How TIE Sun CAUGHT THIEF IN THE Act.
Five or six days ago, says a late Paris paper, NJ.
y. photographer, allured by the bri right
ness Of the sun and the softneSs Of the air,
provided himself with necessary baggage and
fastened to FOntainebleau, TO t..ke views in the
forest lie Installed in Il very picturesque quar-
ter, erected his apparatus, prepared his plates,
opened his ObJect-glass, and enyelOpiDg at once
his ease and his head in a large dark and fuctu-
rant veil, set himself to the task of seizing the
object in view. lie had just taken out his proof
from the dark chamber, and was su bjectiDg 1t to
chemical reactions, when a stIong hand was
placed on hls shoulder. lie turned round hastl-
ly and found himself in presence OF u species OF
giants meanly attired, who, by gesture and
voice, demanded bis pure. NJ. X--is not a
hercules, and, from the first glance cast toward
MS adversary, he Concluded that all resistance
was useless. lie therefore politely offered his
purse, which was accepted with thankfuiness.
The robber bowed, and. leaving him to his re-
sIgnatlon, went into the depths Of the forest.
Poor -, meditating, on his sad lot, re-
mained some time mOtionless his looks were
mechanically set On his Photographic proof: he
mused upon il with diverted and unconcerned
eye suddenly What is this ," exclaimed he;
= what is the human form in this coppic, under
the shade of this oak! Heaven should
believe my eyes 1t is him, it is my robber
perfectly deliLelted, and very easy to be recog
nized. % Proyidencei u divine sun, my co
IaLorer, how well you do things :" On his re
turn he repaired to the police commissioner
at Fonialnebleau, related his adventure, ex
hiblted his prOof-plate and the malefac tor
likeness Next day, with the aid of this sing
niar description, the robber was arrested!

How STORY GRows.-The Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin gives the following picture of
how an excitement was got up in that city the
other day
Somebody, yesterday, happened to refer to
the calamity Of two years ago, on the North
Pennsylvania Railroad, by which so many per-
sons OF an excursion party lost their lives.
Somebody else remarked that an excursion par
ty had gone yesterday, down the Baltimore
Railroad. Somebody else observed that it was
just such hot day as the fatal one of June
1856, and somebody else said what a dreadful
thing it would be if a collision should occur
and how particularly dreadful. if the collision
should occur on Gray's Ferry Bridge.
passer-by heard something about collision
on Grays Ferry Bridge, and repeated the story
1t passed from one 10 another, and spread oye1
town like a cOnhagratiOn, augmenting in terror
a it spread, till at last we were informed about
half past two clock, that two trains of cars had
met on Gray's Ferry Bridge; that the Bridge
broke down, that five cars, crowded with pas
sengers, had gone into the Schuylkill, and thai
Il fearful number of lives were lost-some said
fOrtt five, others sixty, while others made il
one hundred and ten. Other informants saiC
the dead bodies were piled along the road fo
some distance, while the number Of wounded
was enormous.
The effects of this frightful story were aston
ishing. Third street, and the newspaper Offices
were in instant commOtion. Reporters for af
rnoon papers, who had no time to go to th'
scene Of disaster, rushed hither and thither
consulting and inquiring of everybody, while
a number belonging to morning papers depart
ell instantaneOusly to Gray's Ferry, to get th
full particulars, with names of the killed ant
wounded and the narrowing details of this un
precedented calamity. The Southwestern par
of the town was in great excitement, and car
| riages and omnibuses went crowded with people
eager to offer assistance or to ascertain if thei
| children or friends were among the victims
