AWhoieSale Hoax.

Eight or ten thousand persons wert
hoaxed, on Tuesday last, in New York
by believing a statement that was frs
published in the Tribune, and went the
rouads Of the press. 1t was announced
with gravity and glee that military visit
would be paid to New York by three uni.
formed companies oforganized and disci-
plined female infantIy,(lancers,) ftom
Pennsylvania and New Jersey, who were
known as the Fairy Light Guard, com.
manded as a battalion, by masculine
Colonel, and Lieut.. Colonel. but officer.
ed throughout by ladies, including Cap
tains on horseback, The battalion was tc
be met on its arrival by a company Of tie
National Guards, escorted by them to the
Park, and there they would perform mill
! tary evolutions, evincing their high dis
cipline and skill, dining afterwards at The
Astor House, aud visiting various sights ir
the afternoon.
As might be expected, not one readel
in ten imagined for moment, that thi'
grave, and at the same time, joyous an
nouncement of an interesting spectacle
was only the baseless fabric ola vision
that the Amszonian battalion known a:
the Fairy light Guard, and commanded
by Penthesilean Captains on horseback,
was sheer hoax and fabrication; that the
Tribune was playing another ofits tricks
upon the credulity Of the public.-Ac.

The Sailors Home,

After the recent heavy storm on the coast
Of Massachusetts,. a SAILORS chest, which had
been swept from some wrecked vessel, was
cast on shore, and opened by those who
found it. A narrator says
"But we found precious treasure in the
SAILORS chest. No diamond of Brazil-nc
gem ofthe western coast. So precious, yea,
the price Of it was above rubies. It was The
word of God. We were glad 10 see it. The
sight Of it sent a tide Of pleasant ,houeh hts
through our hearts. II we knew not where
the tempest had sent the body, we could no,

Caught in his Own Trap.

a girl young, Pisit!, ou' ao"'S az
gifted with an air of adorable candoi
lately presented herself before certain
Partisan lawyer.
Monsieur, j came to consult you upon
grave affair. want 10 oblige man
! love to marry me in spite of himself
How shall proceed
The gentleman of the bar had Of
course, u sufficient elastic conscience.-
He reflected moment, then being sure
that no third person overheard him re.
piled unhesitatingly: Mademoiselle ac'
cording 10 our law you always possess
the means of forcing man to marry
you. You must remain on three occa.
sions alone with him, then you can 60
before Judge and swear lhathe is your
lover
And that will suffice, Monsicurp
Yes Mademoiselle, with one farther
condition.
We'll?
THAT you will produce witnesses who
will make an oath to their having seen
you remain good quarter of an houl
with the individual said to have trifled
with your affections
Very well, Monsieur, ! will retain
you as counsel in tho management ol
this affair. Good day.
A few days afterwards The young girl
returned. She is mysteriously leceived
by the lawyer, who scarcely giving her
time to seat herself questions her with
the most lively curiosity.
We'll Mademoiselle, how do matters

Capital, capital
'Persevere in your design, Mudem.
oiselle but mind the next time you con.
suit me you must tell me the name oflhe
young man wo are going to render so
happy in spite ofhimself'
You shall have it without fail.
A fortnight afterwards the young per-
son more aaitc and candid than ever,
knocked discreetly at the door OF her
counsel's room. No sooner was she
within than she flung herself into chair
saying, that she had mounted the steps
too rapidly, and that the emotion made
her breathless. Hercounsel endeavor-
ed to re.assure her, and made her inhale
sails, andseyen proposed to release her
garments.
1t is useless, Monsieur said she, i
am much better.
We'll now tell me the name of the
fortunate mortal you are going to ex-
posel'
We'll, then, tho fortunate mortal, be
it known to you, is-yourself,' said the
young beauty, bursting into laugh.
i love you; have been three times tete-
a.tete with you, and my four witnesses
are below, ready and willing to accom-
pany me to the magistrate gravely con-
iinued the narrator.
The lawyer. thus fairly caught, had
the good sense not to get angry. The
most singular fact of all is that he udores
his young wife, who, by the way, makes
an excellent house keeper.

From Me Cumberland AReghanian.
Oh! Horrible Injustice.

