This check has not been presented at the bank, but a third party was arrested with a forged cheok calling for §470 50 on the same bank, and purporting to have been signed by Mr. Shaw. This person states that he was told to collect the money by the accused. They were committed. Trinity Church Fair.— The ladies con nected with the Trinity Church.

The popnlar old house of Messrs. A. K. <fc F. K. Womrath, 417 Arch street, Who may justly besald to stand at the head of the fancy fur trade In tb la country, never presented a more animated appearance than It dees now. It Is true there is much that conspires to this result Their i took of elegant, fashionable and expensive furs is princely, embracing many magnificent things In the Fur line that are scarcely found outside of their esta blishment Then their facilities for procuring the choicest of fhrs flrom all parts of the world—which give them great advantages In point of prices—and tnelr wide and well-earned reputation tor dealing with their customers as if every one of them was andxp9rt judge or the article, all combine' to make this house a favo rite, not only here, bnt to buyers throughout the United States. Another thing has added Immensely to their business this season, and that Is that the peo ple have learned that their stock of medium price goods Is the best In the city, and that their prices b rough out are lower than the same class of goods can be bought at anywhere else. 1 Stuart’s Unrivaled Candy.— MITCHELL & FLETCHER, . 12j4 Chestnut street.

Rebuilt.— By far the greatest single loss occurring from the Portland fire, was that of the immense sugar-house owned by J. B. Brown <fc Sous. We rejoice to learn that they have now completed externally their new building. It is nine stories high in front and eight in the rear. The contractors began to lay the brick September 20, and have put two million five hundred thou sand into the building Bince that time. It is expected that the works will begin to turn out sugar in March next. . Colorado Gold Shipments.— For the week ending the 13th, over nine hundred ounces of gold were shipped from Central City, Colorado. At sixteen dollars per ounce this would amount to 814,400. or nearly 860,000 a month. > . The .Chestnut.—The dramatic novelty of last night was Mr. James Sohonberg’s dramatization of Reade’s “Griffith Gaunt,” at the Cheetnnt. It attracted a large house, from the fact that Daly’s version will be given at the Arch next week. - Many of our readers are familiar with the story, but we epitomize it as given last night. Griffith Gaunt, supposed heir, to a large property in Cumberland, England, is in love with Miss Kate Peyton, rlso a possible heir to the same property. Gaunt is a Protestant and Miss Peyton a Catholic. Miss Peyton has another lover in the person of Sir George Neville, and Gaunt and Neville fight a duel, which is interrupted by her entrance, after Gannt has been wounded. Soon after Gaunt and Miss Peyton are married and live hap pily enonght save some trouble arising from the interference of Father Leonard, a priest, in the domestic arrangements of the Gaunt family. Here a jealous waiting- maid, Caroline Ryder, comes in to add to the trouble, wiuoh eulminates in Gannt knock ing down the priest, insulting his wife and rushing off an hundred miles to another county. Here he has brain -fever. He thinks his wife false, and under a certain kind of pressure marries Miss Mercy Yint, a complete contrast, in the way of gentleness to his high spirited wife Kate. About this period Gaunt, concealihg his second marriage, visits his original wife, who receives him furiously, after learning from Caroline Ryder that he has deceived Mercy Yint. That same night Gaunt dis appears, and so doe 3 Tom Leicester, his foster brother, who strikingly resembles him, Mrs. Gannt No. 1 is accused of the murder of Gaunt, and tried therefor. After an exciting time it is ascertained that Leicester has fallen into a moat while drunk and has been eaten by fishes. Gaunt re-ap pears and his wife, owing to the.exertions of Mercy Vint, is acquitted in triumph. The parts of Gaunt and Tom Leicester were splendidly played by Mr. G. H. Clarke. Miss Heron aid not do so' well as Kate Pey ton. Miss Cooper was admirable as Mercy Yint, and we may say the same of Mrs. Perry as Caroline Ryder, Mrs. Baker in the minor part of Mrs. Vint, Mr. Dubois as Neville, Mr. Jennings as Father Leonard, Mr. Woolf as Mr. Atkins, and Mr. Mackay as Mr. Houseman, a lawyer. The play will be repeated this evening. The Walnut.