VOW -
Kiss Itorsfal),:the Greg ;Heiress—Ex—
Unordinary Imposition.
irrom the Leeds Meroury.l
We lately published. - -an account of
the career in Leeds of the young lady
who pretended to be the niece of Mr.
Horebli,3L,T.,.and Wholes been coirt .
.mitted to the next sessions of the Cen
tral Criminal Court on three distinct
chargea . ofembesslement. The follow
ing partietilare - relateto her proci3edings
inn - Birmingham : As Miss Horsfall, the
reputed niece of the rich member for
Liverpool, she. found no difficulty in
obtaining jewels, dresses, and other
costly articles, such as a young heiress
with expensive tastes Might be suppos
ed to require; and by dealings with her
"uncle"—not the one whose name she
bore, but an accommoditing -relation
with a hooked nose, who sports the
sign of the Three Balls—she raised
enough money to carry on her game,
and keep up a lady-like appearance.—
This was the state of things when a
young gentleman from Birmingham
arrived on a periodical visit to Leedg,
and took up temporary quarters at the
same hotel in which Miss Horsfall was
residing. This your gentleman (whom
we shall call Frank, for the sufficien tree
son that Frank is not his name,) was
traveling on a business tour for his
father, who is a most respectable manu
facturer, residing in a suburb of Bir
mingham. Frank saw and admired the
charming Mary, who seemed' to oc
cupy a position in the hotel between
that of a friend and a guest, and whose
profuse liberality and condescending
manners, added to the reputation of
great wealthiness, made her an object
of no little regard. Frank found her
affable, genial and communicative ; lie
had frequent opportunities of meeting
her, and, to make a long story short, he
fell in love with her. _Nor was he doom
ed to despair, for the fair one confessed
her preference for the ardent youth, and
the upshot was that they were engaged
to be married. By telling a story made
up of the most flagrant untruths, this
woman imposed upon a family who bear
a high reputation for the strictest in
tegrity, and whose natural love of truth
may have disinclined them to distrust ;
while by simultaneously pursuing a
secret course Of swindling she was able
to maintain her position in the eyes- of
those whom she had so impudently im
posed upon.
Miss Horsfall came to Birmingham
as the affianced wife of Frank, and was
received by his family in that capacity.
Her conduct was not in every respect
satisfactory, but the minds of those dis
posed to believe the best are easily satis
fied andas Miss Horsfall added hypocrisy
in religious affairs to her other fatal ac
complishments, she managed to avoid
detection for a time. The period for the
wedding. was fixed, and a house near
the town was taken for the young
couple to reside in. This house Miss
Horsfall undertook to furnish from her
own private resources ; and she pro
ceeded to carry out that undertaking in
a style which showed that her " re
sources " were as large as her tastes
were extravagant. Tradesmen in Lon
don sent down furniture worth hun
dreds ofpounds to order. There were
four or five piano fortes from different
Makers, chairs worth ten or twelve
pounds each—much too good to sit upon
cushions to cover them—also too valu
able for ordinary use; carpets, tables,
and household " fixings " of all kinds,
all in the same grand style. The stable
had to be enlarged to make room for the
splendid carriage horses sent down from
,London, and special provision had to be
made for the smart groom who came to
tend them. While all these prepara
tions were in progress Miss Horsfall was
the guest of the family of which accord
ing to the programme, she was soon to
be a cherished member ; and she en
deavored to show her gratitude for the
kindness of her new-found friends by
loading them with costly presents. She
was lavish with her wealth, and even
tried to mix herself up in the business
affairs of her dear papa that was to be.
She offered Frank's fattier the use of
several loose thousands belonging to her,
if he chose to accept them ; but the of
fer was declined, or ' dear papa" might
have been wheedled out of promissory
notes in advance and have tound them
converted into hard cash for which he
would have been liable.
The mechaniSm of Miss Horsfall's
daring scheme appeared to work ad
mirably. As the wife of an honest and
respectable man, whose name she might
- legally bear in any contingency, she
could better face the exposure that was
bound to come some day, even if her
new connections could have been pre
vailed upon to avoid public scandal by
settling with her dupes. Or, perhaps,
the bold adventuress really loved this
young man, and was impelled by resist
less passion, regardless or reckless of
consequences. Whatever her motives
or expectations, she was anxious to get
married as quickly as possible, anxious
to spend as much time as possible in the
society- of her intended husband, and
anxious to stand well with his relatives.
But though, as we have said, the
mechanism appeared to work well, there
was a Screw loose somewhere. Frank
was not altogether satisfied with his
bargain, and the evasion of his inquir
ies made him more determined to have
the mystery cleared up with respect to
the woman whom he was about to
marry. The required explanations were
not forthcoming; the plot thickened;
doubts in the young man's mind deep
ened into certainty, and the match was
brok.2n off. The resolve once made, it
was firmly adhered to. All the arts of
a passionate and desperate woman were
exercised in vain. The heart that had
proved so soft and pliant at Leeds was
hard and firm as adamant at Birming
ham ;and,the adventuress, even though
she urged that she could notsurvive the
separation for three hours, was rejected
by the man who had loved her. That
the shock did not prove fatal is estab
lished by the fact that Miss Horsfall
now lies in jail awaiting her trial on
three charges of embezzlement. We
believe that the family who havesuffer
ed so much annoyance by her perfidy
have acted most honorably all through
the matter, even to the assumption of
liabilities they were not bound to un
dertake. Even since her imprisonment
Miss Horsfall has written to the family
of her intended husband, imploring , a
continuation of their friendship in her
trouble, and making violent professions
of religious sentiment, which we hope,
rather than believe, to be!, the result of
sincere repentance.
The Army Consumption of horses
Some interesting facts in regard to the
supply of horses and their consump
tion by the army have recently been
presented by a Newburg, (N. Y.) veter
inary surgeon, Dr. Vogeli. The census
shows that the number of horses in the
United States in 1860 was 6,115,468.
After making deductions for the South
ern States, for horses under and above a
working age, diseased and unservice
able, Dr. V. reduces the total resources
of the horse market in the loyal
States to 1,067,808 animals. The an
nual want for civil use is 144,-
018 ; for military use, 108,742, or one
fourth annually of the total resources of
the horse supply. The colts under four
years old are estimated at 1,114,175;
.one-fourth of these, or 278„544, will an
nually. reach the age of four years ; but
as this number may be reduced one
tenth for deaths and disasters among
the colts, the ultimate actual annual
supply is put at 250,690, while the an
nual need for the army and for civil life
is 252,760, showing a deficiency of 2,670
horses each year. Dr. Vogeli makes no
statement of the mules which are used
in the army, though he allows for
their use, which reserves just so
many horses. If his estimates are cor
rect, there is good reason for the high
price of horses besides the depreciation
in the currency. The waste of horses
in thearmy from bad treatment and neg
lect is enormous. This probably is
something which cannot be remedied.
One means of economizing horses in
civil use is to substitute steam when
ever it can conveniently be done. All
our city railroads can be worked with
steam to better advantage than with
horses, and the twenty railroad lines in
and around Philadelphia probably re
quire about 4,000 horses for their use.
On the railroads the useful life of a
horse is certainly not over four years.
So that it requires annually 1,000 horses
to keep our railroads in operation. Sub
stituting steam would for this city alone
make up one= half the general deficiency
of the cotuitry.

