ARREST OF AN ALLEGED FUGITIVE SLAVE.
The Philadelphia Bulletin of Saturday contains
the following particulars Of the arrest of flu.
gitive slave in Harrisburg, who was taken to
Philadelphia for disposition:
"The alleged fugitive upon his arrival in
the city was taken to the office of the United
States Commissioner, at Fifth and Chestnut
streets, with his wrists encased in handouts.
He told us that his name is Daniel Webster,
that he is about twenty-five years of age and
that he has been living at Harrisburg for nine
years past, where he was employed at fence
making He said, with tears in his eyes, that
he had wife living at Harrisburg that he
had two children, the last of whom was bu-
ried yesterday week. He said that he had
many friends at Harrisburg, and that if lie
could have been tried there, he could prove his
right to liberty but at so greata distance from
home, and among strangers, he had no chance.
lie was arrested while attending market, at
halfpast six O'Clock this morning on pretence
that he had committed some crime
The alleged fugitive is claimed by a party
in Virginia. who says that he escaped from
bondage six years ago Daniel, upon the 9TH
er hand, declares that if he was at Harrisburg
he could prove that he had lived there nine
years. He is a good-looking, stalwart man,
with an inoffensive countenance. This is the
first case under the fugitive slave law in Phil
adelphia for several years"

THE Mock SUNs.-The Boston Journal
contains the following notice of the phenome-
non of Saturday, as it appeared in that city.
From the initials appended 70 the communica-
ton, we presume it is from the fertile pen of
DIR. Shurtlef 1t is evident that the scene
was far less imposing at Boston than in this
place, as no notice is made, either of the zone
encircling the heavens with the two tenders
or mock parhelia, or of the brilliant crescent,
Festing ON the summit of the halo The halo,
too, was perfect here
Magnificent appearance IN de Heavens.--On
the afternoon of Saturday last the I'd of
April, phenomenon of the sun, of very rare
occurrence in the latitude of Boston, and
somewhat unusual even in places of more
Northerly position, was observable in the
Western sky, in. an extraordinary degree of
splendor. The appearance was that Of two
mock suns, together with a magnificent halo
of light, exhibiting in different degrees of
brightness the several colors of the. rainbow
These suns, which form a beautiful as well as
rare phenomenon, are called by astronomers
parheha, from their apparent proximity to the
true sun which causes them, while in the COM
mon language of the unnitiated, for the same
reason, they are designated as sun dogs They
have always been noticed by ancient writer's.
as great wonders, and by modern scholars, as
remarkable occurrences
On the occasion of last Saturday afternoon,
the halo was almost perfect, the part nearest
the horizon being the least bright but the
whole, however, displayed the primitive colors
exquisitely. The two mock suns were hori-
zontaly situated at the right and left of the
sun, as viewed by the eye, and were exceed.
ingy luminous, especially on the side of each
nearest that luminary. Their hue was ex-
ceedingly rich In colors-brilliant in the center
of each, more red near the sun, but some
what subdued in the opposite direction. From
each of the suns proceeded in horizontal d.
recfion and from the sun, large rays Of paer
tint, presenting III a degree the resemblance Of
comets. The sight continued visible several
hours, and was productive Of great interest to
those who were fortunate enough 10 behold the
strange spectacle.

REPUBLICAN TRIUMPH IN CONNECTICUT.

The telegraph reports that the Republicans
have carried Connecticut, electng all their
candidates for Congress, their State ticket, and
amajority of the Legislature. This is good
news, better than some expected.
In the first Congressional District, LOOMS
succeeds by small plurality, Clark diverting
from him about 30 votes. Clark was never
fit to be a Congressman, and the more he ex-
hibits himself in public, the smaller he seems.
Ferry is 'triumphantly elected, in the fourth
district, and John Woodruff in the second,
making it certain that Messrs. Bishop and Ar
mold, the Lecomptonites, will stay at home for
the general ediication. The election of Burn
ham in the second district has not been doubt
ed Good for old Connecticut! May her
shadow never be less
For several years past the Connecticut cleo
tons have been very warmly contested. FIRE.
quently the vote has been very close, and sell
dom has either party gone into the contest
without hope of success. There was a time
during the palmy days of the Wing party,
when the Democrats seldom dreamed of elect
ing Governor in Connecticut, and when they
generally confined themselves to satisfaction
with minor successes, such as the election of
one or two of the Congressman and a respecta
Bile minority of the Legislature
Then the Wings were sure of great MAORI
ties in Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport and
most of the other populous towns. Laws
against the liquor traffic, and more especially
the movements in behalf of the Maine Law,
gradually changed this state of things, until,
finally, the Democrats were able to outvote the
Wings in such places as Hartford and New
Haven, where rum was popular, and elect their
candidate for Governor.
They elected Col. Seymour, several years
in succession; and their party was altogether
the strongest and most efficient, until Presi-
dent Pierce with his policy in regard to Kan
zas broke down his party in New Hampshire
and Maine, and either destroyed or weakened
it everywhere else in the free States.
The result of the present election in Connec-
ticut shows that the democratic party is weak
er than it was last year, and that it has no
reasonable hope of recovering very soon the
strength it has lost Wise effort and manly
fidelity to their principles, will give the Re-
publicans the next presidential election.

