FRAUDS A MEANS OF POSTAGE REHoRX;
Even persons belonging to the middle
classes did not scruple to cheat the post
office in the days when letter-postage was
shilling instead of a penny. On the
covers of newspapers, which went free of
postage, they wrote in milk; the writing
when held to the fire became legible; and
the newspaper went back again with an
answer similarly inscribed. Another
method was to dot such letters IN the
printed paper itself as served to convey
the sender's meaning. Detection often
ensued, for the postal authorities were
wary but nothing came of it. No sigma
ture was used by which the writer could
be discovered, and the person to whom
the paper was addressed simply refused to
take it in, charged heavily as it was in
such cases as letter. Poorer people had
other means of cheap communication.
Children who went forth into the world,
and who loved to let the old folks at home
know that they were alive and well and
also to learn home news from them, not
being able to pay a shilling, perhaps, for q
letter, were wont, at periods agreed upon,
to send blank sheets of note-paper proper
ly addressed. It was in this address that
the parties concerned read the domestic
kilograms which they had been looking
for after looking at which they returned
the letter, as too expensive luxury for
them to purchase. Sacksfull of such let
ters were weekly carried backward and
forward over the country for nothing. 1t
took long years before the legislature
found out that they would gtin more by
carrying letters for penny, which was
duly paid, than by asking shilling or
whatever high charge the tariff allowed,
and which they never received at all. The
statistical logic of the day could not un-
derstand that pence could ever represent
more than shillings but when fifty penny
letters took the place of shilling one, the
excellence of the arithmetic was indispu-
table. ....

ST. PATRIcK's BoDY FouSD.-While
the workmen engaged in the renovation
of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin-the
oldest church in Ireland-were digging
up portion of the flooring in one Of the
aisles, they discovered large stone coffin
of curious workmanship buried a few feet
below the surface. The coffin, when
opened, was found to contain the skele-
ton of an ecclesiastic, supposed to have
been Euried there 900 years The skull
was perfect, and the bones crumbled into
dust when exposed to the air. On the
lid of the coffin there was full length of
q Bishop in his robes. It was inspected
by some antiquarians, including DR..
Todd, who expressed it as his belief that
it was the original founder of the church,
St. Patrick. 1t is in good preservation,
and is in every respect most interesting
relic. When the church is finished Il
will be placed in a most prominent posi-
ton, because there is no more remarkable
antiquity in the building. dl

We have exhamined the books Of the various
county officers and found them correct.
We have added to our annual report null state
eut of the receipts and expenditures Of the county
from July l. lSo2 TO July l. ls6S owing to the ao-
sence o! one Of the Commissioners and Illness OF
OF 1853 the other Commissioner, together with the
County Clerk, examined the books OF the different
county officers at that time, and found them all cor
rect.
When majority Of the present Board of Commis-
SiOners came into ofice, in September, lS62, they
found one of the present hospital buildings in pro-
cess Oferection, and were Obliged to finish and fur
nlsh the building speedily possible, Tor the a-
DlCations for admission were many, and private ac-
cOmmOdatiOns very Scanty; how 10 accomplish ms
and purchase many other necessary articles lot the
use OF the county, was the question We could not
purchase lumber, lime. furniture. provisions, medi-
cfnes help of assistants, etc, with scrip, without
having enormous prices for them. The former Board
Of commissioners labored under the same diSad-
vantakes In a lesser degree, for the expense up 10
fhat time were comparatively light, but they found
N necessary TO adopt some plan by which they could
raise money and they selected the plan for creating
contingent fund and setting apart onethird Of the
revenues Of the county for the payment OF warrants
drawn upon that fund. The amount so drawn by
the former Board OF Commissioners on this contin-
gent fund, up to the time the present Board came
into ONCE September ls62, amounted 10 the sum OF
SIl4 ~ and the present Board continued TO draw
an the same fund up to November, 1852, to pay
pressing bills, which were coming In very last AZ
that time as the hospital building was about COM
peted We had TO plaster the whole building, paint
and nish the same pay the various bills contracted
for lumber labor materials, etc. besides furnishing

