Arrest of Alleged Counterfeiters In Buf
falo and St. Louis.
I The Buffalo papers give the particulars of
the arrest of two alleged counterfeiters,
named Pbiletus S. Barber and James B.
Sweeney. In the overcoat pocket of Barber
a huge pile of greenbacks was found, done
up in wads, as though when changing a bill
he bad rolled the money up and placed it in
his pocket carelessly. There were about Sit
wade, some of them indicating that a ten
dollar bill had been changed, while others
! would contain only about a dollar and a
half or so, showing that a two dollar bill
had been passed. He bad in all one hun
dred and twenty-five dollars in good money.
In a wallet, also in the overcoat pocket,
there were eighty-six two dollar counter
] felt bills on the St. Nicholas National Bank
of New York, and one ten dollar counterfeit
on the Auburn City Bank, besides eight
bogus fifty cent pieces. Sweeney had two
ten dollar counterfeits on the Auburn City
Bank and a lot of genuine money in sep
arate wads, as though he had passed three
ten dollar bills. These imitations iire well
executed, especially the ten dollar notes,
and not one man out of fifty would suspect
their character unless his attention was
I particularly directed to them.
The St. Louis Republican has the follow
' ing account of an arrest In that city:
"The extent to which counterfeit money
is palmed off upon the public for genuine is
becoming really startling—moreso because
the operators seem to acquire greater skill,
and the spurious greenbacks consequently
I approach a greater similitude to the real.
From information that Chief of Police Lee
I derived, Sergeant Ilarrigan was instructed
to devote his attention to the movements of
a Mrs. Catharine Engels, who resided in a
neatly furnished two-story brick on South
; Seventh street, near the arsenal. Sergeant
I Harrigan went to work like a man who
, understands his business, and on Wednes
day last sent a person to this place to get
samples of the 'queer' from Mrs. Engels.
Mrs. Engels told him to call the next day,
as we lire informed, and said site would
then furnish him with samples. She was
assured that If the 'queer' was very good, a
large amount of it would be taken ; that toe
t purchaser was going down South, and
could dispose of it readily.
"On Thursday the same person called,
in Obedience to the invilation extended,
and he was rewarded for his trouble by get•
tinge specimen $5O counterfeit bitl,.ss ditto,
! and a live cent piece of the same character.
! For this he paid $17.50. lle went back the
same day, and professing to be satisfied
with the imitations, saint he would take
$:l,000 worth of the ' stuff.' lie was told to
come down on Friday night and it would
then be there for him. Friday night came,
and with it our indefatigable friend. officer
Tracy and Sergeant Earrigan. The two
littler staid outside, expecting by secret ob
i servatikn to be able to fasten guilt on :qrs.
Englos.v. The other person went inside and
, had a brief interview with the WOlll,lll.
She had not the' queer,' and another delay
was the result. Mrs. Engels requested the
man to inert her at Union market nit 0
o'clock on Saturday morning. lie agreed
to be there, and Wilk, morning filled the
appointment punctually. Sirs. Engles was
there tom The purchaser said he was going
to the bank to draw the money to pay for
the bogus, and she said she would go to get
the latter.
"As far as the ' purchases' was concern
ed, the matter was ended, but not so for
Mrs. Engels. She made her way to the
house of Michael Moran, followed by offi
cer Tracey. She was seen to enter this
house and crane out again, Moran coining
after her. Both wont down Filth street,
and when on Fifth and Chesnut officer
Tracey introduced himself to Moran. 31 rs.
Engle was allowed to proceed as fat' as
Eighth and Market streets, when Sergeant
Harrigan introduced himself to her. She
was fairly taken be surprise and over
come with terror. In the hope of getting
out of by ridding herself of the
highly inconvenient 'queer,' she threw it
wildly about, and pleaded for release. Ser
geant Harrigan was. however, inexorable,
and she was forthwith placed iu confine
ment. She had the consolation—such con
solation us it WaS—of not being alone in
trouble.
"The :unount of counterfeit money found
in the possession of Isles. Engels was be
tween $2OO and 1...`200, which consisted prin
cipally of $5 bills; the remainder of it was
in $5O bills, TAI and 25 emu notes and 5 cent
pieces. The $5 bills were rots erkably good
imitations of the real, and would be readily
received by many persons. In fact, they
are the 'best imitations that experienced de
tectives here have seen. The five-cent
pieces were tolerably good imitations. Mrs.
Engels stated that she got the stuff' at
Moran's. The house was searched soon
afterwards by Sergeant l larrigan, and fifty
dollars of counturtiet money, of various de•
nominations, was seized. She has been
pursuing the avocation, it is said, of a for
tune teller.'"
I==i
The derision of the I clled States Circuit
Court in Boston in the celebrated Howland
will case Will disappoinka great many ;air
sons who expected it to settle one of the
most curious and interesting points of evi
dence ever brought before an American
bench. Miss Sylvia Ann Ilowland of New
liedford died in IStis, leaving property Val
ued at ationt $2,200,0ne, 1111,1 a will in wit felt
she bequeathed half' of it to her niece, Mi-s
lletty Rubinson (now Mrs. Edward 11.
it reef - ), and the other half to various
friends, servants, and public charities.—
Miss Robinson thereupon produced an
earlier will, under which she would have
obtained the:whole estate, and demanded
that the later ono should be set aside, on
the ground that it Was in violation of
a contract entered into between her
self and her aunt. Ity this con
tract, Miss Howland anti Miss Rob
inson, it was averred, had made a mu
tual agreement touching their respective
wills, the aunt to leave all her property to
the niece, and the niece all her own (amount
ing to several hundred thousand dollars) to
her heirs, or Jailing heirs, to public chari
ties. The object of this bargain was to keep
nit the money of both ladies out of the hands
of Miss Robinson's father. The suit was
brought in the form of a complaint by Miss
• Robinson against the residuary legatees;
and the answer of the respondents was, first,
that no such contract as site alleged bad
ever been !nude; and secondly, that a ma
terial part of the will which she produced
was a forgery.
I It was upon the second point that the
principal' interest of the trial depended, the
argument of the respondents being not that
the signature to the page of the will in
I question was unlike Miss Howland's, bet
it was too marvellously like the signature
to the other page to have been produced in
any other way than forgery by tracing.—
The evidence on this question was exhaus
tive. Tkee signatures were indeed shown
I to be precisely alike, and not only were all
the best known experts examined as to the
unprecedentedness of such a resemblance,
but a most interesting exposition of the
theory of probabilities was obtained
from a distinguished mathematician.—
a rare instance of the application of the
higher mathematics to the proceedings of
courts of law. The Court has taken a year
to determine the case, and now decides that
there evils no contract such as Miss Robinson
avers, and her complaint consequently falls
to the ground, forgery or no forgery. The
second part of the respondents' answer is
consequently passed over, and the genuine
ness of the disputed document is left un
settled.
Apart from the peculiarities which we
have mentioned, the case has also attracted
a great deal of notice on account of the
wealth and eccentric habits. of the com
plainant. Having a large fortune of her
own, and over ;51,000,000 from the admitted
will of her aunt, and being married to a
gentleman whose fortune is said to be $5,-
000,000 or $15,000,000, she is in no immediate
danger of starvation, and all accounts agree
that she is not likely to waste any of the
millions that the Circuit Court has left her.

