The latest bit of scandal is to be found in the
arrest, on Saturday, of George W. Matsell A Co.,
of the Police Gazette, on a charge of libel pre
ferred by Mr. Alexander T. Stewart, the well
known importer and millionaire of this city. I
send you the full particulars of the matter.

Ihere was considerable trouble on Saturday
anions the hide merchants and tanners, owing
to the fact that the Custom House authorities
here have received instructions from the Trea
sury Department at Washington to prevent the
import of any hides supposed to be those of cat
tle which have died oi the plague so long preva
lent in Europe.
The case of Martin, the alleged Confederate
hotel-burner, was argued before United State i
i'ommissiouur Osborne, on Saturday, by Mr.
Courtney on behalf of the Government, and by
Mr. Larocque, couneel for the prisoner. The
Commissioner reserved his decision as to the
holding of Martin.
Still another counterfeit of the 25-cent frac
tional denomination made its appearance on
Saturday at the redemption division of the Trea

promptly reacted. Its general appearance was
decidedly bad.
David Bchitf and George Boyce, aged respec
tively twenty-four and twenty-seven, were ar

on suspicion of being the persons who,on Friday
last, in midday, robbed a messenger of the
Farmers' and Citizens' Bank of Williamsburg, of
eighteen thousand dollars in notes and checks,
on the coiner of Beeknian and William streets.
The prisoners are detained for examination at
Police Headquarters, where they have been
identified by the messenger. None of the stolen
money has been recovered.
The'outer door of a safe on th second floor of

attracted the police, who, on their arrival, found
the rooms filled with smoke and burelurlous im
plements strewn on the floor; but the burglars
had fled, and without having succeeded in pene
trating the inner safe door, and consequently
without any booty.
Early yesterday morning two thieves effected
an entrance to the sleeping-room of a man
named Thomas Hearn, on the corner of Tenth
avenue and Twenty-seventh street, and while
onofithem stood threateningly over Mr. Hearn
with a large knife, the other packed up such
portable valuables as the room contained, after
which both scoundrels made their escipe.

LETTER FROM BALTIMORE.
Singular Coincidence The Maryland
Legislature- Tne Registry I. w Par
don of a Mnrderer, Etc. Etc.
Special Cwresplnd-nce of The Evening Telegraph.
Baltimore, January 21, 1806.
A most singular coincidence in reference to
the case of Mrs. Grinder, who was executed at
Tittaburg, on Friday last, for murder by poison
1 ng, is the fact that one of her victims, Mrs.
Caruthers, is the same name of an entire family
of Carutheis, including father, mother, sons, and
daughters, who were poisoned about fifty years
ago in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, by a young girl
named Rachel Claik, a domestic in the house of
Jlr. Caruthers.
If we are not mistaken, two, three, or
more ot the family died. Andrew Caruthers, an
eminent lawyer of Carlisle, who had a very large
practice and died a tew years ago, it may be re
collected, was very lame and much deformed,
the muscles and sinews of his arms, hands, and
legs belli? contracted and drawn up to a painful
degree. This was the result of the poisoning re
ferred to, from which he never recovered. It
was alleged that jealousy caused the youthful
murderess, wno was represented as very hand
some, to perpetrate the crime.
I have often seen notices in the public prints
since the execution of Mrs. Surratt, and now, in
commenting on that ot Mrs. Grinder, that only
a certain number of women have been hung in
this country. The case of Rachel Clark, how
ever, was always overlooked. She was publicly
executed in Carlisle some fifty years aeo. Her
body was got possession of by Dr. Geddis, of
fkewville. Pa., who had the bones put on wires.
and set up in a box in his office, where tliev re
mained for many years, and possibly may yet be
seen in me same town.
The creueral outlines of what I have here nar
rated are true, and will be sustained bv refer
ence to the history of the court proceedings in
Carlisle. The whole case was a most singular
4 ana romantic one.
One of the most asrreeable entertainments
which I have seen lor a long time took place
here yesterday, at the tormal opening ot a new
hotel in Fayette stieet, near Bar u urn's. Not less
than two thousand persons, embracing our most
prominent business men and merchants, parti
cipated. Our legislature his 'cone to work in real
earnest, passing odls to encourage iuternal im
provemeuts, such as railroads, manufactures,
etc. etc.
The new Registry l.iv, which severely pinches
all who have beenilisloval. and operate sorelv
against the Democratic purtv. is causing much
talk, but, we are informed, the members of the
Legislature are not disposed to change it, at
least lor the present.
Lieutenant Offley, of the 1st Delaware Cavalry,
who, unfortunately, when under the influence
of liquor shot and killed a person named White,
for which offense h wa tried and sentenced to
imprisonment in the citv jail, has had his