BLAcKBERRIEs OR BLooD.-An Atlanta
correspondent of the Cincinnati CONNER
cial writes: "a few days ago number
of our soldiers who had grown tired of in-
activity in camp, with no fields of ripe,
delicious blackberries to appease their era
wings, took their guns and sailed forth on
an exploring expedition into the enemy's
country, in search of these delicacies and
Johnny Reb.' Boldly striking out in
skirmish line, with pals and guns, the
boys proceeded half mile ere they found
berry-patch, in which rebel cavalrymen
men were foraging. A few well aimed
shots scattered the rebels to the four winds,
leaving the Yanks in possession of the
field. When all had been stripped from
the bushes, another advance was made,
until another field was fonnd, when the
same formula was gone through. Thus
the enemy were driven mile and hall,
deserting their pals of berries, and our
daring berry.hunters returned to camp
with their pals filed and few prisoners
as their trophies" d" 'igah s-i

MORE ADVANTAGES OF INVESTMENT
IN U. S. STocKs.-A correspondent writ
ing to the Boston Advertiser says: The
National Almanac states the product Of
the loyal States for 1868 to be nearly
1000, ,OOo,0 900. If every one will take U.
S. Stocks to the extent of one-quarter Of
his income, the Secretary will have means
for the year, and if he will take three
eighths he will have enough to pay his
way and reduce the national currency to
a specie basis. Surely many can afford
to invest portion of their capital equal
to half their income in securities and pay
ing according to the price of gold from 6
to l6 per cent, and to take enough more
to make up the proportion Of those who
are not SO fortunate as to be able to make
such investment. ... ~. w.. .. .

served Hin Risht.

A gentleman just arrived from HagefS.
town, yesterday furnished our reporter
with an item going to show the spirit and
temper Of the invading rebels. When the
rebel horde appeared in front Of Hagers-
town, one Of its principal citizens under
took measure to which he looked for
the preservation Of his property. HiS
barns were full Of grain, his pastures were
dotted with sheep and cattle, and forty
well fed swine were gathered in the rear
of his corn cribs. He was emphaticslly
man of plenty and substance. When the
rebels came he walked out to their lines
with damask linen napkin affixed to his
cane. The first rebel soldier he encoun-
tered he requested to show him the COM,
manding officer. he was passed under
guard 10 the object Of his search.
General" said he, 81 am warm
sympathizer with the South. I heartily
wish success to this invasion and to your
forces. Ny object in seeking you out n
to ask that you and as many Of your staff
as will accept the invitation win make my
house your headquarters during your stay
here. My house is yonder upon that hill"
(pointing to fine old.fashioned mansion,
with modern additions, with long row Of
hay ricks on the back ground.)
"You sympathize with the South, did
you say " queried the General. f.s
Very earnestly, sir, and always have
done so.'' s...-..
The rebel General beckoned to Ser
geant who stood near him. "Bring a
musket for this man." said he, sand take
him into the ranks"
The "sympathizer opened wide his
eyes, but stood mute with horror. He
cao,.''iu't see it /" in that light. He STAN.
mered out at last, "Oh, / didn't mean
that, General. don't want to fight. 7
" l,sl Lis. cziltss.aIs y6E ''aaa.tsys M. stakr
while you remain here, and to show you
that am your friend"
The rebel General contemptuously in
formed him that they interpreted sympa-
thy only in its literal sense. He had
claimed to sympathize with them, and they
intended to avail themselves of his good
will. A string of wagons was at once
trotted on, driven to the sympathizer's
property, and in the same afternoon he
was stripped of everything. The rebels
carried off all his cattle, sheep, hogs and
smaller live stock, removed all his hay and
wheat crop, leaving his barns utterly
empty. The cavalry horses were turned
into his growing oats, and his corn was
cut for fodder for the stock while on the
march. The sympathizer was detained
until all was done, and was then released
with thanks for the sympathy he had
manifested. Many like him in Maryland
are now reaping the fruits of their symps-
thy. When mln will take the suckers out
of their pumps to prevent Union soldiers
from drinking the water, their sympathy
with the South deserves some such recog-
milton as that given to the friend of the
rebel cause above referred to, who came
to grief at Hagerstown.-PhiiadePhi
