Geary to the Legislature shoWs that the ordinary receipts of the State Treasury for the year ending November 80, 1871, were $6,489,234.• 95, and from 11. B. Government for War Claims, $708,710.07. The disbursements, in cluding $2,220,224.59 loans redeemed, were $7,024,079.85; leaving a balance of $1,476,- 808.59 In the Treasury. The public debt is $28,980,071.78 against $31,111,661.00 at the close of the last year. The Commissioner of the Sinking Fund has $9,400,000, on hand, which, with the balance in the Treasury, leavestho actual indebtedness of the Com monwealth at $18,108,263.14. In 1866 the total Indebtedness of the Commonwealth was $87,704,409.77. The Governor gives a very' satisfactory ac count of the transactions of George 0. Evans. the main facts of which have already been published and show that Mr. Evans' manage ment of the interests of the State have been a heavy gain to the State Treasury. The Gov ernor asks the Legislature to repeal the "sup plement to the Milford and Matatnoras Rail road Company," which job takes $lO,OOO out of the State Treasury in favor of the New York and Erie 'Railroad Company. In refer' ing to the Common School system he says at least seventy-five thousand of the children of the State attend no schools, and that this may be obviated by compelling attendance or holding out inducements to those having charge of eldl dren to give them a reasonable time at school. Re also recommends a more liberal policy in compensating teachers, that the highest ordi r of talent may be secured. Ills arguments in fa vor of the State taking in charge the tduc.tlion of the children are very forcible. The National Guard of the State is in a most Satisfactory condition. The services of a part of the militia at Scranton arc referred to in complimentary terms. The cost of the expedi tion was $37,867.86. On account of the lack of unlforMity in Sheriffs' election proclama tions, he recommends the Legislature to au thorize the Secretary of the Commonwealth or Attorney General to prepare a copy tbr all the counties. Ile sets forth the necessity for compulsory vaccination. During the past six months 1018 lives have been sacrificed to small-pox in Philadelphia, which could have been preserved by vaccination. The Governor refers in fitting terms to the death of Senator-elect Connell, Auditor-Gen eral-elect Stanton, and Representative-elect J. W. Dickerson, from the Bedford die riot. In his general remarks the Governor says a law should be passed requiring saving fund institutions to publish statements of their busi ness transactions and financial condition. lie calls attention to the establishment of an insur ance department,the protection and multiplica tion of our fisheries, and the establishment of a bureau of statistics. -- At present we are igno rant of the extent of our oil, salt,coal and iron fields, and the amounts of their production, and the same may be said of all our mining, manufactures, ' agricultural and commercial productions. Ills remarks upon the subject of a Protective Tariff do honor to a wise statesman and a true Pennsylvanian, which we shall publish to-morrow. The pardon report shows that sixty pardons were granted during 1871, of which none were for Lehigh. Since the Governor tans been in office the yearly average of pardons has be. n 71, a lower average in proportion to popula tion than udder any other Governor except. Pollock. • HARRISBURG YESTERDAY. Yesterday was a day looked forward to wit mingled feelings of anxiety and hope by the people of Pennsylvania. The Legislature which assembled at Harrisburg is vested with great powers for good or evil, and the eat ;els( of them for the right, and that alone, is :; un animous demand. So far as we eat; judge from the opening scenes and ineid; nts, the derision promises to be a great improvement over its predecessors. The reform thunder has even purified the atmosphere of Harris burg. There was less contention than usual over the minor Mikes, and those selected to 811 them were of a better class than formerly. The air, too, is filled with no rumors of "jobs" co: mysterious cliques and combinations. The sky, with the exception of the struggle in the Senate, was wholly clear, and that once ever, there ought to be naught but plain sailing and practical work. The House promptly organized by the elec- tion of Hon. \V ninon Elliott,of Philadelphia,as Speaker, anti the usual number of officers, all Republicans. Mr. Elliott, who hits already served two sessions with. credit to himself and his intelligent constituency, and who has, had much experience In public affairs, on taking the chair made a neat address thanking his fellow-members for the holior. He will