The ' , Mercury in the thermometer ran down some .distance below the freezing point, and at an early hour this morning the gutters were all coated with -ice. Muddy streets have been ;converted' into dusty thoroughfares. The skating-park people have contracted their vis :ages a little bit. They have been in utter de spair during the past two months. Ono or :two parks had a day early in December, but ealized an amount scarcely sufficient to pay Tor patting the places in order for use. LbTow prospects have brightened slightly, but the weather has been 'so fickle during this season that no de pendence can be placed upon it. While overcoats are very comfortable to-day, it may be necessary to , trot out summer rigs to-mor row.' The ice men are in a worse fix than the skating-park fraternity. They haven't been able to gather in a particle yet. The capacity of many of the ice-houses along the Schuylkill ilaS been increased so that a supply for two years can beheld, but thus far there hasu't een a chance to get in enough to make a cocktail. How we are to manage about sherry cobblers, mint-juleps, etc., next summer, it is impossible to say. The prospects look very dismal for lovers of 'f cooling beverages." As ' before intimated, there is no knowing,what May turn up with the weather however. The ponds to-day are iced about the edges. To morrow they may be entirely covered with good, thick ice. 'rwci or three days of severe weather will be all that is required to fill our ice-houses and relieve the anxiety of thousands of people. TEE RIFLE CLun.—Heretofore the head quarters of the Philadelphia Rifle Club for practice,Br,c.,have been at Washington Retreat and therethe annual festivals have been given for years past. AB the "Retreat" is a portion of the property to be incorporated within the limits ofl airmount Park, it becomes neces „ sary to seek a new locality for the exercise of the Club. Recently a fine farm, comnrising nineteen acres, and located on Indian - Queen Lane, near the Falls of Schuylkill, has been purchased for. $30,000. The propertT is to be properly fenced in, and fitted up with all the appliances required for the ' festivals of thd German Singing and other societies, as well as those of the Rifle Club. There is already a large and sub stantial ni anion upon the ground. The lo cation of this new Park is very advantageous. The' cans of the Philadelphia, Germantown and Norristown Railroad Company stop within a. few yards of its boundaries, and the Schuylkill River Steamboat Landing and the Ridge Avenue . Passenger Railway are but a short distance away. Everything will be iu readiness for .opening in time ler the summer festivals. As Fairmount Park also takes in Fngel & Wolf's Farm, and that place will soon be numbered among the things that were, the Park of the Philadelphia Rifle Club *ill, no doubt, become the popular place of resort for the Germans hereafter. - LARCENY.—Jan Donnelly, aged 17 years, Was arrested ;vesterday,npon the charge of the larceny of a watch valued at $25, belonging to .

It may be fairly assumed,from what we see, even in the neighborhood of Panama, that many tracts of land are now covered with brushwood, which were cultivated in the time of the Spaniards. Although even that was never to a great extent, notwithstanding they had the advantage of slave labor, the very po sition of the Isthmus has always fomented a spirit of trade, more than any serious or per manent attraction towards agricultural pro ducts. The ruins Of the great works of our pre decessors confirm this view ; and show the ge neral tendency of men's minis at the time. We have the massive remains of forts, churches and mines; with one or two well-made roads between the fortified points. Here and there we may meet with a well built of stone and • a • house overlooking a cattle farm, but nowhere do we.meet with any remains of mills, or' any such like establishments connected with agri cultural pursuits. Even during the periods of . the severest commercial depression which oc .curred from time to time in our colonial his tory, agriculture did not extend beyond the production of rice, beans, Indian corn, plan tains, &c., and only enough of them for do mestic consumption. In view of this, it is encouraging to know that a company of merchants have resolved to 'introduce the culture of indigo on the Isth mus. Although modern chemistry has ex- • tracted many beautiful dyes from coal tar. yet 'good indigo always brings a good price in the markets. Neither in its culture nor elaboration does the indigo require so many hands as other products of tropical agriculture, provided the number necessary is always forthcoming at the time when the chemical changes occur, ,which separate the indigo from the plant. The place chosen for the experiment, we be lieve, is near Sona,in Veraguas. We have no ,doubt that equally favorable localities might be donfid'nearer . Palianiti..We redieinher to have seen in the Island of Taboga the indigo plant growing wild, under the shade of some veteran tamarind trees and not far off, two 'cocao, and about a dozen of coffee trees. Who brought the seeds and who planted them ; the answer was—Quien sale:' The indigo plants have gone ; but the rest are there, showing at least the aAlaptability of the soil and climate for any and all of these important tropiCal Productions. The only agricultural establish ment worth mentioning on the Isthmus is the sugar plantation founded by our friend Dr. Kratochwil on the banks of the Bayano Panama Star. TILE CIVILIZED INDIAN. The Red Woman as a Blackleg. The Gold Hill (Nevada) Yews has the follow, ing among its local items : We noticed a very comfortable and genial looking party df 'Flute females, yesterday morning, near the railroad crossing on Main street, at the upper end of Gold Hill, seated on the ground in the pleasant sunshine, deeply engaged in a game of cards. Five or six of them were playing, and about a dozen younger squaws, "little injuns," and old bucks, were very latently looking on. They bad plenty of cards, about a hatfull, apparently collected promiscuously from the sweepings of saloons, and each squaw took a grab from the main pile as often as she got out, each playing a card or two in turn noon a certain pile. The game might have been whist, euchre, seven-up, or poker, for aught we could discover, but if it was either of these popular games, they certainly had -their - own peculiar - way' of playing it; - and pre: clone little regard for Hoyle. They appeared to enjoy it, however, fu)ly as well as their dusky lords do high-toned poker, at a bit ante. THE SPAN INEI.CIUBAN ;DUEL lAT NIAGARA FALLS.

