ALLENTOWN, PA., JAN. 10, 1872
GOVERN ows II lESS GE
The Message of Governor John W. 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.

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.

a whole column to convince the people of
Pennsylvania that the General wad make

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•

in this neighborhood the tribes that had dis

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. •

Correppondence of the Chronicle. •
PHILADELPHIA, .Taauary 6.--No OHO likes
to have his name written upon tits fool's cap,

attached to such an ornament. Public officers
are no exception to this rule. When their

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.

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

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.

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

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