during thelvinternionths. While it Is
a true saying - that Rock well-wintereil
Is half-sumlneredt It is equally true - that
stock corning to t he barn in the fall in
good condition and good heart can be
wintered much more cheaply than that
Which-comes-in roor condition. It is
almost impossible for the most skillful
manager to bring an animal'from a low
Watair or high condition on hay alone
—the usual feed for young cattle, sheep
and colts during-winter—but if in a
good state of heath and flesh on the
approach of winter, with a suitable
amount and quality of hay, their con
dition may and should be kept good,
and the young stock growing until the
season for turning again to grass. This
can only be done by careful and regular
feeding, good, pure water, and suitable
shelter from the most inclement weather
during the winter months of ournorth
ern climate. Variety of food is very
essential to the thrift of most animals,
while it is too often disregarded by those
having care of them. I\ o good breeder
will overlook this most important mat
ter.
RootA, such as turnips, carrots, etc.,
caa be produced in great abundance
upon almost any farm in the country,
and are a very great help to eke out a
short supply of hay, while they are of
the
greatest advantage to almost any
kind of farm stock. At thepresent high
price of all kinds of grain there are but
few farmers that will feed it, especially.
to store cattle or sheep. Its place may
be supplied in a great measure by roots,
and that farmer is wise who has laid in
a good quantity for winter feeding. A
little corn in this way will, oftentimes,
save whole flocks and herds from dis
eases incidental toinsufficient keeping or
want of change in feed.
Young animals particularly should be
well fed and cared for through the first
win ter of their existence. It is too often
the case that calves, colts, andambs are
neglected and left to shift for them
selves the first winter, and as a conse
quence are barely able to get from the
barn to pasture in the spring. In this
condition it takes almost_ the entire
grass season to recover what flesh and
strength they Have lost during the win
ter, tor want of that care and comfort
which common humanity would seem
to dictate. The most successful breed
ers and stock raisers give the utmost at
tention to their young animals through
their first winter, and are sure that they
have good shelter, the best of food, and
abundance of pure water all the time.
Their growth should at no time be
checked for want of attention to these
important considerations.
While every branch of husbandry re
quires the closest and must careful at
tention of an interested and skilful mana
ger none suffers for want of it so much
as stock during the winter season.-

