The Xlmierer Probst. No time has yet been named by Governor Curtin for the execution of the murderer of the Deering family; but it is probable that the period that will intervene before* the expiation of the dread crime upon the , gallows will be brief. Probst, with the ad vice and approbation of his counsel and the priest who attends him, refuses to receive visitors, and he passes most of his time in the perusal of devotional books. Heap pears to be somewhat softened in his nature since his doom was fixed, and his early ex ecution became almost a certainty. If he has made a full confession thus far, it has been to his clerical attendant or to his counsel.' Althousch no time has been fixed for the execution, Sheriff Howell has been literally run down with applications for permission to witness the closing scene in the drama. The Sheriff turns a deaf ear to theseappeals, and having put the strictest construction upon the law governing executions; he will adhare firmly to it. Only the persons named in the law, with a very limited rep resentation from the press of the city, will be admitted. InlB6o the legbaature passed an act supplemental to the law requiring that all executions shall be private. This supplement law is brief and explicit. It is as follows: "Whenever, hereafter, any person shall be condemned to suffer death by hanging, for any crime of which he shall have been convicted, the said punishment shall be in flicted upon him within the walls or yard of the jail of the county in which he shall have been convicted; and it shall be the duty of the Sheriff of the said county to attend and be Rresent at Bluth execution, to which he shall invite the presence of a phy sician, the district attorney of the county, and twelve reputable citizens, who shall be selected by the sheriff; and the said sheriff shall, at the request of the criminal, permit such ministers of the gospel, not exceeding two, as he may name, and any of his imme diate relalives, to attend and be present at such execution, together with such officers of the prison, and such of THE SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES as the said sheriffiin his discretion, may think it expedient to have present; and it shall be only permitted to the per sons above designated to witness the said execution: Provided, That no person under age shall be permitted, on any account, to witness the same." A Circus in a Storm. A Harrisburg paper gives the follow ing lively picture of a storm which oc curred duringa circus performance: The .'Sing brothers had just com menced their performance upon the tra peze -as the- first flash of lightning danced around the enclosure, and pene trated every_creyice and holein the can- - Vasa. This was startling! only for a moment, though, no attention being paid to it, as everything was dry and apparently secure within, and it seemed but a storm without. The Kings finished their act, and Mrs. S. Stickney com menced her feat of horsemanship, when a torrent of rain began beating upon the canvas; frequent and vivid flashes of lightning, accompanied with rolling thunder and heavy gales of wind, at tacked the "show" and seemed to threaten its destruction. The drums were beating and• the horns sounding as the little delicate creature was dash ing around the ring on her swift and spirited horse, amid the roaring of the storm and the surging of the huge can vas as it bent with the gale. The au dience becamepanic-stricken, sprang to their feet, and. a scene followed beg garing all description. The women shrieked and the children cried. Ring master and clown, lion-tamer and elephant-keeper, grooms, managers and attaches, did their utmost to allay the tumult, but with little avail. The surging canvas, the;vivid lightning, the rolling thunder and the presence of so many wild and dangerous animals, was calculated to produce a scene of ex citement difficult to allay. The canvass now became saturated— the rain began to penetrate it, and the advantages of safety really seemed out in the Open air. A number of the "show people," seeing this, made large openings in the canvas for an easy exit of the frightened and bewildered people who rushed out into the storm and darkness in search of sheltex—many be camnentangled in the ropes and wagons and were thrown down. The wind blew a perfect hurricane, the rain fell in torrents, and the darkness was so great that it was impossible to see a foot beyond - you, except - when illumined by the flashes of lightning*. Our "local" having been - present and carried out by the current of the crowd, was dashed up against the "side show," and finally within. Here was another scene 'of ex citement. The lights had become ex tinguised, "local" _ fell over several objects, whether fat women, little women, lean men, wax statuary, or organ he cannot say, merely observing that he, eventually secured a temporary shelter with others in the officers' quar ters on the barracks on the easternside of Second street. How the rest of the throng saved themselves is difficult to tell, as each and every one were en grossed in their own safety; but,. we presume, as we have heard of no serious accident, that the results were merely frights, damaged and saturated clothes. The tents, which proved to be secure ones t weathered the storm notwith standing its severity. Otru Moors TExAs.—The headquar ters of the 17th infantry, and six companies of the regiment, Gen. S. P. Heintzelman, commanding, arrived at 'Galveston, Texas, on the 22d of April.' General Heintzeltnan, who was in command in Texas before the war retunis to the country of his farmer labcirs. -He IS the ranking officer of the re gular army now, in Texas. The troops of the army now in that State consist of the 17th infantry, the- 4th and 6th cavalry, and two' batteries of • artillery. :Most of the volunteers are being mustered out.

PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, MAY 4, 1866. THE WALL STREET FORGERIES Additional Facts and Figures--No Clue to the Whereabouts of the Alleged Criminal--Cronise & Co. Ver sus the Continental Bank ---A Question of Veracity, &c, (Prom to-day's N. Y. Herald.] The forgeries alleged to have been com mitted upon certain banks • and firms by one John Ross, lately doing business as a broker at No. 44 Exchange place, yesterday furnished topics of conversation to all the business men on Wall street, the facts pub lished , in - the Herald having speedily en: lightened the community as to the magni tude of the frauds. No farther develop ments of importance, however,were brought about to the many inquiries of interested parties, and the statements with which the i reader s already conversant were found to be decidedly accurate. Of the antecedent of the central figure in the drama there is still nothing. known. His former residence and occupation,his na tivity, his personal appearance • and •age were and are likely to be mere 'matters of speculation. 'A report found credence to the effect that Ross had been formerly em ployed EtB EL clerk by the firm of Samuel Hallett dr, Co., but this assertion could not supported by any reliable evidence, and of the many. items of information current few are really worthy of belief. There is at present no - doubt that the forger had de voted much time to the laying of his plans, it being affirmed that be had just started in the brokerage business in June last. His bank account with the Union Bank did not then exceed the sum of five hundred dollars, but at a later day amounted at certain times, to fifty-seven thousand dollars. A banking account was also kept with the Continental Bank—this double display of resources being made with a view to dazzling his fi nancially and veculatively inclined friends. A reward of twenty-five dollars was yesterday offered for such information as might lead to the discovery of the house at which the supposed forger had taken up his abode, but this liberal offer had not, at last accounts, been productive of any re sponse on the part of those who are pre sumed to be in the secret. Upon the discovery of the forgeries the victimized parties at once communicated with the police. The English mail steamer Persia and the Havana steamship Moro Castle were thoroughly_tearched; the ex ertions of the officers, holgiver, being fruit less. The Pacific mail steamer Arizona, that left this port on Tuasday, was not. however, visited, and fears are entertained that the k ' uilt3rplirty may have thus quitted New York a. few hours previous to the gigantic frauds being made public. In the case of Groesbeck & Co., Ross, it would seem had deposited 'with the firm twenty Miciigan Central R. R. bonds, pur porting to be the original documents he had .purchosed from the same gentlemen a short time previous, but, in reality, cleverly exe cuted forgeries. Upon their deposit Messrs. Groesbeck it Co. loaned: the man $19,000, with which-he deeamped,ithe forgery being discovered some days later, The other items are correctly reported in yesterday's Hera/d. The entire amount of money fraudulently obtained amounting to $355,187, and the losers by the operations being as follows : David Groesbeck it Co., - - $19,000 Cronise A:. Co., - - - - 63,062 Black & Spaulding, - - - 63,125 The Union Bank, - - - 120,000 The Continental Bank, - - 90,000 Total, $355,187 The reader will remember that ins pre vious issue it was stated that Ross, having called upon the firm of Cronise & Co. to re ceive fifty thousand dollars in gold, had tendered in payment therefor a check for the sum of $63,062, drawn on the Conti nental Bank, and bearing what purported to be the certification mark of the first tel ler. Messrs. Cronise & Co. affirm that they at once sent this check / to the Bank, whence it was immediately returned, as alleged, with the assurance that the certification mark was genuine. Apropos of this asser tion a highly interesting conflict has been inaugurated. Messrs. Cronise Co. re assert that the check was received from the bank and declared "good," while Mr. Cr F. Timpson, cashier of that financial institution, quite as tenaciously maintains that the check was never seen nntil it reached him through the exchanges from the Clearing House. The proclama tions of both parties were at first confined to mere verbal affirmations made by the dis putants and given to the echoes of the street. Inasmuch, however, as the bank and the firm are alike interested in the affair, and to no inconsiderable extent, recourse was bad to the press, through the medium of which either of the contestants took occa sion to readvert to the truth of his version. The. Continental Bank was first in the field, and, in refution of the charge verbally made by the firm, of Cronise & Co„ sent us the subjoined communication: To the Editor of the Hercad.