counts were given of the restitution Of the
clergy of the South
Rev. Dr. Hammer spoke of the recent meet
ing of the Old School Presbyterian Synod at

gloomy on account of the general suffering
and restitution, he took occasion to announce
the fact of the forthcoming meeting at which
they we're now gathered. Several-rose to OK
press their gratitude, and a member calling on
the moderator for the purpose, fervent prayers
Of Thanksgiving were Immediately offered
One exclaimed, "The light is breaking" DR..
Hammers remarks were heard with visible
emotion. The spirit of the Synod was alto
gether kind. An interest in the welfare OF
the freedmen was especially manifest. There
was q field in which the Southern Aid Society
might do q great work
Dr. Waterbury, of Brooklyn, believed no
organization would prove more effective than
the one now convened for work in the South
It seemed to be in the very posture to do good
The legacy they were about to receive, he re-
garded as marked indication of Divine Pro-
violence. The model of the Society was per-
feet in regard to the application of funds. Its
organization was admirable for the purpose.
Rev. L. Farnham, of Boston, Rev. DR..
Fairchild. of New York, John H. Brewer,
and other gentlemen, expressed an earnest
sympathy and strong hopes concerning the
work which the Society was about to resume.
One purpose of the meeting was to consult

last, for the purpose of expressing their own
views and those of prominent Liberals and

The RULING PAssIoN.-An editor and his

HIsToRIoAL NeTE.-The New York Times
says, a little fact came to our knowledge day
or two since. which shows how history may
sometimes be written. A young man of not
over steady habits was lately missing from
his home for nearly month Last week he
returned, saying that he had been South" to
got work, but that everybody was numbering
Northerncrs, and he had concluded retreat
advisable. Investigation developed the fact
that his erratic wanderings had been bounded
by the confines of the Sixth Ward during the
entire period of his emigration"
THE NEGROES IN VIRGINIA A gentle
man writing from the Valley of Virginia says
Hthe poor ignorant and duped freedmen of our
country are beginning to realize their true
condition, and many are returning to their
former masters and asking permission to re-
main with them, which in some instances is
granted and many refused. They are wand
ering about the country almost in state of
nudity and half starved, consequently steal
ing almost every thing they can lay hands
on"
A man named Walker brought All action in
the United States Circuit Court for Vermont,
held at Rutland, against G. r. Crane, Assis-
tant Provost Marshal of the United States for
the First Congressional District of Vermont,
for salt and battery and false imprisonment,
The jury rendered a verdict in favor of Walk
or, giving him $1,000 damages.

Mrs. Caroline Warden, of Medford, Massa-
cbusetts, after ride in horse car, Saturday,
found that there was diamond ring in her

ring accidentally slipped from his finger when
abstraeting it. The ring is stated to be worth
$3.50.

REoUPERATION IN ROCKINGHAM COUNTY,
VIRGINIA.-T efforts which our citizens are
making to retrieve the losses and repair the
ruin of war are visible in all parts of the coun-
ty. Many large new barns stand upon the
ashes of the structures burnt year ago, while
the numerous piles of lumber scattered here
and there show that many more buildings of
this kind will be ready for the next years crop
The most of those who had their dwelling
houses burnt have erected some shelter for
temporary use, which is to form the back
building of the substantial residence they hope
to be able to rear before many years. Several
burnt sawmills have been rebuilt, and num-
Der of steam saw-mills have been added to the
water power-mills, by the great demand for
lumber, both for fencing and building purpos-
es. The farmers have already done wonders
in the fencing line, and the thousands of rails
we hear of their preparing will, by spring,
leave very little exposed land in the county
HaaTisonburg Commonwealth.

ENCOUNTER WITH A SHARK. We learn

ENCOUNTER WITH SHARK. We learn that
a few days since, our old friend, Capt. George
McFadden, while on his way from New York
Long Island, with what is called a dead calm.
The opportunity seeming propitious, the cap
tain and a young man named Peter johnson
determined to enjoy salt water bath. Jump
ing into the water, it was not many minutes
when young johnson says he saw something
all white, and in an instant he was carried
under the surface to depth of twenty feet.
He now discovered that he was in the Jaws of
one of those voracious man-eater sharks
Struggling with all his strength, johnson
managed to break away and reach the surface
again but the shark was soon after him, and
continued to bite him in various parts of the
body, when the young man bethought him of
the sailor trick of putting his fingers in the
sharks eyes, which he did, and to his no small
qualification soon saw the frenzied monster
fleeing from him. johnson now swan to the
vessel, and being taken on board, was found
to have been fearfully torn about the abdo-
men-its lower section entirely off-both
thigh and shoulders being terribly lacerated.
There being no wind to get anywhere, the
crew took him in the yawl and rowed him
eight miles, to the village of Greenport, where
his wounds were sewed up and dressed by
Drs Kendall, Bryant and Skinner, and the
young man made as comfortable under the
circumstances as possible. Is.

A Gay Deceiver Among the Officers.
From the Wheeling (Va.0 Register I


United States Detective Cook, Of Parkers-
burg, reached this city early yesterday morn
ing on the steamer New State, having in
charge a female sharper, whose name and
place of residence he was unable to ascertain.
The woman is charged with swindling Federal

four different military officers within the last
three months. The first she married near
Gallipolis he was a young man who had
just been mustered out of service, and had be-
tween one thousand and twelve hundred dol
lars in greenbacks About week after they
were married, the young wife alleged to have
received letter from her parents requesting
her to come home. She pretended to leave
for home, but before her departure she man.
aged to secure the greater portion of her hrls-
bands money
She was soon in company with another Off
Ger, a hasty marriage, hasty robbery, and a
hasty flight ensued. A third officer was soon
duped, and week or two since another off
Ger fell victim to her caresses and attentions
Soon after the fourth marriage she left her
husband and went to Parkersburg, where she
was overtaken and arrested by officer Cook.
When she was brought to this city her deli
cate little wrists were encased in stout pair
of bracelets, which were securely locked. It
is said the woman has succeeded in stealing
over $4,000 by her duplicity and roguery.
She was yesterday taken over into Ohio, where
it was thought she could be identified and
brought to justice She is young woman,
not more than % years of age, and is rather
prepossessing in appearance.
