits, and between the
ages 0118 and 45 years. The recruits, as the listed, will be placed on duty at once, at theprovost
barracks. Thus is offered $ splendid chance to one
thousand men, who desire to serve their country
without incurring the danger of the battle-field.
Such an offer as this is very liberal on the part of
the United Stases Government, and it is versr
dom made in the military department.
Caws BY TBLEcaterii.—The high repu
tation. Philadelphia has won in the world of chess
has been 'increased by the late victory over the New
York players. The ability of our players is thus
acknowledged by the New York Times:—"Upon the
whole, the game in question may be considered as a
fine specimen of chess strategy; and, so far as the
Philadelphia players are concerned, we think that it
would be difficult to select from the records of match
games a better illustration of patient defences and
persevering, unwavering attack, than that which is
exhibited by themonthepresent occasion, and which
will be apparent on a critical examination of the
wore."
STEAMSHIP LINE TO LIVERPOOL.—A
meeting was held On Thuraday evening, at the Penn
sylvania Railroad office, to consider and adopt such
measures as might be thought necessary to establish
a line of steamers between Philadelphia and Liver
pool, in connection with the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company. Able addresses were delivered by gen
tlemen who feel a deep interest in establishing the
line. Committees were appointed, resolutions were
adopted, and finally the meeting adjourned over
until 24th instant. The sum of $lOl,lOO was suth
scribed at the meeting.
WORTHY OF PRAMR.—A new project for
the furtherance of the comfort of our sick soldiers
has recently been adopted at the hospital at Broad
and Cherry streets. It is in the natural of a sohool
for the teaching of writing and arithmetic. The
school hi under the charge of Mrs. A. R liunton,
who given her services entirely without Pecuniary
compensation. About one hundred soldiers are
taught how to write three evenings in the week,
and, since the establishment of the school, theyhave
made quite a marked and successful progress.

LEGAL INTELIAGENOE.
In the Circuit Court of the Bulled States
of the Western District of Pennsylvania.
Josiah B. Evans vs. The Cleveland and Pittsburg
Railroad Company. This was an action of debt,
brought to recover the sum of $15,000 for overdue
coupons on the bonds of the county of Allegheny,
guarantied by theOleveland and Pittsburg Railroad
Company. The coupons Were in the usual form.
The contract of the defendants was endorsed on the
bonds. and read as follows :
" Office of the Cleveland and Pittsburg Railroad
Company, Cleveland, Ohio, October 20, 1853.
" For value received, the Cleveland and Pittsburg
Railroad Company assign the within bond to --,
or bearer, Mid guarantee the punctual payment of
the interest thereon, as it may fall due, at the place
and time specified.
"By order of the Board of Directors of the said
Company. CYRUS PREN PISS, President."
The coupons were made payable semiannually on
the loth day of March and September, at the office
of the Ohio Dile Insurauee and Trust Company of
New York.
The case arose on a demurrer to the plaintiff's de•
claration, and was argued by John C. Knox, Esq.,
of Philadelphia, for plaintiff; and by W. S. C. Otis,
Esq , of Cleveland, and A. W. Loomis, Esq., of Pitts-
burg, for the defendants.
The 'points made by the defendants' counsel were,
That the company bad no power to execute the
contract of guarantee; 2d, That due diligenea had
not been used to enforce payment against the county ;
3d, That suit would not be upon the guarantee in the
name of the holder of the bonds.
The answers to these points by the plaintiff's
counsel, were—lst. That the presumption was in
favor of the authority of the Board of Directors to
execute the guarantee. 2d. That the contract was
made in Ohio, to be executed in New York, and that
by the laws of both of these States ouch a contract
is an original undertaking, upon which the company
was liable to be sued on nonpayment of the interest
at the time and place specified ; and, therefore, the
Plaintiff was not bound to proceed against the coun
ty in the flrat instance. 3d. That the guarantee was
to "the bearer" of the bonds, and that he alone
could maintain the suit.
Judaea OVettlett the case in favor of the

