OF A man by the name OF Farrell, former
ly resident of New Albany, shipped guam
tty of powder in St. Louis the other day, and
in order to save the extra freight on the article
put it into bacon hossheads and shipped it as
bacon. The mate placed it near the boilers;
being a passenger himself on the boat the
shipper didn't like the place of storage and I'M
dertook to remove it of his own authority; a
quarrel with the mate was the consequence;
which was followed by discovery of the
fraud. He was taken before magistrate, fined
several hundred dollars for violating the city
ordinance, and was imprisoned beside; which
made his attempted concealment an expensive
piece Of economy.

OF 1t may not be generally known that
Mr.. Baker, says the Boston Post, the father
in-aw OF the coachman, is a gentleman Of un-
usual taste and culture, and that he has shown
no selfish or exclusive feeling in the pursuit
of his studies A large part Of his income has
for years been devoted to the encouragement
Of the fine arts, and it is to his liberality that
the people Of New York, and the neighboring
cities, are indebted for the admirable collec-
tons of the master pieces Of the Dusseldorf
school Of painting. of which he is the principal
owner. The pertinacity. therefore, with which
he opposed the wishes of his daughter to mar
ry man who had not been fitted by previous
education and habits for his new social rela-
tons, does not indicate the mercenary charac-
ter which has been ascribed to him.
