Hew lie Traded en Pittsburgh Firm's Name. The arrest of O. D. Petter, in this city, en charges of obtaining money by falsely rep resentin" a connection with the white lead house efT. If. Xevin & Ce., of Pittsburgh, has been related iu the Inti:lligexceh. The Pittsburgh Times, published by the Xevins, gives some further accounts of his operations : Seme two months age a large, peitly, line looking man giving his name as Smith entered the eliice of T. II. Nevin & Ce.'s leadweik, Allegheny, and solicited an opportunity te sell some mixed paints en percentage. He stated that he was from Kansas City, where he had been engaged iu the same business, and giving as refer ence various iiims in that part of the West with whom T. II. Xevin & Ce., weie acquainted, and withal, being smooth of tongue and of pleasing address, he made a geed impression and was met half way. He was given cards, fcc, and assigned the West as his field of labor, he having ac cording te his story, controlled a trade in that section which was corroborated, as far as such a corroboration went, by his mention of numerous citizens out there with whom the firm of T. II. Nevin & Ce., were also ac quainted. Prier te leaving the city he ad mitted te the firm that financially he ws a bankrupt, and asked the lean of $20 te aid him in getting a start, the aforesaid $-20 te be deducted from his commission en the first sale made. His asking for se trifling a sum disarmed suspicion, and the money was advanced him in the best of feeling and he was sent en his way with a host of geed wishes following in his wake. Rut while he had been cautious at the very eutstart, his success, though it was net a brilliant one, seems te have made him a little careless. After leaving T. II. Xevin & Ce. tie dropped into Titus's um brella stoic en Wed street and pur chased a fine umbrella, paying part cash for it and giving as security . for the payment of the balance, his connection with the firm or T. II. Xevin it Ce. Mr. Tim let him have tee umbrella with some misgivings, and as seen as he had taken his depart ure, communication was had wilh Xevin & Ce. and inquiries made con ccruiiig his authority te tender the firm as seeiuity. Werd was received that Smith had no authority te use the name of T. II. Nevin A; Ce. iu auv such transaction, and immediately after word was sent te the Allegheny mayor's el'liee te have Siuilli put under arrest. In the meantime, Smith probably realizing thai, he was en deavoring te .make hay in wet weather, ic turued te Tim's, paid the balance due en the umbrella and left, presumably for the West, befeic the arrest by the Allegh eny police could be accomplished. He had been gene but a few days when T. II. Xevin ec Ce., began te receive letters of iu- quiry concerning this man Smith from par tics from whom he had borrowed small sums of money, se that it was evident that instead of turning his face westward, as wan the'agieeinent he had gene East, even as it was new equally evident that he was a swindler. T. II. Nevin fc Ce. inserted warnings in the trade papers east and west, but still the letters of inquiry con tinued te pour in. The letters were, with out a single exception, from people from whom he had obtained the lean of a tri lling sum te "enable him te reach the next town, wheie he was expecting a draft, e.te." His having iu his possess ion the color cards of the firm he claimed te represent, caused his stories te be heard as gospel truth, and the small favor asked grained without hesi tancy. He failed te sell a single pound of paint, neither was his authority re make a sale once questioned, showing that, his whole time was spent in finding these who could be gulled out of a live or ten dollar note. An effort was made te step him in Isis swindling career but without success, lie always being .just leaving a town as these who very much desired an audience with him were entcihigit, until Friday last when a note of inquiry was received from a gentleman iu Lancaster, this state, who it subsequently turned out was the alias Smith's brother-in-law, aski.-.g whether or no Smith was in the employ of the firm. A denial was transmitted and also a re quest that he be arrested. The brother-in-law scut, word that Smith had left, town, bul. that his wife was in Lancaster, and that he would return en Saturday, when he would be placed under arrest. On Sat urday Edward Xevin went te Lancaster and found that Smith, whose light name is ). !. Petter, was in jail there. Mr. Xevin dropped in te see him and was greeted thus familiarly : Helle, Ed ! Get me out of this, will you ".' I will give up everything, only get, me out, of this." Finding that Mr. Xcviifx heart did net. make a sympathetic response, he burst into tears and-wept- a portion of his sorrow away. That evening Mr. Nevin called upon .Mrs. Petter, who readily gave up the color cards and accompanying papers, with the remark : " Send him te jail, fei home with him iu it- is anything but a pleasant one. On Saturday he was given a hearing and bound ever for court. Petter conducted his swindles en a small scale effecting leans that were insig nificant. At Rochester be bamboozled a jeweler out of a cheap watch. While go ing-frem one (own te another, he managed net only fe be carried free, but te get $10 worth of confidence out of the conductor, who wrote T. II. Nevin & Ce., asking te be reimbursed that amount, stating that the deception practiced upon him would be the means of depriving some worthy but unfortunate man of aid. The small scale in which Petter, carried en his operations has led te the belief that he was also engaged iu a swindle of anoth er kind, for the reason that during the two months he succeeded in eluding arrest, he obtained net mere than $125 in money, which would hardly have paid his travel ing expenses. Siflec his arrest, it has been learned that, while out West he played precisely the same game, and that he is a man in whom there is little or no geed and there aie many who arc very glad that he is new where confiding human nature will net. be abused. Ductor Agnew. Readers who have carefully scanned the "official bulletins'' relative te President Garfield's condition, cannot have failed te notice- the frequent mention made 'of the name of Dr. Agnew, one of the consulting physicians, and yet it is net likely that many efthcni are aware that Dr. Agnew is a Lancaster county man. Such, however, is the fact. He is a native of this county, and after graduating as a physician, hung out his shingle at Christi ana. Like many ether young doc tors he had a hard read te travel, and was se poorly patrenised that he rclin tptished his profession and engaged in the iron business.- In this, tee, he failed, and we nest hear of him as a surgeon in the army and subsequently as a high-priced Philadelphia practitioner. And new. when ever Dr. Uliss gets scared he telegraphs for Dr. Agnew te hasren te Wrshingten as consulting surgeon in the president's critical case. . Again en Duly. Officer 15.