Per Comm.
First, as to the power of the eorporation to make
the contract on which this suit is founded.
It is not necessary to notice the many metaphysi•
cal platitudes to be found in the books, by which
corporations were wont to evade responsibility for
their acts. Their powers will be strictly construed
as between themselves and the State. But modern
corporations are but partnerships, where the indi
viduals are too numerous to act in their own names.
any
_subject necessary to the
m On e tr o a n ots and bind themselves in
tensive powers given by the act of incorporation, it
o tTh i h d e :it tim ol aPy ib l Er e aa a tek s : n o ac eiation. Without noticing the OX
. is Plain that a railroad must have power to contract
with operatives, to bind themselves to pay money,
to raise funds by borrowing, and otherwise. It is
only when called upon to pay their obligations that
the conscience of a corporation (if they can be said
to have any) suggests these astute doubts as to their
power to contract.
This corporation had given certain shares of stock
to the county of Allegheny in exchange for their
bonds—a contract which the two ()corporations were
authorized to make. But county bonds are not
money, and railroad companies must have money to
make their road. Whatever the wealth and respec
tability of the citizens of that county may have
been, and their plenary ability to pay the bonds in
question, those who purchased them might well
doubt their punctuality. But a few years before
this transaction the executive officers of that county
neglected or refused to collect taxes sufficient to
pay the current expenses of the county, and with
an, utter disregard of the laws of the land
they flooded the country with an illegal and lire•
deemable currency. The citizens who were thue re
lieved from paying their taxes by this scheme kept
the currency afloat by common consent, without re
gard to the law. However unjust the suspicion
might have been as regards very many of tee re
spectable citizens of the county, a purchaser of their
bonds might well doubt the punctuality of the pay
ment of the interest, if not dishonest attempts at re
pudiation of the principal. Hence, if the railroad
desired to raise money by putting these bonds into
the market, it was their interest to give them all
possible credit. That, for this purpose, they might
make thia contract of guarantee, cannot be doubted,
if they could make any binding contract at all.
What is the meaning of this contract?
It is to "guarantee to the bearer of the bond the
punctual payment of the interest thereon as it may
fall due at the place and time specified."
The intention of the parties should govern in all
contracts. There is Eu magic in any particular word
used, which might be so defined by grammarians or
judges as to make the contract an absurdity. These
bonds were payable to bearer, and passed by mere de
livery. They required no assignment to satisfy the
requirements of any State statute, or to enable the
holder to sue on them in his own name.
They are a species of commercial securities, intro•
duced within this country. They are construed as
cording to the commercial usages of the world. By
the custom of all civilized nations, and for the bene
fit of commerce, confirmed by judicial decisions of
every nation and State, they have received much
construction as will moat enhance their commercial
value. It is vain for any judge or court to stand uP,
with Blackstone in hand, and attempt to arrest the
will of all the rest of the world by the application of
obsolete doctrines to a new species of security.
There is no reason, founded in policy or morality,
why a State or other corporation may not bind them
selves to pay to bearer both principal and interest,
by instruments under seal. To construe this con
tract of defendant to be a mere warranty of the soli.
Vency of the county of Allegheny would be no better
than a stultification of the parties to it. What the
parties evidently meant was an additional security
for punctuality of payment of the interest on the day
and at the place mentioned in the bond. If the county
has failed to have funds ready at the time and place,
then the covenant of defendants is broken, and an
action lies thereon.
It is not necessary to notice the various decisions of
the Pennsylvania Courts as to their construction of
such a covenant. The contract is made in Onto, to
be executed in New York, where the law is not
hampered by judicial decisions which would compel
a construction of a contract directly contrary to the
plain intention of the parties. This contract is
with -- or beareLa If necessary, the plaintiff
might insert his name in the blank. He does not
sue as assignee of the bond, under the peculiar stem
tute law of the State of Pennsylvania, or any other
State. The plaintiff declares on an original con
tract made with himself. No demand or notice is
necessary to create the liability of the defendants
under this contract.
The courts of the United States do not require the
common law, as received in each State, to be proved
like those of China or Japan. Their statute books
and judicial precedents are received as evidence
without special plea or proof of witnesses.
The plaintiff is entitled to judgment on the demur
rer. But the defendant has leave to withdraw his
demurrer, and to plead issuably if he sees fit. Other- 1 1
wine, let judgment be entered for pleintitf. Per cur.

(Before Mr. Alderman Bailer.]
False Pretences.
A young man_, named Cornelius Dewees, was ar
raigned at the Central Station, yesterday afternoon,
on the charge of misdemeanor in obtaining money
under false pretence . . The defendant had a quan
tity of metallic dust, which he re resented as gold.
He succeeded in selling some of the bogus article ;
hence his arrest. The prisoner Was taken into cus
tody on the oath of James Robinson storekeeper, on
Market street, above Tenth, who h ad purchased $l7
worth of the stuff. The defendant urged the sale on
the ground that he desired money , to pay his hands.
He had been arrested on similar charges. and taken
before .Alierman Devlin ; but it was thought neces
sary to ,have at least one hearing at the Central
Station, where he might be seen by the detectives
generally. None of them knew hint. He was com
mitted, in default of $BOO ball, to answer.
"What the Shoemaker Threw at his Wife."
Janice D. Beam, a Frontstreet shoemaker, was
arraigned at the Central Station yesterday after.
noon, on the charge of beating his wife on Thursday
night and then turning her out of doors. Al she
was going out under the propelling power of his
violence, he, it is alleged, threw a last at her. The
accused was ordered to enter bail in the sum of $6OO
to answer at court.
Custom House Robbery.
Co Thursday afternoon a heavy robbery took
place at the mato= home. The sum of $5,000 in
gold, already in begs 1:13 be taken to the Mint, mys
teriously disappeared, during the temporary, or
ether moinentary, absence [of the lawful custodian
of the money. It may be said that the whole
amount stolen, the premium on gold being 5534 per
cent., reaches the sum of $9,330.
