For the Spy A LABORER IN LUCK. AN EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY A number of sears ago, it will be re membered, Boston, New York, Philadel phia and Baltimore were successively, visited by a band of English burglars and rubbers, who secured their plunder in every instance without being detect ed. heavy losses were experienced by the jewelry establishments of Boston and New York, and a number of silk houses suffered to a considerable extent in Phila delphia, but the robbers were never de• tested and no possible clue could be had of their whereabouts, or of the manner of their disposal of the stolen property. In the year 1556, these house-breakers and robbers were detected in the robbery of the Fells Point Savings Bank of this city, in the following manner: Shortly after two o'clock, a. in., while the night watch was making his round, he discov ered a dim light through one of the windows of the Savings Bank. and de termined to find the cause—he having never before observed a light in the back office of the Bank. Making his way cautiously to the back of the build ing he clambered to the.bars of the win dow, and on endeavoring to look in found that a black clod had• -been•-•eare fully tacked across the glass in order to obstruct the light, and destroy, at least, that chance of detection of the robbery going on within. Cautiously leaving the window, the officer retraced his steps and secured assistance, surrounded the building and arrested the burglars, who by this time had blown open the vaults, and collected the funds of the Institution preparatory to a departure. They were three Englishmen—the minor portion of a band of " cracksmen," who came to America in 1849, to "seek a fortune." They were taken to the Station House and locked ap. The next day they were sent to the jail to answer the charge before the criminal court. On summing up the cash of the de posits in the vaults of the Bank, it was ascertained that one hundred and fifty thousand dollars was missing ; and the supposition was that the amount had been carried off by accomplices, before the arrest of the burglars. The three men arrested were confined in the city jail, but for some reason unknown to the public, were never brought to trial; and though repeated inquiries have been made respecting their whereabouts, no one has been able to give a correct an swer of what became of them. This is certain—that they never were heard of by the public after they entered the jail. The missing funds of the Bank never "turned up"—and there the mat ter has rested ever since. The Bank has continued to prosper, and to day ranks as the " Third .Yational Bank uj Baltimore." In the year 1865, the City Councils of this city passed an ordinance for the widening of Holliday street, from Fay ette to Second ; and as soon as the neces sary provisions for the work was accom plished, it was carried into effect; the old houses having been removed at an expense of no trifling value to / . /e and money. In the Fall of 1866 - , the old German Reformed Church, known by all Baltimoreans as Ileiner's Church, was razeed to the around. There could not be found a citizen, (save those- who profited by it,) who but regretted the loss of the " old town clock" of Heiner's Church. Workmen were engaged for weeks in the removal of the structure, among them an old citizen who had been unfortunate in commercial matters, and was forced to accept work, even that of a day laborer. He worked very freely for two or three days after the razecing commenced, and then left suddenly, no one knowing his reasons, or what had become of him, until a month ago, when it was ascertained that he had come across treasure amounting in the aggre gate to over a hundred thousand dollars, in the rafters of the old church. The treasure was in gold, and so carefully was the old man's good fortune guarded, that it required three days in which to remove it. The treasure was supposed to be the identical money missing by the Savings Bank, when it was broken into by the English cracksmen, over ten years before. The old laborer now rides about in his double-team, and essays to play the gentleman to his very best ability. It is a question of some importance how this amount Gf treasure could have been ; [WHOLE NUMBER 1,954 placed in the position where it was found, and continued to rest for so long a space of time undisturbed ! Will some one answer ? HOWARD. Bait., Md., Feb. 27th, 1867. The Death Warrant of Christ. The following article we find in an old magazine, purporting to be translated from the Courier des Etats (This : " Chance has put into our bands the most imposing and interesting judicial docum !nt to all Christians, that has ever been recorded in human annals : that is, the identical Death Warrant of our Lord Jesus Christ. We transcribe the document from a copy of the translation : SENTENCE rendered by Pontius Plate, acting Governor of Lower Galilee, that JESUS of .Nazareth shall suffer death on the Cross: " In the year seventeen of the empire of Tibernius Cmsar, and the 25th day of March, the city of Holy Jerusalem ; Anna and Caiphas being priests, sacriffcators of the People of God, Pontius Pilate of Lower Galilee, sitting on the presidential chair of the prwtory, condemns Jesus of Nazareth to die on the cross between two thieves—the great and notorious evidence of the people saying: 1. He is a seducer. 