A SwiNnt,rinDoß —The country is again
being flooded with circulars, headed " Arthur De-
William, hank note printer, (late in the Treasury
Department), No. i Broadway, New York,"who
pretends to hay, " Immense quantities of green
backs on hand," and further asserts that " the
money Is not counterfeit, but the real, genuine
art fete,"—that " an over isine In the Treasury De
partment of many millions placed the large
amounts of money in the hands of the printers, and
that is the reason why It Is oir,red so cheaply."
The man's instructions to remit by express only,
and not through the mills, is another proof of his
villainous enterprise. Let all those who desire to
keep out of trouble give these counterfeiters and
swindlers a wide berth, and thereby save their
money as well as their reputation.

an employe of the Lehigh. Valley Railroad Com—
pany, met with a fatal accident, at Geiseinger's
farm, under the following peculiar circumstance° :
.A number of employes on the track were coming
up the road on a hand car. The car was not of
sufficient capacity to carry the whole number,
and therefore boards were laid across from front
to rear. At Geissinger's some of the men jumped
oil while the ear was running. This caused the
boards in tilt downwards In front, which threw
Stoltz and ho was struck by the crank be was
turning and thrown in front of the !hr, which
passed over him, crushing him terribly. lie was
picked up and a wagon procured to carry him
home, but he died as soon as placed in the vehicle.
Lie resided on the Mountalv, between Bouth.Buth—
lehem and the Hellertown road. • He leaves a wife
and five children. Coroner Romig held an in—
quest and the jury returned a verdict of acciddntal
death, but censuring the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company for not providing their bands with
proper and sufficient facilities for transportation.
THE GALAXY.—Tito June number opens
with a timely article by Justin McCarthy on "Sir
Charles Mike and the English Republicans," in
which that clever essayist draws a spirited picture
of the leading Republicans of England. Ivan Tar
genief's story called " Faust" is concluded. It
displays the beet characteristics of the great Rue
611in novelist. General Custer continues hie series,
" My Life on the Plains," writing with a direct
ness and simplicity which well becomes the dash
ing cavalryman. "The Woman Mort ment In
Wyoming" is by Gen. Edward M. Lee,who held a
position in the young Territory when the franchise
was given to women, and hence is able to write of
the experiment from Intimate personal knowledge.
" Brahmins and Swells," by a writer whose name
Is not given, ditcusses with ability and sharpness
certain featut es of our social life, the term "Brah
min" being used to designate the Intellectual ele
ment of society, and '• Swell" the merely fashion
able element. Albert Rhodes, whose previous
articles on the characteristics of foreign people
have attracted much attention, writes this month
of " The English at Home." "Modern Languages
In the American College" Is a thoughtful essay on
a subject which Is just now engaging the Interest
of every one who studies our college system. Of
stories the June Galaxy contalos,bealdes "Faust,"
already mentioned, more chapters of "The Ens
tare Diamonds," A Case of Conscience," by Ella
Williams, and "The Cave of the Winds," by Ma
ria Louisa Pool. The poetry of the number Is by
Nora Perry, Miss Woolson, and Mrs. Ritter. The
editorial department, as usual,discusses literature,
science, art, politics, and society, and the Club
Room adds humor and pathos.

He answered "You know," at the same time
tiring a pistol, the shot striking Father McKee
in the erns. The ball was extracted by Drs.
Yoder and Hornbeck. The ball lodged
against the hone and when extracted was
flattened out.
Pendergast at once ran out and was followed
by the stable boy who called " the Priest Is
shot." A crowd immediately started In pur
suit and following biro up Bridge street, and
down Elowertown Road, when they lost sight
of him. Coming to the residence of G inther
Schlauch, the sexton of the Presbyterian
Church, they asked " where did that man go
to ?" Mr. Schlauch having just returned from
his duties at the Church, uad just entered the
house, and the boy said " In there.!'