THE sICKLEs TRIAL.

The trial of Daniel E. Sickles, for the MUIR
der of Philip Barton Key, began yesterday at
Washington. Particulars of the trial are Civ.
en- by telegraph; and there seem to be arrange
ments for reporting it very fully. 1t has been
rumored, that, as the case progresses, some
very exciting developments will be made, and
that the gossips will have feast of very re-
markable richness. This rumor may or may
not be trne. The friends of Mr.. Key will
very naturally attempt to lessen the weight of
obloquy that has been heaped on his reputa-
ton; and in this attempt they may not regard
It as tler special duty to spare Mrs. Sickles
If the trial take this turn, the report of it may
be entertaining to all those who usually find
entertainment in scandal mongers, but it will
be very unwholesome.
No such stories of crime can leave us as
they find u.s. While we listen to them and are
stirred by their exciting details, we take
impressions from them; they are felt in
our blood and along our nerves, as well
as in our thoughts and sympathies; they
leave their traces everywhere, and add greatly
to the influences whereby men become either
better or worse. Therefore such contact with
great and scandalous crimes is very serious
matter. 1t is unfortunately the fashion of the
present time to give very minute reports of all
cases of exciting wickedness as soon as they
get public attention; but the fashion is not
good one. 1t is sustained now by popular
taste for such things. Popular influence can
change it, and we trust that the day is not dis
tant when the change shall be effected
But so long as we must have stories of
crime fully reported, with all the details, not
even excepting or abridging the filthiest, we
may at least demand fair and truthful reports,
free from vicious colorings, and with some
thing like fair estimate Of the character and
conduct of the persons who are thus made no.
torious. Let us not tolerate any method of
procedure by which one bad man is doubly
blackened and doubly damned, in order that
another bad man may seem to be gallant and
heroic knight, entitled to aspire to angelhood,
and perhaps earning divine right to search
for the Holy Grail If we must see such
things at all, let us see them truly, and have
our own impressions and emotions tempared
and regulated by a correct and wholesome
Judgment.

AFFECTING INrERyIEw-A Scene of Scr
ro'o, Repentance, and Reaorse.-A day or two
since, Stephen j. McGroarty, Esq counsel for
John Kahn, now in prison awaiting new trial
for killing Singleton, the seducer Of one of his
daughters, succeeded in effecting reconcilia-
ton between the father and his two girls, also
IN Jail charged with larceny-to whom their
parent had not spoken since the domestic
tragedy, more tnan two years ago,
BY the kindness of the jailor the daughters
were allowed to visit their father in his cell,
when most affecting interview took place
the girls falling on his neck and weeping like
children, while from the eyes of the stern,
strong man who had slain the vile destroyer of
his child's honor, and had known her to fall
step by step to degradation and despair, the
great tears ran like rain-the agony of heart
wrung by affiiction and agonized by terrible
suffering TO woman's tenderness.
For some minutes no one OF that trio spoke.
Sobs checked their utterance, and the memory
OF the fearful past awed them into silence.
Their sorrow melted them to sympathy, and
love and grief, remorse and repentance, filled
their hearts to bursting. In that moment they
were purified in that hour their errors were
blotted out by tie tears of deepest contrition,
and atolement made to nature and themselves.
AT last one of the girls, the dishonored and
avenged, fell at her fathers feet, and said, with
still streaming eyes:
30, father, dearest father, can you forgive
me?"
eyes, yes, my child, with all my heart, "
was the solemn and impressive answer, ''as l
hope to be forgiven"
Then both his daughters knelt and received
his blessing, and a moment after he was by
their side offering up a prayer for strength to
resist temptation and avoid evil in the future.
The father embraced them tenderly again and
again, and assured them of his entire forgive
ness, while they promised amendment and re-
form, and resolved to seek comfort and support
in the faith their parent recently sought.
The scene as witnessed was extremely
pathetic, and such as our plain pencil cannot
paint. Several who witnessed the reconcilia-
ton were, in spite of themselves, melted to
tears, and left the cell with better opinion OF
human nature which, however it may err, is
always held by a golden though invisible
thread to its native Cincinnati En-
quirer.

