in every direction, that Conductor WoodsIj

A CONTRACTOR IN DIFFIouLTY.-A short
time ago VIM. l.. Grant Ex City Clerk and
present contractor for the Uuion Camp Dick
Robinson, in crossing the Covington Ferry
was met by an officer on the lookout for
contrabsnd goods, and accosted with the
query, What have you in that parcel?' To
which be replied, mentioning the articles,
among which were a pair of boots. This
was not entirely satisfactory, and the officer
insisted, much against the will of the owner.
on examining the parcel little more mi
nutely, when lol in the middle was found a
pistol, the very thing for which the Custom
house official was in search. Had the man
permit authorizing him to carry this con-
traband article into the State of Kentucky2
He had not. Had he any well-known
Union man present to vouch for his LOYALTY
One was just coming down the hill to cross
the ferry, the officer agreed to take him as
voucher the man approached and saluted
ms TREND with the stunning words: "Hal-
loa, Seceshl"
The recommendation, on these two words
was not quite what the officer expected. and
the sequel of the story is that the Union
army contractor had to return to the corner
OF Fourth and Vine, for permit, after which
he succeeded in carrying over his pistol.

Q. A. Webster, who had permit from the
CINCINNATI authorities to take O quantity of
hardware to his residence in Cynthiana, at
tempted to play a game upon Surveyor

nently unsuccessful, as all who undertake the

tue po8esi diter tDey were placed upon the
train, disclosed the fact that there were con-
traband articles concealed underneath the
others. Three hundred boxes of caps and q

ARRESTED FOR TREAsoN.-A well-known
Secessionist, named Marion Daniels, was
arrested at Demossville yesterday under the
following circumstances: He was formerly
resident of Oovington, but for some months
past has resided in Demossville, where he
has been engaged in getting up secession
military company, and has been heard to
apply rather protane epithets to Lincoln SOL

thought sufficient to justify his arrest, Major
Mason, of the Kenton Union Regiment, No.
s. detached the Kentucky Grays on an expe-
dition for that purpose, yesterday morning.
They soon returned, having the man in
charge, and delivered him up to Surveyor
Campbell, by whom he was handed over TO
