A PAIR OF FORGERs ARREsTED.-1he Peters
burg EXPIRES learns that for some days back on the
races at Broad Rock, number of well done ten
dollar bogus bills found their way into cir
culation; till suspicion fell upon a couple of cute
looking individuals, who passed under various
aliases and were lately known Us John Christian
and - Hudson esq. On Saturday morning
these fellows left Richmond, route for Lynch
burg followed by an officer. who one of them
descend at every station, buy ticket, and
change a $40 note, giving bad one, and re-
ceivng good money in return. On arriving at
the Junction, this gent. who had such liking
for change, tried TO palm off an \ upon Mr..
Grlgg, the agent when little erpose took place,
and the gent who then called himself Christian,
was charged with passing counterfeit bank bills,
arrested and searched, when an immense amount
of the STUFF" found stored away on him.
with dies aud curious implements, for forging and
lock picking. He was treated to an apartment
in Nottoway Court House jail. Nothing being
observed in the other individual to warrant his ar
rest, as he kept aloof from acting like his part
ner, he was allowed to proceed, but some of the
passengers kept their eyes on him. and when
near the high bridge, he was seen to throw "a
package out of the window. At Farmville infor-
nation was laid against hlm,& he was brought be.

One bill was only seen on him, and he very
near being dismissed, when closer examna
ton. some skeleton keys aud other little eccen-
trio articles were found hidden on his person
which, in connexon with the fact of his throwing
package out OF the cars, caused him to be com
United for further investigation.

Tne D ity ofsailors towards Passengers

In the case of Holmes, tried ia the l. : Cir
cult Court ia Philadelphia fourteen year. ago for
man-lanRhfcr. for throwing pa ,cnPcrs overheard
from "a boat Il The wrecked ship Wm. Brown, in
order 10 tighten the boat and save the live. Of the
remainder. Judge Baldwin applied the Law in re
lation to the duties Of the sailors towards pus-
sencers.
We append a portion of the decision in tue
published by the Philadelphia Ledger:
The passenger stands IN a position different
from that ii the officers and s.amcn; it Is the -nil
or who must encounter the hardshps and pcnis
Of the voyage. Nor can this relation be chang
ed when the ships los, by tempest or other dang
OF the and all board haze bctaken
themselves. for safety, 10 the small boats; for
immineuce of danger cannot absolye from duty.
The sailor Is bound a. before, Ia undergo what
eveg haznrd II necessary to preserve the boat
and the passengers. should the emergency be
extreme 10 call for the sacrifice Of life.
there can be no reason why the law daes not sill
remain the same; the passenger not being bound
either 10 labor or 10 incur the risk at life, cannot
be bound 10 sacrifice his existence TO preserve the
sailors. Ibseaptain, indeed and sufficient
number 81 seamen 10 nav gate the boat must be
preserved for, except these abide in the ship all
will perish; but if there be more seamen than
necessary 10 manage the bont, tl.e supcrnumer
AIRY sailors have no right for their safety To sacr-
fee the passengers. The sailors and passengers,
In TACT, ennno be regarded a. in equal positions.
The sailor ito use the language Of distiuguish-
ed writer owes more beneyolcnee to another
than 10 himself be is bound TO sci u greater value
on the life Of others than on his own. and while
admit that sailor and sailor may lawfully
struggle with each other for the plank which can
save but one, we think that if the passenger is on
the plank. even the law Of necessity jnstifes not
the saiier who lakes it from him. when the danger
is 20 extreme that the only hope is in sacrificing
either sailor or passenger. ANY alternative
Is hard aud would ii not be the hardest of any to
sacrifice passenger in order to save super
numerary saiorl" The jury found the prisoner
guilty of manslaughter, and he was sentenced to
SIX months solitary confinement and hard labor,
and to pay in addition Il fine of twenty dollars.