—Mr. J. S. Clarke appears this evening in “The Comedy of Errors,” “The Merchant’s Clerks” and "Tornine the Tables.” The Arch.—Mr. F. 8. Chanfrau appears to-night in “Onr American Cousin at Home” and “The Debutante.” The American.—“ The Black Crook.” Assembly Building.—Signor Blitz. National Hall.—The Old Folks. Christmas Entertainments.—By the official announcement it will be seen that the usual Christmas entertainments at the Academy of Music will be given this year. Ou Christmas afternoon “The Arabian Nights Entertainment” will be given, with fifty tableaux of the most gorgeous charac ter. The vast building will be thronged with eager expectants, both young and old, and the spectacle will be enjoyed to the full! Calcutta Copal Resins.—The Oomptes Bendua contains some new researches by H. Violette on these resins, which previously had beenibnnd soluble in ether, turpentine, benzole, petroleum and other hydron car bons, as well as vegetable oils, only after losing about twenty-five per cent, of their weight by distillation. Violette’s experi ments show that these resins, heated in a closed vessel at a temperature between 350 or 400°C., or 662 and7s2° Fahr., acquire after cooling, without losing any of their weight, the property of dissolving, hot or cold, in the above named liquids, and forming ex cellent varnishes. He finds also that copal resin, heated as stated,under pressure, with one-third of drying linseed oil and one third of essence of turpentine, gives directly, without loss, a rich, clear limpid varnish of a beautiful slightly lemon color, perfectly adapted for carriages, and for the inside as well as the ontßide of rooms, where delicate painting is required. Under the doable in fluence of heat and pressure thi3 resin ac quires new properties. Manufacturers, who would take advantage of this discovery, must bear in mind the retort used will be subject to a pressure of at least 300 lbs. to the square inch. The Virginia Vineyards.—There is reason to believe that the vineyards of the Piedmont valley will become an important source of wealth to Virginia. Tne sur rounding mountain ranges give them a warm and even climate, which is pecu liarly favorable to grape culture. They are quite free from rust and mildew. During the last season, when even the excellent vineyarns of Ene, in this Slate, suffered se verely, those in Piedmont escaped unin jured. The grapes ripen there nearly a month earlier than our New York varie ties, and are said to equal, if not to surpass them in flavor. The yield is also claimed to be more abundant— N, Y. Post. Post Offices in the South,—The Post master General has decided to discontinue all post offices in the Southern States where the late postmasters fail to make a return of money and stamps in their hands at the beginning of the war. Very few of the old offices in the Southern States have thus far been re-opened, and except where special applications are made, no more will be for Borne time to come. During the present week one hundred and thirty-six offices in North Carolina were thus officially designated as discontinued. Out of eight thousand post offices in North Carolina, only three thou sand have thus far been re-opened. The Mint.—The Superintendent of the Mint shows that the gold, silver and copper coinage from 1793 to 18®, inclusive, is §987,- 500.000. The gold coinage was about $845,- 500,000; the silver, §136,333,333, and the cop per, §5,500,000. The total coinage of tne Branch Mint at San Francisco daring the first eight months of this year, was §9,642,000 of gold, and nearly §500,000 in sliver. As there was a subsequent increase, the Direc tors think that the business of the entire year will be fully up to the average. FARSON a CO. Subscription circulars are now out in Baltimore proposing a general subscription to erect a marble monument over the re mains of the late Chief Justice Roger B. Taney, in the Catholic Cemetery at Freder ick City, where he is burled, beside his mother. It will cost about fifteen thousand dollars. Hugh McAleer and Judge Mar shal, of Frederick, are the prime movers in the scheme. Indian Troubles.— The Indians are still having their own way in the vicinity of Fredericksburg, Texas. They recently killed an old man named Berend, at Cherry Springs, took all the horses they couid lay hands on, and got safely off as usual. Near Boerne they came near getting a lot of government animals. —HAINES' BROS.’ . ■SSaahttve dealt In them for '■ i —, miffil , riTIM mil'guaranteeatoli|for 5 years. Prices MrlTl fromf3oo to IGM. J.
