rushed past the woman and up stairs. The
house has but one room on a floor. There was
no Cross on the first floor, and on the second a
man was found, lying on bed. This man was
not the object of their search, and continuing 2
on up stairs, the fugitive was found coolly sit
ting upon trunk, and in his shirt sleeves
Excepting that he was divested of his coat, he
was dressed just as be was when he slipped of
on Saturday. He had laid aside his wig and
shaved off his mOustache and whiskers but
the officers had no difficulty in recognizing
him, even without his bland manner and musi-
cal voice.
The prisoner was unembarrassed and polite
as usual, remarking about the scantiness Of the
furniture in the room, and expressing regret
that he had no chairs to offer his visitors. Mr.
Porter, the officer from whom the forger had
escaped, became very much excited and,
bursting into a hysterical laugh, he seized
Cross by the collar and screamed out Old
fellow, il makes me the happiest man in the
world to see you. There is nobody wanted
TO sec wOrse,n
To this the adept coolly replied that he
would be happy to see him, (Mr Porter but
not under existing circumstances
Porter remarked that if the prisoner got
away from him again he would have to be
smarter than ever.
Cross replied that the officers had the adyant-
age Of him as they we're all strangers 70 him,
intimatiny that regular officers, in their ord-
nary dress, would have had some trouble in
tapping him.
The recaptured rogue was taken down to
prison in Mr.. Mann's wagon, the District At
torney retaining his laborers rig and driv-
ing the horses. So complete was his disguise
that the prisoner did not recognize him until
they arrived at the prison and Mr.. Mann jest
ingly demanded his fare
On the road to MOyamensing. the prisoner
jestcd with his captors regarding his escape
and recapture. He pretended to sympathize
deeply with Mr.. Porter, who had fallen into
disgrace on his account, and who had become
an object of suspicion. He said he could not
help the matter at the time, but he had deter
mined to make Porter a rich man before he
died
Cross was finally lodged in bis cell about
midnight, and we presume that after the expe-
rience of the past. he will have to remain in
strong quarters until the law is done with him.
We are assured by Mr.. Joseph Mirkil that it
was he who traced out the movements of the
fOrger, from the time he escaped, and that he
put the authorities in possession Of the facts
which enabled them to secure him.

III Not far from Oakland, on the line OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, there lives an old
gentleman by tue name Of Thomas, who we learn
was at one time Governor of Maryland, and quite
wealthy. For many years he has manifested
symptoms Of insanity; his wealth was wasted ,
and he was neglected and allowed TO go down in
the world He now lives in a miserable log hut
with no companion but an aged negro There is
no habitatiOn near, and he scarcely ever has a
visitor or sees a white mans face. A couple of
artists from Baltimore, who were skptrhing
along the line of the road concluded the other day
to go down from Oakland and pay the old hermit
a visit and few sketches Of his premises. They
were kindly received at first, and their sketches
seemed To tplease the old man, until be became
aware that II was the intention of the artists to
publish them, with accompanying descriptions,
and thus drag him agatn before the public
out of the house. They did not go upon the in

them The artists, of fcourse, left in hurry