The information sets forth that on the 15th of October, 1860, in the city of Philadelphia, and now in Pittsburgh, the said Daniel Morgan had abandoned his, wife and children, and neglected and refused to con tribute to their support. • A warrant was issued and the neglectful busband was arrested at his place of employ- Anent, the liquor store of Mows.. Dierker & Speck, On Smithfield street, where he has been engeged as driver for Some time. Ho gave bail for a hearing yesterday morning at ten o'clock. At that hour' his wife was on hand in thq Mayor's private office but, from some cause or othei, her counsel, John Coyle, Esq., one'of the most, prompt attorneys at the bar, failed to put , iman appearance. Messrs. Moreland and Moore, attorneys for the husband, appeared for him, and out of courtesy to Mr. Coyle, waited until after ;eleven o'clock. As he did not appear and could not be found by the officers sent to no tify him, Mr. Moreland stated that the de fence could wait no longer, and desired to go on with the hearing. The Mayor suggested that it 'would be no hardship to postpone the' hearing until four o'clock in the afternoon, and in the meantime Mr. Coyle would be notified to appear. Mr. Moreland objected to this, and insisted on going on with the hearing. Mrs. Morgan stated that she had a right to the advice and assistance , of her counsel, and would prefer not to proceed without him. Mr. Moreland said that the defendant was present to answer, and if Mrs. Morgan had anything to say, she had better be sworn and go upon the witness stand. Mrs. Morgan expressed a determination to stand upon her legal rights. Mr. Moreland, to cut the matter short, said : Madam, as counsel for Mr. Morgan; I am authorized to say that he is ready and willing to take you back to his home, as his wife, and render you such support as his circumstances will justify. lam also authorized to say that he has two friends here, both reputable citi zens, each of whom is willing to take one of the children, clothe and educate it, and give it all needful attention. Under the law, Madam, you must accept this proposition to make his home yours, and live in such a man ner as his moans will justify, or you must abandon this prosecution. Are you prepared to go with him? Mrs. Morgan—No, sir; I am ndt—not here in Pittsburgh. Where is his home here?.lf he will return with me to Philadelphia, I may consent to live with him. That is a strange proposition to make about the children—sup port them by giving into the custody anti keeping of strangers! I cannot consent to that. Mr. Moreland—Well, your Honor (address ing the Mayor), I say, as a matter of law, that tins action cannot be maintained if the de fendant was before the Court of Quarter Ses sions, and the plaintiff would refuse to live with him, as Ins wife and the mother of his children; the .Ceurt would dismiss the com plaint. The Mayor—Suppose, Mr. Moreland, that the wife should consent to live with her hus band and withdraw t prosecution, what guarantee has she , that he will not abandon her and flee to some other city, just as he left her in Philadelphia to come here? Mr. Moreland—With such consequences your Honor has nothing to do. I merely state the law. The Mayor expressed an unwillingness to force the lady to a hearing without her coun sel. Mr. Moreland then waived a hearing, as be had a right to do, and tendered bail for Mor gan's appearance at the 'next term of Court. The Mayor fixed the bail at $l,OOO, which was promptly entered. And now comes a part of the. story which did not develop until ,after the hearing. Mrs. Morgan alleges that she had her husband arrested in Philadelphia, for abandonment, and got a decree of the. Court requiring him to pay to her the sum of five dollare per week, until such time as the order should be altered or revoked. He paid this sum for a time, and then lied from the city. She never ascertained his whereabouts until recently, when she learned he, was in this city and came on and ordered his arrest. She does not want to live with him, but is very anxious to have him taken back to Philadelphia, on a bench warran'L'with a view to compel him to obey the order of the Court there. Morgan does not desire to live with her, and says he would rather cut his arm off than take her back, He knew he would be safe in offering to live with her, ay she would certainly reject the offer, and the legal effect would be in his favor. But Mrs. Morgan is determined to get him back to Philadelphia, if such a thing be possible, and gave his counsel to under stand as much. Mr. Moreland informed her that she could not take him beyond the juriik diction of this Court, while he was under bonds for - trial here, but she was lawyer enough to say .that whenhen she got things in readiness, she would withdraw the, prosecu tion here, and see whether there was not some process to take him back toPhiladelphia. So the case stands at present. • ' We may state, injustice to Mr. Coyle, that be appeared just after the ,bail had been en tered, and that his absence was owing to the fact that he mistook the hour. Reddy the Blasksmith Will Recover if Lockjaw Does Not intervene—The First inmate of the New Accident Ward.