Lancaster :County Teachers • Institute
TuesdayAfternoon.—Prof. Haldeman was
announced on the programme to lecture on
." Insects," but there happening to be a
, geography on the stand, he went for that,
And subsequently came to the inevitable
Willson's Readers, which he proceeded to
excoriate in his own keen critical way.
Being asked to define a dipthong, he said
it was a useless word, as there was no such
thing poetically—it was like any otbe sylla-.
ble, a vowel followed by a consonant.
Dr. .li eneagy . took np his subject of.Physi •
ology. He said that most people overtask
the body and death must follow as soon as
the machinery is worn out. Many go too
thinly clad for the temperature, and thus
burn up the tissues in the lungs to supply
the animal heat wasted. All this, he said,
is either ignorance or worse. ,
Prof. Montgomery, on Penmanship, be
gan with the elements of the system, then
proceeded to their combination into the
principles, giving illustrations on the black
board.
Prof. Brooks followed on Mental Culture.
He thought we might now claim tot have
a Science of Education. He urged the
more careful cultivation of the percep
tive powers, and gave examples of the pro
digious results to be attained by training
them.
Prof. Sanders, on Elocution, gave a good
exercise in pronunciation, asking the whole
Institute to read in concert. These lectures
are among the most practical and useful of
the week. Adjourned to 7 o'clock.
Evening Session Prof. Sanders lectured
on Individuality, This effort was incom•
parabiy the best of the exercises thus far;
the expressions were original and beauti
ful, and the close attention of the audience
rewarded him. It is originality which
makes great men—the individual men live
through future generations, while all the
imitators have been forgotten.
Dr. Keneagy lectured on Physiology
(said the programme) but seemed to rise
above the subject and take the broader
ground of general principles, closing with
some sound advice to teachers regarding
their whole duty to their pupils.
Prof. Hart read, "A Dream of Dark
ness," "The Drunkard's Daughter," "Sher
idan's Ride," "The Smack in School," and
an Irish speech on The American Eagle.
Prof. Sanders read "Is it Anybddy's
Business" and "The Supervisor," and the
Institute adjourned.

