of a large amount of money from one
the Pittsburg Banks, found on arriving
at Gettysburg, that a p%ortmanteau, in
which the money was placed, had been
cut open, and a package containing
Sl5, 900 taken out. A black boy was
suspected, but was found not guilty.
The companion ofMr. Brown a man
of good retail business in PittSburg,
who had come all the way with hun,
appeard unwilling to stop with him d
search for the lost money, saying he
had a note to pay in Philadelphia, n
must come Immediately on, and came
on accordingly. This excited suspI-
cion, and suspicion being aroused, a
person was sent on at once to York,
where he arrived before the stage, and
where he gentleman who was in such
haste was arrested on his arrival. On
Being searched, $4,000 of the money
was found in one pocket, and $4,000
in the other; whereupon he was accom-.
modated with apartment in the stone
house, instead Of being permitted to
come here and take lodging at the u.

soon found necessary TO call in a phys,-
clan. Medical skill proved Of no avail.
The pain and inflammation increased, until
about two weeks ago, when he had seem-
ingly become so much better, as TO jus'i
fy the belief that he would eventually
recover. The appearance OF returning
health was deceptive. 10 two or three
days the pain and inflammation returned
with increased vigor, and on Tuesday
morning he died. Apart from the very
bad taste of having your arm and breast
stained with India ink, or any otherpaint,

danger of undergoing such an operation,

TAKE CARE How o MAKE A BAR
CANA complaint relative to a most
extraordinary transaction was yester-
day made at the Upper Police. AS
the magistrate did not consider that he
could take cognizance of it, and that
the parties must have recourse to a CIV
il suit, we abstain from mentioning the
names Of those concerned in it ; but
think it right to mention the occurrence
as acaution to people making a bargain
1t appears hal on Wednesday last, a
Mr.. R. who keeps a grocery store in
Hudson street, agreed to sell his stock
in trade to a MIR. c.. for 1924, to be
paid for in cash at 4 O'Clock that day
C. paid $40 on account, and got a bill
ofsaIe ofthe goods, and Immediately
went to Mr.. H. to whom he owed a
debt, and confessed a judgment for
5000, and a little after four O'Clock on
the same day, H. put an execution in
Sherif's hands against the property
which C. had purchased from r. and
swept away the whole of it, altho' X.
had received but $40 on account of it.

A METEOROLOGICAL BLAsT.--HURR

A NEUROLOGICAL BLAsT.--HURRI-
c.NE.-Ru,herford county, North Car
Tna, was visited on Friday night, the
18th ult., by one Of these monsters,
whose ravages have been rather more
extensive than usual. Its first traces
ore visible on Main Broad river3 6 miles
east OF Rutherfordton +; passing tn en- a
northeast course, it struck the farm of
Or. McEntire, unroofing all his houses
of every description, blowing his fod-
d~erstacks away, prostrating his fences,
and doing other injuries. Continuing
lis course through the forest, which
was shorn of its glory, it next encoun-
tered the farm of Mr. eer, four miles
north of this place, which it served in
the same manner. All ofhis buildings
were unroofed, and most of them blown
down. either wholly or in part. In the
.neighborhood Of Mr.. Geer the destruc-
ton of timber was very great. The
roads are blocked up beyond all hopes
Of restoration, and the forests are liter
allv levelled with the earth. Its ex>
tent in length was about ten miles, per-
haps more; breadth about a quarter OF
amile. No serious accident occurred.
The hurricane, among various other
freaks seized hold Of a chicken. house.
which it tore into fragments and scat
tered to the four quarters Of the globe;
and the chickens, geese, turkles, and
ducks, all shared the same fate.
Another circumstance connected
with its progress is singular. About
five miles north Of Rutherlordton, a
vein of gold has been traced at least
three miles, and a large company has
commenced operating upon a portion OF
it, with every prospect of realizing a
large profit on their investment. The
gale encountered this vein at one end,
and pursued it for the whole three
miles, with as much ~exactness as the
most skilful mlneralogist would trace
it, through its various windlngs, liter
ally sweeping every thing before 1t.

Power OF TERROR. Among the
passengers lost in the wreck of the
Bristol, was Mr.. Christopher s.
late of Paterson, and more recently Of
Brooklyn. Mr.. S-was known
to US. He left this country for Ireland,
his native land, about four months since
on business, and was returning to his
family in Brooklyn. A few days be-
fore the wreck, Mr.. S--had sent
a letter to his wife by a vessel which
they spoke-This letter she had recei-
we'd the day before the wreck. 1t app
pears that MIR. S--had a young
companion on board the ship, who in
the moment of great peril, was below.
He exerted himself greatly to save
this young man, and succeeded. He
remained himself on the wreck until
his friend had gone on shore safe.-
He was among the last taken ofl-and,
lamentable to state, when he was taken
into the boat, his mind was gonei He
was an idiot-and died very shortly
after he was brought on shore. His
friend whom he had saved, brought in
telIigence to his family-consisting ola
wife and three young children-and
the affective scene which followed, we
will not attempt to describe.--N. Y.