-- Heinesabers Nothing of the Fight. The New York Sun bf this morning says:. ' As stated in the Sun of yesterdayy, the Hon., William Farley, alias Reddy the Blacksmith, was fearfully beaten in L lore:ace's , saloon,, Houston Street and Broadway, by one James Haggerty, a notorious rough, of, Philadelphia. The evening papers, as a general thing; posted on their bulletins yesterday : "The Death' of Reddy 'the Blacksmith. A Sun reporter visited Bellevue Hospital, and was courteously received 'by Warden Brennan, who said that Reddy was still alive, and there AVM little hope but that he would recover. The doctor; however, had ordered him to be kept very quiet, and not to talk much. The/ Warden, however kindly consented to let the reporter see Reddy. The notorious invalid was comfortably lying in the new ward on the Reddy known as the Accident Ward;. Reddy can claim the honor of being the first inmate of this ward. He lay on one of the cots . to all appearances asleep. His head was in a frightful condition. There are three cuts on the forehead, which are dressed and bandaged. There is also a cut under one of his eyes, and the other eye must have been considerably damaged, for Reddy finds it impossible to open either. His lips are swollen to an enormous size, se much so as to prevent a person hear ing what Reddy Says ' unless he is very close to him. His hand Is frightfully lacerated, the tiesh and muscles having been torn in a ..terrible. manner . by. the_ broken-glass, _The out on the hand is the only thing which makes Reddy's case look dangerous, for lock- • jaw may set in. Beside the bed sits, Mrs. Harley, who does all in her power to make her husband as comfortable as possible. Reddy lay still for several moments, until his wife said he was awake, when he moved a little to one side, and muttered that he guessed he would be able to go home to-night. He asked his wife once before, to remove him home, but the warden told Reddy that it would be better for himself to remain where ho was for three or four days, and it is. very likely that he will take his ad Vice. Reddy, it appears, had been on a drunk for five or six days, and was almost crazy. In fact, he says himself that he &ea not remember going into Florence's; that he recollects no , one who was tin re; and nothing about the muss. Ho was' perfectly exhausted after his debauch, and slept from one o'clock Thursday morning un til three yestetday afternoon. When he awoke he inquired of his wife where he was and what was the matter with him. Dr. Mc- Lean, houSe-surgeon of Bellevue Hospital, is estim W*Fli 'AISAB!D9q1111[1011 , . ,'• HAG GERTY'S VICTIM.

Supposed • Ellight'of the Somer. • • Yesterday afternoon the Treasurer of the oity of Newark received a oall from r a boy of 17,wh0 presented a city warrant, drawn °Min sroper form and signed by Mayor Itioord, for 20,000. The boy demanded payment, and , the Treasurer took the warrant and com menced counting out the money. Ho had counted out $15,000, when he found that he bad not money enough to pay the warrant in full. He therefore requested the bearer to call again, and ho would draw on the city funds in bank for the remaining $5,000. The boy took his warrant and left:' , lt , waa not then known that'the warrant was fraudulent, and the signature of the Mayor a forgery. But the subsequent confes sion of the youth who presented it, and who had become alarmed, and had refused to go again to the Treasurer, proves that it was • a fraud concocted with great care, by an assist ant in the City. Clerk's office, and part of a series of frauds perpetrated by him on the City Treasury. According to the statement of the lad, - made to his employer in Jersey City, the forger has for, a number of months been engaged in a systematic course of embezzlement, and that his thefts have amounted to $15,000. These frauds could be concealed no longer, and tho perpetrator determined to wind up his affairs with a larger swindle, and leave for Califor nia. He took the Jersey City lad into his con fidence, paid him $3OO for his services, and sent him to the City Treasurer with the forged warrant. Upon learning that the money could not be paid yesterday, the boy returned the warrant to the forger saying he would have nothing more to do with it. The latter, learning of the failure of his plans, im mediately left the city, it is stated, for San Francisco. These facts were communicated last evening to a private detective in Jersey City, who im mediately went to Newark to obtain the aid of Chief of Police Clark in tracing the facts of the case, and to apprehend, if possible, the fugitive clerk. Whether the frauds have ex ceeded the figures named, in what precise manner they have been carried on, or whether the forgery of the $20,000 warrant is the first that has been perpetrated, cannot be known until the officers of the Newark City Govern ment are apprised of the facts, and have had time to make their inyestigation.