Probably Fatal Shooting Affair.
A shootiag affair occurred Wednesday
- . evening about fiv, ii 'o'clock, on the line of
the Pittsburgh, Columbus and Cin,Cinnati
♦-Railroad, about five miles west of Steuben:
• - vile, which in all probability, will result
- "'fatally.to Mr. William Brew," forethan of
Division No. 13; on'that road. _lt appears
• that some Weeks since Mr. Brew discharged
• from his employ Michael Yanglui on ac
count of his ill nature and . disagreeable
temper. Since then Vaughn has shown a
strong hatred toward his for Mer “boss;"
and.at the time mentioned, while Brew's
men were repairing the track near Gould's
station, and while the five o'.elock train was
approaching, Vaughn, armed• with a double
barrelled shot gun, which he had loaded
with slugs, crept up behind Brew, and shot
him fit the left side, the whole charge of
-slugs taking-effect and producing a. - . wound
which it is thought may prove fatal. - The
noise of the train prevented the report of
the gun being heard, and Vaughn had es
-
• eaped-before the fact of the *shooting became
known. Only a few nights ago Mr. Brew's
.house was burned, we are informed, and
his family barely escaped with their lives.
It is supposed - that Vaughn set fire to the .
• building. - .=,
A Stolen Watch Recovered. •
Two years ago Messrs - Dunseath Ha%
lett, the well known Jewelers on Fifth street,
;sold a line,gold watch to a gentleman in
New Castle for two hundred ant 2 soienty .
. dollars. One year ago. the 'watch was

Yesterday, singular to say, it was left at the
''. Jewelry store where purchased for repairs
• by aman giving his name asMichael Shan
- non. Mr. Dunseath immediately reoe,..gniz
ed the watch as the stolen ono ' and had its
reputed owner promptly arrested. On be
ing taken. to the tombs, Shannon told sev
-eral conflicting storiesin accounting for its
possession, but finally stated th"t he had
bought it from an unknown Englishman for
eighteen,dollara. There , will be a hearing
la his case to-day.

Heavy Forgeries — The Consequences of Fast
Living—The Tierpetrator •Non Est."
161
123
In the GAZETTE of yesterday *e alluded
to the fact that heavy forgeries had been
committed in this city recently and cited
some of the partimilars in the case, omit
ting, hOwever, the names of te parties and
other interesting .facts for prudential' rea
sons..
• The alleged forger,'James Johnston. pro
prietor of the St. awrence hotel, and a
heavy ! street contractor, it appears has for ,
some months past been in considerable diffi
culty, financially, and a large amount ofhis
paper was - throw-non the market, the hold
ers of- which, becoming weary, went into an
investigation Of his afialrs, through Which
it transpired that he was not only involved
financially but had been illegally using the
names of his father and brother-in-law.
Among the first to discover the latter
fact were: S. McClean, Jr., and Thomas
Collins, the former holding notes of John
ston to the ainount of 51,200, and the latter
$453. They immediately instituted civil
snits to .recovef the amount, upon which
Johnston confessed judgment, and under
direction of the parties a levy was at once
made by the Sheriff on the hotel, fixtures,
&c. While the gentlemen named were se
,curing themselves from loss, other ,parties
holding, notes were . inspecting and inquir
ing into the-securities held by them, which
in every case were pronounced forgeries.
The aggregate • amount of the forgeries
thus far ascertained will probably reach
j 512,000, but this sum may be increased.
The operator has been pursuing this line
1 of business for some time past, and he
played his game so careftilly that he es
caped suspicion- until Monday. His father,
! Mr. Robert Johnston who resides in Wash
ington county, is wealthy, and his brother
in-law, Mr. D. Gilmore, of the firm of Gil
-1 more, Straub & Co„brewers of Allegheny, is
also in good financial condition. The stand
ing of the parties - named assisted him in his
operations. and he has been enabled to de
, fer his detection by making new notes and
lifting the old ones when they became due.
Among those who hold his mites are the
following : Union National Bank, 51,500; T.
Ewing, Esq., $1,000; Citizens National Bank,
$2,000; S. Hare, $1,000; 3.. Schlelein, 51,000;
• Patton' . grieer, $600; J. A. Maiurie,
I $-100; Patrick & $500; S. MeClurkan,
representing insurance eximpany,, $2,200;" G.
McLean, Jr., 51,500; Thos. Collins, $•132.
Some of the notes in possession of the
i banks had been sent in for collection, and
1' of •course they will escape to that extent,
j. but others were discounted by them, and
' to their loss. '

A petition had been filed: by- Mr. G. S.
Head in the U. S. District Court, for th§ pur
pose of forcing Johnston into bankrupteV,
and thus securing an equal . division of his
property among his creditors. The peti
tioner claims that Johnston is indebted to
him to - the amount of $2,000 on a promisso
ry note, given for value received, dated
ISovernber 12th, 1867, and payable, two
months.after date at the Citizens National
Rank, upon which the names of Robert
Tohnston-and D. Gilmore, as well as that of
Mr. Head, appear. as endorsers. The alleged
act pf bankruptcy set forth in the petition
is the confession of judgment to Messrs.
McClean and .Collins, and. his departure
from the. State. A hearing on the rule,w,lll
be had next Wednesday. , An information
charging him with forgery has been made
by Mr. S. M'Clurkan, but as ho did not deem
it proper to leave his address, he may es
cape arrest. ' •

Last night the prOprietress of an aspiring

hood of the Union Depot, becoming weary
of watching for a wholesale or retail pur- I
chaser of pies or bologna, took:an innocent 1
nap, closing her eyes to all the cares and

a fellow with more style than conscience I
and not much of either, In he went for I
the money drawer and out he came with
eighteen dollars, nearly a' year's gross earn
ings

escape and is now luxtiriating on his ill
gotten gains, while the sleeping owner is
rubbing her eyes to realize the 'immensity

neighborhood. The Doctor's grand secret
of success rinfy be summed up -in very few
words.. He advertised liberally but made
no representation 'to' deceive readers, nor
held out inducements, which he.could not
keep - good, to those who were attracted to
his rooms. He performs all work satisfac
torily, leaving nothing quit his laboratory
that will not sustain and increase its high
reputation. He promptly introduces into
use all the really valuable discoveries made
lin the scientific world and pertaining to the
t' dental art. Other reasons , might be as-
signed
. for the great popularity of Dr.
Spencer's dental depot, but our readers are
already sufficiently acquainted with its
merits. Teeth aro here manufactured, a
large force of skilled artists being constant-
ly employed in the steam dentia factory
and are fitted in the most skillful manner
to the mouth to be supplied. Plugging,
extracting, filing, adjusting Mid all other
work pertaining to the teeth is attended to
in; the most satisfactory manner, and at the
most reasonable rates. Remember the

ago hay son Willie commenced showing
syiniktonis of .Catarrh of the Head, which
continued to, grow worse until his system
was so debilitated as to preclude an active
enjoyment of the. sports of childhood or
pursue any system of study, or attend at
school, and at times was entirely prostrated
with lingering fever—sonie times, for weeks
together, With a constant manifestation of
the symptoms Of the disease, such as a con-:
stant hacking 7 nostril discharges, &c.,.irri
tation of the throat, &c:, causing nausea.
All the usual appliances ;And treatment of
physicians, &c., had failed to afford relief,
until you were applied to during your pro
fessional visit at Titusville last winter, when
he began to improve inimediately after
commencing your treatment, and continued
to improve until now he enjoys a good state
of 'health, and is able to participate in the