1'attie Mattin, Captain Daniel Smith. The ves
sel belonged to Philadelphia, and has tw..
trading South since last September, freighted by
Mr. John 8. Lee and Mr. B. F. Archer, of this
city. She was lost at Ilatterai on the 7ih instant.
Captain Smith, of Camden, and a colored cook,
were frozen to death. Two of the crew, one of
whom was the captain's brother, were saved,
after remaining on the wreck five days and feed
ing on the body of the dead cook the last twenty
four hours. Captain Smith was one ot our mo ft
esteemed citizens, and leaves a wile and family
of small childien to inon.m Ills low?.
Burglabt. At a late hour on Friday
nttrht, a colored boy, named Geonre Washington
Johns, forcibly entered the house ot Mr. Bolev,
also colored, and stole Ofty-eleht dollars. He
was arrested by Marshal Campbell before morn-,
inor. Some days before Johnilind been paid a
trifle by Holey' lor rme service, and the former
saw where the latter kept ills money. Mrs.
Boley was in the house when the robbery was
committed, but beinehelplc" from affliction she
could make no resistance, and the fellow "took'd
no 'count ob do olo 'oman." '
Sentenced. On Saturday, Judge Van
dke passed sentence on the following persons:
years in the penitentiary; Josish Cushat, stealing
a horse ana carina are, nve years; wuuara Julius,

two years; Robert Roberts, for stealing twenty
turkeys, one year.
New Ferry Boat. A splendid ferry
boat, built of iron, was placed on Cooper's Ferry
on Saturday. She is highly spoken or as all that
could be desired for durability, speed, and ca
pacity. She is named the Atlantic, and will
greatly add to the facilities for oros-lug passon
gers to. and from the Camden and Atlantic, and
the Raritan and Delaware Bay Railroads. This
is the third new boat put in service at this ferry
within three months.
Crdei,. On Sunday morning the body of
a male child, about two weeks old, was found in
the graveyard on Fifth street, above Plum. It
was frozen stiff, and in almost a nude condition.
Coroner Roberts took charge of the body. The
mother who could have consigned herbffspring
to mis norm Die aeatn, on such a coia nignc,
must have sunk to the lowest depths of de
pravity, unless It was the result of Insanity.

St. Agnes' Day The Eve of St. Agnes
The Festival and its Traditions Its Poetry
and Quaint Superstitions. Yesterday was. St.
Agnes' Day, and Saturday was, of course, St.
Agnes' Eve, a festival of unwonted interest ta all
uumarrted and marriageable ladies. St. Acnes,
than whom there is no saint more revered by
the Catholic Church, has always been considered
as the patroness ot purity, chastity, and
maidenly modesty. St. Jerome, writing in the
fourth century, says that "tne tongues ana the
pen.- of all nations have been employed in her
praises;" homilies, hymns, and other effusions
nave been written in her honor in all languages.
St Ambrose, St. Austin, and ether Fathers have
indited her panegyric; St. Martin of Tours was
singularly devoted to ner; ana iuomas anempis
selected her as his spiritual guardian, which his
works amply testify. The leeend does not tell
wno were ner parents, or wnaT, tneir rnnK in
life, but takes up her biography abruptly
thus:
"There lived in the city or Home a maiden whos-
name was Agues; sno was not more than thirteen
years old, but bavins followed Christ irom her In
fancy, she was as distimrii'shod tor her gracious
sweetness and humility as tor her surpassing beamy .
It chanced that the son of tsempromus, the Protect
of Koine, beheld her one day as he roue through the
citv. when he became violently enamored, and de
sired ber tor his wile ; but the maiden repelled bis
advances, ana rejected nis cos iv presents, replying
that she had associated heiself to a heavenly spouse.
On which the voung man was seized with nch
jealousy and rage that he went home, fell upon his
bed, and became sica almost unto death. His lather.
being iniormed ot tne cause oi nis malady, repaired
to Agnes, and to her parents, and besought them to
accept bis son : hut all bis entreaties were unavail
ing. Having ooiaiy proiessea nerseu a unnstian,
Sempronius resolved to subject her to the most
savace and revolting outrages, under the authority
ot the bloody ediois of the mporor Diocleaian.
Having borne their tortures, and successfully resist
ing their machinations, she wag eventually con
demned to die. Overjoyed on hearing ber sentence,
St. Ambrose says 'she went to the place of execution
more cheer mlly than others to a wedding.' The
spectators wept on seeing her loaded with totters,
and fearless under the very knife of the execu
tioner, who. with a trembling hand, cut off her bead
with a single blow." (January 21, a. li. BU4 )