make an able and popular presiding officer. Beyond the reference of a contested seat' front Warren County to a committee, and the passage 01 fi resolution instrudting the Speaker to appoint additional committees on Congressional ap portionment and constitutional reform, noth- lag was accomplished. • The Senate also convened, but did not pro ceed with its business so harmoniously. Speaker Brodhead, as was expected, occupied the chair and called the members to order: The returns of the late election were rend, and Immediately after that announcing the result in the Fourth district had been finished, Mr. Allen arose and presented the report of the Board of Health of Phila., aunouncleg the death of Mr. Connell. The paper was not re ceived at the time, and the reading was pro ceeded with. After it had been concluded Mr. Brodhead said : "Satisfactory evidence of the death of Senator Connell having been received, a writ of election to fill the vacancy will this day •be issued." The Senate then adjourned. Subsequently the Speaker issued s writ of election to fill the vacancy, fixing the tiOth of January as the day. The result of this action, both parties re maining obstinate, would be to postpone any organization until alter the 30th inst., when the new Senator • will take his seat. As a means of averting this long lock, and of facilitating legislation, committees were op pointed on either side to effect a compromise. Up to the hour our dispatches closed no result had been reached. 'l•he Republicans refusing to concede any of the officers of the Demo crats, the latter now ask as a bribe the amend ment of the registry law of this city so as to remove the appointment of election officers from the majoilty of the Board to Aldermen. There is a disposition on the part of the Re publicans to concede this, and the SMiate may to-day perfect au organization of Republican officers. The Governor's meolage'llnil the rcpml6 Of the heads of the eeveral departments ore all prepared, and their preeentation only awaits organization.--Presp. THE Chamhersburg Repository hoists the.

It is not necesslry to use a whole column to convince the people of Pennsylvania that the General wad make a popular candidate and an able Governor. COL. JIM FIES.'II smallpox dodge was a good one for the time being and saved him' from appearing before the Court, but he spell ed the value of his invention by appearing in public, unscabbed, as soon as the suit was settled. Succeeding criminals will not be likely, therefore, to follow Jim's example. Tnic.election for Speaker of the Stole Sen. ate took place yesterday,the Democrats direct ing Dlr. Buckalewlo cast his vote fur the Re publican candidate. The vote stood James S. Ratan, Republican, 17 ; Albert G. Broadhead,' Democrat, EL Dir.. Rutan was swr ro in, after which the new Senators were either sworn or affirmed. Chief Clerk Ziegler, Democrat, tendered his resignation. Ballotting then commenced for Clerk, the Republicans voting for, Ilemersly and the Democrats for Ziegler, After four ballots, nochoice having been made, Mr. Billiiigfelt effered a resolution requesting Mr. Ziegler to perform the duties . of Clerk UM until a successor be chosen. A. motion was made to substitute the name ot Mr. limnersly, but the motion not carrying, Mr. Billingfelt withdrew his motion and the Senate adjourn ed until today without effecting a further or ganization. TA H IF F, While the Democratic papers excuse their advocacy of Free Trade upon tic plea that sumo Republicans are not Tariff men, it Is a pleasure to have nn opportunity to refer to the utterances of leading officials upon this sub ject, which reflect the views of the party which elected them to oilier. President Grant has given uncontrovertible reasons why a Protect live Tariff is absolutely necessary to the pros. perity of the country, and in his annual mes sage Governor Geary secs the importance of battling against the fforts of the Free Traders to close up our manufactories: The Governor says : " The obnoxious doctrine of frce•trade is again raising its hydra-head with a view to destroy, as far as possible, some of the most important interests of the State and nation ; but it is hoped and ex peeled that our Senators and Representatives in Congress will interpose in solid phalanx between its ad vocatcsand the accomplishment - of their designs. " My opinions, heretofore so fully and freely expressed in relation to a tariff protective of our products and manufactures, and especially Fall, coal, iron and steel, remain not only unchanged, but are greatly strengthened by reflection 'and observation. Any attempt to reduce the protection now alfi.rded cannot but be regarded as