—CONTIICEN TAL BA.wx, New York, May 3,1866.—.P1ea5e insert the enclosed slip in your money arti cle, and oblige yours, respectfully. C. F. TIMPSON, Cashier. The statement in newspapers ofthis morn ing to the effect that a check drawn by John Ross on this bank in favor of J. S. Cronise & Co., for $63,062, with a forged certificate of our teller~ and deposited by that firm in the Bank of the Commonwealth May 1, was sent to this _bank by the payees before de positing it, and the certification pronounced genuine by the teller of this bank, is entirely false. The check in question was never seen at this bank until it came through the exchmiges from the Clearing House, and the forgery of the teller's certificate was then immediately detected, and a return of the amount of the check demanded by us from the Bank of the Commonwealth. - The report that we refused to show our books is equally false, and our certificate book is _open to any parties interested. ' C. F. TIMPSON, NEW YORK, May 3, 1866. Cashier. The firm of Cronise and Company,as may be easily imagined, were not a little ag• grieved at the blunt denial of theirrepeated statements. Desirous of asserting the truth of their charge, and of refuting the mani festo of the bank official, their counsel was directed to pen and forward the subjoined, epistle: To the Editor of the Herald—NEw YORK, May 3, 1866.—Please publish the accom panying statement of J S. Cronise & Co. in your money column to-morrow morning, and send bill [no charge--En, Hkue.r..n] for OTITL WHOLE COUNTRY. the same to Chapman & Scott, Counsel for J. S. Cronise & Co.: To the Editor of the Herald: Our attention has been called to a card signed "C.F.Timp son, Cashier of the Continental Bank," and "denying that a check drawn by John Ross on that institution in favor ot J. S. Oront,e & Co., and bearing the certification mark of the teller, had been presented at the Conti nental Bank by the payees Previous to its deposit in the Bank of the Commonwealth. Without passing any comment upon Mr. Timpson's action in endeavoring to preju dice the public as to the •merits of a case that must come before the courts for settle ment, and merely suggesting that the pub lished card would have carried with it a weightier argument had it borne the signa ture of the payingteller of the Continental Bank, we empliatically state that the check in question was sent by us to the Continen tal Bank, and presented to the paying teller of said bank, before it was accepted by us. The said paying teller examined the certifi cation and ' pronounced the same to be genuine. Then, and only then, relying upon the certification and the above state ment of the teller, we accepted the said check in payment of our gold. .. New York, May 3, 1 JB6B 6. CRONISE & Co. The much vexed question, as will be seen by the above printed document, is not likely to be at rest for some days to come. Mean time it is to be hoped that the community will await, with becoming patience, deve lopments that the most prophetic cannot foreshadow, so positive is each of the parties of the falsity of the statement made by the other. Collection of Projectiles. A correspondent residing in Washington sends us a slip that contains the following facts: A collection embracing all the different varieties of projectiles used during the war of the rebellion, has been made at the United States arsenal in this city, and sys tematically arranged in an apartment in one of the arsenal buildings specially fitted up for the purpose. Shelves are ranged completely round the room, while the cen tre is occupied by two stands, upon which the shells and other projectiles are placed in irregular order. In addition to all the pro jectiles used by the Union forces, the col lection includes a great variety of shells, solid shot, ttc., many of English mannfac tare, which have been captured from the rebels. Among those used by the Union forces we observed the James projectile, which was used to great advantage in the reduction of Fort Pulaski, in the earlier days of the rebellion. The inventor unfor tunately lost his life while engaged in ex hibiting his shell to several foreign officers and others. It appears that a workman attempted to remove a cap from a shell with a pair of plyers, when it exploded, in stantly-killing the workman and General James, who was assisting him, and severely injuring several of the bystanders. Several ingeniously constructed torpe does, designed to be used in destroying the vessels of a blockading squadron, are sus pended from the ceiling, Three of the torpedoes, taken from the James river, are constructed of common casks, with conical floats attached to each end. They were to be allowed to float down the stream with the current, until they arrived in close proxim ity to the