traordinary reason that editors are exempt from
physicians fees "a new rule OF practice, we
apprehend. Certainly, generosity equal, at the
usual rates of professional fee, to $500, deserves
most grateful mention. We know of no member
of the Faculty in this State more esteemed for

The Arrest of CounfeiterS IN Washington
and Philadelphia.-lt has already been men
toned that two men, named Warder and
Shaw, had been arrested in Washing ton city,
and two others named Tarr and Conner, in
Philadelphia, charged with being concerned
in passing spurious gold and silver coin in
the District of Columbia. These arrests
were effected through the vigilance of indie
pendent policemen Allen, Wise and Kimball,
of Washington 1t appears they had also
previously taken into custody Jno. P. Stone,
of Washington, whose frequent visits to Phl-
ladelphia excited their suspicion.-On hi
ey was found. This was on Wednesday last.
He was taken before Justice Donn, who held
him In $4,000 to appear before the criminal
court. The Star says:
"Stone then made statement that he was
employed by Warcer and Shaw to procure
coin from Philadelphia, for which he was to
receive profit Of 10 per cent, and that be
had procured for then about 81 ,050,a that
the money be them had on his person was to
have b sen delivered to them at Que O'Clock
that day that the money was procured by him
from a man named Frederick Tsrr, in PhiPa,
wko resides in Camden, n. j.; and he furth
or stated that package of Sl00 was to ar
rive on Thursday morning by Adams Lx-
press, and exhibited the bill OF lading and
letter acknowledging the receipt OF draft
for the amount paid tor it, and notifying him
of his having forwarded it. Stone also
stated that on his return from Philadelphia
Wsrder and Shaw paid him the money to
send"
This confession of Stone led to the arrest
of the other parties. and the package refer
red to was subsequently found at the express
office. 1t contained 500 in spurious gold
dollars. Shaw, who is butter dealer, is
charged with passing the spurious coin on
his customers. Warder, who kept a wood
yard, was seen BY an officer to receive $50
in half dollars from Stone, and the latter was
observed making purchases among the ooun-
try people In market. The officers took
Stone on to Philadelphia to identify the two
principals, who were arrested, aud all their
implements captured.