A MAN COMING TO LIFE AT HIS Own
FUNERAL.-In Orange, N. j., week before last,
man named John KOCH while engaged in
painting on the third story of house, fell to
the ground and was taken up for dead. He
was conveyed to his residence, laid out, and
his afflicted relatives and friends in due time
proceeded to make the usual arrangements for
the funeral which was appointed for Sunday.
Shortly before the hour appointed on that
day, the body exhibited signs OF returning ami
nation, and in a few moments afterward. to
the establishment of all, the young man in the
coffin, who was, of course, believed to be dead,
was able to converse with his friends. 1t is
singular case, and the mans escape from being
buried alive was truly miraculous. The ply
sicians, however, pronounce his present condi-
ton as extremely critical, and it is doubted
whether he may survive the injuries sustained
by the fall.

BANK NoTEs.-The alteration of the de-
nomination of bank notes is carried on so ex-
tensively by counterfeiters that the public will
gladly welcome any plan that will effectually
prevent further operations in this line. Mr..
Geo d. Lyman, manager of the New York
Clearing House, has devised a plan for this
purpose, which is thus described:
The note is printed on a piece of paper OF
about the same size as that in ordinary use.
The note proper, however, is on the right side,
and occupying portion only of the paper,
varying in size according to the denomina-
ton, and separated from the remainder by a
clearly defined line, in which is inscribed the
mathematical proportion the particular denom-
nation note bears to the whole paper, as de-
fined in the following inscription at the left of
each:
"LYMAN's PRoTEcTIoN.-Bankno note on the
right end. One dollar covers one-third of the
paper. Two dollars, one-half, Three dollars,
two-thirds. Five dollars, three-fourths."

CoLoRED PEOPLE INVITED TO HAYTI.-
The Feuille du Commerce, a Haytien paper,
extends the following invitation to the black
race scattered through North and South
America:
''Hayti is the common country of the black
race. Our ancestors, in taking possession of
it, were careful to announce in the constitution
that they published, that all the descendants of
Africans, and of the inhabitants of the West In
dies, belong to the Haytien family The idea
was grand and generous.
Listen then, all you negroes and mulattoes,
who, in the vast continent of America suffer
from the prejudices of caste The Republic
calls you; she invites you to bring to her your
arms and your minds. The regenerating work
that she undertakes interests all colored peo-
pie and their descendants, no matter what their
origin, or where their place of birth"

In BED WITH A RATTLEsNAKE.-Abou five
weeks ago, says tie Peoria Union, two child
rem Of Mr.. Jacob Schell, the one aged nine and
the other four years, becoming very weary
from the excessive heat, lay down on the bed
shortly after dinner, and were soon fast asleep.
Some time AFTER Mrs. Schell went to the bed
to replace some of the covering which had be-
come misplaced, when a horrible sight met
her eye-the head of huge rattlesnake pro-
jecting from between the children, and its body
in close proximity to theirs. Mrs. Schell was,
of course, much frightened, but the providen-
tial arrival of two men, who, with much pres
ence of mind, quietly removed the children
from either side of the bed at the same time,
without alarming the snake, undoubtedly
saved their lives. His snakeship was then
unceremoniously dispatched. Il proved to be
a very large one, with six rattles in its tail.
How he got there is a mystery.

A New WAY TO RAISE THE WIND.-A new
swindling operation has just come to light in
Egremont which causes a deal of excitement
there. II appears that Ezra Winchell, who
has been collector of that town for the past fif-
teen years, has been in the habit for the last
three years Of copying off the list Of tax pay
ers given him by the assessors, and instead of
placing against the names Of the right amount,
he placed from one to eight dollars to each
man more than his tax really was, and collect
ed and pocketed the advances. He has in this
way swinded the people Of Egremont out Of
about $500 a year.
