ONE OF THE .TIGERS.'

B- The most skilful detector of counter
Spaniard, and he puts his Lose to that singu.
lar use. His business is to receive and ties,
money and he was never known to make a
mistake. He will pour the contents of a bas
of gold or silver coin into scale-for it is
weighed, not counted-and in trice announ.
ces the amount in dollars and cents: then
running his fingers through the shining
pieces, and applying his nose to them, i'm
mediately takes out every counterfeit coin.
a. \ Baltimore builder and contractor,
named Michael Roche, is constructing for a
company in Havana. 800 frame houses, of
three classes, varying in size and embellish-
ments to suit the three classes of society
found in Havana-the poor, the middle and
the rich. The object of the company is to
place dwelling within the reach of every
mans means. Parties, by paving certain
amount monthly, come into freehold possess
sion OF the house and lot at the expiration
OF eight years. The frames are to be fitted
together in this country and then shipped to
Havana. The value of the contract will be
several millions of dollars, and of great ad-
vantage to the mechanics of Baltimore.

The following is from the Rutland Herald

the United States Army, has been appointed

OF sharp shooters to be raised in this STATE

gone to New York for instructions, and will

The New Regiments.

Of the two new regiments to be raised in
this state we understand that Gov Fairbanks
Intends to locate one at St Johnsbury and the
other at st AlbarS. The one to be located
at st Jehnsbury is 70 be a Zouaye regiment
and the one here is to have a company of ar
tlliery attached to it. The regiments are to
consist each of one thousand and forty men,
and are to be put under the strictest dsci-
pine. Recruiting offices are to be imimedi-
ateiy opened in different parts of the state,
and it is believed there will be no difficulty
IN raising the requisite numher of volunteers
in short time.-.H -dlbans Messenger.
The Messenger further states that Mr.
Stoughton is to be colonel Of the regiment
stationed at St Adams. We have understood
that he was appointed colonel of the Zouaye
regiment.

Root will hold another Musical Convention
in this place the last week in August; notice
of which is given in our advertising columns

Horse Thief Arrested.

/ Mr. EDITOR doubtless yoxr readers will
all remember something over year ago
reading the arrest of John Scales of Concord
as horse thief, and how he slipped away
from the sheriff. II. W. Bedell of Lunenburg.
and ran away, making good his escape
Since that time Mr. Bedell has been on the
lookout for him, and Thursday last arrested
! him at Piermont, y. II. The circumstances
which led to his arrest were as follows -
When he went away he left his valise in the
hands of Bedell, and after he had gone his
father, Luther Scales, claimed it. Bedeli
would not give it up without an order from
the owner. his object being to get the hand
writing of the cul prit. His father procured
the order and Bedell upon its reception left
portions of ii at such Post-oiiices as he
thought most likely the said Scales would
put in letters. 1t seems Scales had formed
an attachment and correspondent with one
Clara Williams of Lyman, n. H., going I'M
der the name of Jackson Morrill,, purporting
to be from Chelsea, Vt The Postmaster al
Lyman having become satisfied that Jackson
Morrill, was the thief John Scales, notified
Bede Of the probability and Bedell immedi-
ately started in pursuit. He ascertained that
he was at work for Il farmer named Hodge.
of Piermont, n. H., and he then took deputy
sheriff Stevens of Haverhill and went to the
house Of Hodge, finding and arresting him.
He was armed with a brace of pistols and a
dirk knife, but the arrest was so sudden and
unexpected that he had no opportunity Of
showing fight. He IS now lodged in the Jail
at Guildhall, Vt. where he awaits his trial
Much praise is due to the untiring efforts of
sheriff Bedell in accomplishing his recapture.

Letter from the I'd Regiment.
THE LATE BA II / l. l..

have already given good deal of space to
this battle, this letter from one who partici-
pated will be read with interest by all.
"At this late day, amid the thousand and
one exciting things have had to think of, l
am wholly unable to tell whether have writ
ten you since the great battle OF not Since
we returned to Alexandra we have not had
mach to do, and indeed we are SO tired and
lame that we could not do much at the best.
Such tired, hungry, worn out boys never were
seen before as the troops were when they re-
turned. You have probably had all the &C
counts of the battle ere this, 'by our special
correspondent or by an eyewitness, and
have got more real information undoubtedly
than an actor in the strife could boast of.
was on guard Saturday LAST Goth JULY
at our camp near Bull Run. At . \. NJ. OF
Sunday we started on our march. There
were the same long lines Of soldiers that |
have before spoken of, but this morning We
took different roads. 1t was pleasant in the
mornings uncertain darkness, to watch the
wide spread array of camp fires where hot
| coffee had been made for the thousands of
men in the various encampments. The Joy
Gus shouts of the men rang out upon the air,
| the hoarse commands Of the officers would
ring in, and the pattering of the horses feet,
rear and front, right and left, made scene
of hustle and confusion that was calculated
to excite and arouse one if anything would
do it. Those long lines with cleaning arms,
banners bright soon returned, furnished, tat
tered and torn. We did not make much ad-
vance for some time, and the light began to
grow more and more certain. At last dawn
broke in tn. east. Officers and men were
loud in the denunciations of delay, but the
cause soon became known the battery in
front could get no good position to open fire
upon the first rebel battery at Bull Run,
whose vicinity and effect had been tested the
Thursday before. This stopped the whole

TARIFF.-An additional tariff act has pass
ed Congress, imposing duty of Is cents per
pound on tea, t cents on coffee, 3 on cocoa,
? on sugar, and on chickory; the duty on
silk goods is increased 10 per cent, and %
cents per gallon additional duty is placed on
brandy, and 10 cents on wines. The bill for
direct taxation leves rate of 3 per cent on
all incomes over $500 per annum. Although
the people generally welcome this tax as a
means to raise money to carry on the war,
some are fearful that it may complicate our
affairs with foreign powers who furnish us
these articles, and be the means of the con-
federate states being acknowledged as an in
dependent power by these nations.

STILL BARKING.-The y. Y. Independent
has taken up the business (by correspondence
of crlticising and defaming the government
at Washington, so lately abandoned by the
Tribune. There is letter in the last num-
Der from Charles L. Brace which the friends
of that popular writer will be sorry to see,
and which cannot possibly add lustre to his
already well-known and much-admired wri-
tings. The Tribune, after losing thousands
of subscribers per week, and disgusting near
ly all its friends who still chung to it, found
that it had mistaken the sentiment of the
people-that there was really no response to
the continual carping in its columns upon the
administration and army movements. We
think the Independent will learn the same
fact. The intelligent masses will not tolerate
this mischevous meddling the papers that
persist in it Will be let alone most severely.
