GUERRILLAs ON TIE MIssouRI.-A
band Of guerrillas overhauled the steamer
Marcella at Dover Landing, on the Mis-
souri,, ten or fifteen miles below Lexing-
ton, on the 18th. The passengers were
robbed of about 81 900 in cash, besides
a large amount of goods. Four soldiers
belonging to militia regiment were cap
tured on the boat, being told that they
would be exchanged or paroled. After
they had been taken some distance from
tie river they were drawn up in line and
the order given to fire. Three fell dead,
but the fourth managed to make his es-
cape. 1t is asserted that the Captain of
the boat drank with the bushwhackers
and seemed to be on good terms with
them Illinois State Journal.

The tolaswing account of the arranre-
ments for the issue Of the new postage
currency appears in Thompson's Bank
Note Reporter:
"Ihe public is now generally aware that
the Treasury Department is making az
tensive preparation, not only for the en-
craving and printing Of the new issues Of
postar currency and Treasury notes, but
that the ink and paper will also be manu-
featured in the Treasury building at Wash
, ington. The postal currency is already
printed, and will be issued % soon as
there is demand for it by the Withdraw
al of the old issue. The new fractional
currency will be Of the same denomina-
tions as the old, but instead of being Of
different sizes, they will all be of the d.
mansions Of the present ten cent postal
They are engraved in the highest style of
art, and the colors, which are the distin-
gushing marks ofthe different values, are
of such chemical combination, it is as
serted, as to defy photographing But
perhaps the greatest safeguard against
counterfeiting, in all its new issues. will
be in the paper on which they are printed.
This will be made secret process in the
Treasury Department,u nder the immedi-
ate superintendent of the inventor. The
paper in question is thinner than that in
common use, and it will be very much
cheaper. Its advantages will consist
largely in the fact that it Is forty times
stronger than the paper now used. II can
be washed like piece of linen, without
in any way injuring the engraving and
withsl, it cannot be. photographed, Is it
photographs . dark brown, instead of
white like ordinary paper.
cal these various Improvements in en-
craving, ink, paper aud economy, are due
to the exertions of s. NJ. Clarke, ESQ.,,
the Superintendent of the currency de-
partment Of the Treasury. Mr.. Clarke
has invented many of the ingenious ma
chimes which are used for the purposes Of
stamping, cutting and counting the notes,
and this in addition to the laborious du-
ties of his department. The Secretary
fully appreciates Mr.. Clarke as an officer
whose ability is only equslled by the in
tegrity with which he discharges his du-
ties. The saving to the country which
the new system of engraving and print
ing the money issued by the Treasury in
sures, will be very large but the great
est advantages will be in the security af.
forded to the public against fraudulent
issues.

Twenty four years ago this bleaisd October,
young gentleman and lady. who ehall be
nsmeless, lviug then in Old England, met like
Rachel and Iacob, alta well-curb, and exchanged
healths aud VOWS. II was leve at fsrs sight;
at second sight they were married. They
moved to America, and begot s0as and dsugh-
ters. Five year. Of welded life elapsed, and
one fine morning the affectioaate ana devoted
husband, who was never before known TO forego
the slightest cobjugsl or paternal obligations,
was missing.
Nineteen years passed by, in which tho abb
sent husband was mourued as myste.iously de-
ceased, aud quite forgotten by widow aud chill
dren. They had moved from their original
residence in pursuit of better fortune, and they
came to Rochester, where thty have for some
time resided. Lsst week, while the widow was
sghing In loneliness at the proksctsd. absence
of her Oldest son, somebody knocked at the
door, which was opened, and 10, the husband!
The renegade took chair, and said he had
come back to take care of his family. He had
been like Slnbad, the sailor, wandering over the
Garth aud sea, sometimes throwing beefstssks
into the diamond valley and making very heavy
profits on recovering them from the cormora anita

Dlsagreements followed, then neglect, and
finally the thousand little quarrels and snub,
bings, and chickering's, simpering down into q
grand fight, which was kept up with slight
variations for three months.
Finally they agreed permanently to disagree,
and ayailing themselves Of the ease with which
divorces are obtained in Indiana, the whole four
removed to Indiana, where in due time the d.
vorces were obtained. -
The four came home as they went together,

charge, and the father doing the agreeable 10

ditto. The remarrying was performed immedi-