2. He is seditious, 3. He is an enemy of the law. 4. He calls himself, falsely, the Son of God. 5. He calls himself the King of Israel. 6. Ho entered into the temple follow ed by a multitude and bearing palm branches in their hands. Order the first centurion, Quillus Cornelius to lead Him to the place of execution. Forbid any person whomsoever, either poor or rich, to oppose the death of Jesus The witnesses that signed the death of Jesus are :-1. Daniel Robani, a Phari see; 2. Johannus Horobable ; 3. Raph del Robani; 4. Capet, a citizen. Jesus shall go out of the city by the gate Strenuous." The above sentence is engraved on a copper-plate, ou one side are written these words : " A similar plate is sent to each tribe." It was found in an an tique vase of white marble, while exca vating in the city of Aqailla, in the kingdom of Naples, in the year 1525, and was discovered by the Commissariat of Arts attached to the French armies. At the expedition, of Naples, it was found enclosed in a - Vox of.ebony in the sacristy of Chartem. The vase is in the !Chapel of Caserta. The French trans ! lation was made by the members of the Commission of Arts The original is in the Hebrew language. The Chartem requested earnestly that the plate might not be taken away from them. The re quest was granted as a reward for the army. M. Dorton, one of the savans, caused a plate to be made of the same model, on which he had engraved the above sentence ; at the sale of his anti quities, it was bought by Lord Howard for 5,880 franc 2. Night Work. Afany of the most brutal murders and greatest crimes committed in the city of Now York, are perpetrated by persons under twenty-five years of age. This shows a very early corruption of morals, and asau eminent jurist once said,is easily traceable to the habit of being from home after dark. Lord Shaftesbury stated that in nearly all the cases of great crimes which came before the courts the evidence showed that the mor.il character became vitiated between the ages of &gilt and sixteen. Thee two terrible facts put together should make every city parent, especially, tremble; and if it should lead to the adoption of the following sugges tions, it will save many a heart from go ing down in sorrow to the grave, or from an embittered old age. Da nut allow yourehildren to form the habit of "going home" to spend the night with their companions—no, nut one in a year. Keep e•em off the streets after sun down, unless you are with them. Do all that is possible to have a loving, cheerful, and happy fireside, as a means of weaning them from the street. Much can be done in this direction by provid ing amusements, and having the children occupied in something interestiug,proftta ble or new. I Keep the birthdays; let them •be occasions of harmeless festivities ; arrarwe that all the holidays, too, shall be observed appropriately. Let the father and mother remember that the exhibition before their children of a loving, affectionate, and quiet deport ..!, went towards one another in the home i circle is a powerful bond of union in a family ; the very sight of it wakes affec t tionate sympathies in the hearts of child- I ren, and cherishes the same delightful I feelings in themselves, and soon the housebecomes the home of love and !quiet delight. Within half a mile of us ithere are quite a number of families of this sort, some of them among the wealthiest in the city, but it is sngular . to observe that in almost every case it is in consequence of the mother's all-pervad ing influence—mothers who are quiet, gentle, lady-like, but firm in the right always. Many 'homes are made distaste ful to children by incessant restrictions and criticisms, by innumerable rules and : regulations. A household is better regu lated by an affectionate pliancy than by an inflexible rig idity; yielding in non ' essentials, but firm as a rock in all ques tions of right and wrong. The night work from eight to sixteen determines the life character of millions.—Hall s Journal.
