PRESENTS WELL DEsERvED-We yesterday had
the pleasure Of seeing the splendid presents present
ed to Col. Forno, Captain Fredericks, of the u.
s. steamer COL Clay, and Messrs. Ferdinand O.
Wakeman and B. H. Payne, by the Union Tow
Boat Company. Col Forno and Capt Fredericks
each received splendid gold watch and chain, and
Messrs. Wakeman and Payne, superb silver COB
lets. These well deserved presents were made in
behalf of the Union Tow-boat Company, through
their gentlemanly and efficient manager, Mr.. Junius
Beebe. They were given for the prompt aid that
the gentlemen above spoken of rendered the towboa
Hercules when near being destroyed by fire, on the
18th of March last The gratitude of the owners
of the boat is only comparable with their noble
generosity.

Few incidents, even in the most Thrilling kind
Of novels, are really more remarkable than the facts
connected with the losing, and finding again-for it
has been found-of the valuable package of New

A black woman named Sarah Stewart, who lived
in Jersey city, and who happened to be on board
the boat, picked up the package which Mr.. Tay-
lor the President of the Bank, had forgotten. A
few days afterwards, suspicion was excited by her
conduct in New York, and her plentiful use of S.
bills. Officers Wood, Jenkins, and Woolsey, re-
covered the money-the latter two getting the re-
