Two stalwart negro men, glowing with
aspirations for liberty, accompanied tbem.
It was lucky for all that they did. The
daughter, still weak and sore from bcr
reuiblo punishments, broke down on the

3d iiuaLle to walk, aud beroioally bore
her over creek, au.r-swainp, aud river.
That sentinul, divinely stationed in the
heavens, as well to guide the inarrincr o
vor midnight watera as to lead tbc fugi
ii.es from bondago through a more deso
Uto solitude on laud Tbc North Star
till .-hone before them, stiil proved their
jruidc. Tho extraordinary sagacity of
Knty was thown througbout the journey.
Her memory was i-uch that ehe was rible
to recognize the features of the eldvery
bl:tted region through which she passed,
-o that she followed very nearly the same
i cute bho bad taken on the Gr-t stampede.
How direct or circuitous it might be, the

v.a'th ol safety, and might be found so a
aiu. Extraordinary as it may seem,
thih remarkable woman found her wny a
secoud time to the Samaritan who l$cpt
the haymow on tbc Underground road.
She marched bravely up to tho farm
houc in a bliudinf tempest of rain, at
midoibt. A liiiht
was htroammjr
from
an upper window, showing that some one
of the family was about. While the others
sheltered tbemsches uuder the Ice of tbc
building, she knocked timiJly at the door.
It was opened by tho good man of the
house. Ho beckoued bcr in having imme
diately recognized her, and naotioucd her
to a chair which utood in tba hall. Here
the tat down. No persons were visible be
lo, but overhead she heard voices, and
footsteps, and sobbing. There was sore
fickucss and grief in that house. The
daughter who, on a former occasion, had
washed her grandchildren's feet, and an
ointed them and bouud them up was dy
ing. With faltering accents the father
lolu the diipping-fugitive the story of bis
child's sickness and approaching dissolu

ions to the well remembered haymow.
But in his own grief he did not forget
theirs. Dry clothing, warm food, aud
safe sin Iter were all extended to tbem as
aforetime. The good man's daughter
died at daybreak. But that night the

their journey's end iu safety.

A23ankrapt Treasury.
The near approach of the period for
Uougreas to convene awakens inquiry as
to the condition of the national treas
ury, and the probable recommendations
oi tbe President iu refereuco to the
mode to be adopted for providing the sin
ews of ivar. Tbe expenditures of tbe
prcf-eut Administration arc immense,
while the receipts have fallen off alarm
ingly. Just at present Mr. Buchanan has
u gloomy prospect a bead. The Washing
ton correspondent of the Press thus spec
ulates on the state of tbe treasury :
The co-t of the Indian wars, which ray
information leads me to believe bid fair
to continue with much animosity, aud the
expeditions, necessary and unnecessary
of tbe Government, not the least of which
will be tbe expedition to Paraguay, will
swell the expenditures of the Government
cuormoualy dunug tbe coming and other
years. Those who look for economy will
bo grievously disappointed. Put the fig
ure down to one hundred millions of dol
lars per auuum. Where are you going
to raise this revenue I Any statesman
will answer by a tariff, and not by direct
taxation; and if a tariff it must be one to
help our domestic industry. It is true,
Mr. Cobb talks about a tax on tea and
coffee, which would be a piece of insanity
and which even he would scarcely under
take. The whole revenue system .must
of necessity be thoroughly overhauled.
''Independent,'' of the North American
presents the following dark picture i
The official report of the receipts aDd

