Arrest of couaterfelters II, Onto.

From the Cleveland plaindealer we extract the
following: .
The Western Reserve has for several years been
afflicted with a well organized and adroit gang Of
connterfeiters- Through the exertions of Deputy
T. s. Marshal detectives, this gang has been grad
nally but surely broken up. At Burton, Geauga
county, on Friday last Mr.. Haekett, assisted by
Lambert White and Marshal Johnson, Of this city.
arrested IL. K. Whitcomb, Samue! r. Whiteomb,
Jesse Beorne, and Josiah Dixon. Only some $500
in base metal was found in their possession but
there is no doubt but they have been ringleaders
in the gang and have done much towards flooding
the West with worthless money.
There is strange history connected with Jesse
Boorne, one Of the men arrested at Burton. Some
forty years ago a enid.blooded murder was perpe-
trated in the State of Vermont The murdered
man was brother-in.law of Boorne named Cob
ley, and circumstances pointed to Boorne and his
brother as the guilty parties. They were tried,
convicted, and sentenced to be hung. The exc
cuton day came, and large crowds poured into
the village 10 SEQ the murderers swing, They as
cended the seaftoid and the moose was placed
around their neeks, when the supposed dead man
appeared IN the crowd. The Boornes were set
free just as they entered DEATHS door, and mmc-
diately fled the State. Jesse Boorne, now nearly
seventy years old. confessed to Mr.. Hackett at
Burton, that he aud his brother did murder Gobey
the person who appeared before the gailows bein )
man from New Jersey, who bore a striking re-
sembance to the deceased. and who was expressly
hired to play the Viainous part. The affair cred
Ted great excitement al the time throughout New
desperate murder cases have since quoted the
Boorne case for the benefit Of their clients.
y Is heheved-indeed Baorne confessed as much
That the hardened wretchproposed TO still further
steep his hands In blood by numbering a Mr. Dooz
little, OF Burton, who has money, which the gang
have long usted Tor.
| On last Wednesday, Marshal johnson aud Mr..
| Hackett made another important arrest at North
| Washington, in Hardin county, securing the per
sons of Dir. +. B, Heistand hitherto respectable
| physician, and Hiram Haftzei These parties are
| charged With manufacturing bogus coin, and wore
!, brought 70 the city and lodged in jail.
I II is worthy OF mention that Of the numerous
persons arrested for counterfeiting on ta Reserve
during the past year net one has been eaaght in
! Cleveland. They rendezvous IN the conntry--in
small ontof-the-way places, where they oltwarSifs
maintain the utmost respectahility and IN some
instances even affect pety. 0ne company makes
!, the coin and another sells it, but nnne of them
hardly eyer pass it. When one is arrested, the
efforts q he entire gang are put IN use 10 secure
J his aedpIai.

STRANGE AND FATAL ACCIDENT ST. Johns
(Mch.9 Republican of the Gath ult says that few
days since little daughter of Chester Dean, aged
four years, was killed on the farm of Mr. j. @.
Sewe, in the township of Essex, by the falling OF
tree. Mrs. Dean, with three daughters. the
youngest OF whom was killed, were out picking
berries, when the children sought refuge from the
sun in the shade of large Eastwood tree. AT
the time dead calm prevailed-scarcey breath
of air was stirring but the tree was suddenly up
rooted and prostrated to the ground-.a bongh In
the trunk struck the child, and another portion OF
it striking stump at the same time it was thrown
some sin feet from the child, leaving its mangled
corpse imbedded in the earth, every bone in its
body being apparently crushed. The frantic
mother seized the corpse in her arms, and ran with
it in the frenzy of her agony, the entrails dragging
upon the ground she ran, and ii was with the
greatest difficulty that she could be induced to re-.
lax her hold upon it.. The child is said to have
been beautiful and bright. There was something
wonderful about the tree, which was apparently
full of life and vgor having started on its mission
of death without any visible impelling force.

began by saying, why on this occasion do we be-
hold this vast asselnblage2 He did not suppose
they came there to be instructed in their political
rights but ont of respect and homage to the prin.
ciples of that great man whose image was before
them. He then alluded to an occurrence that took
place, at the moment when the President of the
meeting rose to open the proceedings. The moon
which had been obscured by dark and ominous
cloud, at that moment burst forth in all its bril-
liancy, and pursued its course through the clear
blue sky studded with glitering stars while at the
same moment, Just at the right of Cynthia, in all
her glory portion of that dark cloud assumed the
form of an eagle, The emblem of liberty and the