Federal ship-of-war,and were then to be exploded by means of a cord attached. Upon one of the shelves we observed a large number of singularly shaped project iles, termed darts, invented by Floyd when Secretary of War and by him forwarded to the arsenal for trial. A collection of hand grenades of different patterns will engage the attention of visitors to the model room. • One grenade is in the form of a hollow spbere designed to be tilled with powder, from the outer surface a number of common gun nipples project upon which percussion caps are placed. The grenades are to be used to repel an assault of an enemy upon a fortification, and as they explode with but slight concussion, they would undoubtedly prove exceedingly de structive to the assaulting party. The Adams grenade is made in a similar shape, only differing in the manner in which 'it is ex ploded. It is the invention of a private in the army,who had observed that the hand gren ades in general use frequently failed to ex plode. The hollow globe contains the ex plosive matter and a common fuse, over which is placed a friction primer. To the primer a lanyard several yards in length is attached, one extremity of which is securely held in the hand of the person using the grenade. The projectile is thrown in any desired direction, and when it reaches the end of the lanyard, the friction-primer is suddenly jerked out, igniting the fulmi nating powder in the fuse, and consequently exploding the grenade. The collection contains a single specimen of a fire-ball, composed of highly com bustible materials, which, when ignited, produces a powerful white light. It takes fire when discharged from the cannon, and is intended to be thrown in the direction of any point where the enemy are supposed to be engaged in throwing up intrenchments gt night, in order that their correct position and the number of troops engaged in build ing them may be ascertained. The collec tion also contains a number of Hale's war rockets, which were extensively used in McClellan's army during the disastrous campaign on the Peninsula. The model room has been fitted up, and the shells and other projectiles carefully arranged under the supervisieniof Thomas Taylor, Esq., of the rifie-shell' department. Every article in the collection is numbered, and Mr. Taylor is at present engaged in compiling a descriptive book to contain the names, distinguishing features, history, Jo., of each individual shell or other projectile in the collection. We are informed that similar collections are being made at'the Ordnance Department- and Navy Yard, which will undoubtedly prove of immense benefit to army officers and scientific men interested in the matter.---Mentific Ameri can, April 7. FEARFUL DEATH AT TIDEOTJTE.-A shanty was burned on Dennis Run one day last week, and a helpless invalid who occupied it was literally roasted alive. It appears that one of the man's children, a little girl, attempted during the absence of her mother to start a fire. Remembering what she had seen others do, but knowing nothing of the quantity, she threw a quart of crude oil in the stove, and in a moment the place was in flames. The children barely escaped—the man was left to his fate, and soon a few bones only remained.—Meadville .Rep. LYNCH LAW n Innurois.—A correspond ,ent writing from Jerseyvfile, Illinois, gives the details of the killing of five horse thieves, by a party of "regulators." The Sheriff of Jersey county tried to stop the bloody Work, but failed. The "regulators" say that when they have killed three more of the thieves, their work will be done. • INTERNAL REVENUE.—The receipts from Internal Revenue yesterday were f 2,230,853. The Cholera at New York. (From To-dare N. Y. Herald.) Another case of eholera made its ap Mul berryon Wednesday afternoon at 115 Mul berry street, in a three-story double tene ment house, occupied by sixteen families, in all one hundred and fifty persons, the premises being in a filthy state. The patient is an Irish woman , named Mary Coyle. about thirty-five yeafs of age. She is the mother of two children and wife of a sailor who arrived from a voyage on Wedesday. The woman was taken ill at two o'clock in the morning, but neglected to send for , medical aid until three o'clock in the after noon, when Dr. Gomez, of the Sixth Ward Dispensary, was called in and immediately declared the disease to be genuine cholera. The health authorities, on being informed of the circumstances, sent immediately two medical inspectors to examine the matter, and subsequently Dr. Harris visited the patient, all of whom are satisfied as to the nature of the disease. Disinfectants have been freely dispensed through the house. Several personihave volunteered to act as nurses. .Dr. Stephen Smith and two assist ants are in constant attendance. Some slight hopes are entertained for her recovery. A tugboat was sent down to the lower bay yesterday for the purpose of bringing up to the city the cabin passengers of the'steamers Virginia and England. It was impossible to obtain a list of their names, as they did not reach town until a late hour in the evening. They number about fifty,all told. Mr. Cyrus Curtiss, yesterday