regarded as the very best of the year.
iu order to appreciate exactly the actual

Condition of the Gouldy Family
New York, November 26.
Mrs. Gouldy has su far recovered from
her wounds as to be considered out of
danger. Mr. Gouldy is also in a fair way
for recovery. One of the wouuds upon
his head has entirely healed, but the oth
ers are ftill very i-ore. Tbe brain pro
trudes to tho size of a walnut, but the at
tending physicians confidently assert that
ho will finally be restored to health. His
side has not yet recovered from the para
lytic shock consequent upon tbe affection
of tbe brain. The galvanic battery is to
be applied, as Boon as the strength of the
patient will admit of it. Mr. Gouldy has
not yet been informed of the suicide of
his son.
Young Nathaniel is convalescent, being
able to sit up in bed and converse.
Charles is also better, but makes slow
progress. The servant girl Murphy is
still in the New York Hospital, where
every attention is paid to her. The doc
tors believe she will recover.
Scarletina and Measles.
Mr. Witt, member of tho Royal College
of Surgeons, has published a pamphlet in
which he states that bicarbonate of am
monia is a specific for tbe cure of scarlet
fever and measles. He cites Dr. Pearl,
of Liverpool, and other practitionewho
tiave never lost a case out of hundreu
since adopting this romedy. Two drachms
of the bicarbonate of ammonia are dis
solved in five ounces of water, and two
tablespoonsfuls of the solution given eve
ry two, three, or four hours, according to
tbe urgency of the symntoma. No acid
drink must be taken, but only water, or
loasi ana water. The system is to be
moved by a dose of calomel if nocearv.
Tbo room mut bo well ventilated, but
the patient protected from the lihtest
cold or draft Gargles should also be em
ployed for clearing the throat.
io ammonia seems to counteract the
poison whioh the scarletina. and also acts
oo tho system by diminishing the frequen
cy and at tho same time increasing the
strength of the pulse. As so many chil
dren die from these diseases in this coun
try, this remedy ought to receive a fair
trial from tbe profession. Scientific A-

Some twenty years aco. then a la"? of
fifteen summers the favorite of her par
ents, who were in easy circumstances,
living in the village of Kreena, (Kras
noyl) Ruisia, near the borders of Poland
a Jewess she mado the acquaintance
of a young man poor but distinguished
for his learning. and piety, named Asbur
Sclizar. He had been educated for a
rabbi and had so greatly won tho osteem
and confidence of the chief rabbi of the
place that he was frequently entrusted
with the administration of the (Jewish)
law in his (the chief rabbi's absence.
Her parents and all partios assenting, she
was married to tho learned young rabbi.
Un their marriage, her parcuts gave
them a marriage portion of about 81,000
on which they iited about a year at Kree
na, wheu the young rabbi suddenly disap
peared and was goue some three years
before she ascertained his whereabouts.
Finally, she heard of him at Danizie in
Prussia, whither she followed him, found
bim, aud returned with him to Serai, in
Poland. Hero they lived together an
other year, during which a child was
born to them. When the child was
some three months old, they weut on a
visit to her mother atKrenna remained
there a few weeks, then started back for
Serai. Arriving at the border, tho rab
bi, it appeared, has provided a passport
only for himself, and intimating to an of
ficer that the lady was none of his, and had
no passport, he was conveyed across the
stream, while she was left behind. Thi
was tho last sho bad seen of her lovinc
spouse until she met him ten days ago in
Ottawa.
But she was unwilling to give him up
Arming, herself with funds and the neces
sary papers, she started iu pursuit. She
found traces of him in various places
throughout Europe, but was never able
to fix his locality until, nfter some three
years, she learned that he had been at
Jerusalem had there been married to a
second wife had in a year left her had
thence been wandering over Europe, as
suming the character of a 'Jerusalemite,,
begging funds for the destitute childreu
of Israel at Jerusalem; that in this way
ho had accumulated considerable money;
that a brother of his second wife had pur
sued him, found him in Germany, and
got a Jewish "writing of divorcement
from him, returned 4iwith it to Jerusalem
and found it defective, followed him a
secoIMl time, and found him in Loudon
where he got another writing that was in
due form. Then all traces of him disap
peared until some two years ago, when
she learned that be had uV.posif.cd some
money with a banker in Hanover, with
orders to forward it whither he should
diroot by letter. The banker finally got
a letter directing him to scud tbo money
to a banker named Israel, in Kalamazoo,
Michigan. Thither she followed, and
there was informed that tho money had
been sent to Seltzar, in care of
Dr. Aabkenazi, at Ottawa, 111. So she
came to Ottawa, and hero, by accident,
met Dr. A. in tbo street, whom ulie recog
nized as her truant lord. Tbe Doctor
mado a fceblo effort to deny his identity,
but soon caved, and showed a disposition
to como to terms.
Her demands wero reasonable enough.
All she asked was a divorcement nnd
some S1.500 in money to enablo her to
return to her parents. Tho Orat the
Doctor was willing to accede to, but be
ing a great miser utterly scouts the last
proposition, to evade which he tried earn
estly to persuade her to live with him a
gain. This she peremptorily declines,
but commences a proceeding in our Cir
cuit Court, for divorce and alimony, and
tor tear her "rabbi" may take loavo of
her agaiu, sho has hiai locked up on a
writ of ne exeat.
Tbe Doctor is known to have some
eight or ten thousand dollars in gold in
his possession, aud could easily discharge
the lady's moderate demand, but is eo
miserly tbat ho may linger a long while
in jail before ho will do it. The lady is
not uuhandsomo, apparently very intelli
gent, aud evidently brim of fall grit.

