An Alleged, Forger Captured — A,Rival of Hun tingdon, Conroe Edwards, and' John Sadie)'—-Life and Adventures, Some six months ago a mimber of daring and extraordinary forgeries were perpetrated upon the Bank of Commerce, the Manufactu rers’ and Mechanics' Bank, and the Consoli dation Bank, of this city. The amount of money-obtained was $lO,OOO, and the circum stances excited a great deal of comment in police, newspaper and mercbontile circles. The facts of the. case "were communicated to the Detective' Department of our police, and Officers Edward Schlemm, George H. Smith, and Charles W. Wood were detailed for the purpose of tracing up the author of the suc cessful crime. Their suspicions fell upon a man named Ross, who had been figuring in the police records of some of the Eastern cit ies as participator in forgeries that had been committed in Boston and New York. '■ For six months, quietly, but calmly, the of ficers pursued the investigation, without suc cess. The object of their search was too shrewd, and too well versed in the ways and means of police business, to leave any traces of his progress for the benefit of anxious and inquiring: detectives, and’ he was, therefore, permitted to sport in the cities of the Middle States on the proceeds of his„oporations. Two or three weeks since, however, Captain Wal ling, of tho-New York Detective Police, who was also interested in the success of the in vestigation, despatched a package of Bank notes on the Orange County Bank of N. Y., through Adams’ Express, accompanying the same by a.letter to Boss through, the post-of - lice. The package, arrived, and detectives Wood and Smith kept a. watch on the office for two weeks, but no one appeared to claim the bundle, and it was at last returned' to the ■ New York detective, and the rase abandoned. Last Saturday evening, -however, a young man called at the Express office, and claimed the package which had been returned. His description, was obtained, and on the strength it, this young man was arrested, on Third st., by officer Smith. On his person wore found ‘. letters and documents which proved,' to the satisfaction of the Officers,-that Boss was in ' Pittsburg. Officers Wood and Schlemm im mediately left for Pittsburg, in the next train, : and arrived there on (Sunday morning. They at once; proceeded to search the hotels, but without the slightest degree of success. They dropped into the St.' Clair' Hotel; and wore ~ about to give up in despair, when, in conver sation with the barkeeper, they learned that a man and his lady, named Crawford, in com pany with a person who was supposed to be either a Spaniard or an Italian, wore there, and had been there for a week or two. The description of' Crawford satisfied the others that ho was none other than Boss, and they proceeded to make the arrest. This “Spaniard or Italian” was none other than a negro slave who had been purchased by Boss, but who was more of a companion than servant to him. Ho was perfectly white, and no one would have, supposed him to be the possessor of negro blood. Being stran gers m Pittsburg, and wisely supposing that an attempt to arrest the negro would be con strued into an effort to convey a fugitive slave : into slavery, an officer, of the Pittsburg force was sent for, and the party proceeded up stairs into the room occupied by Crawford. Officer Schlemm , entered and : introduced . himself. Boss was engaged in conversing 1 with his wife and the negro. Ho rose and shook bands with him cordially, saying that Schlemm really had the advantage of him, ■ and wished to know to what purpose he owed . the honor of the visit. Officer Schlemm pro ' duood . the warrant, and, with as much affa , bility as was possible under the circumstan ces, informed Boss that he was his prisoner. , Boss smiled very calmly, and, with an air of dignity most refreshing to behold, replied: “Sir, this is strange : you must be laboring , under a mistake. I assure you, my dear sir, on my honor as a gentleman, that I know nothing of these charges. However, I recog nize your authority, and hold myself ready to accompany you when you will and where you will.” ; Mr. Schlemm replied that the business was a very disagreeable one, but ho was compelled to discharge his duty. - • Mri Boss, “Certainly, sir, certainly. I ap preciate your position perfectly. lam a gen tleman, and .I .only ask to be treated as such.” The next train left at three o’clock, and on that train “Crawford,” his wife, and their “foreign friend” came to Philadelphia.

