lowing: ~ ~lar.r.t.tI .i..
Thursday, the 2sth ult., a gentleman pre-
sented himself at the counter of Wason, EY-
erett & Co., Bankers, and representing him
self as a wool dealer from Boston, remarked
that he was on his way West to buy wool,
and as he had only Boston money, he de-
sired to get Western money of smaller de-
nominations to use in his purchases. He
handed them three 500 bills upon the New
ton Bank, of Massachusetts, one of the most
reliable in the country. 1t was taken with
out hesitation, and Western money given in
exchange. The wool merchant then called
upon Read 4 Co., and in like manner ex-
changed $500, and then upon the Forest City
Bank, from which he obtained $400, Mr.
Severance himself making the exchange.
The next day Read & Co. sent a package o.
eastern money to New York, this being in
cluded, when they were informed by tele.
graph that IL Was counterfeit They imme-
diately notified Marshal Craw of the fact
and he discovered the further operations o
the swindler.
}, The money is so perfect in execution tha
the most experienced experts failed TO SEE
anything wrong about it, II was all in on,
hundred dollar notes. The operator had 1
pleasant business air, talked freely of politics
&C., and had nothing suspicious about his ap
.pearance How many more institutions b,

tell. No trace is had of his whereabouts, ant
he may be set down as having made "tei

tity of snow which fell at the beginning Of
the spring has lately produced numerous in

the latter river, has suffered very consider
ably. Likewise in all the interior Of Sweden
the lakes and the rivers have risen to an ex-

An extraordinary scene was witnessed one
day last month at Foundoukli, near Constan-
tinople, the trial Of two young girls who had
ahjured the Mohammedan for the Christian
religion. Their father was Greek, a native
Of the Island of Siphantoy He became o
Mussulman, and while living in Egypt mar
ried woman Of his new faith, by whom he
had these two daughters, Fatmeh and Emineh,
who were brought up after the strictost rites
Of Islam. Some tim0 sterward the whole
family removed 10 Syra, There the father
was reconverted TO The Christian faith, and,
without the knowledge OF the mother, had
his daughters baptized under the names of
Maria and Angelica, The family afterward
removed TO Smyrna where the mother, learn
ing Of this baptism, made complaint to the
BashRw, accusing her husband Of having will
fully deceived her. He was thereupon im-
| prisoned by the local authority, and the two
| young girls took refuge in the house of the
Greek Cousul, where they remained until
| the order arrived that they should go to Com
stantinople, whittier their parents were also
remanded. ..sl l.l, .'.-i.- -.aalU
On the 10th of May they all appeared al
the country house of Hall Bey, the Turkish
Minister TO Greece, where they partosk o.
his hospitality, and IL Is said also Of an excel
lent breakfast. The infdel Arab mother
| however, was the prey of such nervous agi
tation that she wept constantly, and coult
eat nothing. The Turkish minister of reli
gion, Sami Pacha, who had the mother il
charge, questioned her where she was mar
ried, and what was her religion. She salt
that she FIRST became acquainted. with he
husband in Egypt and that then he was
Mussulman, and her answers were corrobo
rated by her husband. Then commenced tn
questioning of the girls. They said that tn
woman who was present was their mother
but that hepoeforthr they should not recoe
nize her as such unless she embraced th
Christian religion. They were asked wha
religion they desired TO profess; they al
swered that they wished to follow only th
religion OF, Christ. This declaration ende

i.4lt On His Wffe-His Sentence. ~ lc'

tT7ilN Ou tAha NsnCT hhh5 CO"sD"SO-
William e. Cav, who was arrested in New
York, and who has . wife living in Pittsburg,
was arraigned in the New York Court, on
Friday, and pleaded guilty. He stated that
his wife had deserted him, and refused 10 live
with him. He did not know what was in
the bottle, as he bought It from peddler to
cure his corns. in moment Of excitement
he threw the stuff in his wife's face. Mrs.
Cav appeared before theIoourt and stated
that she left her husband because he III
treated her, and because she subsequently
ascertained that he was already married at
the time of her marriage with him. y
In passing sentence the Judge remarked
that the idea of the revenge taken BY the
prisoner was atrocious; this practice Of en-
deavoring 10 injure the. sight or deprive a
person Of member ought to be severely CON
demned. The laws to punish this offense
ought to be made more severe. The practice
of throwing chemical substances had ap--
peared before in this city. He did not intend
TO shorten the term Of imprisonment tixed
by the law. He would sentence the accused
10 imprisonment for one year in the Peniten-
tiary, and to pay fine Of $3.50, and to be
Committed till paid. The prisoner was qtite
surprised at this sentence, which is the ex-
RENE penalty for the offense.
