A WoLF AxoNo THE LAnBs.--The Cincin-
natl Enquirer Of "Wednesday contains an ex-
position Of series of villainies petpetrated
in that vicinity by reverend irhp6ster by the
name Of John III. Wilson. The preacher had

ried bellies. Some of them had advanced
him money to purchase articles Of housekeep-
ing. We quote the concluding part Of the
story:
The manner which led to the discovery Of
Wilson's multifarious engagements was, that
o couple Of the betrothed met by accident in
a fashionable dry goods establishment in this
city. After mutual recognition, they procee-
ded to examine various fabrics, and make
purchases for the approaching nuptials. In
the course of conversation, they made mutual
confessions of the contemplated marriage, and
discovered they were engaged to the same
man. A fainting exhibition OF course follow
ed The disconsolate damsels returned with
out their purchases to the quiet village, where
they speedily proclaimed the villany Of the
rascally pastor, who, getting wind that all
was discovered, made tracks between two
days during the past week.
Since his exit, it has been discovered that
he sometime ago forged draft on Mr.. Elliot
of the Methodist Book Concern, which was
honored. No tidings have been heard Of him
since his disqualification, but we presume he
will turn up under another name, when he
can discover convenient field to reap har-
vest, by playing upon the credulity OF the
susceptible feminines who have peachant
for love and sanctity.

= IRoS WALLs.-The New York Journal OF
Commerce speaks favorably of an iron wall,
designed as substitute for bricks in build
, ings. 1t says:
, "Tbe pieces employed are ingeniously
shaped so as to secure lghtness with great
, strength, apparently, and the wall thus con
: structed may be easily taken in pieces and
,, re-erected, with comparatively little labor
, and expense. The most striking peculiarly
is. that the plates Of iron used in forming
walls are connected without bolts"
