SINGULAR DISAPPEARANCE OF A HAT.-A Sunday
or two since, at Grace Church, says the Home
seat, and shortly afterward two progressing
young ladies sat next him. At the conclusion of
the service the ladies left the church first, and the
gentleman stopped in search of his hat, and to his
surprise, found it gone. He called the sexton, and
applied to that worthy functionary for advice. MIR.
Brown suggested that it might have been caught in
the ladies' crinoine; and entanged in the crinoine
enough it was. After bobbing against one of
the young ladies' ankles for distance of about 20
yards, the hat dropped out, much to the astonish-
ment and surprise of those following.

Needless. s+
We notice that some of the Republican
papers assert that Postmaster Fowler, the
alledged defaulter was particular friend of
Douglas and that he had used money to Sc
cure his nomination at Charleston. 1t is
true that Fowler voted for Douglas IN Con-
vention, but it should be remembered that
the New York Delegation voted as amt,
and that the majority Of the Delegation were
for the Illinois Senator, while the minority,
Mr.. Fowler among others, were very strong
ly opposed to Douglas, but voted under in
structions with the majority of the Delega-
ton. We have no desire to use harsh
terms toward political opponents, but it does
seem to us that those editors who try to
make Roadway against Douglas by asserting
that defaulting P. NJ. spent the peoples
funds to aid the Senator are either amazing
ly ignorant, or lie-under mistake. The
fact is, Fowler is, and was at Charleston, a
very bitter opponent of Douglas and voted
for him only because he was forced to do SO
by the action of the N. Y. State Conven.
ton. When partizans are SO closely driven
as to require such lie-bclous arguments as
those above referred to, to injure an oppo
nent they fear, it is pretty fair evidence,
that they rely more upon the credulity O.
their followers than the merits of their cause

The Introduction.
In assuming the responsibilities of Asso-
ciate Editor of the Times we are pleased to
make your acquaintance kind readers, and
trust we shall become as intimate in the
future as will be desirable for either party.
We have neither the time or taste to in
dulgc in long winded "Salutatory;' we
hope tho Times is as handsome, and well
come as ever, this week, and having mo
friends to reward, or enemies to punish"
we have no pledges to offer for the future /;
those desiring farther acquaintance can
easily do so by placing their names on our
mail books.
Col. RICHARDSON remains the Senior
Editor, a better guarantee of the future Of
this journal, than a column of meaningless
pledges. Politically, we shall sail under
the same banner as before. In fact, the
paper will be just right on all questions.
We have said enough; if the public don't
consider us sufficiently introduced, they
may call and finish it. Yours &C.,
A. j. FELT.

The Wrong Man.

The Wrong Man.
Some excitement was occasioncd in town
on Saturday last, by the report that Geo.
Lawrence, who murdered Laura j. Harvey,
at Ottumwa on the Goth of March last, was
in the custody Of our Deputy Sheriff. It
appears that on the arrival Of the Ferry
Boat on Friday afternoon, a person, bear
ing the description of Lawrence made his
appearance, and by his singular movements
soon attracted the attention of our wido
awake detectives" In conversation with
Geo. L. Bass, w. Drummond and other
citizens, he said he was detective officer
from Rockford, ILL.,, and on track of the
murderers, Lawrence and McComb, and
that if our officers would give him part
of the reward offered, he would show them
the murderers, as he knew where they
were He stated that he had nothing to do
with the murder ''physically," but intima.
ted that he had some knowledge of the
transaction. His conduct, conversation,
and strong resemblance to Lawrence, soon
aroused the suspicious of the citizens, and
he was arrested and placed in custody