Mr, B. P. Bills advocated the beneficial
results of such institutes, and thought the
lack of interest among teachers was the
cause of their imperfect results. Messrs.
Fritz, Sayers, A. W. Shuman, Clare, Turn
er, W. C. Shuman, Way, Watson, Hoopes
and Book, participated, and the discussion
was quite lively, continuing to the hour of
adjournment.
Afternoon Session. —l)r, ICeneagy pursued
his lectures on Physiology, with special
reference to the lungs, their position, char
acter and functions, and the diseases to
which they are liable, with their principal
causes. 'Under this head he urged strong
ly the importance of thorough ventilation,
especially in the school-room.
Prof. Brooks proceeded to discuss the
methods of training the judgment, analyz
ing the faculties and adjusting their rela
tions in his usual clear and able manner,
and giving sound practical advice on meth
ods of teaching.
Dr. Burrowes followed, congratulating
teachers and Directors upon the success of
their Institute, and urging the necessity of
local superintendency to give efficiency - to
the schools, and place each teacher upon
his comparative merits.
State Superintendent Wickersham gave
us a resume of the history of the school
system in Lancaster County and his con
nection with it, showing the improvements
made and steps in advance taken within
the past years.
Prof. Sanders took up the sounds of the
various letters, and exercised the Institute
in articulation, which closed the afternoon
session.
Evening So:Mioll. — lnstitute was opened
with music, after which an essay was read
by Miss Hannah Thompson, on Assistance
to Pupils, which was well written and brief,
compressing the thoughts into few words' a
rare merit.
W. C. Pinkerton rend an essay on im
provement of tesekers. The teacher F.hould
be physically , mentally and morally quail
tied
for his work, in order to its proper per
formance.
State Superintendent Wickersham spoke
upon the question, "How shall the 500,000
children of the Atate be educated?"llis
speech was subsrlintially as follows:
We want in the first-place elementary
education for all the children of the State;
second, education In the higher branches for
as many as possible; third, free colleges,
so that the poor man's son may go through
a complete course of education. Special
attention should be given to teaching those
branches which develop° character. Char
acter is what we want in our men and
women. We want education free and equal
—without distinction of sex or of color—
free to all as the air we breathe. We want
moral and spiritual, as well as intellectual
education; such as will form character that
will do away with the present condition of
society, rotten as it is with the worst social
evils—superficial and hypocritical ; as we
may see by visiting the jails and poor
houses, the sewers of society. Without
universal education, there is no security for
free institutions and republican govern
ment. In all the old republics, their de
struction was consummated - by the exis
tence of these two classes—an ignorant
populace and ambitious demagogues to lead
and delude them ; this was the state of
things in the southern part of our own
country, which brought about the rebel
lion; and only universal education of all
classes can make us secure against the re
currence of such events. Hence we should
make this question one of the first if not
the very first importance.