She is intense ly devoted to her husband, and came with him to this city. • ’ The negro, named Bobort Smith, alias Bur nell, was purchased by Boss, hrNew Orleans, some five years ago, and has been his compan ion since, travelling with him over Europe, and occupying the relation of a friend. . Hois ■very accomplished and highly intelligent. When Boss was arrested, he offered to go South and sell himself into slavery to obtain money to assist his. master. The offer was re fused, and Smith remains in the city awaiting future events. - = i It is said that Ross was the author of the forged pardon which came very hear releasing Huntingdon, the celebrated New York forger,’ fo°m Sing Sing prison.

The Hartford Times relates,the following': —A Congregational church in a neighboring State got so completely enlisted in the Presi dential contest for'Premont and Jessie, that little attention was given to religious ques tions. The minister was constantly preach ing, praying and exhorting upon political is sues, and his deacons and the laymen followed suit at the prayer and conference meetings.— Finally, a worthy old farmer, one of the staun chest and best members of the church, and a firm, undoviating Democrat, waS called upon to offer a prayer. O, Lord,” said he, “ uphold the Democra tic party, which has received thy support ever since the great Jeffersonian struggle. Con tinue to bless that party which has, under thy projection and providence, brought great bles sings upon this republic. If it be thy pleas ure, and I believe it will be, O, carry that party through this struggle to a competent triumph. Bless James BuShanan, the tried and honest statesman, and guide.him safelyto the Presidential chair. . BlosS John C. Breck inridge, the young and zealous Democrat, and open to him the path of duty, as well as that which leads to the Vice Presidency. Give themiyictory. -O, bless the opponents of De mocracy perspnally, but utterly destroy their fanatical and injurious schemes, if it.bo thy will to do so, as I verily believe it is. Be bn the side of the Democracy; 0 lord, as thou hast been for the last fifty-six years, and on the 4th of March next wo shall witness the inauguration of Pennsylvania's favorite son, and the people of this country will once more settle down in their peaceful pursuits, instead of warring wickedly, section against section, interest against interest, and man against his brother. Arid, oh 1 I beseech the especially to free the Christian churches from the polit ical strife and bitterness which are rending them asunder, destroying their usefulness, arid turning them unhappily into mere political; associations. Let us hear something of, thy word and’mercy on the Sabbath. We have already been plied to fullness with political fanaticism, and our minister has become a stump orator against the good old party which thou, in thy wisdom, hast upheld so long, and so'repeatedly guided to victory and sustained in the establishment of sound measures.. Oh turn his mind from these things arid direct his atterition to his legitimate religious du ties, "Dr turn him over directly into, the hands of the Pederol .or Abolition party, arid lot them take care of him, and provide us a true minister of the gospel. At any rate, the pres ent state of things cannot last. If politics are to rule, I shall claim one-half the time in be half of the Democratic party, so that there may bo fair discussion within these wails.— Amen.” , Thiswo.B a'stumpor. Jt.'wns the first priij er ever puhlioly offored ih that church fbr tho success of the Democratic party and its nomi nees, though hundreds- of prayers mud. exhor tations had been made, against that party.— When the old,man finished thorewas silence for half an hour, and the meeting then, ad journed. And thus ended the, political proa-; ching in that church. From that time for ward the minister attended to his gospel du ties, and left all political questions to he set tled by the people, outside of the church.— Again the society prospered, and there was a better feeling among its members—more Christian charity, more brotherly love.' The old man’s earnest prayer was answered in more respects than one. Disbanding of the Revolutionary Army.

Will their love of country overcome the promptings of selfishness and the. keen and bitter stings of disappointment ? Will they refuse to listen to the song of the syren, that justifies and urges self-remuneration ? Will these care-worn and neglected veterans pile their arms, and literally beg their passage homewards?

The essential points are warmth and moisture, the cattle being, well sheltered and duly cared for.

