An arch knave named Hiram P. Leslie, for
merly employed in the Patent Office in Wash
ington, advertised in the Philadelphia papers
for number of young lady music teachers to
go South into families as instructors. Fifteen
respectable girls, allured by his specious prom
ises, responded to his application, and rendered
their services, agreeing to pay their way on to
New Y York and then half of their fare to Mont
gomery, Alabama. On arriving at New York,
Leslie stated that he had arranged for their
passage at $50. They paid $l5 each making
$3.50 in all. Leslie afterwards went to the Ste
veus Hotel, where the teachers stopped, remov-
ed all the valuable part of their baggage, and
decamped The heartless scamp was followed
to Washington by the police and arrested. The
ladies swindled went back to Philadelphia, and
recovered their baggage which had been sent
to Washington, where Leslie has a wife, The
directions on the trunks had been taken off and
the name of his wife substituted Letters found
in his valise showed that he had travelled in the
South, and was extensively engaged in dishonest
schemes

Cause OF the aurora BoreaIls.


M. de la Rive, the celebrated French astron.
mer, explains the production Of the aurora
borealis in the following manner;
When the sun, having passed into the
southern hemisphere, the aqueous vapors
which have accumulated during the sum
mer in this part OF the atmosphere begin
to condense, the kind of humid cap enve-
Looping the polar regions extends more and
more, and facilitates the passage of the
electricity accumulated in the upper por-
tions Of the air. But in those elevated
regions, and especially at this season Of the
year, the aqueous vapors must frequently
pass into the state of minute particles of
ice or snow floating in the air, similar to
those which give rise to the balos they
form, as it we're, a kind of semi-transparent
mist. These half frozen fogs conduct the
electricity to the surface of the earth, near
the pole, and are at the same time llumi-
mated by these currents or electric discharg-
es. In fact all observers agree in asserting
that aurora borealis is constantly preceded
by a mist which rises from the pole, and
the margins of which, less dense than the
remainder, are colored the first; and indeed
it is very near the pole in the winter months,
and especially in those where there is an
abundance of vapor in the air.

to by our democratic county convention, and
the Lecompton constitution, upon which this
administration of blessed memory, staked itself

will naturally enhance the interest of the ex-

CHEESE MAKINc.-We publish this week the
second of series of articles, from the pen o
one of the most successful dairymen of this
county, on the subject of cheese making. This,
though the second of the series, is the first that
enters really into the merits of the subject. II
is written in a clear and familiar style, and its
practical common sense, and the evidence it car.
ries with it, of the settled experience of the
writer and bis qualifications and authority to
be heard on this subject, will, we think, gain for
it. the respectful attention of the darymen of
the county. So well pleased is one of our prin-
cipal dealers in dairy products with the charac-
ter of the articles and so well satisfied is he that
the suggestion, thrown out are of great prac-
tical utility, and should be disseminated, that
he has ordered fifty copies of each of the pa
pers containing the articles, for gratuitons dis
tribution. Owing to the writer's engagements,
he will be able to furnish but one article for
each alternate week.

There Is feeling low and sad,
Which creeps along my path TO night
That waves aloft Its somber wings
Above my dim and fearful sight,
And weaves dark faded flowers in
My wool Of life, once fair and bright.
There comes the transient CLEANS of bliss
There comes the shades of doubt and fears
There comes the longings Of my life,
lllumined by lights Of other years,
Slow blending in mystic dance
OF hope, of joy, of smiles aud tears.
But like dream, long sad dream
OF that which never more can be,
Comes through binding mists of tears,
Like shadows sweeping DER the sea
The forms now buried in the past
The hopes which are no more to me.
No more No will ever reach,
And ever gaze with longing eye
Adown the vista low and dark,
When life, its dearest treasures lie,
And as they flash, and as they fade,
Then rise to sink, then sink to die.
I'll catch each dim and fading form,
In mem'rys pale and fitfull glare,
I'll draw the lines of faith, and love
Along the realms enchanted there;
And rear the bulwarks of my hope,
A shield against the fend despair.
We meet to part, we part to meet,
And breath affections softened tone;
With hand in hand in union sweet
Tis thus the seeds of love are sown,
Then comes the harvest dark and scar,
With friends and hope forever flown.
