Sarah Goodwin was the name of poor
seamstress residing in the city of n. \ ork.
She was not wholly frendless, but those
whom she knew would have aided her in
her struggles, were very poor and could
not. SO she, widow with four boys,
from The ages of four TO nine years, slrug-

and it was toRchng to behold thcic SYM

coming years, for their thoughtful kind
ness toward their mother.
The widow recovered, but it was now

RICHMoND, Dec. l7.-No ltle interest
exists in our city at present, consequent
upon rumors OF nsurreetionary movements,

is, in fact, no sort of foundaliou for such

Correspondence of the Louisville Journal0
CAMPBELLsvILLE, Taylor county, Ky,
Dec. l0.-A negro boy, owned by a gen.
tleman in this vicinity, disclosed to his
master plot on the part of the negroes in
the neighborhood to rise in rebellion about
the Christmas holidays.
Several arrests of negroes implicated in
the affair were made, and an examination
was held before Judge Cloyd on the 9th
instant. Nothing, however, was elected,
further than the statement of tire boy, to
the effect that he had overheard them in
conversation say that they intended 10
have car with the whites during Christ
mas. At another time, the boy was invi-
ted to join with them, and the promise
made that they would make him rich.-
Further arrests will probably be made,
with a view to elicit more facts, the proof
in the first case not being deemed sufficient
to warrant further proceedings.

Curious UoT Irap.-The Hartford
Times says: A very ingenious and appa-
renty efactual contrivance for CATCHING
and killing wolves, foxes, &c, has been
invented by Frederick Reuthe, OF this civ.
workman at Colts pistol factory. 1t is
small and compact, being hardly ten inch
es long. and it works with much precision
Two steel iron cases, are provided with
four barbed points, upon which the bait is
fixed. The little thing is completed by
two small steel tubes or pistol barrels run
ming lengthwise with the case on either
side, and provided with cones for percus-
sion caps.
When the animal seizes the meat. he
pulls out the two prongs upon which it is
fastened, and in doing SO opens them bv
powerful spring, thus forcing his laws
wide apart, and holding them firmly bv
the cruel, barbed points, while at the same
instant both barrels are simultaneously
fired down his throat. 1t finishes him
completely. Even without the pistol shots
20 wolf could get away with those barbed
points in his jaws. An experiment. tried
on dog succeeded admirably. The in
ventor goes to Canada with his trap to
sell 1t IN that wolf-swarming region.

AND THEIR CUNSE-
OIENCE

seems marked by its own peculiar vices,
pretty much as different diseases seem to
rage with increased fairy aud maIigniry al
different periods. Crime seems TO be a
mania, coming as epidemicalIy as does The
yellow fever or the small pox. In one
generation 1t is murder by knocking out
peoples brains with swords and clubs in
another generation poison is the favorite
mode. At some times the Dew shows
his mastery over the minds of his follow
ers by making them set fire TO the barns
and houses of those who offend them. At
one time drunkenness reigns uncontrolled
and at another libertinism is largely in the
ascendant. SO goes the world, and it
seems that all the labors Of the living
preacher and aid the thunders of the press
result in nothing more than in changing
the direction Of the torrent of evil.
The ruling vice Of the present period
seems TO be, IN GRE shape er other, FRAUD,
When, within the range of the recorded
experience of mankind, did rascaily aud
want Of faith in money matters So extern
sively prevail 1t would almost appear
as if the race of honest men was extinct.
Put man in position where he becomes
the custodian of other peoples money,
and no matter what his previo&s character
may have been. in few years il is more
than an even chance that he turns out
delauller, runs off to some distant part OF
the world, or if caught, jury, feeling in
themselves an innate sympathy with The
crime, whitewash the offender and turn
him loose again upon the community TO
run the same career over again, ii anybody
caa be fepnd foolish enough 10 trust him
another time.
And this vice is not coniaej 10 enc siU~
gle locality. Nothing, except the cl.oleca,
has ever equaIIed the extent of country
over which ii prevails. In England every
body seems infected with it. Since the
pious Sir Paul Bates and his equally pious
associates swindled half the orphans and
widows of London out of their incomes,
scarcely a steamship that has crossed the
Atlantic but has brought us the news that
some other graceless scamp, with fair
outside show Of character, has been squan-
| dering the money of those who trusted
! him by hundreds of thousands. Redpalh
is the last prominent instance there. Like
! all the resi- OF his class, he was very lib
eral mana munifcent and magnificent
! fellow. Nobody subscribed larger amounts
/ for missions to convert the healhen than
himself, and at building churches he was
uurivallod. We don't know whether he
ever presented cathedral wiki chime Of
bells or not, but at any rate he wxs church
warden. Most men of his description are
generally great OR churches.
Here let us no! be misunderstood. We
find fault with no man for doing the good
deeds above mentioned, when done with
their own money and from pure motives
We are only tearing the disguise from
