died, as it was supposed, and had been placed in
its coffin. That night, the mother, who had cast
herself on the floor in an adjoining room, in the
bitterness of her grief, suddenly arose, and was
led by an irresistible feeling to look again on her
child's face. On opening the door, she found it
sitting up in the coffin, playing with the funeral
garland. This remarkable scene became the sub
ject of one of Lamartine's poems.

GREAT HAUL OF CoUNTERFEIrERs-S -Sl2,-
900 SPURIOUS MONEY FoUSD IN THEIR Posses
sros-A considerable excitement has been mani
tested by our citizens for a day or two, owing
to the capture of FIVE or six notorious counter.
feiters, and the securing of $4,000 or $4,000
of their money The circumstances of their
arrest, as near as we can learn from the officers
are as follows:
Last Saturday, four pieces of baggage came
checked to this place from Geneva, and wthou,
any person accompanying to claim them The
baggage master at the depot, to whom is due
the most praise for their arrest, being conversant
wi h the fnct that conductors on the road had
for some months past been more or less troubled
with spurious bills being offered them.
Supposing from the appearance Of the bag
gage that possibly it might contain implements
for counterfeiting purposes, adviced Mr.. Rutter,
the superintendent, of the matter, but received
negative answer when questioning him as to
the propriety Of examining it. On Sund y, the
baggage master concluded he would run the
risk and ascer tain the contents of the several
pieces. With officer Comstock's assistance he
opened the pieces which consisted Of a trunk
two valises and box, there found their dies
paper, ink, rollers, BE, and counterfeit money
to the amount Of aboupt $4,000 on the Globe
blnk OF bOSIOn. ana SJUUU on the MECHANICS
Bank Of Albany, and the balance on pennsyl
vania banks.
He likewise nscertained by letters and papers
the individuals names and residences, and or
Monday officer Comstock started fo- Genevi
for George w. Sicknor, the chief of the gang
and two brothers.
On landing mt Geneva he discovered one of th,
brothers near the wharf and secured him, anc
started for the othe-, whom he overhsuled i,
season to return by the boat that day, learning
by them that Geo. w. was at Jefferson.
On arriving at Jefferson the two persons wer,
secured in room ut the depot, and he saIlie,

yards before he ran on the him and touched hi