Washington’s Leave Taking. The hour now approached in which it be came necessary for the American chief to take leave of his officers,, who had boon endeared to hun by a long series of common sufferings and dangers. This was done in n solemn manner, Tho officors having previously assembled for the purpose, General Washington joined them, and, calling for a glass of wine, thus addressed them: “With a heart full of love and grati tude, I now take leave of you. I most de voutly wish that your latter days may he as "prosperous and happy as your former ones have.boon glorious and honorable.” Having drank, ho added, “I cannot come to each of you to takp my leave, but shall be obliged to yon if each of you will come, and take me by the hand.” Gen. Knox, being next, turned to him. Incapable of utterance, Washington grasped his. hand, and embraced him. The officers came up successively, and he took an affectionate leave of each of them. Not a word was articulated on either side. A majestic silence prevailed. The tear of sensibility glistened in every eye. The tenderness of the scene exceeded, all description. When the last'of the officers had taken his leave, Wash ington loft tho room,, and passed through the corps of light infantry to tho place of pmbar kation. The officers followed nim .in a solemn mute procession, with dejected countenances. On his entering the barge to cross the North River, he turned towards the companions of his glory, and, by waving his hat, bid thorn a silent. adieu.

Three trape zes, or pieces of wood above five feet long, sus pended from ropes attached to the extremi ties, hang from the roof of the cireus, one in the center and the others at about forty feet distance at each side. A young man named Leotard ascends to a small platform arranged for him above the place where the musicians sit, over the passage for the horses into the ring.. The trapeze nearest to him being put in motion, ho catches it as it flies up, and then, after balancing himself very carefully, he seizes, it with both hands and darts into open space. After flying to the utmost ex tent of the ropes, he comes back with the re coil, and alights in safety on the' spot from which ho started. When he has done this two or three times, to show that the exercise is mere sport to him, he again launches him self into mid air, but not this time to return as before; for when the trapeze has reached its furthest point, he suddenly lets go his hold, and, borne by the impetus imparted, seizes the second trapeze, which in its turn carries him forward to the length of its rope, where he again quits it, and springs to the third trapeze, and, borne forward by it, alights on another platform at the opposite side of the [ circus, and in face of that from which ho had j started. The performer again seizes the third trapeze, and flmgs'himselt forward as before, flics to its furthest limits, and then quitting it, springs to the second, which, however, ho does not leave, but permits it to fly back to ward tho third, then os it descends, since his back is still towards the trapeze which ho quitted the moment before, ho all at once lets go with both hands, and lurning.in the air seizes it again in time to meet the third, by catching which he again roaches the platform. Once more ascending to tho platform above tho orchestra, ho springs forward hanging by his hands to the trapeze, and quitting it as St approaches tho end of its range he gives a somersault in the air, and seizes the second trapeze as ho descends 1 When it is consid ered how truly brain, eye, and muscle must respond to each other in these performances, tho whole exhibition must be pronounced one pf. the most extraordinary that has over been soon of its peculiar description Sheep Should have Wathb. —-Many sup pose that sheep can get along very well with out water in winter especially if they can get snow to oat. This is another great mistake. Sheep do not drink large quantities at a time, but require it often; especially if they are not fed with roots.

