WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 20, 184.1
TOONA/1 CyNittt., United States Deputy Marslaltifar
the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, arrived in oar
ty yesterday 'morning, having in custody Gtoaos V.P.
litstriasou, who, it will be recollected, was indicted
by the Grand Jury last October for counterfeiting the
, cntrent coin of the United States, and who fled from our
•city; since when nothing has been beard of him, until
hisawrival in custody of tbe Deputy Marshal, who sue
.ceeded in arresting him in Philadelphia on Wednes
day evening, the 22d. It is thought that a large a
mount a the spurious coin is in circulation throughout
the state.
Henderson is now in prison, to await his trial at the
nextterm of die U. S. Court.
iIOUSUSS STRUCK ST LIORTRING.—We had quite a
heavy rain about noon yesterday, accompanied by
thunder and lightning. The thunder very badly scared
several children and a number of elderly ladies, and
the lightning struck three houses on Wood street. It
first atruck the llat store of Mr. S. Moore, but clane
no damage. It then passed over to Mr. Willord Leon.
ard's Clothing store, broke one of the rafters of the
house, and tore off some of the bricks and shingles. It
also struck and broke the large window of the Look
ing Glass and Print store of Mr. Butch, and passed
down the gas pipe though the building. This was,
fortunately, all the damage sustained.
THIATHIC.—To night those general favorites Mr &
Mra AiLiao, take their benefit; and present such a bill
as must call out all our playgoers. Tobin's excellent
Comedy of the "Honey Moon," (which the ladies
by all means should witness, as it has s moral which
'they might profit by, ), the "Married Rake." and some
superb dancing by BCCXLST. Mr. W. CHAPMAN, a
.comedian of great celebrity, also makes his first a ppear
:ance. Add to this, the strong claims that Mr & Mrs
Ayling have rpon the patrons of the Drama, and there
as an inducement to attend that but rarely presents it
-self. 1 1 9 4 take the responsibility of saying th one i
.sceee between Mrs Ayling & Chapman will be at
worth
:the price of admission.
•t.srarr DRAGOONS.—This new corps made their
first parade yesterday, and rather eclipsed the 87th.
Each member seems to have tasked his ingenuity to
see how grotesque and ridiculous be could appear.
This masquerading, however, is dangerous sport, and
subjects those who indulge in it to the clutches of the
law.
THANICS.-A very tine boat is the Little Ben, and a
very obliging gentleman is her clerk, Mr S. G.
He has again brought us a bundle of Cincinnati a rs.
Olt TEIVIEB.—We understand that this most
astonishing specimen of the Lilliputian race will re
main at the American Hotel for one day longer, and
all our citizens who wish to see the greatest curiosity
of mam•kind should pay him a visit.
The biography of this little great man, or raffle,:
great little man,is amusing curious and pathetic. One
account says that he was nursed in the lap of luxury
and ease, the young prodigy devoted his youth to liter
atureand all the usual emballiehments of a fashionable
young man, fondly anticipating a continuance of the,
prosperity in which his effeminate, humming bird limbs
were cradled. Gifted naturally with excellent parts,
both mental and physical, he resolved to "cut such fan
tastic tricks" that if he did not "make the angels
weep, he would at least produce "considerable sensa
tion" amongst the "yankee girls," acting upon that
cenvenismt rmato, that "must valuable gonds are always
done up in the stnallest parcels." But who, alas! that
has gazed upon that pallid cheek and melancholy fare,
has not noticed the effects of reverse of fortune. Nor is
this all; bat'there, where he had garnered up his rifler_
thins, proved inconstant, and left him the 'wreck' you
see him. Accordingly he resolved to quit the place of
hisbirth, and dissipate his sad reflections. and cure the
deep : wounds his little young heart had received, by
travelling his native country, in which he has since
beenemployed, if not to the resuscitation of his health
to the wonder of all who have seen him.
...ow to keep Butter Sweet for Years.—Arnong the
mass of information furnished by the report of the com
missioner of patents, which is highly interesting to
farniers, is an account of a process, hitherto a secret,
by which butter may be kept for years, fresh and sweet,
in any climate. Moat kinds of wood contain consider
able quantities of pyroligeneous acid, which decom
poses salt in batter kept in such tubs. The linden, or
bass wood, is.the only one which, it appears by careful
experiment, is free from it; others, it is stated, may be
freed froterjr., and thus rendered suitable, by boiling
three or foriebours, well pressed under water. Good
butter is twbe-well churned, and worked and packed
hard ar.d %Ow lha kegs of seasoned white oak; the head
is then put 1* leaving a small hole, into which brine
is poured to ill the vacant space; and of so much im
portance is it deemed, to prevent any had taste, that
the plugs *the hole must not be made of cedar or
pine, but of rtylptess- or bus wood, as otherwise it
wouldbe n'
in After which, these kegs are placed
, d aitet
in a h ' , well plied with brine of full solution
that :bear an egg, which-is then headed up tight
and eltiOtty:.. Thho is the mode pursued in Orange en..
N. Y. and the - butter will keep at sea and in worm
climates, and commands a very high price The ap
pendix: .. to the report contains a letter addressed to
Mr. Ellsworth, by G. Fox, Eaq., a merchant of Hart
ford, Conc., which corroborates the above.—Ball.