afterndon, received the following report from the Deputy Health Officer in charge of the hos pital ship: Total number of cases on board the hos pital ship Falcon, May 2, New cases, Total, May 3, 103 The new cases were William Hill,aged 18, from Cavan,lreland,and Patrick McGalvey, 36, from Dublin. The cabin passengers of the England and Virginia have gone to the city. D. H. BISSELL, Deputy Health Officer. May. 3d, 1666. The Committee of the Health, Emigra tion, Quarantine Commission, recently ap pointed for the purpose of conferring and adopting such measures as may be deemed advisable for mutual co-operation and unity of action in all sanitary matters with which these corn missions are so closely allied met yesterday afternoon at the headquarters of the Health Board. The members of the press were informed by President Schultz, of the objects of the conference as above expressed, but were told by that official that reporters would not be admitted to the conference,_which was merely prelimi nary. A correspondent suggests that as the pub lic seem to be in favor of doing something to avert the ravages of cholera, bathing places might be built at the public expense in various parts of the city, where the water could be easily let in and out daring the summer months, in which those unable to afford more private baths might enjoy the luxury without money and without price. He says there are various lots up town and hollow squares on the east and west aides of the city that could be readily used for this purpose. Lower down in the city, where our population is more dense, as in the vici nity of Mulberry street and like quarters, some spare lot might be obtained and used for the same purpose. The lots could be fenced in and persons employed to see order preserved. The writer also suggests that should the Health Commission provide facilities for keeping the poor in a cleanly condition, much would be done towards their salvation from the cholera. The suggestion is at least worthy of considera tion. Alltged Robbery of Twenty Thousand Dollars In Gold. UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER'S OFFICE Before Commissioner Osborn.—John Lam bert was yesterday brought up before . Com missioner Osborn for further examination on the charge of having stolen twenty thou sand dollars in gold, the property of the United States. It is alleged that the priso ner, while a passenger on the steamer from Oregon to San. Francisco, broke open a trunk in which the money was contained, and possessed himself of its valuable con tEnts. The gold had been in care of a United States official on board the vessel. Captain John A. Kennedy, S aperintend ent of the Metropolitan police, was exam ined at some length. He identified the prisouer, and said he bad been arrested by his s instructions on information received from San Francisco. This information was contained in letters and telegrams sent to him during last month, by Mr. Lees, cap tain of the detective force in San Francisco; knows Mr. Lees by repute, but not person ally. There'are papers in reference to this charge before District Attorney Hall and Recorder Hackett, and these were the basis of witness' action in the matter. Captain Kennedy was cross-examined by Mr. Charles Spencer—Witness gave detec tives Bennett and Coyle a verbal order to arrest the prisoner, and he was arrested on the 12th of. April and brought to Mulberry street; witness was there on the 13th; pri soner was not taken before any magistrate or commissioner; a writ of habeas corpus was issued by Recorder Hackett, and served on witness; the arrest was made on the 12th, and the service of the writ on the 17th; wit ness made an affidavit before the Recorder, with the telegrams annexed; Mr. Spencer told him that he was going to get out a ha beas corpus the night before; had heard that the prisoner had been discharged by the Recorder; at the time witness made the affi davit before the Recorder he knew proceed ings were pending before that gentleman: about $4,500 in gold came into witness' pos session; this money was alleged to have been stolen by the defendant, and received by the United States Marshal under an at tachment issued from the United States-Dis trict Court; the Marshal gave witness ;re ceipt for the money on the 20thof April last. John Coyle, a detective officer, deposed that he arrested the prisoner on board the Santiago de Cuba, at the Quarantine grounds; he accused prisoner of stealing money, and told him he was arrested for the $20,000; prisoner said, "I did not steal that money;" witness said, "It was immaterial—you stole this money;" prisoner replied, "If I stole this money, it was not that money."