LAKE MoNsTER.-A movement in the waters
of our bay, one day last week, created quite All
eNeitment for the time being among those who
witnessed it. We are told by an eve witness
that monster, of serpentine form, from 30 to 10
feet in length, was distinctly seen to move about
in the water, with an agility equal TO that of the
most expert of the tinny tribe. We are also told
that several of our fishermen have long been i'm
pressed with the idea, from actual observation. Of
the existence OF some imaginary monster in the
waters of the lake.
On one occasi III, at distance of only nbout
ten rods, his snakeship was scen exhibiting a
length OF over fifty feet, and body more than a
foot through They represent the unknown as
capable of great rapidity of movement under
water, having on more than one @ 'eh>ion sudden
ly disappeared, and in AN almost incredibly short
time risen to the surface Of the water, from a
quarter to half mile distant. We understand

A Nice Question.

The Worcester (Mass,) Transcript of Thurs
day says:-We understand that Mr.. Gale of
this city, who with his wife and infant child, per
ished in the Arctic, and whose loss is mourned
10y large circle of friends, had left his will in
the hands of friend in This city. The proyis-
ions oft are singular, taken in connection with
the circumstances of his death. After certain
legacies to friends and relatives, he bequeathed
the residue of his property to his wife and child
or children; if his wife should survive him. but
child or children, then all his property to her
MIR. Gale, his child and wife were all ON board
the Inflated steamer. II will be remembered
that they were in the boat, which capsizipg
itated into the sea and persisted, except Mrs
Gale, who chung shrieking to the thwarts, and
was drawn into the steamer again. Mr.. Gale
was seen, rs he was swept away by the waves,
with the child in his arms. Where relatives
thus perish, by the same casualty, an interest
ing question always arises. rs to the one who
may he considered the survivor of the other-
The Roman law always entertained this conclu-
slve presumption, that, of several persons the
youngest if IA child. perish first: if an adult that
he survived the old and feeble. The presume
ton of our own law Is rather,t that. where no spe-
clal circumstances are proved all ara supposed
To have persisted together. But in the present
case. the infant from its comparative weakness
must cleall b" supposed to nave persisted before
the father who bore il in his arms in the last
death struggle, and from what facts have been
related, Mrs. Gale would seem to have been, for
a brc and terrible period, the survivor and
helress of her husband and son, from whom her
relatives would inherit.

IRON SAN FRANCISCO TO NEW YORK PER BARK W

Alas for the sanguine merchants who sent
these articles to San Francisco, hoping to reap
q princely fortune from their sale. 1t is hardly
our province to tell the mercantile community
what goods they should buy, and what they
should sell, but we will venture to mention
one commodity which has always commanded
high figure in California, and does so still,
while axes, hammers and Irvine are coming back
by the ship load. That article is domestic SER
wants. Let any man ship cargo of Irish girls
and men to San Francisco, and hire them out by
the month, and he will--if the servants can be
kept to their bargain-make fortune in no
time. Any other export is perilous.

MEETING OF THE HARLEM RAILROAD SrocK-
HoLDERs.-The meeting of the stockholders in
the Harlem Railroad Company will take place
in Tryon row, on Tuesday next, lst August, to
ratify the course taken by the directors in
reference to Schuyler's swindles and to elect, we
hope, new Board Of Directors. We trust that
every stakeholder will be present. The matters
that will come under discussion are too important
to be decided by a minority Of the shares. Wall
street and the commercial community expect
that the Harlem Railroad Company will, by its
action, throw some new light on the recent de-
velopements in stockjobbing, and set an ex-
ample to other corporations involved in similar
calamites. twill of course be proper to elect
new Board composed Of men who will not so
thoroughly neglect the business Of the COM
pany as to render it possible for fresh schuylers
to rob the shareholders. If any of these latter
absent themselves, this necessary change may
not be carried into effect 1t has already hap
pened that proxies have been voted upon at
meetings of the Harlem company, long after
they have been cancelled. Every man should
go on Tuesday and vote for himself In order
TO prevent any chcanery Of this or any other
Kind. There must be clean sweep of the old
men.
