PA : ':gPatuidatt., fiugitst 1614. sir A youth of sixteen, giving his name as Raymond O'Neil, was, on Thursday, arrested at the Brooklyn post office, where he had called for letters in answer ,to advertisements published in the papers promising, for certain remit tances of money, to send to young ladies photographs of their future husbands, and to others a recipe for making a pa tent washing powder. By papers found on the young man, it appeared that these admertisemente had found plenty of soft victims among both sexes. As no one appeared to make a complaint against O'Neil he was discharged. The _duty of placing the manacles upon Mrs. gurratt, escorting her to the gallows, and supporting her until the trap fell, devolved upon Lt. Col. W. H. H. McCall, (formerly of the sth Re- serve) of Lewisburg, Pa. When plac ing the irons upon her wrist, she told him he was no gentleman or he would not do so. Col. M'C. told her that it was his unpleasant duty, in obedience to orders, and not his choice. Her parting salute to him was "You are a scoundrel !"which were about the last audible words she uttered. sfar A group of ladies in the parlor of a villa at Ravenwood, L. 1., (opposite Blackwell's Island,) were astonished the other evening by the apparition of a big Irishman, stark naked, who rushed through the window, exclaiming, "Give me a suit of clothes." The most extra ordinary consternation followed, but the fellow stood his ground, and the •ladies were obliged to give him a suit to get rid of him. He then departed abruptly. It turned out that he was a runaway convict, and his audacious stratagem se cured his escape. or Billy Mulligan, the pestilent lit tle gambler and ruffian, is dead.

A correspondent of one of the New York dailies, writing from Fortress Monroe, under date of the 17th says that Jeff Davis is failing in health. He says, "Health has left him, hope is gone, that proud spirit is broken, and the end is not far. lam writing no fan cy sketch. I have been told to-day that if he keeps up his present prison habits and despondency, he will not live six weeks longer." Imo' General Scott says that people think he is proud and pompous simply because, he is tall and erect... To a re cent caller, who expressed surprise at his affability, he remarked, "Sir, it has been the misfortune of my life to be six feet four inches high, and to have a straight spine.. Had I been round shouldered, or had a hump on my back, it would have relieved the odium in the public eye." eir In the Buffalo Police Court it was held last week, that ladies are le gally entitled to no more privileges in public conveyances than gentlemen, and that when the latter pay for seats they have a perfect right to occupy them so long as they conduct themselves in a proper. manner.

Sentence approved. lir William Webster and his son Jo seph, who reside, with their families, in the same house, on Flint property, on the turnpike, below Montgomery Square, Montgomery county, last week had a quarrel, which resulted in the death of the father at the hands of the son. It appears that the latter wished to take a horse out of the stable for some purpose, when the father interfered to prevent him, and during the altercation struck him. The son seized an axe, lying near by, and inflicted on, the father a raqst terrible wound, laying open the skull with one blow. t. or The Governor of Arkansas has written to President Johnson, request ing the revocation of a large number of pardons granted. to wealthy rebels of that State on his recommendation. The Governor states that these persons man ifested a penitent and loyal spirit until they had received the Executive clemen cy, since which they have shown as re bellions a disposition as ever, and have fostered disloyalty and embarrassed and opposed measures of government by ev. ery 'means in their power. • Or The veritable war-horse- of the rebel chief, Stonewall Jackson, may now be seen in Newport.

An exchange has a graphic descrip tion of a recent tornado, which blew eight oxen over a river 800 yards wide, carried off several dwellitig houses, one sub-cellar, and two wells, and performed several other freaks .of strength.

The New York Observer, in an able article on church 'music, by its senior editor, thus speaks of the Mason &Ham lin Cabinet Organ; "Here we have an organ, sweet, solemn, sonorous and grand ; with your eyes shut you cannot distinguish its sound from that of the pipe organ itself.

WOMEN AM) MEN.—Very intelligent women, we Sod by observation, are sel dom beautiful. The formation of their features, and particularly their forehead, is more or less masculine. Miss Lauder was rather pretty and feminine in the face ; but Miss Sedgwick, Miss Pardue, Miss Leslie, and the late Ann Maria and Jane Porter, the contrary. One of the Misses Porter had a forehead as high as that of an intellectual man. We never knew of any very talented man who was admired for his personal beauty.

Women more frequently prize men for their sterling qualities olthe mind, than men do women. Dr. Johnion chose a woman who had scarcely an idea above .an oyster.
