ner of the Baltimore Convention. They
propose sending on a delegation iwenty
thousand strong to secure it. Well, it ls
all far, let them get it if they can; Della.

may whistle for her chance. What a

if we don't get the Banner. Glory and
success to the State that gets 1t, and may
victory ever perch upon he band of true

to reach Baltimore by the way Of York
TINS we do not exactly like; we were in

pass through Delaware. We should oe
sorry to deprive the citizens Of the Bor-

A FoRGERY.-A gentleman of this
town received by mail on Thursday The
Dist INST, letter purportlng 10 he from
a friend who was then on a visit TO Bal
tmore. The letter contained request
that twenty FIVE dollars might BE- enclosed
by return mail, and it should be refunde !
upon the writer returning to Winch ster
on Saturday. Without hesitation, or Tune
TO scrutiuize the hand writing, the money
was sent and nothing more thought upon
the subject until Sunday morning, when
the gentleman who had enclosed the mo-
ncv met his friend and inquired ifhis let
ter had been received with the enclosure.
Much 70 the astonishmen, Of both parties,
il was found that fraud had been CON.
mitled, and they at once proceeded TO IN
vestg t. the matter to find on: the guilty
person. Their suspicious were aroused
towards a certain young man, who for
merly lived 10 this place, and the forged
letter as bren compared carefully with
some OF his former letters. TIE general
character OF the wiring IS very similar,
and many think the grounds Of suspicion
strong, yet no positive proof has been dis
covered.
We advise tho young man who has
been guilty OF this frgery, to desis! from
further participation in such crimes, or he
will certainly meet that punishment which
his rascary deserves. - Winchester Rep.

"A Beautiful Centre 7aJe.-Mr. ]. Tyler
Headly thus describes, in the N. Y. Tri-
bune, Mosaic centre table, which he late
ly saw in Rome:
1t was finer word than | ever saw in
breast pin at home. II needed the closest
inspection TO detect, it was not painting.
The man had been for years in finishing it,
and had Just received an order for II from
Russian Princess, who was to give him
$1,000. II represented Rome in four diff
ferent aspecs, the scenes gong round the
outer edge of the table. First, the Piazza
del Popolo," by sunrise, with its gate and
obeiisk second, ST. Peters with its glo-
rious colonnade, obelisk, and fountains,
under the blaze of a bright MONDAY next
came the Forum, the Capitol, the ruined
Palace Of The Casart, and the lonely col
ums standing around this focus OF old Ro-
man glory, bathed in the soft light of the
setting sun, last of all came The Coliseum
by moonlight, and more perfect moon |
never saw printed. II had besides an
deliberately wrought centre piece. lnever
broke the eoammandment-"Thou shalt
not covet' so much in half an hour in my
life as during the time | was inspecting

n ReSuScitaiion.-The st. Louis Re-
publican states that ga short time since, a
young lady of that city, of a Jewish family,
died of nervous disease. The day after,
her friends started with her remains for in
terment. According TO Jewish custom,
the body is taken TO the graveyard in a
square box, in the same covering in which
the deceased person has expired, and there
in house appointed for the porpose, the
female friends ofthe family unrobe the body
wash it with cold water, and annoint it for
the last resting place. While performing
this custom upon the body of this suppos-
ed inanimate corpse, healthful warmth
evaporated from il evident signs of life be-
came manifest. Physicians were imme-
diately sent for, and on their arrival the
certainty of her being alive was establish
ed, and means taken to fan the spark into
health, in which we earnestly hope they
will succeed"

KIDNAPPING IN WINCHESTER

One OF the boldest and most successful
attempts at Kidnapping, we have ever
known, was undertaken 10 this town on
Wednesday night of last week. Some
fortnight or more since, n man who reg
is,erei his name as G. Turner, made his
appearance in Winchester, having ap.
parentiy no kind Of business with any o.
our white citiz ms. After remaining n
day or two al banners Hotel, his conduct,
was rather singular and created suspicious
that oil was not right. He left, however,
as appears, without informing any one
where he was going, and was not heard
Of until Thursday The Dist, when it s, ems
he had returned 20 Winchester the night
before, and succeeded 10 carrying off six
negroes, belonging to Bushrod Taylor,
Esq. The negroes were not missed until
about | / o'clock on Thursday, and imme.
date steps were taken to pursue them
NJ, ssengers were dispatched to many parts
of the country, and upon the arrival Of
two in Chambersburg Pa, they found that
the negroes, in company with white man
hal left in the cars for Philadelphia, four
hours before. ThuS it would appear That
the negroes must have started nj an early
hour in the night, and travelled all night
with considerable speed.
a letter was received here on monday
(Christmas day. post-marked PhIlade pha
in which the writer stated that Mr.. Tay.
lor's servants had ssfrIy arrived in ihat
place on Thursday night, and that Mr.. I.
need not trouble himself about them, as
thew were well and on their way to Can
ada. THIS letter was directed to a free
Eerro man, and stated that some one would
be on again in a few days, to take off sew.
craI other blacks.
1t is supposed by some, that the man
engaged in this kidnapping is mn abolition.
isl who was tired some time ago in Annap-
oils, Nd, for similar efforts to carry off
negroes. 1t is also said, TINT man an.
swerng the description has been arrested
10 ChGmbersburg, and a gentleman has
gone on from this place TO ijectlfy hun.
We hope he may be caught md made to
receive the severest penalty oftho law.