Prof. Hart read " Othello's Reply to the
Senators," " Barbara Fitchie," and "The
Oath." Prof. Sanders gave us "Boarding
Round," and " Flogging the Editor." Mr.
Hart was again called, and rend "Hans

Autum," and a selection from :sirs. Wig

Mr. McCaskey made a statement con
cerning the commencement of next volume
of Schort/Journa/.
Mr. Whelan returned his thanks to teach
ers for the aid given him in getting up a
magazine for the blind.
The question now more punctual atten
dance at school could best be promoted was
taken up.
It. F. Hill thought it should not be by
prizes or rewards, but rather by decorating
and making the school room cheerful and
agreeable; to see that beauty and comfort
were consulted in its arrangement and eve
ry means adopted to make study attractive.
Amos Shirk thought we must interest
parents in the matter as well.
A. 0. Newpher advocated the adoption of
legislative action to' bring all into the
schools.
E. F. Pierce said the point was to interest
the pupils-in study, and the difficulty would
be in a great measure removed. He ex
plained 013 use of merit checks, and bad
obtained excellent results from their em
ployment.
U.S. Clark and J. L. Witmyer also spoke,
and Prof. Haldeman objected to a compul
sory enactment, as there was cases in which
a girl could not well be sent to a school
among unruly boys and a careless teacher,
a case having come under his own obser
vation.
B. D. Danner approved of a class register
and offering, certificates of merit as premi
ums.
Messrs. Gates, Hill, and County Super
intendent Evans spoke on the question, the
Superintendent claiming that the character
of the school referred to was improved
since the incident spoken of by Prof. H.,
and was now as good as any in the county.
Prof. Byerly continued his course on
Grammer. This system of teaching is ad
mirable, taking the natural order in the
introduction of the several parts of speech
and modes of construction.
Mr. Way give a lecture upon tides and
their production by lunar influence, illus
trated by diagrams on the blackboard.
W. C. Shuman led a short drill on moral
instruction. Several members spoke on the
question of how to deal with cases where
information is given by one pupil of offences
committed by another-some advising such
testimony to be discarded, others acting
upon it.
Prof. Sanders followed in an exercise in
articulation and phonetics.
Prof. Haldeman gave a short talk on the
derivation and order of the alphabet, after
which Institute adjourned.

Shuman was resumed and a number of
teachers participated—Messrs. Kessler,
Clark, Grove, Watson, Mills, each spoke
on the question of talebearing. Messrs.
Pierce, Turner, Martin, Gable, Danner,
Benedict and Newpher also took part in
the discussion.
A Lecture on School Government by H.
F. Pierce gave rise to quite a discussion in
which a large number of members partici
pated, several questions of government
being started and fully discussed.
Prof. Byerly lectured on Grammer, with
special reference to the use of the relative
pronoun.
An essay on "Trials of a Teacher" was
read by Ephraim Potts—a good thing.
Prof. Sanders then called on a class of
ladies and gentlemen for an exercise in
reading, each reading a single phrase, and
the next taking up the line. Exercises in
taking breath were also given. This, like
previous exercises, was very interesting
and instructive.
L'ridaj lftcrnoon.—W. C. Shuman vas
appointed on the Committee on Reso:uthms
in place of J. H. 'Witmer, who had left on
account of death in his family.
Dr. Keneagy proceeded to speak of the

more than eight, and the remaining time
be devoted to physical exercise or relaxa