Queer Love Story—Operation of Two,: Rivals and the Denouement. - [Correspondence of the Adrian. (Mich.) Expositor.] An amusing incident in " love life" has transpired in the town of—, Lenawee county, which is too good to be kept from your readers, as it embodies some valuable facts and suggestive hints, that may, per chance, prove useful to the rising generation and especially those contemplating mat rimony. - Mr. E.,- a steady and industrious young gentleman, at peace with his neighbors and most everybody else, has been paying his devoirs to Miss 8., for some time, and with varying success; generally, however, pos sessing a modest degree of hope. But 'alas! for human expectations! He too, like all who "love not wisely, but too well." was destined-by capricious Cupid to taste the bitter cup of sorrow. Soon this black clouds of adversity grew dark and lowering over his devoted head, threatening to obscure the hitherto clear and bright horizon of his life, and shut out the dazzling star of his hope and future anticippions. Mr. H., a brave young soldier,having just returned from the wars, covered with fame and victory, made the acquaintance of Misie.7 8., and was deeply im rested by her un common beauty. Thinkingeverything fair in "love and war," the gallant son of Mars' "went in to win," and his handsomeperson and dashing air soon began to tell upon the susceptible heart of the fair one,much to the annoyance and perplexity of Mr. E., who now kept himself secluded and aloof from his lost love, and in an abstract and be wildered manner was often heard reciting Hamlet's soliloquy, and mumbling some thing about pistols, arsenic, laudanum, etc. Meantime the "hero of ahundred battles" . wes succeeding finely with his attack, and - seemed likely to capture the citadel of Miss. B.'s affections. But matters were soon to take a different turn. Mr. E. remembering that "faint heart;" etc., determined that his cup of happiness should not be dashed to the earth without one effort on his behalf to turn the tide of affairs. With this object in view, he gained an interview with the 3 onng soldier, and regaled him with a few observations on the moral character of Miss B. which were certainly not to her credit. Of course this piece of infirmation aston ished the young warrior, and he was - loth . to believe the assertions of Mr. E., until, he was told that Mr. E. was personal)* ac quainted with the facts which he had just revealed. The result of the interview was that Mr. E. returned home flushed with his success, and was once more a happy man.. Bat as all roses have thorns, so his new-foundhap piness soon took wings and flew away: The ardent love excited in the heart of Mr. H. was not of a trifling nature, and he determined (which determination was after wards broken) that he would never give her up. "Though storm on storm around him burst, And waves dashed high and fierce." With this resolution firmly fixed in his . mind, be visited Mr. E, and told him that he had neCome convinced of Miss B.'s im propriety, and that he (E.) would bitterly repent the day if he should marry her. This announcement fell like a thunderbolt upon the heart of E., for he had manufactured his statement out of whole cloth, and now the same testimony came to him from H. Shocked beyond description, he declared that he would never look upon her face again; and H., rejoicing at having beaten his antagonist at his own game, immedi ately repaired to the home of the fair inam orata, and offered his heart and hand, which oiler was duly accepted. Arrangements were made for the wending, and the young lover, with a devotion unsurpassed, and a heroic magnanimity worthy so good a cause r gave the blushing bride-elect $25 to defray some of the necessary expenses. As might be expected, this was a stun ning blow to poor E. But with a tenacity unparalleled he directed his steps to the residence of the object of his heart's devo tion. Here he encountered Mr. H., who was present making the final arrangements for the coming nuptials. The scene that followed bathes the power of our very limi ted vocabulary to describe. They stared at each other with the greatest amaze ment depicted in their countenances, The young lady's friends, fearing hysterics or some other dangerous demonstration, inter fered, requested Mr. E. to be seated, and said the young men had better settle the matter personally, and come to some defi nite and rational conclusion. The young gentlemen, recognizing: the justice - of this . parental advice, consented to an amicable • settlement by referring the question to the lady herself. With this in view the con fused trio went into the parlor, and being rested the gallant soldier said: "Now, Miss 8., you see us both; which will yon have?" Mr. E. thinking his case rather doubtful, chimed in. "Miss 8., remember that fine house I built last summer on purpose for you." "Recollect," broke in H., "that I have followed the flag of your country over the sunny battle-fields of the South, to save yon and your friends, and now will you cast me off?' "Bear in mind," - said E., "there is ono hundred and sixty acres of land; it shall all te yours if you will only say the word." This was too much for frail human nature to stand unmoveckand the bewildered dam sel declared in favor of her old lover, Mr. E., contrary to all expectation. A.smile lit up the countenance of the soldier, as he 4:if coolly said : "Mr. E. will you have the kindness to - hand me that s2o I gave Miss B.?" "Certainly," said E., and putting his hand - in his pocket, he paid over the money. Thereupon they all shook hands and separated firm friends. Mr. E. and Miss • B. are married now, and undoubtedly happy. A. N. VERMONT.
