suggested by the return of the loved one,
James Barrows was now thirty-two years
of age, and had been absent from his native
city for five years, during which time he bad
commanded a'fine ship.
".By the way," said the brother at the end
of half an hour. "I stopped in New York,
on my way here, and saw Rate Waldron
there. She told me she heard you say you

"Alas., James, I will tell you. But 11r . 5 . /.

"Then I must say a hundred better. By

Ambrose hesitated a moment, and then he
placed his hand to his bosom and drew out

thousand dollars in tho whole. It was a
sum he had drawn from the bank that very
day. It was the accumulation of over four
years labor and economy, for the purpose of
paying for his house and store. Ile drew

which tho following is given as the substance
of the Judge's charge to the Jury :
The Judge charged that it was not neces,
mart te.ritaintain the existence of a promise
of 'Marriage; to prove that defendant, in
express words or terms, inado 'premise to
plaintiff'. Any circumstances which usually
accompany parties while holding the:vela.
lion of an engage! .ent of marriage; might
properly be laid before a jury, and if suffi
cient to warrant the opinion that such an
engagement exisfiii, it was all the law
eqnired. It is not necessary that there
shoubil be a premise of marriage in dwell
phraseology—no forma/ promise is reiayrTa.
Frequent visits of the parties—retirinerom

Wants to get Dated Back.
Sn a teptifitylittnilay afternoon last Fall,
a - yOung car Men an adjoining town cants
down to our village, stopped at one of the
hotels, sent out for a clergyman and were
married. The young man paid the foe, took
marriage certificate, and they left the ho
tel a happy couple.
A few days since the young man called
upon the clergyman, wil l h his certificate,
and " wished to to get at dated sack."
" How far back do you wish it dated
inquired the clergyman.
" Why, as near as we can calculate, about
a couple of months," replied'ihe young man.
This the clergyman seemed to decline doing,
but the young man wished he would, " as
he had rather give five dollars than not to
hare it dated back."
The clergyman regretted the necessity of
dating back the certiflzate. and Was very
sory he could not comply with hie wishes

A Singular Case
From the Hanisburg,lienild. 41100 I,t
Developmen# At Harrisburg,.
OOrNTRIL7TITINO ON A LAW:kg SCAllt..l
We stated in Natueday's issue that addi
tional developmenti would be made relstp
to the two men recently killed on the rail
road at Ilighspire. The fact is now fully es
tablished that for some weeks previous to
the accident which resulted in their death,
these men had been residents of our town,
and occupied one of Mr. Coider's houses - in
North street, opposite the Cotton Mill. The
circumstances which led to this discovery,
and to the subsequent development of more
important and startling facts, was detailed
to us on Satuiday by our efficient and oblig
ing Coroner, Dr. W. Barr.
It appears that on Friday forenoon a fe
male calltil at the office of the Coroner, and
etlAtkiA-ifhe-inwo. the , mewls-her-had been
killed on the railroad. Po seemed to be in
great distress, shed tears freely, afri said she
feared that one of them was her husband.—
Med th - o Z,oroher n daguerreotype
likeriess, and requested to kidw if sl,,,rosetn
bled ether of the dead men. Withaa wait
ing fors% reply, she asked if their clothing
had been preserved, and if so whether she
could Me it. The Coroner at time subrblt
led the clothing to kyr termer-Lion- anti th.
moment ens writ see uecatne•excessively
agitated, and ttho excleimect "filet is peer
George's , and the is favor Chatiey's!"—and
immediately sank into t chair and fainted.--1
After a short time the' woman recovered,
when she made a second examination of the
clothing and identified every article. She
conversed very freely with the Coroner •in
regard to herself—slated that one of the men
was her husband, and his name was Will
iams—that she was from Turbeteille, Nor
thumberland county, in this State, and that
she had been living with her husband Ind
his companion in North street, opposite the
cotton mill. Coroner Barr, esti4fied from
previous developments that the dead men
had been counterfeiters and burglars, and
that the woman knew more than she choose
to disclose, determined to search the house;
and immediately after the woman's depar
ture he :tilled in officer Neuman, and the
two visited the house for that purpose.—
During the progress of the search they found
punches and ladels, a variety of acids, saws
and chisels, augers, and a variety of other i
implymentryined for couriterteitim3and hur
glarious purposes—also a lot of unfinished
counterfeit coin. The discoveries made ful- ,i
1144 1 1bilied the fact that the ht . asiness of
counterfelling filitteen cairToTon extensive;
ly in the house.
A lady who residen in the same idocli, g :(n.
formed the Coroner that wlilliVier Avsooti•
gaged in searching the upptr rooms, the
woman previously alluded to carried out a
quantity of metal of some kind, and, other
articles, and threw them into the privy.—
Numerous interesting documents were clis•
covered, containing the names of individuaLs
er ideality members of a regillarly organited
gang of counterfeiters, burglars and horse
thieves, extending from the city of Philatlel
phis all over our State, and to Nebraska and
California. It was also discovered by an
examination of the documents that the man I
known hero as Vickloy, was no less distin
guished a personage than the widely-known
Horse Tamtr and Trainer, G. W. Driesbach,
of Cherokee county, Texas, alias Geo. Vick
ry, Douglas, &c. This fellow It is supposed,
was one of the ring-leaders of the gang alin. , e
alluded/0, The other nun; the woman
claimed as her husband—she said his name
was Williams, that ho had never Assumed
any other._ But pipers . found during the
se - arch showeTthat Ur name(or one ,of his
names) was George Russel
It will he recollected that tho names of
Douglas and Russel oecured frequently In tho
papers and letters found upon the persons of
these two men. Venous other papers and
letters are in possession dr the Coroner,
which will no doubt soon lead to further and
more startling developmenfb, and the im:
plication of certaiq,parties in this county and
the counties of training, Northumberland,
Celumbia and Montour. - The woman (Mrs.
Williams as i sho calls herstlf,) !ere very sud
denly and 1112expcctedlrod Pridiy evening,
in the train for- Philadelphia. Just hefbre
getting into. the omnibus she was seen to
raise one of the stair stapi, take out a quan
tity of something resembling coin, and hur
riedly thrust it into her trunk, When in
formed of this fact the Coroner.. hastened in
pursuit of the woman, but tier care were
gone, and the bird had flown ! Oh Saturday
morning he telegraphed to the Philadelphia
authorities, stated the circumstances, des
cribed the woman, and suggested the seizure.
and Search of her trunk. What the result
was we bare not learned.