an effort to benefit foreign interests at the expense of our How! Indus tries, and to place our toilers on a par with the labor of foreign countries, which must eventuate in the destruction of the very influences which have, since the win., made us so prosperous a people, and laid the Mii. dation of such great individual and national wealth. Theavailable teachings of experience on this important subject should not be nn heeded, and legislation'on it should be for the welfare of the people and the nation. It should unhesitatingly protect American labor, main tain its compensation, hold out othlrell3l - 111ti to capitalists for inveslment, give the prmlucer a home market, and afford the anthill st °ppm.. tan ny for the development of the unbounded rCE4OIII - CeB of the country, and not for the bene. fit of those who are industriously endeavoring to lure our capitalists to financial ruin, and bring about the impoverishment of our me chanics and eidnens who are now prosperously engaged In all branches of trade and industry." The Burly Winter Iu the West The last half of November, and the whole of DeCeMber have been exceptionally severe in wintryncss .ot the plains beyond the !die sauri river, along the Rocky mountain range and iu its adjoining valleys. In all that time the ground at Denver, on one side, and, we believe, at Nth Lake City also, on the other, has not been free from snow ; and the Pacific railroad, both Kansas and Union, have lost at least half their daily passenger trips. Some times Leif . Imam, have been interrupted tor four or live days, and, though the accounts are not clear, it wind appear that the moun tain ,etion of the Union Pacific road, between Cheyenne tout 04den,has biters closed the most if not all or the time for the last thr«t weeks. The interruption to the freight trains was still more serious; No freight had reached Den ver from the East, by the way of the Union Pacific road, for the :30 days previous to De cember 22‘1. The Kansas Pacific line was more successful, in t h is spect; hot still a large part of the Christmas goods itrthC tkover met - - c tants failed to come to time. Saran Chum proved a cheat to many ~r the young Colora. d ens this season. Perhaps the most svrions results of this early and long visitatitm of winter in that region, will be to the striek-raising interestA that have grown into such enormous proportions there within the last two }ears. heavy .losses are a'rraily reported to many herds that were un• fortunately located, but the full measure of be disastrous consequence . s to this interest,— be they temporary lir purinanent —cannot be told until biter in the season. IfJanuary and February prove open and mild months,—as they are most likely to do in that section,— much of the pre:tent danger to the stock, that has survived the hard experience of the last six wcelisovill be averted and repaired. California has taken her share of this w inter visitation in long and heavy storms of rain, removing all fear of the continuance of the drouth that has so seriously affected her for the last two years. Too at nob of so good a thing as rain, however, brings its evils and losses, only less severs than dr mth, through floods and inundations, the destruction of em bankments and the carrying away pf, Abe sur face soil in many improved localities. "It never rains but it pours," indeed, in Califor nia. It Is a country of extremes and im pulses., and is rarely content to be moderate in anything. Crvilizalidn, thus far, does not temper her passions and her fervid action. She "goes by the head," us if she had been drinking her own v, ioe, and almost needs to be put in conunisAion or under guardianship, like an unruly youth or u rebelhomf colon.). THE complaint of the London Advertiser, whose hatred of the United States is of the most violent character, that in the formation of the treaty of Washingt m the English Commissioners had been completely outwit ted—taken in connection with the as , ertion of General Butler, whose enmity toward Eng• land is of an t (pally bitter kind, that in the same matter the United States had been bound hand and tost-perhaps,better than anything else indicates the general fairnesi and impar• tiality of that important treaty. Buller de clares that war would be leso injurious to the United States than a settlement of the claims between the two countries, nut' the Advertis'er 'clamors for the withdrawal of the agreement n the ground that it is an insult to England. This is pretty gond evidence that it embrace§ the golden mean of justice, and will probably cause it to be still more highly regarded by the model atennd sensible people alike of this country and of that.