Destruction of the Penitentiary at Baton
Rouge, Louisiana.
On Tuesday night, the 25th of Novem
ber, a fire broke out in the east wing of
the Louisianna State peniten tary, locat
ed at Baton Rouge, utterly destroying
the building—the walls cracking and
tumbling in on all sides. The night
was bitter cold, but perfectly calm, else
the entire establishment would have met
the same fate, as owing to the scarcity
of water, the height of the walls
and of the building, it was impos
ible to control or check the flames,
though the fire department did all that
could be done, and after getting in
side the square, succeeded in saving the
end building. After the battle at Baton
Rouge, on the sth of August, 1852, and,
on the evacuation of the Federal forces
soon after, the State prisoners in this
institution—some three hundred were
set at liberty, and the extensive ma
chinery for the manufacture of cotton
and woolen goods was so damaged as to
render its use impossible. The Confed
erates taking possession of the town
immediately after the evacuation, under
order of Governor Moore, the remnant
of the machinery was removed
to Clinton La., where it was sub
sequently destroyed by fire. At
a very low estimate, the loss to the State
in this property, together with the large
stock of cotton destroyed by the Con
federatesprevious to the first occupation
by the Federals, cannot be much short
of a million of dollars. Since the re
turn of the Federal forces (December,
1852,) the prison. buildings have been
used for various purposes—principally,
as a depot for contrabands. The first
floor of the east wing at the time of its
destruction, was used as a stable, and a
number of horses and mules were con
sumed therein. The second, third and
fourth floors were used by negroes, and
among them the fire originated.
The Triumph of the Republican Party
Its Defeat
It is in accordance with the philosophy
of things that When a party is elevated
to power for the accomplishment of
great ends and fails it will be swept out
of existence. The republican party was
successful at the last two elections be
cause the people believed that it would
put down the rebellion and bring back
peace to the country ; hut its victorious
triumph will assuredly prove its defeat.
The first four years of rule left the re
bellion unsuppressed, and the people
expect that the war will be finished
within the first twelve months of its
second term. It it is not—but if, on the
other hand, a weak and hesitating poli
cy should insure four years more of
internecine warfare—the party will be
swept off' the earth with a howl of gen
eral execration. Even if it should suc
ceed in putting the rebelliim under
within the coming year there will be a
reaction, financial and poltical, that will
cut its life short—its utmost limit being
the expiration of its supremacy in office.
There is a settled opinion that the radi
cal portion of the republican party is one
of the principal authors of the war, and
when the eitchement consequent upon
its progress is over, and the, account of
public debt comes to be settled, the day
of reckoning will have arrived. In any
event, then, it will he found that the
triumph of the republican party is vir
tually its defeat.—X. Y. Herald.
The Release of the St. Albans Raiders
Important Order from General Dlx
(;ENERAL OftipEßS—NO. 97.
III:AI/QUARTERS, LEFT. OF TUE EAST, 1
NEW YuRE CITY, Dee. n o r. f
Information having been re . ived at
these headquarters that the rebel marau
ders, who were guilty of murder and
robbery at St. Albans, have been dis
charged from arrest, and that other en
terprises are actually in preparation in
Canada, the Commanding General
deems it due to the people of the fron
tier towns to adopt the mostprompt and
efficient measures for the security of
their lives and property.
All military commanders on the fron
tiers are, therefore, instructed, in case
further acts of depredation and murder
are attempted, whether by marauders
or persons acting under commissions
from the rebel authorities at Richmond,
to shoot down the perpetrators, if pos
sible, while in the commission of their
cairnes ; or if it be necessary, with a
view to their capture, to cross the boun
dary between the L nited States and
Canada, said commanders are hereby
directed to pursue them wherever they
may take refuge, and if captured they
are under no circumstances to be surren
dered, but are to be sent to these head
quarters for trial and punishment by
martial law.
The Major General commanding the
department will not hesitate to exercise
to the fullest extent the authority he
possesses, under the rules of law recog
nized by all civilized States in regard
to persons organizing hostile expedi
tions within neutral territory and flee
ing to it for an asylum after committing
acts of depredation within - our own,
such an exercise of authority having
become indispensable to protect our
cities and town from incendiarism and
our people from robbery and murder.
It is earnestly hoped that the inhabi
tants of our frontier districts will ab
stain from all acts of retaliation on ac
count of the outrages committed by
rebel marauders, and that the proper
measures of redress Will be left to the
action of the public authorities.