—Trib une. HEAVY SRUGOLING FRAUDS. Over 40.000 Cigars Seised on a Havana Vessel Yesterday In .New York—cigar Boxes Secreted In Bundles of Lumber —The Detection of the Scheme. The Times of this morning says : The steamer Eagle, which arrived at ,this port from Havana on Wednesday evening last, contained among its cargo twenty-one large bundles of pine planks or boards, each being marked with the letters M.M.D.,the initials of the name oftheperson to whom they were con signed. These bundles were seized on board of the vessel yesterday by Custom House officers, theresult of which was the discovery of a cun ningly-devised plot for cheating. the Govern ment. In the centre of each of the bundles were snugly hid twenty-one full boxes of Havana cigars, making a total of 441 boxes. The manner in which the boxes were con cealed gave evidence of ingenious smuggling skill: Each of - theintier boards °fate various bundles was found to have had apiece cut out of uniform size and shape, and to have been nicely fitted together, so that they presented large oblong openings. Into these twenty-one receptacles so conned the cigar boxes were compactly packed, but were covered with several uncut planks on both sides in order to keep them from being seen. Exactly how the fraud was detected has not been ascertained, although Mr. Lee, a sharp tletective connected with the Seizure Department at the Custom House, is said to be deserving of credit in the matter. It is believed that the seized property was shipped on board of the steamer Eagle in a surreptitious manner, while the vessel was being loaded at.! Havana. All of the cigars are of lirst-class quality, and will be a heavy loss to the owner, whoever he may be. It is understood that his name is known or suspected by the officers who made the seizure, but they do not care to have it become public for some personal reas.m. .It is not probable that he will make any claim for the cigars, which are valued at about 515,000, rather preferring, to acquiesce in their for feiture than to render himself liable to crimi nal action. The moieties which will ,be re ceived in case the smuggled property is con demned will be very large. Another Tragedy In New Jersey. New Jersey has been the scene of another tragedy. In this case the victim is a negro, whose name has not transpired. The alleged murderer is a young man named John Wana maker, whose father formerly kept a butcher shop in Jersey City. From what can be as certained the accused, who resided with his father at Rock Hill, Bergen county, became enraged with a colored man, on Tuesday night, and struck him so violent'a , blow that he fell down and almost instantly expired. The young man subsequently quarreled with Its father, who afterwards hearing of the murder became so disordered in his mind that is feared be will have to be sent to the asylum at Trenton. Young Wanamaker has not yet been arrested. .The negro was a servant of the elder Wanamaker. OIIR CHINESE FRIENDS. Arrival of the Secretary of the Burnam , acne Mission nigh the Ratified Treaty-- Satisfaction of Prince Kling with the Stipulations. .She Washington-correspondent-of the says : Mr. J. McLeavy Brown, Secretary of the Burlingame Chinese mission , arrived here to day, bearing the ratified treaty made with our - government. Mr. Brown came here by way of California from China, and represents the Chinese government as entirely satisfied with. the conduct of the Burlingame Mission thus far. Mr. Brown got to Pekin last October, and bad along interview with Prince Kung,the head of the Chinese administration. Prince Kling welcomed Mr. ,Brown in the most cordial manner, made inquiries regarding Mr. Burlingame and his associate Ministers : read over the American treaty, and after weighing every article and paragraph in the most care ful manner declared that it met his entire- sat isfaction. The nroper ratification was put to the treaty and Mr. Brown was entrusted with the duty of bearing it to our government. All the stories about unwillingness on the part of China to accede to the terms, of the treaty are pronounced by Mr. Brown to be entire fabrications. The delayin returning with the ratified copy was caused by a wish expressed by Mr. Burlingame to have the document retained in China until the labors of the mission should be wound up. so that then he might return to China and have the pleasure of bringing it to Washington 'him self. This plan was subsequently changed. It appears that no formal treaties have been made with England, France or the other European Powers. Mr. Burlingame • has simply made agreements with those Powers, settling in a satisfactory manner the claim to intercourse in the in ternal-affairs of China. All these Powers give up. their-extraordinary. ell! luso in. that regard, and to have accomplishedthat much may well be regarded as a triumph of Chinese diplo macy. Treaties with European govern ments of exactly the same_ kind as that with our government could not be expected. The conditions are different. We have here a state of affairs .that has no parallel in Europe.