Eyle being decidedly the best.
Col. Dickey, Representative elect of the
District, was introduced and briefly excused
himself. He was in the position that a
teacher would be before a convocation of
lawyers ; but he would say that be yielded
to no roan in his admiration for what he
considered the fifth estate. The teacher is
the missionary of a higher intelligence—the
missionary of the aspirations of a people.
With the intelligence they spread broad
cast, we may expect a higher, better and
purer civilization.
Prof. Haldeman finished his philosophical
arrangement of the alphabet, and gave the
derivation of several of the words in Prof.
Sanders' spelling exercises. Institute ad
journed to 7 o'clock.
Evening,Session.—The court room was
filled with a good audience—its character
being proven by the order and general con
duct, different from that of some rowdy
spectators on previous evenings.
Prof. Shoemaker read "The Katydid"
and "The New Year comes to-night,"
very well—he wasi not so ,successful with
the humorous ' excepting in "Darius
Green." Mrs. S. read " High Tide on the
Coast of Lincolnshire," in a manner that
won the admiration of the whole audience.
Her other readings were also good, except
perhaps "Jontell Homme" which was not
adapted to her.
The entertainment was a success, its
average character being better than any
thing of the kind we have lately had.
At the close of the exercises a Silver tea
set was presented toCounty Superintendent
Evans by Mr. McCaskey on behalf of the
teachers, and received by him in a brief
speech, when the Institute adjourned.
,Saturday Morning.-Institute opened with
prayer by U. Hershey.
B. F. Hill spoke briefly on the subject of
township institutes,: and suggested that
each district which had them should report
upon their character and success. For want
of time the suggestion was not acted on.
The Superintendent asked the sentiment
of the Institute on the subject of offering a
prize (a bound series of the School Journal)
to the teacher who should have the beat
average attendance.
Mr. Hill objected that such attendance
might be bought, or the city have an undue
advantage.
Mr. Kessler moved that if sufficient funds
remain in the treasury, they be used in
procuring and supplying the schools with
the Ten Commandments and the Golden
Role; adopted.
Mr. McCaskey reported from the com
mittee on resolutions, as follows :
WHEREAS, The Teachers of Lancaster
County have, during the past week, been
assembled in Convention—the largest yet
held in the County, having an attendance
of 480 members; and Whereas, it is cus
tomary to express the sentiments of this
body, in a series of resolutions previous to
adjournment; therefore
Rcsolvcd, That the attendance of so large
a body of teachers and the general interest
manifested in the exercises of the Institute,
afford the most gratifying evidence of
steady progress in our educational affairs.
Resolved, That the presence of so many
School Directors during the week is an
encouraging feature of the session just clos
ing—affording hopeful promise for the fu
ture both of schools and teachers.
Resolved, That we tender our congratu
lations to Hon. J. P. Wickersham, upon
his highly successful administration of the
office of State Superintendent; as well as
David Evans, Esq., whose wisely-directed
efforts for advancing the work of educa
tion in Lancaster county meet our hearty
approval.
Resolved, That we extend our thanks to
Hon. J. P• Wickersham, Dr. Burrowes,
Professors Brooks, Montgomery and By

Dr. Keneagy, of Strasburg, and others, for
their services rendered the Institute (lur
ing the week.
Resolved, That the thanks of this Institute
are due the Daily Express and Daily Intel
ligencer for the publication of reports of our
proceedings.
Resolved, That full time should be granted
by the district to teachers desirous of at
tending the sessions of the Institute, and
the fact that one half the districts now rep
resented have been granted this time is a
matter of encouragement to all friends of
education.
Besolveri, That in Lancaster county the
length of school terms should, in each dis
trict, be not less than eight months in the
year.
Resolved, That we recognize well-con
ducted District Institutes as valuable aux

Resolved, That Webster's Unabridged
Dictionary and Lippincott's Pronouncing
Gazetteer should be found in every school
room—placed there at the expense of the
district.
Resolved, That but few branches of in

