ARREST OF FoReER.-A Geographic despatch
from Cincinnati states that man named t. Craig
was arrested on the 18th instant at Newport, Ky !,
and Immediately brought to that city, on the
charge of being implicated in extensive forgeres.
The prisoner was arrested when in the act of wri-
ting letter which is said TO pointeoly implicate
himself. In his house were found large trunk,
pair Of saddle bags, and several baskets full of
letters with blank deeds, certificates, Sc, impli-
eating large number of persons in various parts
Of the Union. Notarial presses and seals were also
found, and upon part of the deeds the notariaI
seal of Hamilton county had been found.
An exau1ina ton of the macs of documents found
brings to light series of most bold and villainous
transactions, and it appears that a widespread
1rauduient real estate business has been carried on
for years, some of the letters being dated as far
back as lS49. Some Of the letters pretend to be
copies eff letters TO or from members of Congress,
There are also blank certificates, doubtless stolen
from the recorders offices in Illinois, Ohio, and
Georgia; parchments for drawing up land war

HINTS TO POLITICAL SATIEIsTs.-The Austrian
ofhcer IN command of the garrison at Perugia was
lately lrrltated at satire, the product of an I'M
known pen, which made its appearance on the
walls of the town, directing its iambcs against
the imperial army. Unable to discover the au.
thor, the officer requested the papal governor to
furnish him with list of all the poets of Perugia,
a somewhat embarra ssing commission to execute
in country where rhyming seems the natural
language. However, the magistrate, after due
criticism, produced five individuals, whom be
considered TO have drunk of the Hyperian springs
sufficiently deep to be entitled poets. The Aus
trian had them all stripped in the presence of g.
medical officer, whom he ordered to examine
them, and report upon the physical capacity Of
each for receiving blows with a stick Naturally
belonging TO a genus irritable, and of excitable
nervous conformation, the unfortunate poets were
set down by the surgeon at a charitably low num-
Der of bastinadoes, and were still more eratifed
when the officer instead of actually carrying into
execution his @fcutting up" ian operation even

SUBMARINE OPERATIONS AT HE'LL GATE-M
Maillefert and Captain Raasof have renewed CD
eratiOns against the famous spot Rock - at He'll.
Gate, by direction Of the Government and under
the superintendent of Brevet Major D. Fraser,
U. S. A; and the results, so far as known are as
gratifying before. 1t will be remembered that
the first intention was 10 reduce Pot Rock TWEEN
ty feet from the surface, (mean low tide) This
has been accomplished; and now, the Govern
ment approaching the importance of rendering
the gate safe for the passage Of ships of the navy
and with them all other vessels, has determined to
reduce 1t to twenty four feet, which hercuean ia
will in all probability be completed in few DAVIS
Some idea OF the magnitude of the underta king
may be had from a knowledge of the fact that
when operations were renewed-MaY 81, 1853
the area of the rock to be worked against was l6-
500 square feet Since that date the area to be re-
moved to the depth required has been reduced

demolished. The most elevated point of the rock
at the present time is twenty-one feet The
change In the eddy and current since the COM
mencement is so great that fourteen seventeen,
and nineteen charges can be exploded between
tides one, two, and three were all that could be
liked upon the rock during the early operations
The debris which lies around the rock caused con-
siderable delay. as dragging it into the Deep or to
the Shore requires a good deal of time Never

Live for Something.

Thousands of men breathe, move
and live; pass off the stage Of life, and
are heard ofno more. Why? None
were blessed by them none could
point to them as the means of their
redemption; not a line they wrote,
not a word they spoke could be recall
ed, and SO they perished; their light
went out in darkness, and they were
not remembered more than the insects
of yesterday. Will you thus live and
die, 6, man immortal? Live for some
thing. Do good, and leave behind
you a monument of virtue, that the
storms Of time can never destroy,
Write your name by kindness, love
and mercy, on the hearts of thousands
you come in contact with, year by
year, and you will never be forgotten.
No; your name, your deeds, will be
as legible on the hearts you leave be-
hind, as the stars on the brow Of the
evening. Good deeds will shine as
brightly on the earth, as the stars Of
heaven.-Dr. Chalmers.

4" You might as well dictate to me
what l am to wear or eat, as what l
am to drink"
This is the grand answer Of all op-
posers of the Maine Law, started bv
the imagined great and wise, and echo
ed by the small fry from New Orleans
to st. Anthony's Falls, and from
Georgia to Maine-and it is in the
mouth of all our Canadian opposers.
II, friends Of the traffic, you were to
eat what made you insane, what made
you beat your families-break the
peace, create, riots, commit crimes,
and become nuisances and beggars,
we friends oGprohibition say we would
regulate such a diet. Solus popuR
saprema lea I Is not this the summum
bonum Of all good Legislation, Of all
just government? This is a liberty
loving age, at least in theory-and
anything done to abridge the unbound
ed love Of liberty to do, eat, drink, or
worship, as every one pleases, is look
ed upon as tyranny. Now it so hap
pens that the Maine Law only comes
up to the mark of rational freedom ; it
steps not beyond. 1t says SIC Qtere
tuasm ut non idedGS dIipnum' use your
own SO as not injure another. Yes,
this is the principle of the Maine Law,
one consonant with sound ethics and
Gods law. You have a right to lib
erty, but not to steal another's pro-
perty, or to SANDER your neighbor.
You have a right to the light Of
heaven, but not to darken your neigh
boris window. You have a right to
drink wine and rum, but not to get
drunk and annoy me, or to make your
neighbour drunk to annoy others. to
commit crimes, and become public
expense. The moment your business
is fraught with such results, even al
though it is not intended directly by
you, yet the supreme law is superior
to individual advantage, and if either
must yield the less must do so. Every
man has right to call on government
to protect him in doing what is inno-
cent or useful, even although it may
not attend to much good-and is some-
times better to tolerate little evil,
such as the abuse at times of the free
dom of the press than to abridge it
generally. But government should not
license the selling of spirituous liquors
in inns and stores, which only results in
evil. Its true policy should be to dis
courage the opening of inns-permit-
ting the people at the same time to
drink privately what they please
