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

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

they have killed three more of the thieves,
their work will be done. •

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

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."
Cross-examined by Mr. Blankman—Two
week's ago Mr. C. S. Spencer told witness he
was counsel for the prisoner; witness told
Mr. Spencer that Lambert had informed
him that the money was his (Lambert's),
and that he was not afraid to go back; wit
ness did advise him to go back and prove
the money was his.
Mr. Robert Murray, United States Mar
shal; deposed that he had attached the mo
ney mentioned in the receipt, and that mo
ney was now in his possession and under his
control; it was deposited in the First Na
tional Bank; be could not produce that pro
perty before the Commissioner without an
order from Judge Betts.

A. 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.
