The MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH GIVING ADVICE Ora
TUIrot SrY.-On Monday evening last, during the
continuance of the thunder shower, while the light
ming was playing, and the rain descending, man
upon no setback was seen movin with rapid pace
along the road, apparently DESTROYS of obtaining
shelter. When in the neighborhood Of Franklin
street, kensington, where the wires of the tele-
graph line are comparatively low, the rider from
his elevated position was placed IN close proximity
TO this rapid messenger. Just at this moment, a
vivid flash of lightning seiZng upon the wires, used
them to communicate the intelligence to futu re
passersby during the thunder showers, that they
must not approach loo nigh its useful, though dam
cerous appliances. AS the wires received the
shock, from some cause, its effect was conmuni-
Gated to horse and rider, who both sank to the
ground, apparently llteess but soon arose, the
rider utter amazed at the prosration of himself
and horse and clapplng his hand to his cheek,
where he imagined he had been wounded, he ex
claimed, in loud voice, that he wondered that
any body could be so foolish to let cart stand
in the middle of the street of dark night, for peo-
pie to run against and inlure themselves" And
satisfied that this the case, took his departure
apparently uninjured-Pha. EUening Bulletin.

ARREST FOR OFFERING COUNTERFEIT MONEY
We learn that soon after the steamer Senator ar
rived here yesterday morning, man who came
passenger in her, calling his name Henry Smith,
Of Portland, offered two $50 bulls on the Blddeford
Bank at the Mercantile Bank In this city, for ex-
change. The cashier pronounced the bills coun-
tereit, and the man left. The cashier being alone
could not follow him. He next offered the bills at
the Kenduskeag Baak with the same result He
then offered them at the Bank of Bangor whers
they were pronounced counterfeit. Gen. Veaze
the president of the bank, was present and ques-
toned Smith as to where he obtained the bills
He SAID he had them of his brother who was now
In Mexico, and that he had no other bills of the
kind. As he Left. the general thought he would
follow him, and did so; and sent also for an Off
Ger. Constable Walker soon appeared, and on
Smith being pointed out TO him, he demanded of
him the counterfeit bills in his possession and at
the same time arrested him. Smith drew from
his pocket loaded pistol and attempted to fire.
but was suddenly seized by Gen. Veaze and the
constable as to be unable to do so. His pocket
book was taken and found to contain nine fifty
dollar counterfeit bills on the Biddeiord Bank, all
well executed except that they were rather pale !;
there were also several small bills in the pocket
book. He was committed to prison, and will be
examined probably to-day. The Counterfeit De-
tector does not mention the existence of this coun
terieit and this man is probably one of gang
who Is in advance of the Detecor and the more
likely therefore to succeed. We deem it much to
the credit of our people that the counterfeit was so
soon discovered and the arrest made.-Bangor

The FRONTIER CoUNrERFElTERs. -Messrs. Prem
tiss, Clark, and Young paid another visit to Barns
ton during the past week. and seized, upon the
premises of Samuel Davis quantity of Mexican
dollars, parts of several dies, some crucibles for
melting metals, and slips for altering Perkins's
stereotype bank plates to nine different banks with
slips for the various towns where the banks are To-
Gated, and also slips for Maine, New Hampshire
and Vermont: The counterfeit plates were engra-
we'd without the name of the bank, the town or
State where the bank is located, but space left in
which the names of each could be inserted. The
slips are made OF copper, to fit the space in the
plate, with the name OF the bank, town and State
engraved thereon; and when the manufacturers
wish to run of bills upon different banks they just
tan instruments IN the manufacture of counterfeit
bank bills. 1t is believed thorough uprooting Of
this business IN this section of the country has
been effected We understand quite number of
individuals, supposed to have been engaged in the
counterfeitng, have within a few days left the
province. On the Sth inst, says the Montreal Ga
oette Mr.. High Constable Clark, from Sherbrooke
arrived IN Montreal having in charge Nathan Lewis
Cor Adams,) an old engraver, who is suspected to
the countertelers, engraving their plates and cut
ting their dies for making counterfeit money, In
the districts of Montreal and Saint Francis. He
was traced from Barnston to Durham, and then
fled to Farnham, in the district of Montreal, where
he was arrested by MIR. Clark. Upon searching
his room, were found counterfeit money tools Of
all Kinds for engraving, and carrying on the coun-
the manufacture of hard silver, with their copper
plates In state of preparation for engraving. We
understand that he has been fully committed for
inal. 1t Is understood that he is the only engraver
in the employment of the counterieters In Eastern

ARREST or NEGRO DEsPERADO.---At Matches,
Miss, the St instant, the police officers of that
place, at the imminent hazard of their lives, sue
ceeded In arrestlng a runaway, almost an outlaw
OF the negro race, named Sol, or Solomon. He
was formerly owned by Philip Ssloff, of this city
has been sold twice at least since and now pro-
badly belongs to some planter on the Yazoo or
in the northern part of the State. He has been
runaway for nearly Two years, and had his hiding
place., with all the stolen comforts of life around
him, in some bayou, miles distant from Nachez:
yet such was his hardhood of character that he
daily visited the city, had home IN some q,sasi
free Negroes house and defied the law and the Off
GERS of the law In the double character of preacher
and conlurer, he had acquired quite an ascendancy
over the, negro people with whom he became ac-
qualnted; has seriously proposed marriage to a
negro woman, slave OF one of our citizens and at
the same time amused himself with abducting
Charlotte, young cooured girl belonging to Mr..
Vlnnlgerholz of Natchez, whom he decoyed to his
retreat, where he regned as chief bandit over the
runaways and the outlaws. Like his namesake,
Solomon OF old, Sol was fond OF the fair sex but
justice was too quick on foot tor him. His
retreats and character became known. He was
hunted by the officers of the police, and the girl
Charlotte was run down. when the information ex-
tracted from her led to his arrest day before yester
day, after desperate and bloody resistance He
was found IN the house of colored man named
Green, from which he ran, pursued by the officers
Ia getting over tence, he fired pistol, and came
almost within hairs breadth of hitting police
officer Benbrook. He gained the house of Mr.
Purnell, ran into the paro bolted and barrcaded
the doors. He exploded the cap of another pistol
at the breast OF Captain Dillon, of the City Guard,
intending to have shot him through the door PANEL
Green, who had harbored him, was commanded to
break in the PANEL with an axe, when the officers
brought him within range of their double barrelled
guns. He even then, with the hair triggers drawn
upon him, for time refused to surrender, demand
ing that the officers should disarm before he did,
at the same instant of time. He was finally
captured, with some wounds, and will now have
to await his trial for life. number of the fugl-
tives he commanded in his den; are well-known
by name, and it is hoped that the capture of so
arocous villain will lead to their arrest-Nat-

amount of money thus cXtortcd, has encreased