If you find farming is not suited to your taste, dr your strength, or circumstances; if you like mechanism better, or have a capaci ty for business,—-whatever eventually you en gage in, it is all the same, you hove begun right. The city blades have begun wrong; and in due time you will see it. Their fath ers and mothers will, in the end, see it, too. Do not feel envious of the pleasures a hot-house njan enjoys, butremember, not in a malicious, but sober spirit, that such plants wither ear ly. By the time you have acquired fixed ha bits of industry, and acquired a corresponding perfection of mind and body, your delicately reared cotemporary of the town begins tqieel the debilitating effects of idleness and dissipa tion. Ho is not alone to blame for a weak body, and a profitless mind; it is the result of a system, but he cannot escape from its ef fects ; those he must endure for himself in his own person; His father may be'a profession al man, or a merchant, dr may be merely riqh; the chances are fifty against one that the son will not replace his father. Such is the result of well-settled experience; business falls into the hands of those who are most competent; it does not descend to heirs. It is the coun try boys, after all, who do the city business. Observing men ‘ have often' stated this fact; and inquire into the origin of Cleveland, or Boston, or New York, you will find it to be so. All external circumstances lire in favor of the son or the clerk succeeding to the trade Of the old firm; but the son seldom, almost never, dies in the position of a partner of the house.; Why is it? Simply because habitual industry is wanting—habitual indolence is not wanting. With aU the external odds against it, the country furnishes the cities their prin cipal business men. If intelligent, faithful, and persevering, and above all, cheerful and contented, the chances are that the lad with j the hoe will eventually do the business of the j father of the lad in gloves, who is now luxuri ating in his travels- A Marriage Harried Up. : A Lynohcurg correspondent of Harper’s Magazine tolls the following capital story: Jim B.—— was always father a mischievous one, and for some y ears was acting clerk of our city court. ’While thus engaged, he Was called on by one Michael O’Shaugnessey for amiavrmgd license, -which was granted. The next day Michael called again.' After sitting silent for some time,-and stroking down his hair upon his forehead, ns only a bashful Irishman does or can do, he opened his busi ness : “Mister. B- you mind I got a license from you on yesterday; now, Mr. B——; don’t you tell anybody, but I’ve gone and lost it. Now, what's to bo did ?” After amusing himself a little with the poor fellow’s perplexity, Jim kindly made out arid harided him a duplicate; and Mike with inany bows and thanks started. Just ns ho reached the door Jim called him back. “Mike,” said ho, girl is she ?” , “Faith, Misthor B , I’m thinking she could get to Heaven this minit; Saint Peter would take her for one of the holy angels.” ~ “And she had a heap of beaux, I reckon ?” suggested Jim. " “Troth, J had the divil’s own time a gittin’ uv her,” responded Mike; “And when’s.,the marriage to be?” again questioned Jim. “Plazo the Virgin, next Sunday afthornoon, at the church,” out of the fullness of his heart, said Mike. “Then,” said Jim, in his most confidential tone, “this is Thursday; now, Mike, I advise [ you to keep your eyes on her from now till then, for some of those other follows might find that lost license, and take that girl to the priest, and marry her by order of Court.” “Bedad, they won’t!” broke from his lips, as Mike burst into a long trot, which ho never broke until ho found his girl, and trotted her to the church, whore, bn that same Thursday afternoon, the twain wore made one flesh. “Misther B-—r-,” said Mike, on meeting him some months after, “that was a powerful hot evening, and ’twas a power, long race. I had; and if I had known as much as I know now, I don’t think I’d boon in, such a hurry!” “what: sort of a looking FABLE.

Farming for*Young Men. —lf a yoting man.wants to engage in n business that will insure him, in middle life, the greatest amount of leisure time .there is nothing more sure than farming: If ho has an independent turn of mind, lot him be a farmer. If ho wants to engage in a. healthy occupation, lot him till the land. In short, if lie would bo indepen dent, lot,him get a'spot of earth. Keep with in his moans to shun the lawyers; be honest to have, ti clear.conscience;. improve the soil so ns to leave the world bettor than ho found it and then if ho cannot live happily and die content, there is no hope for him.' insects and their Human Prey, In Africa there is an insect called IheGdin ca worm, which burioa itself in, the .fl'cslv of man. It is long, slender, and found like a. fiddle siring; its length varies from six inch es to'twelve feet. The British'soldiers sta tioned at Bombay were frequently attacked by, it; out of three hundred and sixty men, one hundred and ninety-nine suffered froih its ab