CoNyICTION OF NOTORIOUS FoRGER.-
James Morton, notorious forger, has been
convicted in Philadelphia, and sentenced TO
confinement in the penitentiary for nine years.
Morton is represented as about 60 years OF
age, worth nearly 100000, prepossessng in
appearance and gentlemanly in address. En-
dowed with superior intellect, he has mar
aged for a series Of years, to escape the pun
ishment due his crimes. The Philadc phia
Eagle says:
1t is a little remarkable that so many of the
dupes of Morton, ia these parts, have been
caught, tried and convicted, while he, the
great master spirit, has escaped so long. He
has perpetrated heavy torgeres in Baltimore
and New York. and has been confined III the
Sing Sing prison three times at least, but not,
we believe, for long periods. Failing in the
accomplishment Of his plans by the aid OF men
alone, he has had some very distinguished wo-
men to assist him in his criminal practces.-
The notorious Julia Wade, one of the most
artful and deceiving females known to the city
police, was concerned with Morton for a con-
siderable time.
Her manner of operating was iii this wise:
dressed as Il lacy Ol Wealln, ana assuming heT
airs and graccs, she would stroll into store,
and after purchasing articles to the amount of
five or ten dollars, present hundred dollar
note in payment, which, if there was not sutfi-
cent change IN the establishment, the response
of Julia will be, give me your check, sir, for
the balance > From checks thus attained large
forgeries were porpetrated on several of the
banks in this city. About a twelve month
ago, young female presented check at the
counter of the Philadel phia Bank for 500 and
odd dollars, which was at once discovered to
be forgery. She was arrested, tried and ac-
quilted, as her story was plausible one, and
the jury rightly believed her to be the dupe of
others. They were right, she was under the
care of julia Wade, who fled the city upon
her arrest, and has remained abroad ever since.
Morton has not been known in any "out door,
transactions, his Office being that of general
director to- it is presumed, an extensive corps
The great man has now fallen-betrayed by
one of his chosen men--and we may readily
conclude that with him the glory Of his house
has departed.

"No," SAID the Dutchman.
Eyes, " said the Fakir, ''and can prove it,
| hear nest of chickens in the cabbage now"
and an audible chirruping was easily dlstn-
guished.
Give me your knife" says the Fakir; and
opening the cabbage, out popped good sized
hen and several chickens, apparently week
old.
"Mein Got" exclaimed the Dutchman-
"Vat is dat"
We can easily account for the limitations of
the sounds produced by the calf's head, the
egg, and the turkey. The gold pieces in the
apples were of course placed there by an in
genlous sleght of hand The Fakir perform
ed similar experiments during his public lee
lures. But how the hen got into the cabbage
is a conundrum to us. We are rather Of the
opinion that our eyes deceived us, and that
they were not there at all, but must have
been slowed away in the folds of the Fakirs
ample cloak, until he saw fit to release them,
apparently from the Dutchman's cabbage.
The Fakir is about to visit the various cities
down the river, and we advise the market-peo-
pie to be on the lookout for him, for if he
does not make their turkes speak, they will
find by attending his lectures that he can do
other things equally as wonderful.

BABIES Dolls. We see it stated in an Eng
Iish paper, that 1900 sacks of sawdust are
consumed annually, in London, for stuffing
dolls alone. Also, that one toy manufacturer
has been known to purchase three thousand
pounds worth Of dolls eyes at one time--that
one hundred and eleven persons are constantly
employed in one mandatory, in making small
sized donkeys-and, that as much timber is an
nually consumed in making wooden horses for
children to ride upon as would be required in
first rate ship of var. This is certainty doing
a large business, though it be for small matters

SPECTRAL VISION. The Boston Medical
Journal says that a gentleman in that city,
known for his intelligence and enterprise for
years past, has been entertained with singu
lar spectral visiter, whenever he enters GER
tain gate in front of relatives house, on
Washington street, bordering on Roxbury.
He is met by large, full-taced horid-com-
plexioned man, dressed in broadbrimmed
white hat. This occurs at all hours of the
day. The spectre recedes from him as he adj
vances, and near the front door is lost in air
He assures us that he takes pleasure in looking
his intangible vision full in the eyc-examines
the color and cut of his garments, and now re-
CARDS him as an old, familiar acquaintance
The gentleman is not conscious OF having de-
iective vision. 1t is evident that morbid &C
ton takes place in his brain, through its con-
nection with the optic apparatus-and that
the spectre is reproduced by local causes exs-
ting at the gate, which cannot yet be ex-
planned.

INTERESTING INDIAN Battle
bet,ceen lie Blacblet and Cror Indians. The
ST. Louis Rovoille of the 22d has the following
interesting Indian intelligence, brought by q
gentleman from Fort F. A, G., near the Falls
of Missouri
On the 18th of last June, some 700 of the
Crows fell upon small party of the Blackeet,
who had caGapod about 10 miles from the Fort,
and in advance of the main body. The Crows
killed %, wounded as many more, and took
upwards of Il hundred women and children
prisoners, and succeeded in capturing 800
horses. Intelligence Of their disastrous defeat
having been conveyed 10 the main body OF the
Backfeet, they came up, and, though in less
numbers than the Crows, attacked them in
turn, and fought so desperately that the latter
were compelled to retreat TO place they had
strongly fortified, which they succeeded in
reaching with all their plumber, though most of
their prisoners escaped. The Backteet were
not strong enough TO disodge the Crows from
their position, and ultimately retired. The
battle continued between various parties OF
each tribe for quite four days. The actual
number of killed III the affair it was difficult to
ascertain. The Crows acknowledged loss of
eight or ten killed and several wounded. Our
informant states that the Blackfeet intend TO
revenge themselves upon their enemies the en-
suing spring. 1t appears that the majority of
the tribe were on the other side of the noun
tains, near the head waters of the Columbia,
whittier it is their custom of going every spring,
and that those who were engaged in this affair
with the Crows were but an advanced party
who had recrossed the mountains somewhat
earlier than usual.
The Crows had been driven into the neigh
borhood where the fight occurred-which is
called, in pa lance, the "Black Country'-by
the Sioux, who were out in great force against
them. They usually visit that section of the
country, likewise, when the Blackfeet are abb
sent.
About fortnight before the fight, small
party of the Blackteet attacked the "horse
guard" at Fort F. A, c., q trading post Of the