THE ESTATE OF THADDEUS STEVENS.—
Congressman Dickey and Hon. E. McPher
son are engaged today in winding up the
affairs of the late Thaddeus Stevens. They
find only about enough personal property
to pay his debts, and his real estate consists
of a house in Lancaster estimated at $15,000,
and his iron furnace property' estimated at
from $.50,000 to $60,000. It was damaged by
the rebels in their Chatnbersburg raid, to
the extent of over $lOO,OOO, or more than
one-hall of all Mr. Stevens was worth,
The Express copies the above dispatch
from Washington to some of the papers
notwithstanding its obvious inaccuracy.
tl r. Stevens' lanace property is much more
valuable to-day than it was before the rebel
raid, as the buildings were all put up anew
for him by the Ahls, and it is said without
any cost to him. Mr. S. also left behind a
very plethoric bank account with his friend
Gyger. He had an interest in a Carolina
gold mine, and was the happy owner of lots
of Pacific Railway stock. Our Republican
friends ought not to misrepresent Mr. Ste
vens' wealth and thus dash the hopes of the
expectant darkies who are looking for the
erection of that magnificent nigger misce
genation seminary which is to be erected
in case Young Thud. don't quit drinking;
and he says he thinks it is his religious duty
not not to quit and thus destroy so fine a
charity. lie will continue to drink on

due to the Court. But if so, they have
graciously overlooked it, and our official

A GREAT ItivElvvios.—The present age
has been one of unparalleled advancement,
and a great many u•eful articles have been
invented which tend to ameliorate and im
prove the condition of mankind; Inven
tions have also been made which are calcu
lated to lessen the pains of those who are
afflicted with disease,or who through the in
firmities of old gge are unable to help them
selves. The recent invention of an "Im
proved Patent Bedstead and Mattress" for
the use of invalids and the afflicted, by our
ingenious townsman, Mr. Anthony tyke,
belongs to the latter class. This invention
is so admirably adapted to the comfort of
the afflicted and convenience of the physi
cian and nurse as to make it a household
necessity, as well as indispensible to hos
pitals. This bedstead Is light, neat, and
durable, and need only be seen to have Its
merits fully appreciated. The following
extract from a recent number of the New
York Citizen will serve to show our readers
how much notice this new and important
invention attracted at our recent State Fair :
"At the Pennsylvania State Fair held at
Harrisburg on the Ist inst., there was ex
hibited a patent In valid bedstead, the design
of Mr. Anthony Iske, an estimable citizen
of Lancaster, Pa. I have seen a model of
thel invention, and it is, beyond all doubt,
the'best thingof the kind extant for invalids
suffering from broken limbs, wounds or
illness. It can be used either as a bed,
lounge or cushioned chair without in the
least disturbing the rest or quiet of the
patient. It has received the strongest en
dorsement of the most eminent surgeons
in Pennsylvania. Aware of the pain and
suffering, which befell the wounded of the
army during the late conflict, I was struck
with the value of this Invention and its
simplicity, some time duriugthe past Sum
mer, at witnessing a photograph of the In
vention in the hands of Mr. Iske's agent,
and as I listened to his explanation of the
unquestionable merits of what I may truly
term a philanthropic invention."
BUROLARY.—The merchant tailoring es•
tabliehment of Henry Martin, in Coneatoga
Centre, was burglarlonely entered on Sun
day night last. and a suit of clothes, valued
at VC, taken therefrom. The thief or thieves
effected an entrance by cutting out a pane
of glass from a window, there being no
shutters to the windows, and then removing
the obstructions inside and opening the
window. No noise was heard during the
night, although Mrs. Martin resides in the
house, and he only discovered the theft in
the morning.
SALE OF REAL ESTATE.—On Saturday
last Sheriff Frey sold a tract of 43 acres of
land, with imnrovements, located in Earl
township, and belonging to the heirs of
John Eaby, for $3,270. Joel Bair was . the
purchaser. The °Mgr nroperi lesadvertked
by the Sheriff to be sold at the same tune,
were withdrawn.
The property of the Voorhees estate, In
North Queen street, this city, offered for
sale last Saturday evening, was bid up to
$16,0e0, when it was withdrawn, the owners
not wishing to dispose of It at that tigurt