The Way of the World, a novel, by WlHaim T.
Adams, (Oliver Optic), has Just bees published
by Lee & Shepard,Hoston. The wide-spread pop
ularlty.of Oliver Optic is sufficient to create a de
mand for any work that he may write, and In the
present volume his friends will he rewarded with
a production of rare skill and ingennity, and re
markable power. John Hungerford, a mfltionnatrs
of Ba.timore, becomes aged, dies childless, and
leaves three millions to his only nephew, a poor,
well-educated, moral, respectable and h igh-toned
young man, residing In a sea-port village In one
of the Eastern States. If the money had been left
unconditionally, this novel would not have been
*ritten, but John Hungorford's one desire unful
filled was an heir to carry his name through future
genera:lona and the condition of his cephew In
heriting the three millions was that, at the age of
thirty, he should have a legal male child bearing
the name of John Hungerford. To an ordinary
person the carrying out pf the desires of the old
gentleman would hdvo been no difficult matter,
but to a person of the high moral character and
refined, sensitive feeling of the hero of this novel, -
there arose such obstacles that beset his path w ith
almost countless miseries. These were the foun
dation, we may say, of a series of thrilling events
which formed the material for this absorbing
novel. The characters are not In the least exag
gerated,thoup some of them are by no means com
mon. The thread of the novel Is skillfully handled
and the reader kept In the highest state of anxious
expectancy throughout. While the author has
given great power to the manner of telling hie
story, he has not failed to give to his novel a moral
influence which no one can resist and by which
no one can help being taught that " The Way of
the Word" Is not always the divine way, though
it is too often'. blindly followed by many high
toned and well-meaning Christians. The price of
this work is $2 00.
Bethlehem Correspondence
BETEILEUEM, PA., May 27th, 1872
The Progress has a tremendmis slasher on
the Health Committee of South Bethlehem in
regard to small pox on that side of the river,
where there are more cases now than at any
previ.ms time. lfthe e people are not careful
they will keep the disease for another'year.
The old town has been free for a considerable
time.
The shade trees on the sidewalks, for whic
this place is eo celebrated, are becoming very
beautiful and agreeable since the late rain.
Fruit trees, of which the yards are filled, seem
to be finely laden, but vegetables are scarce,
except what are brought from the city.
The sidewalk on the east side of the New
Street Bridge is being replanked. All the pe
destrhine keep on that side, regardless of the
law to "keep to the right," and the jostles to
which they me rudely exposed. Curb stones
are also partly placed on the south end of the
same. Indeed a gond pavement at' the same
place would not incommode the traveling com
munity while kicking through the dust and
cinders.
A great 100 Is made by amateurs concerning
the rare musical performance of Dr. Wilcox
on the exquisite new organ of the. Episcopal
Church, Market street, as well as of Prof.
Romig's violin performance at the same time
and place.
There is some lusty grumbling by citizens
In Union street at the change of grade of the
street, which brings their floors below the
street level. We do think that a naturally un•
even place mighuhave Its new streets graded
well, without having exactly one slope of pitch
for an inconvenient distance. Drainage ought
to be the main object of grading, and this can
be obtained without digging at one place a
deep cut, and filling a railroad dump at an•
other, to the expense and infinite annoyance
of persons who built, as they thought, accord
•
log to a given and established grade.
It seems the donkey engine which furnishes
the hydrant water, is again out of keiter.
Main street is still supplied ; the balance had
showers lately, hence they ought to be quirt,
winch they are, until a great conflagration
lays a large portion of the town is ashes.
The Democrats, finding that the Greeley
faction does not draw much countenance from
the Republican Party, are quiet. They, how
ever, begin to shout for Buckalew for Gover•
nor; one spoke of ex mayor F•ix. What has
become of Case if In South B.Allieliem they
had organized Cass clubs. Some vile ma.
'lgnore averred that the projectors were hired
and paid for their services, but that must be a
gruel aspersion on spontaneous 'patriotism.
We have no such politicians here, especially
among the " liberal" Democracy ; and, the
Booth Bethlehem Democrats are peculiarly
tree from any curvilinear gerrymandering.
On Saturday, a fireman named Anthony
Coener, acting for the time as engineer in the
Zinc works, had hie thumb crushed so badly
by the engine that It had to be
O BS amputated.
