CITY BIILLETII4I.
A Toucii or WINTER.—Jatk Frost pat in
,an appearance last night, and to-day the
:weather feels very much like winter. 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 of a watch valued at $25, belonging to .
Mrs. Baird, residing at No. 426 North Nine

Tim STAR COVESE.—Nasby's lecture at the
Academy of Music last night was delivered to
an immense number of persons ? all of whom
seemed pleased with the entertainment. Mr.

letters, contrived to make that side of the sub
ject ridiculous by the absurdity of the posi
tions assumed, The next lecture of the Star
Course will be delivered on Monday evening
next by Ralph Waldo Emerson, who will
discuss " Social Life in America." In speak
ing of Mr. Emerson; Mr. Pugh's circular says,
with spine degree of truth : 'lt is not claim
ing too much for Einerson to say that
done more to mould American thought than
any man who lives in this country. Hazlitt
said of Montaigne that in his wonderful
essays might be found all that was worth any
thing iu philosophy or morals and it may be
affirmed in like manner of Emerion that not
only is there nothing in American thought
that he has not mastered, butthat there is very
little of which he is not the master,—the origi
nator aud elaborator."

TAKE ISTHMUS OF PANAMA.
Aa rienltural Information.
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.

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

Another Meetlntr•.-Itnmored Death of

(From the Rochester (IV. Y.) Union and Advertiser of
February 114.1
Soule time last summer a Spaniard and a
Cuban, the first-named connected with a paper
in New York city, fought a duel in Canada,
near Niagara Falls. The Cuban was seriously
wounded, it will be remembered. Yesterday
it was rumored at the Falls that the same par
ties on Friday last had another " set-to" of a
similar character, in about the same locality,
.in which the Cuban was instantly killed.
After the terininadoli of the affair, it is re
ported, the parties quietly returned to this
side,conveying the body of the dead Cuban
to the depot, where they took the train again
for New York. •

The ;Pittsburgh COMMerCkfr of, last night'
rs.ifeleti•Morgani a reddest of Philadel-,
phist, arrived in this city on Ttiesday, and!
imule.infornhation before Mayor Brush, charg
,ing her husband, Daniel Morgan, with aban
donment, and refusing to support her and
their nildren. 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-

A' Forged $20,e00 Warrant... 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.

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. The Chinese are settlers
here, and claim legal rights, which are guar
anteed in the treaty, but nothing of that kind
is required of Europe. Mr. Brown did not
see Secretary Fish to-day, but left the treaty
with Mr. J. C. Bancroft Dayis.t Mr. Brown
will have an interview to-morrow with the
President and Mr. Fish.
