Those who have witnessed. at particu.

of counterfeiters discovered at Lisbon, in

a confederacy extending into other states.
James Bennett, Abraham Hill and John

George Herbert, with concealipg Henry
HsgIer, horse thief, knowing him to be
such; Richard Hunt, with the same offence,
and also with making, stamping and coun.

stolen property; William FauIks arrested
for purchasing Of John Fsulks, a stolen
horse, knowing bin 10 be such. From the
similarity Of names, as well 40 similarity
OF gsllows occupations, it seems that some
of these parties are relations in blood as
well as 10 crime. and further, that there is
c0nfedeIacy between the counterfehers
and horse thieves, SO that all the parties
may be enabled at any moment TO make
their escape, if. detected and pursued BY
the officers OF justice. Keys were found
upon the malefactors, fitted 20 the locks OF
the Bank Of Mount Pleasant, and ,his.

Five men, since this explosion, have
been arrested at Wellsburg at Har'

closed these important facts. speaks with

There is one great security which We

BREACH or PROMISE.

Atths February Circuit Court Just termi.
mated at Cooperstown, N. Y. Miss Mary Ar.
mold recovered the sum of D30O0 damages
from Mr.. Joseph w. Mofht, for breach Of
apromise of marriage. There was also an in
teresting case Of seduction tried at the same
court, in which the plaintiff was a. poor girl,
the defendant gentleman of Albany;-the
frail fair one recovered D900. We presume
this small sum was in consequence of the pc:
cuniary inability Of the gentleman; but what
money can compensate poor girl for the loss
of her reputation; even her sedueer would
look upon her with scorn: for