THE PEN NSVEVANI In 1.866 a hole was cut In the Columbia &tin, and In 1867 that hole was assisted by a 'french which was caused by 'the ice, and that per mitted the shad In large numbers to pass Into the reach between there and the next dam above. About that time alaw was passed pre venting fishing within hair a mile of the hole, and in consequence more fish went through the aperture than would otherwise have been the case. In 1808; "in cousequence of local agitation, Outdistance from the dam for the "fish ladder" is as reduced front halls mile to that of two hundred yards. Henee, afterwards, the as cent of fish was not as great as in 1808. But 'notwithstanding this and the large increase is shad fishing in the Susquehanna, due evi dently to the rfiltunbla dam openings and the tact that shad generidly returnito the'r place of spawning in from thrt e to four years, the grand increase took place in 1870, as had been prophesied by experts. Five shad were then caught in the vicinity of the Columbia dam to every one taken there during the previous thirty years. This experience corresponded with that of Connecticut, where in 1807 8 vast numbers of fish were propagated in the Con necticut river fisheries, and in 1971 these shad returned to the Connecticut river as "adults" and in greater numbers than had ever been known for seventy gems previously. Titus the experiment of opening the dams to the ac cess of anadramons fishes was a success in the Connecticut and likewise in the Susquehanna —in the first instance by artificial and in the second by natural propagation. It has been discovered that fish baskets anti _extravagant fishing—the sort of fishing that destroys vast •numbers of the smaller fry :for the sake of taking the adults—have proved a greater cause of the deterioration of our in. land fisheries titan the navigation dams which have been erected in the river. Accordingly here. has been a strung fight against this sys tem of fishing for the last four years. Preju dice seas encounterel, of course; a natural disbelief of new•fangled notions. But the beneficial results of the more recent leglsla• thin on the subject ate already apparent.. Even in this neighborhood the tribes that had dis appeared during the last thirty years—yellow perch and rock bass—were caught in appree'a• hie numbers during the last S,:1:31011. catch of shad in the neighborhood of Cohan- Ilia and ;bout the dant there was four times' greatet than for many years before, and bud It not been for the concession of limit made to the fisherman in the neighborhood of the Comm.l gin 1111111 a respectable catch might have been reported in the reach immediately above that dam. In addition to this t e enterprise-of the introduction of new species has been inaugu rated. Private enterprise in Pennsylvania placed in the Susquehanna some two or three hundred black bast, and these have multi plied to such an extent that it is very rare to ca d. a nut now in the titer, in that neighbor. hood, without taking of the progeny' of these ne.e t t that vicinity.

MURDER OF FI'SK A COWARD-I' ASSASSINATION Jealousy and Hatred the Cause. A startling tra2edy occurred nt the Grand Central Ilotel, New York on Saturday after noon, In which Col. James Fisk, Jr.,. was tint victim of a cowardly assasination nt the hands t.f Edward S. Stokes, who has been prominent in the Fisk—Mu nsfitdd affair. At ft o'clock Col. Fisk drove up inn Carling , to the ladies' door of the hotel. Stt Aping across the pavement he passed throned] the outer door of the hotel, When he all Lie so be spoke to John Redmond, the porter on ditty at the door, ask ing hint if Mrs. MOSS Wait in. Redmond re plied that she was not, hut be believed her daulliter was in her grandmother's room. Fisk then Said, " Tell her I tun here ;'' but he slatted up the stairs before the porter. Up seven steps from tic street there is a small landing. Reaching this Fisk happened to glance upward, and there 871 W the imperturba ble, well-dressed man, whom be instantly e,Taized as Edward S. Stokes, standing, at the head of the stairs. Thls man lad his right arm resting on the standard at the head of the stairs, ,tut Fisk noticed that there was some th.ng in.the right hand. Ilefore the victim could see that this something was a pistol without a word having been uttered by either of the men, Stokes, seeming to take deliberate aim, fired. Fisk fell upon the landing, utter in; the :ample exclamation " Oh !" but Imme diately got upon his feet again ; and as he did so, Stokes tired again. The first shot had taken elyect in hits at ; the second crush ed through the fleshy part of the left arm, above the elbow. Then he staggered, turned as if to take refuge in flight, and, partly OW ing, 4 rcaahml the bottom of the dolor, whore he fell. Aft( r firing the second shot, Stokes paused for a single Instant, as If to look upon his victim nod then turned and maid leisurely away, reaching the door of the ladies' parlor a few paces distant