from Capt. James Harrison, of the value of
$3.50, under the'foliowing circumstances -
The Captain being out late on the evening
of the last day Of the election, and stranger
in the city, stopped the prisoner, who was in
company with another man, anil asked him
the way to his vessel, which was lying at
Pier No. I3, on the East River. ".are you
a Jackson man ?" said the prisoner Cap
tain H. replied in the affirmative, ami this
expression ofparty being deemed sufficient
passport, the prisoner and his companion i'm
mediately agreed to see him on board, and
was exceedingly happy to have an opportu-
nifty of obliging stranger Of the same po-
litical opinions. Captain H. described the
different streets through which they passed;
" at last we found ourselves in The Bowery
and the prisoner and his friend took me
down cellar, and we drank glass piece:
what there was in mine, know not, but
immediately fell asleep, and when awoke,
my Jackson. friend was gone found that
my watch was cut from my pantaloons-I

ARTIFICIAL EYES. DR.. Scudder called
upon us day or two since, accompanied by
a lad, for whom he had inserted an artificial
eye. The eye was fitted to compare with
the other with such surprising exactness,
and what no one will believe who has not
seen it, it shifted its position so regularly
with the other to meet the line of vision,
that ii was difficult to choose the natural
one-and some who were present mistook
it in the attempt When the natural eve
was turned obliqne, as far as possible. the
other lid not quite do its duty, hut within
moderate compass of motion, what we have
said is true. The eye is also contrived so
that the wearer, by little experience in
giving proper position to his body in con-
versation, can counterfeit the contraction
and dilation of the pupil of the natural eye
with success The lad said he had worn
his eye week, and without pain. Those
who have been so unfortunate rs to lose
either, or even both their eyes. or to have
them otherwise injured, will he grateful to
DR.. 5. for his very ingenious invention.
Nothing deforms the countenance so much
as bad eye-i. is even worse (if any thing
can he worse) than to lose one in either
case, DR.. S. will he able to afford relief
