Chip who was evidently laboring under
%drat species of insanity produced by alcoholic drink,
came up Wood street, yesterday afternoon. lie stop
ped at the door of ‘lcCord & King's Hat Store, took
down situ :Cap that was hanging there, tried it on, and
&Ain it was of proper size, he put on his old one a
gain, and with his new aoqUisition in his hand, march
ed a e. if ha was well pleased with his bargain.—
One of tier compositors happened to see the operation,
and informed Mr. McCord, who gave chase, and soon
cap,* the pilferer, and ro-cap-tured the cap.
SUIT PON. Lrazr.--We understand that Mr. Absa
lom Morris, has instituted a suit for libel against J.
W. ;Vitale, editor of the American. The matter fur
which the eat is brought, was published in the Arne - if:
Wins &few days ago. lt was an article relative to. the
Cowan affair, and other matters saidto have occurred
while Mr. M. was Jailor.
,rir The Chronicle is very anxious to bear Mr. VAN
Axangot's opinion of Fourierism; it thinks his feelings
bare undergone a change. and would like to know the
oauees chat have produced such.= effect. Should the
Chronicle persevere in its enquiry, we really think Mr.
Van A. will have to "explain."
COI7STERFEITERS ARRUITD.—The Chronicle
tries a full account of the breaking up of a nest of coin
er* who bad located themselves in Grant street, and
mitre doing a large busineses in the way of manufactur
igg spuriouk small change. The principal of the gang,
named Henderson, escaped from the back part of his
dwelling while the police were searching the other
parts of the house. Three of his associates, however,
were caught, and will undergo as examination to-day.

LOST IN THE WOODS.
Xinpun Chronicle of the 23d gives along and
quite interesting accotat of a child hunt, which took
place early in the month, in Camden township, Canada
West.. 'The child, .a little girl six. years old, was left at
the hotise of her uncle while her mother, a widow went
:to work at another concession about 8 miles distant--
Pining for her, mlther, the little creature set off alone
thniagh the woods to join her, and soon lost her way.
When mi t tsed, her cousins, two lads, set off in search
di , but not.succeeding, others joined in the search,
uatil:finally mare than a hundred were: beatiar, the
woods day and night in the hope of finding her. To
mikes long story short, the child was not found until
.thefifth day, deep in the woods, where she had wander
ed barefipoted and thinly clad but not unseen or tinpro
-teittiti-hy the Father of the fatherless. She was feeble,
`bat stiltable to walk, and much less exhausted than
migljt haye been supposed, having sustained herself
'by-eating Wild plums and gooseberries.
.IVITCHCRAFT REVIVED IN NEW ENGLAND
We observe by the Nassau, N. H., Gazette, that a
- witch Of extraordinary powers and "diabolical propen
sities," has appeared in that neighborhood. The daugh

about 13 years old. has been for mouths strangely af
flicted. her knees drawn to her breast—her head back

in and day out. For months she was unable to semi
'low any thing but a little liquid sucked from a cloth
r.prepared for the purpose. Tho Gazette SIIV.:-..:"lrt the
%opinton of many, an old witch in that neighborhood is

kthat the old hag got into the en tun one morning, and

have what money she wants she will cure him in ono

County commissioner. That my sentiments may not
be misunderstood, either as to political or private
affairs, I make free to say that I have been all my life

As the country is somewhat embarrassed in its finan
cial affairs, and the reduction of salaries of public
officers has received the approbation of large majori
ties of the people, the undersigned would not should
he be so fortunate as to be elected, in any manner at
tempt to resist this salutary reform; should it reach
the office of County Commissioner.
