Arrest OF A FoRGEH--Somc time since, a
man named Ransom T. Arnold was accused OF
forgery to tic amount Of Sll00, at Pen IAN,
New York. The proofs were strong against
him, and he fed to Minnesota. whittier he was
pursued, after being indicted, by Mr.. Dennng,
one of the sufferers by the transaction, who ar
rived here few days since. Officer Farmer,
Deputy Sheriff of Ramsey County, getting on
the track of the criminal made it his business,
with warrant in his pocket from Gov. Cor
man, issued upon rcquisition from the Cover
nor of New York-to visit Traverse dies Sioux,
where he found the gentleman last Saturday,
resting in that easy security which is imagined
to exist among our frontier settlements, and in
a very unict but determined manner walked
him on board the Black Hawk, which was pass
ing down about that time. Upon his arrival at
St. Paul, Arnold was handed over to his pur-
sucr, and rather reluctantly took passage en-
the Admiral ycsterday--en route for the scene
of his illegal transactions.
TIE BERLrN.--Under the new order OF things
recently consummatcd with the Government
officers and the lumbcrmen. the steamer Berlin
has been discharged from Government service
rhe Galcna Jeffersonian, OF Saturday, thus no
tees her arrival at that port:--
"The short-horned. pot-bellicd. slow-running
steamer Berlin, late under command of Com
modorc Estes, of the United States lumber seiz-
ing service, was in port yesterday. She is about
to engage in a more laudable business, her late
Commodore having been arrested in his mad
career by the determination OF the authori-
ties at Washington, to take other steps than
those lately pursued. to protect their timber
lands. This determination loses the govern
ment a very industrious officer, kDocks the Bcr-
lin out of contract by which her owners were
making fifty dollars day, and relieves lumber
men of the necessity Of committing homicide in
defence of themselves and their property for
all of which we should be profoundly thankful.
We would suggest to our Representative in
Congress, the propriety of obtaining from the
proper Office at Washington, balance sheet,
setting forth in good commercial style, the re-
ceipts and expenditures--the profit and loss
of the Berlin s cruise. The curiosity ofthe pub
lie on this point should be gratfed.'
