eF- The Wateison, (Wisconsin) Democrat of February 18th gives the following account oi D new mode oftraveling to the West by means of a cottage or rUnherS:
 Last Saturday our attention was attracted to rather strange looking vehicle for this part of Wisconsin in 1855, where railroads are about 1o nterseet each other Quite fair sized house was observed to be slowly moving through our streets, drawn by four pair of heavy stout oxen. i1 was' m fact, a pioneers dwelling, with its furniture and group of inmates, on journey to some new place of residence-iu some secluded wiio"ood, miles away from any other human hao.'anon. A pipe-chmney arose above the roof out of which volume of smoke was rol- ing. The interior was divided into rooms.- Around the fire some half dozen young heads were crowding, for it was pretty cold, while the wife was discharging her domestic duties, appa- rently engaged in getting dinner The sturdy and adventurous head of this emigrant establish ment was attending to the outdoor business walking beside his patient cattle and urging them forward as fast as possible, seemingly ap- prehensve that the sleighing mi ght fail before he reached his destination.

Adventures of a Forger-Kissaness Detec
 ton and Arrest.

ton and Arrest.
 | Last evening Sergant Hogan, of the chiefs office, arrived in town, having in custody Will liam kissane, who has obtained considerable notoriety in consequence of his connection with series of crimes perpetrated during the past five or six years. Since the forgery of check of S14, 900 on the Chemical Bank in this city, the paying teller of the bank, Mir Parsons, has been unceasing in his efforts to aid the police in ferretting out the forgers. It appears there were three old offenders engaged in the forgery, viz: William Kissane, John Findlay, and Ly- man Cole, all of whom are now confined in the Tombs and will probably be tried in the court of general sessions during the present term.
 Some months ago. Findlay and Cole were ar- rested and brought to this city, charged with the forgery, and have been imprisoned. Ks- sane received nearly every dollar that was paid by the bank teller to one of the confederates. As before stated, Kissanc was arrested in Cin- cnnat and while proceeding to New York, in custody of Marshal Ruffin, of Ohio, and officer Reed, of this city, he made his escape by leap- ing from the cars on the Erie railroad. near Hornelsville, while the trains was under rapid headway. dispute subsequently, arose be- tween the western marshal and officer Reed, in relation to the culpability of parties who permitted the escape to occur. The mystery is however, explained by the prisoner himself, in the following language:
 |" l saw the cards as published by the two officers, and Ruffin's was untrue. Officer Reed was asleep, and Marshal Rufin conducted me to the water closet of the car. Iwent in, shut the door, and the window being open, jumped out and made for the woods.'
 We give the above statement uerbatlna, as it was made to officer Hogan by Kissane in his cell, and thus far it will be seen that officer Reed was entirely blameless It appears that Kssane travelled on foot to Rochester, where he found an old friend, and was secretly conveyed ro the house of an English farmer at Clarence Hollow, Erie county, New York. Atthis point Kissane made his headquarters, worked daily at farm inc, and finally venturcd to visit Buffalo in the guise of huckster, and sold several loads of produce at the public market. Atlength he sent MT. Sparrow (he farmoD to Buffalo, with a lot of $2O bills on the International Bank to get changed for smallnot The /" $2Os" were Sus- pected as counterfeits, and Sparrow was forth with placed in custody to answer.
 He, however, told plain story, and upon in- formation to the authorities that he had received the bills from man who was stopping at his house in the " Hollow" officers were disparch- ed to the premises, and to their surprise, found the fugitive who had long been looked for It was ascertained that Kissane had passed under the assumed name of Lynch at this place, and having made "confident'' of Mr. Sparrow's wife, he placed in her possession $65OO, Gall in . $500 issues of the Chemical Bank, that were
 paid on the false check for safe keeping, but 7 became frightened and handed over the funds

The Biblical and Historical Knowledge of
 the Mayor of Philadelphia.


 They are having good deal of fun in the Quaker city over the ludicrous historical and Biblical blunders made by their mayor COWARD. in an address which he delivered at Independ- - ence Hall on the twenty-second of February. The following extract shows the profound at tention and careful study of the scriptures oi mayor COWARD:
 |" It would be strange-a libel on nature-if we of Philadelphia were not proud of Mis HaU and its memories. We recall our fathers as they thronged this floor. We knit our hearts to theirs in the tug of the revolution. We live in their trials, and we share their feelings; fight their battles and swear eternal fidelity to their principles. This is but the reverence of the child for the parent. We acknowledge even a profounder feeling of exultation over the coun- sells and deeds that have made this the holiest spot, save one, of all the earth-the SINAI of the world, upon which the Ark of Liberty rest ed, when all the earth beside was subnaerqea in oppression and submission.''
 The learned @ mayorh has confounded Mount Sinai, whre the ten commandments were given to MosEs, with Mount Ararat where the Ark rested when the deluge had submerged the world. The Philadelphia mayor should be im- medately presented with copy of the Holy Scriptures by the Bible Society The mayors acquaintance with our revolutionary history is equally remarkable. In the course of his ad- dress we find the following sentence:
 "There sat Hancock-from that side (of h. dependence HalD broke the thunderbolts of Patrick Henry!"
 PATRICK HENRY was not member of the old Revolutionary Congress that held its session in Independence Hall at all and the {" thunder bolts' alluded to by the appropriately named knownothing mayor emanated from the House of Burgesses in Nirginia.-Cln Enquirer.