tack. When it introduces itself info the flesh it is a very ’ minute parasite, not' more than; one-sixtieth part of an inch in length, and ve ry slender, and exists in low, muddy shores. This little intruder now grow immensely, and' becomes the parent of a numerous offspring.' It produces itohing and a crawling sensation, ana finally a boil forms, and as this breaks the head of the animal protrudes, which is then caught and gently extracted ; care being taken not to break it, otherwise serious and Oven fatal effects are; apt to ensue. Tho’ex; traction is very tedious work. The natives cut the skin when they are near the surface) and then extract them. : 1 Medical writers describe no less than about , twenty varieties of parasite, which infest the) human system. Says a recent writer: “ Itis a notorious fact that numerous parasites crawl over our" surface, burrow beneath .the, skin) nestle in our entrails, and riot and propagate their kind in every corner of our frames; and scarcely a tissue or n,u organ but. is occasion ally profaned by their inroads) .Bach has al so its parasite or special domicile; one specii men of strangle chooses the heart for its place of abode, another inhibits the arteries,, a third the kidneys. Myriads of minute worms hayq been found coiled np ip, the muscles. A. lit; tl ejhike, very much like a miniature flounder, lives stooped in gall, ip the liver. If the skin of the nose bo squeezed, a cheesy matter will exude, and if examined By the microscope, ted to one several animalcules, extremely minute but of a complicated jstrupture ; wiil,bp qeen..;r-: They are present in a majority ;of jiving,, per sons. It is less than one hundredth part of an inch in length, has a head, chest, abdo man, eight legs, and very movable jaws.-,. By .recent researches it has been proved be yond a doubt that a small insect is the cause of itch; the insect, by skillful management, can be caught and seen under a microscope). It seems a strange and humiliating fact, that the human body should provide food .and Hab itation for so many and snoh varieties of these inferior creatures." • TJur Hest fflannre /or Tfees. 1 In speaking of the question before the Fruit Growers’ .Society of Western Now York, hold at Boohester, September 22d, "What are the best manures for the apple, pear, and, othei; fruits, and what are the best moans to reno vate old apple orchards W. P.: Townsend said that he remembered how the old orchard got all mossy, and his father set him to scrppp the-bark of the trees. . After working a whOa ho got sick; of it, and told his father if ho would let him take the team and draw some manure into theold orchard he would sorapp the trees without injuring the bark. ; He drefv in upon those premises an average of half a load to each tree; next year the bark begad to, peel, and of course to bring with it the moss, and they increased in vigor v The next summer turned the hogs in the orchard, and they pretty thoroughly rooted it i all .’overi Even to the tops of the trees the.pld bark had started, and the body hod all the thrifty and vigorous look of young trees;. „ The, fruit that used to be half or three-fourths wormy, is now; fair, smooth, and free‘from vermin. By im vigorating the trees he destroyed the insects' that had destroyed the. fruit. Common bard yard manure was best for trees. Had triedit for pear trees also. It should be applied in, the fall, and then you got the benefit in tha next twp years’ crop. Apply twenty-fife loads to the a.erc every year in the fall- . ’ , . Tub Great following beau 1 ; tiful passage is taken from Timothy Tiy comb’s or Dr. Holland’s ‘‘Preachings upon Popular Proverbs,” which the (Massachusetts) Republican is now giving to the world: . “ The body is to die; so much is certain.—. What dies beyond ? No one who passes the charmed boundary conies back to tell.. The. imagination visits the realms of shadows-r sent out from some window of the over life’s restless watorsr—but wings its way wearily back with no olive leaf in its beak as a token ' of emerging life, beyond the closely bending' horizon. The great sun comes apd goes in heaven, yet breathes no secret of the ethereal wilderness. ’ The crescent moon cleaves her nightly passage across the upper deep, but tosses overboard no message arid displays no signals. The sentinel stars chSUSnge Bitch other as they walk their nightly roilndi; but wo catch no syllable of their countersign, which gives passage to the heavenly camp.— Shut in ! shut in! • Between this and the oth er life there is a great gulf fixed, across which neither eye nor foot can travel. The gentle friend whoso eyes wo closed in the’ir lost sleep long years ago,'died with' faptriro in her wonder-stricken eyes,' d smile of ineffable joy . upon her lips, and hands folded over a trium phant heart; but her lips were past speech,, and intimated nothing of the vision that en thralled her.” , . > Mason and Dixon’s Line.—On the 4th of ■ of August, 1763, Thomas and Kichard Penn,, and Lord Baltimore tyoing together in Loudon, agreed with Charles Masort knd Jeremiah,.