from the head of the stairs, lie stepPed inside and threw his still smoking and blackened Derringer pistol upon the sofa. He instantly stepped back into the corridor, and, walking more hurriedly, passed to and down the grand stairway, which leads up front the main hall and ulllce of. the hotel. Just as he gained the hall and was opposite he office, headed to the rear entrance, as If seeking to escape into Mercer street, the alarm Wits raised that a man had been shot upstairs. Hearing this, Stokes started upon a run, and Mr. Powers, the proprietor of the hotel, who was behind the desk of the office, cried out, g'Stop that man?" Just as he had reached tl a entrance to the barber-shop of the house, and when he was only a heir steps distant from the door opening, Into Mere( r street, Stokes slipped and fell. Before he could re -1116 feet Inn was seized by some of the men attached to the betel, who were In pursuit of and was led back to the porter'a bench at the toot of the gram' stairway, where he was compelled to sit down, and where he was care fully guarded by lila captors until the arrival of the police. Fisk died at 10:45, Sunday night, surround• ed by his wife, father and loather and friends, and the agOny of his wife and the mourning of his father and mother were heartrending. It is well known that a feeling of hatred ex isted between Fisk and Stokes, arising In the former's cos,, from jealousy caused by the af fectionate manner in which Stokes was treated by the celebrated Helen J. Mansfield. That lady refusing the request which was made by Colonel Fisk to illseard Stokes, Fisk would take every opportunity , to outwit Ills sucoesa• ful rival, who, finding himself triumphed over in all business transactions and suits at law, harbored a feeling equal in bate to that of his arrogant tormentor, which feeling reached the climax in consequeoce of Judge Brady's ad verse decision on Friday, touching the publi cation of the Fisk-Mansfield lovedetters; the humiliating cross-examination ho, and Mrs. , Mansfield were subjected to on Saturday, and the rumor that Fisk had indicted him for black-mall. This was followed with a know'. edge that a blotch-warrant bad been lasued,,for hia arrest while attending the Yorkville po lice court. The infuriated mart, on becoming acqualuted with this fact, left that place in a perfect frenzy, determined to seek pmeonal l satisfaction for rho wrongs which he fancied he had suffered at the hands of 'Fisk. The fatal cons , (pence of this resolution Is well known, and the man whose cunning and trickery has baffled all rivals is tio more. • PHILADELPHIA Correppondence of the Chronicle. • PHILADELPHIA, .Taauary 6.--No OHO likes to have his name written upon tits fool's cap, and handed down for the benefit of posterly attached to such an ornament. Public officers are no exception to this rule. When their administration is completed theywaa the future developments of praise or censure. A change has taken place in the municipal Gov. eminent of this city, Hon. D. M. Fox has re tired into private life. His successor, Hon, NVllliam Stokley, has commenced his duties by a thorough purification of the offices. The ex. Mayor, as an officer, was undoubtedly conscientious in the discharge of his duties, and endeavored to promote and further the numerous interests of Philadelphia. He fre quently failed, not from any lack of intellect, but that his judgment was influenced by tho oppressive demands of his constituents and The arbitrary requirements of soulless, shiftless .politicians. The . judicious use of the veto power prevented the execution of plans which, If adopted, would have produced incalculable injury. He participated largely in the organi zation of "The Paid Fire Department." Had he obeyed the private instructions of his party, the benefits thus far attained would never have resulted. - Admitting that it coats nearly half a million of dollars to support it, granting that its a iliciency is not as marked as itshould be, the future will demonstrate its value, si lence the slanders of Its enemies and more than satisfy the sanguine expectations of its friends. He has been censured by the press again and again in the selection of police, of ficers. There were a Spartan few who faith fully performed their duty and who deserve and have received the approbation of laW• abiding citizens, but the remnant have forfeited very amiable trait, and are not worthy , of honorable mention in a single particular. He carries with him in his retirement the respect and esteem of the prominent men of both parties. If his successor is honorable and im partial, our city Morals must of necessity Im prove. If on the other hand he becomes a mere tool in the hands of unprincipled dema gogues, wen ill all suffer, and only exchange a greater evil for a less. On Wednesday night the Academy was packed from floor to ceiling to witness the debut of Wachtel, the great European tenor, in the opera of " Les Huguenots.