About 10 a. in., yesterday, two drunken men came down Walnut street, yelling and insulting everybody they met. As usual, our policemen were net te be found A large crowd of citizens were in the neighborhood of the " fy.y" eliice all day yesterday, as the news was that President Garfield was worse. The Liberty cornet band of Middletewu, accompanied by the G. A. R. pest from same plane, bound for the encamp ment at Gettysburg, was in town this morning, and several of our citizens were the recipients of a very line screuade.

Fer a number of days Mr. Richard Bur roughs' landlady has missed potatoes, stolen from her garden. On Saturday night Dick determined te keep a watch, and gnu in hand, he concealed hiinself behind some shrubbery. His long watch was at last broken by what seemed a man moving in the garden. AVithent warning Dick raised his gun and fired. The object dropped and Dick sprang out at the sup posed robber, but instead of it being a man it was nothing mere than a very large corn stalk. I le meant te keep it quiet, but he was net (he only one who saw what had happened. Iu ami Out !' Town.

Nathan Clifferd was the eldest Judge in service en the federal supreme bench, having been appointed by Presi dent Buchanan in 1858, from Maine, and being many years the senior of his col leagues. He resisted all the advances made te him te resign, and frustrated the expectations of waiting Repub lican politicians, because, he sincere ly believed it te be bis patriotic dnry te remain until a Democratic presi dent could appoint his successor. Amid all the subversions of the constitution he remained fixed in his reverence for lite fundamental law, and en the questions of centralization, legal .tenders, military trials &c., he and Judge Field have steed bv the faith of the father.-. He was en the electoral commission aud though he could have interposed tachnical objections te delay Hayes's inauguration he did net de se; though te the last day of Hayes's in cumbency Judge Clifferd refused te visit the While Heuse, whose occupant he se well knew set there by base fraud.
