of reverend rascal, whose exploits, as related,

Last autumn, there appeared in Henniker, New
Hampshire, man calling himself Rev G. n Ad-
ANS, about 80 years of age whose proiessed OBJ
lect was TO stir up the people oftha section of the
Granite state TO proper sense of the value of re-
ligion, education. and temperance. He represent
ed himself as clergyman in the Methodist Epis-
copal church, in regular standing, and exhibited
credentials 10 that effect.
AT meetings for prayer he was particularly ex-
ercised; but, with all his devotion TO spiritual af-
fairs he did not wholly lose sight of worldly ones,
since he soon commenced paying his addresses 10
| daughter of the resident congregational minister
of the place whose affections he won and whose
peace of mind and reputation he succeeded in de-
stroyng. To do this, however, he had promised
marriage TO his victim, and made ostentatous
preparations for the nuptial ceremonies. While
he was thus pursuing his schemes of villany. he
anected great abstemousness in diet--was much
troubled with dyspepsia; but took care TO make
frequent visits to Concord, where he made ample
amends for his abstinence by free indulgence in
champaigne and oysters. While aboring for the
good OF souls" in Henniker, his expenditures

While thus engaged he became ACQUAINTED with
Mrs. Emma O.. Templeton whose husband and
one child Were killed at the Norwalk bridge catas-
trophe in May. For this sad bereavement, She
was awarded $4,000 by the railroad comnanv and
word was sent that The money would be paid in
the city of New York. OF course a circumstance.
like this would not be likely TO escape the coeni-
zance OF the REV. G. N. Adams and he volun-

he drew the money, put il in his pocket and sud-
denly disappeared from public view.

he had ruined, and was about TO abandon. In the
afternoon he grew waggsh, as his selection Of

named Smith, and who was residing in Chautauoue

Narrow Escape from Death.-During the
after-part of last Saturday night, Mrs Nathaniel
Gailup, who resides in Washington street, awoke
with consciousness of strange sensations and
severe headache. She immediately aroused her
| husband and complained TO him about her head
acne, and OF strange sensations, and then rose TO
open the window for fresh air; but before she sue
ceeded IN opening the window, she swooned and
fell to the floor almost lfeless. Her husband sud
denly sprang 10 her assistance, found her pulse
less, and Immediately used all possible means for
the purpose OF bringing her to, and as he thought
she was raying, feeling strangely faint himself
he endeavored TO open the door and cry for help,
but the exertion was too much for him, and he
fell before accomplishing his purpose. In the
mean time, and while he thus lay on the floor,
Mrs. Gallup had SO far recovered as to be able to
open the door and cry for help. The inmates Of
the house soon came TO their relief and being
| shocked at the disabled condition and death-like
appearance of their landlord and landlady, sent
forthwith for Dr. Thompson, opened the windows
and doors, and removed the patients from their
sleepng-room to the parlor The doctor, arriving
Immediately, ascribed their sad condition and
death-like appearance to inhalation Of gas arising
from the combustion of Lehigh coal Suitable
remedies were promptly administered, and we are
happy to say that Mr.. and Mrs. Gallup are ont of

Interesting from EurOpe.-The New York
Times has private advices from London that the
revolutionary committees there have effected or
ganzations for revolutionary outbreak in all the
continental countries, as active hostilities
between Russia and the allied powers render
peace improbable. As an outbreak in Poland
however, i is said, is not likely TO dsplease the
western cabinets, democratic rising is to take
place immediately throughout Russian Poland
and particularly in Warsaw. This outbreak, the
informant OF the Times says has probably ere this
taken place. The following is also added:
.Ihe military authorities in Pennsylvania and
some parts of Hungary have ordered the instan-
taneous surrender of all the scythes and pointed
instruments that could be used as weapons al the
outbreak Of the dreaded insurrection. The garri
sons OF the fortresses are almost doubled all over
the country, and marshalaw prevails with un-
mltgated severity. AT Hermanstadt, twenty
seven more persons were condemned to imprison-
ment for from ten to twenty years. A young
lady, convicted of sending letters from exiIes ha,
been sentenced 10 six years Imprisonment
Post Office Frauds.-Complaints have been
frequent Of late among the business firms Of New
York, of the failure OF their letters containing in
some cases, drafts, checks, orders for goods and
bank notes. The great number of these COM
plants, and the fact that many Of the missing lei
lers contained nothing OF value, induced the be-
lief that the roguery was carried on by persons
outside the office. Accordingly strict lookout
was kept, and on Friday man who was seen to
call twice for the letters of two different firms
was arrested, and upon being taken TO the post
masters room, made full confession OF his ras-
cality, stating that he had been The habit of calling
for and receiving the letters of various firms for
some time past, and appropnating TO his own use
whatever OF value they might contain. Business
men should always exercise care in the mode Of
obtaining letters from the office. They should as
far as possible have but one person. and that
individual, 10 take their letters from
the box.--Boston Cour.