x b (I nil jit iu iuuui.uvuai kuuu duq nas
fire tor that purpose, but the flames were sud
denly extinguished, and she stood unharmed;.
while the executioners were slain by the force
of the tire, which had no power over her. But
the wicked deputy and the idolatrous priests
commanded the executioner to ascend the pile.
and end her life with the sword. Looking up to
heaven, she yielded up her pure spirit, and tell,
Dathed in blood, in the thirteenth year 01 her
oge."
Her legend further states, that "Eight davs
alter her death she appeared to per parents
(who were praying by her sepulchre!, all radiant
01 aspect, arrayed in robes 01 wnite, attenae i oy
vircine with garlands 01 pearls, and a lamb
whiter than the driven snow." Hence she is
usually portrayed with a lamb by her side
which, in C hristian art, 13 the emblem ot inno
cence, meekness, modesty: in this bense it is
liiven 10 r. Asrr.es. of whom Massillcn said so
beautit ully, "Where there U no reliston there is
little modesty; where there i" no modesty, there
is little religion." The connection of her natae
witn the Latin term tor a lamb (Afinus) has pro
bably led to the association ot tins animal with
her memory. On this anniversary there still is a
procession in Rome, Oien a lamb, hishly deco'
rated, is led through the principal streets.
St. Aunes is the favorite saiut t the Roman
women." The traditional reverence paid to her
memory has been kept alive to this very hour
bv the r local associations, and bv two famous
churches at Rome bearing her name one within
and one without the walls. The first stands on
the west side of the Plaz.a Navonn, on the very
spot where smd the house of infamy to which
she was dragged by the soldiers. "Often," ob
serves Mrs. Jameson, "have I seen the steps ot
this church so crowded with kneeling worship
pers that 1 could not make my way among them.
'lnev were principally market women, and otaeri
of the lower order with distaffs, who came to
pray for the blessings of meekness and chastity
rare pilts in these regions." The other church
of St. Agnes is outside the "Pious Gate;" it
was erected by Constantino the lireat, at the
request of his daughter, and is one of the
most , enerable ot the older churches in Rome.
Beneath the altar is the sarcophugm contain ins
her remains. .

A Bold "Bitrol art. On Sunday morning,
between 12 and 3 o'clork, a most darinnr burglary
wa.i committed in the repairing room of the tai
loring establishment ot William James Neill,
in the fourth story ot the Tresa building, at
Seventh and Chesnut streets. The room was
um d entirely as a workshop, and only such ea la
ments as were in hxnds to be repnired were there
at the time of the robbery. The door was
opened with false keys, and from the indications
the thieves rorooined for somo time, and eujoyed
themselves to their heart's content. They left
their pipes, half filled with tobacco, upon the
table, but completely stripped the establishment.
It is supposed that the burglaia were alarmed by
fhe entrance ot a lodger as a portion of the cloth
ing abstracted was found upon the stairway. It
adds somewhat to the boldness of the robbery to
know that the attaches of the Sunday 1'rcm
were in the building at the time, and that the
locality is one ot the most public in the city.
Ihere nave been several attempt mode to break
into the store of the Messrs. Neill, but ai a pri
vate watchman always remains in the room at
nlifht they have not heretofore been successful.
It becomes all business men to look carefully
alter their interc-ts, as the hordes of scoundrels
who infest our c U are always upon the look-out
for a favorable opportunity to relieve some one
of their property. In the present case no clue
has been obtained calculated to fix the felony
upon any individuals, but our sharp detectives
arc on the guivive. ' ,
Chase Afteb a Fbtjonf-r. About a
week since four roughs went into a tavern keot
by a one-armed man, in the Twenty-fourth Ward,
and after bcatlnir him, one ot them striking hlni
over the head with a pilchor, they robbed the till
or an tne money it contained and lett. a war
rant for their arrest was Issued by Alderman
Johnson and plnced In the hands of OlIlceT Prit
ner. The otienders tied to K.cii wine, where they
were followed by the olHcer. Hearing that they
were being pursued by an officer ot the law they
next left for Leiperville, a short distance llii's
side of old Chester. The olllcer still continued
the chase, and following alter them succeeded
in arresting one of the gang, who gives the name
ot Abin Dougherty. The ollicer started to r.jturn
to the city, and not being able to meet the tra n,
walked with his prisoner the whole distance.
Both prisoner and captor were pretty well tired
out upon their arrival here. Dougherty was
commuted tor trial.