For tbe last four years there has t3s'
ded in this city, with occasional interval.?
one ,lDr. Askeniza, Hungarian physician"
a small man of ill-favored yet strongly
marked Jewish countenance speaking
English and several other European lan
guages very brokenly, claiming to have
been a surgeon in the Hungarian patriot
army in 1848, and to have come to this
country with Kossuth, but by his vernac
ular betraying that he was originally ei
ther from Poland or Southern Russia.
His mode of life was in the highest degree
parsimonious occupying geuerally a
small, cheap room, which answered a
well for his office as dormitory and kitch
en, in which be prepared bis own meals.
Among his intimates, who were very few
he pussed as a man of great learning,
and by those with whom ho practiced as
a pbpsician or surgeon ho was regarded
as a man of great professional skill.
"Dr. Abkeuazi, Hungarian," was thus
getting along smoothly aud prosperously,
until some ten days ago, when his dream
of repose wavery materially interrupted
by the arrival of a lady in this city, who
claimed to be his lawful, wedded spouse
who made upon him in that character,
certain weighty claims, and preferred a
goinst him certain weighty charges, the
effect of which have been to place the lit
tle "Doctor" in limbo from that day to
this. Sho lady having proved the iden
tity of her man, sought a legal adviser,
in which she made substantially the fol
lowing statement:
The Fastest Time on Record,
Porter's Spirit says the fastest time ev
er made by an American horse was made
by Prioress in her running for tbc late
flesarowitch in England over tho turf of
Nev Market Heath. The distance run
was t?6 miles and a quarter and'twentjf
eight yars, and tbe time in which it was
run was throo minutes and filty seconds,
the mare carryfcu d hundred and sev
en pounds. Thia is at tbo rate of one
minute 45' seconds, or say 1 46 to tbe
mile, two miles at tbe rate of 3 32: and
if carried out at the same rate the Goodwood-cup
distance in 4 25, and four
mile heat in 7 04. The two-mn'o rate
however, having been doue, is that which
may be fairly compared with tho two
mile time performed by American horseB
in this country. The "American Racing
Calendar and Trottiug Record" gives the
time of Hegira, a four-year old, which
ran a two-mile beat at New Orleans in
1 850, with catch weight, iu 3 34A, the
best two-mile time made in this country;
consequently, the 3 32 of Prioress is in
every way better, and deserves to head
tho American Record.

tious its readers against well executed
10 counterfeits upon the bank of Cham-
bersburg. The plate of the counterfeit
cannot be distinguished from the genuine,
especially by persons who are not very
ospert in such matters. The paper of the
counterfeit is white and tho impression
pale. Tbe bills of tbe genuine and coun
terfeit are not of tbe sarao size, but as it
may be inconvenient to institute such
comDarison. a better wav to detect the
spurious is- to observe tho spelling of the

Presidents namo is spelled Jos. Culbfrt-

Accompanying the abovo notice, wojr
had the pleasure of receiving bottle of
wine, and a splendid variety of cakeV '
which, it is ncedelcss to say, was most en
thusiastically discussed and duly appro-
ciated (especially the wine,) by all bands.,,
For a while all typographical carcatwenm
flung to the winds, and our sanctum sane- '
torum resigned to the sway of Backus.
Under the hilarity and inspiration of thotf
raomont our devil was seized with a ma
lieious desire to perpetrate a piece of po- .
etry, but by moral suasiou backed by V
cordwood stick, we iuduced him to aban-!
don lm insane attempt, and to make his. ox-;
it through the back door. He is now doVf
ing as well as could bo expected under
tho circumstances, and has recovered suf-s
ficiently to wish the happy pair, a. lbng
life and any quantity of blessings, to wbtoh
wo respond -amen.
