We learn with great satisfaction that the mag
nifccnt steamer Baiac of the collins line of
Atlantic ships, sailed yesterday morning from
New York for the waters Of the Potomac. The
=. Baltic is commanded by Mr.. G.. V. Fox, United
States navy, and We believe that he is the first
officer of our navy who has as yet been placed in
command Of one of these noble vessels From
what We have heard of Captain Fox's abilities we
have no doubt that he will exhibit his ship, upon
her arrival here, to the greatest advantage, and
will not only reflect credit upon the company who
have selected him for the service, but equally so
upon the navy, Of which he is gallant member.

Block of Marble for washington's Nom
ument.

A beautiful block of marble has been prepared
in Philadelphia for the Grand Lodge Of Odd
Fellows, to be presented to the Washington Monu-
ment Society, to be placed in the Monument

tiful and appropriate, and cost $500. 1t is four
feet square, eighteen inches thick, and weighs
upwards of two tons, and is described MS follows
by the Philadelphia " Register"

Of the Grand Lodge of the United States, in cir
Gle three feet in diameter. The figures represent
Hope Charity, and Mercy, n double shield sup
porting the globe, with different designs of the
Order, all cut in the most admirable manner BY
John Battim and Peter +. Laws. At the top of
the circle is an eye, emblematic of the aH-seciHg
eye, and at the bottom of the shield the words,
" Amicitia amor et Vcritas." Below this and
within the circle isinscribed d" Grand lodge of the
United States of the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows" The inscription around the beautiful
design of the Order is, We, command you to
visit the sick, relieve the distressed bury the
dead, and educate the orphan"

ADVERTISING. The Boston journal" fur
nishes n striking illustration of the benefits Of
liberal and judicious advertising. 1t is from the
cash-book Of $. S. TIoughton, dry-goods dealer
in Boston. From Dec. II, 1851, to JAN L. 1852,
his sales without advertising were Sl,7l2'l9-
an average Of S75 day. At the end of that
time, he commenced Advertising and up to the
7th Of February expended one hundred dollars
in making his business known through the news
papers. At that time his sales had reached
81, ,000. 03--an average Of S3Oi@j day. There
is very little danger that that man will give up
advertising.

From the Harrisburg " Union" Feb. 25th.l
Rich Developln

suit was tried in our court last week he
tween Emanuel Geyer, late of this place hut
now Of Bradford county, and A. ]. Jones, post
master Of this borough which brought to light
the richest financial man9uvring that ever was
heard of in this section of country. Indeed
we doubt whether the brokers of Wall street
could not have learned n valuable lesson in this
school. The scene of operations was laid in
Hagerstown, Maryland, where certain Farm
ers and MiIlers' Bank failed about the year 1912
After the failure, Mr. Jones and small party
Of fnanciers, without money, undertook the re
suscitation of the bank. They obtained sons
$S4, 900 worth Of the stock of this bank, fol
which they gave stock notes, secured by valuable
tracts of coal and timber lands on the mountain,
As small amount Of ready cash was needed
to prevent n collapse of the vaults of the bank
Mr.. Geyer was taken into the concern, and al
lowed to deposite $7 900 good and lawful money,
MIR. Jones giving him q bond to indemnify him
from loss. Upon this seven thousand dollars
the bank moved off swimmingly for a very short
time, and the operators obtained large quanti-
ties of the notes and commenced circulating
them but, unfortunately for all concerned this
small metallic basis would not keep the bank
ahoat long enough to make the notes go, and
the whole concern exploded. In the mean time
there were going on the most extraordinary as
signing, changing, shifting, transferring, and
swapping OF securities, so that the whole thing
became as beautifully entangled as basketful
of t,cisted cells. When the bank failed again, the
operators failed, and from that day to the present
fierce battle has been going on between the
parties, and this suit was brought by Mr.. Geyer
against Jones by way of settling it; but it ap
pears that the court and jury could not fully dis
pose Of the matter on legal and equitable princi-
Piles at single sitting, and we presume there
will be another hearing, which will bring to light
other and more important developments.
The general impression seems to be that Mr.
Geyer lost several thousand dollars by the oper-
alton, but the matter is SO entangled that it is
difficult to make this appear legally.

A DRY PLAcE.-The Upland Chester county,
"Union' says: "By an interdict, the charter for
the town of Media prohibits the sale Of spirituous
and vnous liquors as beverage; and, through the
Intervention of dry season, the place is now
without water. Every well, we learn, is dry.
The walls Of several have been taken up and dug
deeper, but they are again dry. This is serious
Inconvenience to the citizens of the place and
those who have business"
Well, would the drought be less severe il
alcoholic drinks were to be procured? By no
means.
