Charged with Foegery.—Before Al
derman Beitler, yesterday afternoon, Alfred
Evans and Thomas McAllister, alias Smith,
had a bearing upon the charge of forgery.
It seemß that one of the accused sold a lot
of waste paper • and rags to Mr. Robert
Shaw, doing business on the wharf, and re
ceived as payment a check on the Corn Ex
change Bank for §75. 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. Catharine,
above Second street, are now holdings Fair
at Washington Building, Third street, above
Spruce. The fanpy and other articles for
sale are tasteful, and elegant. A beautiful
fire horn is on the stand to be voted for, also
a base-ball set; but the reader, to appreciate
the preparations, should make a visit to the
Fair. The purpose for which the funds thus
raised are to be devoted, is a most 'worthy
one, and deserves a liberal encouragement.
We may add that paintings of Lincoln, by
Waugh, and General Grant, by : Lambdin,
will also be. voted for. A fine portrait of
General Meade also graces the Fair.
A Pleasant Fair.— The ladies connected
With the Church of the Nativity, at the oor
ner of Eleventh and Mount Vernon streets,
are now holding a fair in the basement of
the church, for the sale of useful and fancy
articles. The proceeds of the sale are for the
benefit of the Sunday School and the poor of
the parish. Persons in want of goods for
Christmas presents can, no doubt, be suited,
if they will only call and look at the splen
did display offered at the church. They will
also assist in a good cause, in taking care of
the poor and helping the Sunday School.
Presentation of Diplomas.— The di
rectors, teachers and pupils of the North
west Grammar Schools assembled yester
day afternoon in the school building, the
occasion being the presentation of diplomas

Ladies’ Fancy Furs for Holiday Pre
sents—lt Is gratify iDg to find that the comparative
stagnation in trade is not universal. 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

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.
