The bill in the case of Jones, the Colcheste,
bank defaulter, was reduced, by consent of the
States Attorney, to $500, on Thursday. and
on being called in court a forfeiture was declar.

the receivers of the bank S25. 600 which, with
the bond of $1,000, pays all the circulation. and
the receivers and States expenses. 1t is also
said that Jones gives security against making
any use of whatever bills he may have vet on

tinguished, under the supervision of Mr. Con-
ductor Aborn, who acted promptly and cooly.
It was fortunate that the fire had progressed SO
little, and it was especially lucky that it was ex-

The Cincinnati papers are great on sensitive
items" The latest in that line is in the Enoui-

rage in one of the churches, a crazy man en-
tered and called loudly for a knife with which
to sacrifice himself upon the altar. The En-
qulrer says that "the bride and her friends ,cere
frozen ,ciM horror" As the paper does not
state what become of the frozen parties, we
suppose they are awaiting the "spring thaw."

The best thing ever said on Douglas was by Sam
Houston About the days of the kansasNebraska
swindle an old Tennessee friend of Sans met him in
Washington and in the course Of conversation on
the great men of the country, the name of Douglas
was mentioned.
9 All poor Douglas, said Houston, che been sOt
back"
His friend not understanding the remark, the Tex
Senator proceeded to illustrate i by an aneedote
of the family of an old acquaintance Of theirs.
''The old gentleman made it a rule that his chill
dren should dine at side table until they were six
teen years Old at which age they We're permitted to
eat with the older members of the family On one
occasion visitor, who aware of the custom,
observed one of the boys, who he thought was Of
the requisite age eating at the side table, and asked
him if he was not sixteen years old. Yes said the
boy, i was sixteen some time ago, and the old man
let me come to his table; but there dish for
dinner that very fond of and instead Of wait
ing to be helped, L undertook to help myself, and
reached far and met with an accident and he sOt
me back two years"
Probably Mr.. Douglas supposes that his probation