I glanced from the paper I Nl , llB reading and met the smiling regard-of a genialdnolting gentleman In the prime of life. " It is not, air." "With your permission, then," ashe seated himself beside me. The train had already started, and presently the conductor made his appearance collecting the tickets. Reaching us, he detached the ap propriate coupons from our tickets, handing back the remainder with the usual eitecks.'t " Pardon me," said any companion, " bi I perceive you place your ticket in your Wa let." " Yes." " It is unwise, twinkle." " Why do you consider it so r I Inquired, with curiosity, returning the wallet to my' pocket "Suppose through earelcusnesg, or we may say accident, your, wallet le lost—your pocket may be picked, for Instance." 16 Yes." "Your money and your ticket are both gone. Probably you do not appreciate the manifold heauties of such a position. I do hot think it possible eztcept by experteneer" "It would certainly be an undirslrable Bit. nation. I can see that clearly enough. Par don the question naturally suggested—wore you ever so placed?" "Once; only once." " How is that ?" "You wish to profit by my experience ? Well, don't lmow tlipt T mind telling you the story. It may serve to amuseyou, ifuotb. lag Inure . . It occurred a number of years ego, and no consequence. I bad taken the early express train, and being somewhat tired and altogether sleepy, had stretched myself upon a seat for as comfortable a nap us circumstances would permit. I slept soundly, for I could In those days sleep well almost anywhere, and did not awaken until the conductor came for my ticket. The essential piece •or pastchnsril could not be found. I was positive I had purchased a ticket ; indeed, I remembered distinctly having shown It to the baggage clerk at the time ofcheeking my trunk. Tile conductor grew impatient, passed to !'ie other end of the ear one returned to me, 1 had mode the discovery that my pocket-book had Been picked, and In proof of my story showed him my baggage check. It was useless. If you have travelled much you are aware that a virtuous conductor takes no man's word; in fact, all wen have designs upon the company's dividends eicepthlmself- It was periectiy natural, therefore, that the faithful steward in question should say : "The check is all right ; but how do I know that It bolmus to you ? I will take the money for your fare or atop the train and put you off, Just as you choose." What could Ido ? Protestations amounted to nothing, And my fellow passengers with the usual tendency of humanity to trample upon a fallen man, showed clearly by their looksand expressions they thought me a sneak ing rogue, who would steal a passage If ho could. They paid money, why should not I pay mine? Few men would ever see heaven if judgment was rendered by la jury—exeept themselves. My search for the lost ticket had brought to light about a dollar and eighty cents. This I told the conductor was every cent I had about me. lie said It was about fifty cents short of the usual fare to Lauderdale city, but that he would pass me through for it rather than stop the train. From Lauderdale, a city of much importance, I could write to my partner for money. It would certainly be as well as to tramp tee or twelve miles back to the city I had left, and where I should be no better off, being equally a stranger there. In due time I found myself at Lauderdale, went to the best hob 1, telegraphed for money, and wrote an explanatory letter to my part. oer. This business attended to, I sailed out to see what sort of a place Lauderdale city might be. There was nothing to do but mouse myself as best I could until the money should come ; so I determined to make the must of my voluntary holiday. As I strolled leisurely up the main street n newsboy darted oat of a paper office, crying : 'Daily Banner—extra edition--all about the murder—great accident on the E—road,' etc., etc. 'Have an extra?' I look the sheet and thrust my hand in my pocket fir the money without a moment's thought. You may imagine my feelings when compelled to return that two penny bit of pa• per to the boy, with the muttered excuse that I had no change, and the utter contemptuous expression on the boy's face as he received it. I immediately stepped into the office of the Daily Banner and wrote a paragraph of my recent mishap, taking care to make it as amusing as possible. When complete, I handed it to the clerk. He read it, laughed, and took it into the private office. Coining back a few minutes after, he told the hook keeper to give me fifty cents. It was not much, but more than 1 expected: Well, I continued my walk until I finally reached the end of the street which terminates at the S— river ; here spanned by a long' covered bridge. I crossed the bridge and was surpris ed to see that I would be required to pay toll. A. young girl came up to the door of the little office as I stepped up and inquired how much I should pay, drawing forth my solitary shin plaster. Oh, mild