07" A rather suspicious looking individual
was arrested in this place on Friday last and
lodged in jail, supposed to be one of the per
sons who murdered Daniel Jagger, at Iyons
Farms, Essex county, New-Jersey, on the
26th of January last. A brother of the de
ceased, and a Police officer Irotn Newark,
arrived here on Monday last, took the prison
er into custody and departed for Newark,
where he will undergo a trial for the grave
offence laid to his charge. If he has been
charged wrongfully with the above murder,
we hope his innocence may be established.
His situation, while here, was one that, chal
langed pity and commiseration being a stran
ger in a. strange land, without money, and
without friends. The name of the Individual
jsjsupposud to be, John Toole.

OO-Whcn the U. 'S. Rank of Pennsylvania
was chartered, provision was incorporated,
that it wa6 to pay a bonus of $100,000 per
annum to the State, for school purposes.
This bonus stopped when the Bank failed,
some nine or ten years ago ; and the State
has recently obtained judgment against the
Bank for the arrears, with interest. The
Bank appealed ; and on, Thursday last, Chief
Justice Black delivered the opinonofthe Su
preme Court, affirming the decision of the
Courfbelow. The amount of the judgment
is about 1,300,000. This would be a mat
ter of some importance, if the Bank had, any
thing to pay-wilh. , -

Capture of lhe Sea Serpent.
Capt. Charles Scabury, of the ship
Monongahela, of New Bedford, writes to
the New York Tribune,, that .about the
middle of January, he fell in with, and
after a desperate encounter continuing
through some 16 hours, he succeeded in
killing and capturing the far-famed sea
serpent. The Captain gives a graphic
account of the affair, which is very idter
csting, although it probably lacks tli
essential ingredient of .truth. We should
like,to transcribe the wholcstory for the
amusement of the, reader 5 but have ouly
room for a sketch of the dimension of
the " varmint," and the manner in which
he was dissected. Capt. Seabury says :
1 As I am preparing a minute descrip
tion of the Serpent, I will merely give
you a few general point3. Itwas a male ;
the length, 103 feet 7 inches ; 19 feet 1
inch around the neck ; 24 feet 0 inches
around the shoulders; and the largest
part of the body which appeared some
what distended, 49 feet 11 inches. The
head was long and flat, with ridges ; the
bones of the lower jaw separate ; the
tongue had its end like the head of a
heart. The tail ran nearly to a point,
on the end of which was a flat firm car
tilage. The back was black, turning
brown on the sides, then yellow, and on
the center of the belly a narrow white
streak two-thirds of its length ; there
was a so scattered over the body dark
spots. On examining the skin we found,
to our surprise, that the body -was cov
ered with biuhJjci' like that on the whale
but it was only four inches thick: The
oil was clear as water, and burned near
ly as fast as spirits of turpentine.
Wc cut the snake in, but found great
difficulty, and had to fleese him, the body
would not roll, and the blubber was so very
elastic that when stretched twenty feet
by the blocks, it would when cut off,
shrink to five or six feet. We took, in the
head afrightful object, and arc endeavor
ing to preserve it with salt.
Wc have saved the bones, which the
men are not done cleaning yet. In cut
ting open the Serpent we found pieces of
squid and a large black-fish, the flesh of
which dropped from the bones. One of
the Serpent's lungs was three feet longer
than the other. I should have observed
that there were ninety-four teeth in the
'jaws, very sharp, all pointing backward
and as large as one's thumb at the gum.
but firmly set. We found it had two
spout-holes, or spiracles, so it must
breathe like a whale f it also had four
swimming paws, or intimations of one?,
for they were like hard, loose flesh. The
joints of the back were loose, and it
seemed as if when it was swimming it
moyed two ribs and a joint at a time
almost like feet. The muscular move
ment of the Serpent after it' was dead,
made the body look as if it was encircled
by lougitudinal ridges. Wc were near
ly three days in. getting the bones in.
but they are now nearly clean and are
verj" porous and dark colored.
The heart I was enabled to preserve
in liquor and one of his oyes, but the head,
notwithstanding it is cool, begins to emit
an offensive odor, but I am so near the
coast now that I shall hold on to it as' it
is, unless it is really Hke to breed dis
temper. Every man in the 'ship1 partici
pates in my anxiety.

j&Sy Many of our readers, will remem
ber the account published in all the news
, papers, nearly two years ago, of a Cali
fornia emigrant, who crossed the plains
"on foot andalone," with a ichccVxtrf ji"
conveying all his earthly goods, that is,
his provisions, clothes, tools, ilc, in that
humble vehiclcj and outstripping in hii
march numbers who started for the land
of gold with more showy and expensivo
appointments. His name was Erook
niire, and he is an Irishman by birth.
His residence, says Tiie Syracuse Journal,
is at Warren, in Pennsylvania, where he
left a wife and family of children in very
indigent circumstances, when he went
over the Rocky Mountains to "try his
fortune." Brookmire has latelyreturncd
from California, with about 815,000 of
the " dust," all of which he dug and wash
ed out with his own hands. And as it
is very apt to pour when it rains, his
wife receivod legacies during his absence
to the amount of 810,000, falling to
her upon the death of some relations iu
Scotland.
A traveller in the country met a boy
on horse baok, crying with cold. 1 Why
don't you get down and lead the horso !'
