Mr.. John b. Cough.

Il was announced sometime last week, in the
New York papers, that Mr. Cough, the celebrated
Westinghouse Lecturer, had mysieriously dsap-
peared from his hotel, and for several days the be-
lief pretty generally obtained that he had been way
laid by some Of the votaries of Bacchus, or yalor-
Gus heroes Of the Five Points. After having been
missed for about week. he was found by officer
Hays at house in Walker street, where he had
been most Of the time since his disappearance.
His own account Of himself is this After leaving
Croton Hotel, he met with an old shopmate with
whom he drank, as he supposed, glass of soda
water, and from that time until he was found, be
has very little recollection of what transpired AZ
ter leaving the hotel he went to the of Messrs
Saxton g. Miles, where he transacted some bust
ness and left passing Colman's he stopped to look
at some prints in the window, when he was accost-
ed by an old acquaintance and shopmate, book
binder, who asked him wha, he was doing,
"Iem Iecturing on temperance" replied Cough.
as not that rather poor work o. asked his friend
"Why, mol think it good work." answered
the lecturer.
"Well." said his old shop-mate. 81 suppose you
have got to be SO pious now that you would not
drink glass of soda water"
80. no do no; refuse to drink soda water /;
aud here is fountain; suppose we go in and have
a glass"
On coming up TO fountain near them they saw
a large number of persons waiting around it, when
Mr. Gs acquaintance said-"Come with me, can
soon take you where you get better glass OF
soda than you can get there !" saying, he led
him round the corner TO small shop, where he
called for soda-afer drinking which Mr. Cough
has no more recollection until the morning previous
TO his being found, when he remembers to have
heard it said that a reward was offered for Mr.
Cough the temperance lecturer" Some strong
narcotic drug--perhaps opium-is believed to have
been administered with the soda Only $40 of the
1890 which he had with him was found in his pos.
session. His watch ring, gold pencil, and chain
were safe. No one but his medical attendants are
allowed TO see him. nor has he yet sufnclenuy re.
covered his reason TO allow him TO make any ex
PLANTATION further than what is at present known.
There appears TO be good deal of excitemen,
in New York, and determination prevails to make
a thorough investigation of the strange affair.

Arrest of Comiertsiters.-A nest of counterfeit
ers was broken up in Palmyra on Sunday From
information received here, Justice Wentworth was
led to issue a warrant under an act Of Congress,
against counterleting and to despatch l.. b. King,
the Deputy U. s. Marshall, TO Palmyra, for the
purpose Of securing the counterieiers. After ly-
ing in wait in the vicinity about "a hours, Mr.
King, with seven men, surrounded the house,
which is situated about mile east Of the village ;
and upon entering the dwelling, four were in the
act of making bogus money. After desperate re-
sstance, in which the wife OF one Of the counter
letters joined. three of them, named Elbridge Will
liams, Selden Williams, and John Ackley were
secured. The fourth person. named Vail, escaped
with the dies that they had been using. The rest
of the Materials consisting of press an edging
machine and other instruments, together with one
hundred bogus Mexican dollars, portion of them
unstamped, were secured and brought with the
prisoners to this place. All three are now confn-
ed in jail awaiting the arrival of the U. s. District
Attorney from Oswego.
Suspicion has been had Of counterfeilng opera
tons in Palmyra for some time past. About a
year ago an attempt was made to discover their re-
treat, and committee Of the citizens OF that viii