she, with a smile and a slight blush we do not charge ministers anything. It was not a bad Joke but I suppressed the laugh that rose to my lips, and thanking her for the consideration shown to the clergy, I turned about and retraced my steps to the hotel, not without slight twinges of conscience for allowing the mistake to pass and taking the advantage of it. My first duty next morning was to seek some knight of the razor.. I had noticed a pleasant little shop at no great distance from the hotel in my walk the previous day. Thinking that I should do no better by looking further, I repaired to that. There was in attendance a buy about twelve years of age, who stated that his father had gone to a neighboring city, and would not return before noon. Without any hesitation I asked for the loan of a razor, and pre ceeded to operate on myself. While thus occupied, the customers began to present themselves, expressing great dissatisfaction on learning how matters stood. Now, although I am a proud man, I am not, thank God, cursed with that species of vanity which pre vents a inan's doing certain kinds of honest I ;bur simply because they are not genteel. Here was an opportunity afforded me to at least earn the price of my breakfast. I took advan tage of it. Told the first man who entered after I had completed shaving myself I would shave; hint, I did so. In fact, I did quite a brisk busi ness for a couple of hours, and, if any of the ups fortunate individuals who came under my hand had any doubt of any fitness for the business they certainly expressed none. At the expira tion of this time I began to think I had done sufficient, and feeling rather hungry, having ud breakfast, I divided the proceed.; with the boy and prepared to return to my hotel. But I was not done yet. As I was brushing my hat a young dandified specimen of humanity came in. Resolved that he should be the last I went to work upon him. When he came to pay me I was, to say the least, somewhat sur• prised to see him cluliberately produce my own pocketbook—the WIC I had loot. stand ing on no ceremony, I snatched It front his hand, and demanded In no gentle tone how it acme in his possession. Without stopping to reply other than by r. Volley of imprecations, as lie reached the door, he tumbled rather than ran down the stairs into the street. Waiting for neither hat nor coat, I foil pocket-book ILI my hand. We measured off considerble ground in a short pace of time. On, on. It was an excitin4 chase. Men, boys and dogs joined the pur suit ; the cries of stop t. 1.1 1. grow ing louder anti increasing. What an uproar there was. Sud denly came a flash of light, sharp and vivid f.tcun Instant, then utter darkness. A police. man , mistaking me for the thief, Ilan gent ly tapped me upon the head, as their custom is, and with the usual result, the thief escaped, and I the victim, was apprehended. My ap pearance told heavily against me; but my story being fully corroborated by the boy at thew ber-shop, I was released. Upon examining Sip wallet I found my own money intact, end about one hundred and thirty dollars besides. That is all the story. "Not a bad speculation after all," said I, as he concluded. DELTA "Well, petit aps s No, it was not; but still my advice bolds good. Never- pique a railway tioket inyour wallet:', The colored residents ofOladi ton and Ma eoupin counties, Illinois, it is said, are making extensive preparations for emigrating to the States bordering on the Lower Mississippi and Gulf of Mexico. These emigrants are thrifty, industrious, free-born Africans, and are farm ers, mechanics and laborers. They are going with their families to the South ; intending to make that region their borne. This movement has not been undertaken without due deliber ation and examination, as some of the most intelligent and trustworthy of the colored peo ple were sent down South for the express pur pose of ascertaining the exact condition of affairs, and the inducements to emigration. On a farm at Ogdepaburg i New York,owned by one A.xtell, a two year old 'Ayrshire bud and a yearling ram recently fought a desperate battle, which continued two days at short in• tervals. In the last round the bull was knocked completely out of time and fell dead, having succumbed. to the fearful butting of h's lighter but more active assailant. At first only four of the lads were condemn ed to death at Havana, but the court coosid. cred that number too small, rind It was deter mined to draw four more by lot. It so hap pened that the two Bermudez brothers were drawn. One of the Judges, Apolinar del Rato, exclaimed : "This is horrible : How can we snatch two sons away from one mother ?" and one of the Bermudez brothers was condemned to death; the other to the chain gang. young Verdugo, who was shot, was with his mother at the church of Nostra Senora del Filar when the supposed desecration of the grave took place, and another victim, the little fellow Llm ray Medina, was with his family at 3latanzes.
