Conviction or shuslsr alias Hand.

Jacob Shuster alias Tom Hand, who has
spNt some thirty years of his life in prison,
was again convicted in Philadelphia, on Fri.
day last. lie was charged with forging a
bank note plate Of the Bank Of Delaware
county, Pa, and $40 note on the same insti-
tuition. The Inquirer says:
Among the number who closely watched
the progress Of the trial, were three daugh-
tiers of the defendant. They were genteel,
intelligent looking ladies, aud demoaued
themselves with marked dignity and respect
towards the court. During the last stage of
the trial they were near their father, who
was confined in the dock, as if to protect him
from the power Of the evidence Of guilt
which seemed to overwhelm him. When the
jury returned to court they were near him,
and with fearful eyes and palpitatipg hearts
waited the result of the verdict, which they
dared not hope would be one Of not guilty.
When it was announced, deep cry Of an
guish escaped them, and "Oh, pray, forgive
him." was the only plea offered in his be-
half. They chung foudly about bis neck,
and though be was stamped as felon, and his
character black With his crimes, yet to those
loving children it was pure and spOtless."

sisted princip, lily Of wharVcs, piers and slips
and brought Sis. $50 Mr.. Lowbcr's claim
against the city was $I9S.OO0 which, with
sumo $50, 900 interest, makes the sum due
