ARREST OF NOTORIOUS FoRGERs--Yester
day two men, Christopher Calihan and Dam
iel Tooby, came into the city from the coun-
try, having in their possession notes upon
certain well known farmers who reside from
twelve to fifteen miles out of town. These
they presented to several persons, represent.
ing that they had obtained them for work,
and Toohy, who took the principal part in
the proceedings, succeeded in obtaining a
dollar from N. B. Stephens, Esq, ON the
strength of the notes. They were of the
value of about $50 each, and were signed
William Williams, William Grant and Will
liam Sprink but it was afterward ascer-
tanned that these men knew nothing of the
notes to which their signatures were at
tached. Warrants were therefore issued for
Calihan and Toohy, on the charge of forgery,
and they were arrested. Their hearing is
fixed at nine o'clock to-day, before Mayor
Goodson. Toohy is known by Marshal
Butts as having committed a forgery hereto
fore, and the Marshal had been on the look.
out for him till he thus came Unexpectedly
into his hands.
MYsTERY.-K. G. C.-The Knights of the
Golden Circle evidently contemplate some
grand movement soon. Yesterday numer-
| Gus printed cards with the mysterious num-
beIs GA, 68, &C., were found in our streets.
The uninitiated were inquiring and conject-
uring at once; the initiated did the same.
Strange to say, no one in the whole city
could explain the mystery. 1t was at first
supposed that some grand movement on Gin
cinnat was about to. be made by an armed
band of Secessionsts, which affair the mys
terious "64" in some manner foreshadowed.
Visions of fire and blood, saber and sword,
pike and pillory rushed upon the imagina-
tions of the affrighted individuals. AT last
some one hit upon solution of the affair,
less terrible and more probable, though far
from being conEoling to many of our worthy
citizens. 1t was suggested that it might be
connected with the late sudden and mysteri
Gus disappearance of chickens from some o.
our poultry yards. We hope however, oul
citizens may sleep sweetly and wake in the
morning to find all their chickens at home.
MAN SERIOUSLY HURT FOR RESISTING AN
OFFICER Day before yesterday Harry Riff
former Deputy Marshal, attended the target
shooting excursion of the Rover Guards at
Coles Garden, and, upon returning, some
what intoxicated, got into a difficulty and
fight with Joseph Maxwell whom he struck
on the head with Ia sword. Afterward
during the evening, be got into second
fight, upon which Officer Robt. Strand at
tempted to arrest him, but was resisted in
such a manner that he was compelled tC
knock him down, in order TO secure his
prisoner. Riff was so severely injured thai
his recovery is regarded as extremely doubt
ful.
How much the officer was at fault in th,
premises, we are unable to say, but presume
a legal tribunal will render decision tina
will enable US to judge more intelligent,
hereafter. The affair caused considerable ex
citement in town yesterday.