about to inaugurate another eastern war.
News from Odessa, via Vienna, says
that a Russian army, sixty thousand
strong, is about to be stationed along the

This fact has created great alarm in
Austria and the Vienna papers predict

medicines have failed.
It is prepared in a highly concentrated form,
the dose only being from one to two teaspoon
fuls three times per day.
It is diuretic and alternative in its action;
purifying and cleansing the blood, causing it
to flow in all of its original purity and vigor;
thus removing from the'system all pernicious
causes which have induced disease.

ally or assistant to the CHEROKEE REMEDY
and should be used in conjunction with that
medicine in all cases of Gonorrhea, Gleet,

IRON IN THE BLOOD
It is well known to the medical profession
that IRON is the vital Principle or Life .Ele
ment of the blood. This is derived chiefly from
the food we eat; but if the food is not properly
digested, or if, from any cause whatev r, the
necessary quantity of iron's not taken into'the
circulation, or becomes reduced, the whole
he
suffers. The bad blood will irritate the
heart, will clog up the lungs, will stupefy the
brain, will obstruct the liver, and will send its
disease producing elements to all parts of the
system, and every one will sutler in whatever
organ may be predisposed to disease.
The great value of
IRON AS A MEDICINE
is well known and acknowledged by all medi
cal men. The difficulty htu3 been to obtain such
a Preikuation of it as will enter the circulation
and assimilate at once with the blood. This
point, says Dr. Hayes, Massachusetts State
Chemist, has been attained in the Peruvian
Syrup, by combination in a way before un
known.
THE PERUVIAN SYRUP
Is a Protected solution of the Protoxide of
Iron. A New Discovery in Medicine that strikes

with its Vital Principle of Life Element—lron.