Mr.. Editor:-Please allow US, through
your columns, to publish to the world our
abhorrence at tho course Of proceedings in
the case Of Cornelius johnson, before the
Grand Jury, for the murder Of our late es-
teemed fclloW.citizen, DR.. Jas. Fl. Conn,
whose demise we most deeply deplore.-
For on learning of the acquittal of Corne.
lius johnson, by the Grand Jury of our
county, who was arrested and held to bail
| in tho sum of nine thousand dollars for the
murder of said Conn, the people and citi-
zens of Oakland, Allegany County, Md,
became SO enraged and sxasperated at the
infamous outrage and injustice; in the first
place at the brutal and cowardly murder
perpetrated in our midst, as we honestly
and sincerely believe by the said johnson,
upon one Of our best, worthiest, and most
useful citizens, who raised himself from
comparative obscurity, to q prominent po:
sition in life, and whose voice and hand
was always in favor of everything that had
for its object the promotion and advance.
ment of the best interest of our place; and
secondly at the idea of the Grand Jury of
our county, as men of intelligence, on lis.
tening to such strong paroll Of circum.
stantial evidence as there was before them
in tho case, and feeling confident that they
must have believed said johnson guilty Of
said murder; we therefore on the evening
Of the 18th day of April, 1854, immedi-
ately after hearing Of said verdict, held up,
hung and exposed to public infamy and
disgrace, and finally burned in effigy the
foreman Of said Jury and two others that
We learned were in favor of acquitting said
johnson, and Mrs. johnson in their midst;
to the great qualification of tho ladies Of
our village. Having firm confidence that
the laws Of our land are based upon that
ever worthy and memorable law of God
that declares emphatically that whosoevcr
sheds mans blood, by man shall his blood
be shed; wo most confidently assert that
our faith in the enforcement Of this just
aud righteous law, nNthis case that justly
deserved capital punishment, has been de.
stroyed, and we think that we are safe in
saying to any one who may feel disposed to
imbrue his hands in his brothers blood, to
use his own inclination, as the Grand Jury
will find M hill against them.

Alas Thy ghostly company!
To thee what are they now?
Their Wondering breath as chill as death,
Their stern but asllen brow?
No cherry sunshine they can bring

D, for the swcctly solemn rest
The Sabbath rest ofyorc;
That calm and holy quiet
That visits us no more!
Our days arc filed with restless strife,
Our nights with yisioncd toll,
When the brain, o'crwcaricd mirrors still
Days sursing whirl and coil,
We hurry, body, soul and mind, .;lss5
Nor morn, nor eve give Ger, .,,
And none that walk the earth now knows
Tho sabbath.rcst Of wore.
! grant tho Sabbath day still come
Tho best of all the seven
To bid US lay carth's cares aside
And turn awhile 10 heaven.
We slowly tread the well.known way
That we for years have trod;
We gil the long familiar seat
Within the house Of God;
But fsvcrish care still rankles deep
Within the troubled breast,
Or pride or passion cheats the heart
or the old Sabbatli.rest.
II was not thus in oldcn days
When patriarchs talked with God,
Asgcntly in the morning,
They led their ilocks abroad;
Or when at dewyi eve they sat
In the tabernacle door,
With angels guests besides, to count
His thousand mercies DER. 4
For elk days then, with wholesome toll,
Each human hand was blcst;
The seventh wrapped the mighty earth
For sweetSabba th.rcst. rl,al
Nay worldly wise man check thy snccr!
Torbear thy mocking speech!
A truer love than thou hast learned
Alittle child can teach. .
What though thy pr,nccly halls, the need
ofpraisc and envy win,
Or costly idols proudly stand =

New COUNTERFEIT. Mr.. Lord, Of Lords
Detector, has shown us new one dollar
counterfeit, on the Jamestown branch of the
Indiana State Stock Bank We learn they
are issued with various numbers. The one
we have seen is ID very good imitation, but
is on coarser paper than the genuine, and
not so well engraved. The shade is also
darker. The vignette is wood scene, and
the mark on the chopped end of the fallen 10y,
is much longer than the genuine Gin.
