An Important Capture.

Lieut.. Davis, of the rebel army, was
arrested at Newark, Ohio, few days since.
He was on his way from Canada to the
South, via Washington. The Importance
of his capture consists in the fact that he
was for some time in charge of the prison
at Andersonville where our brave soldiers
suffered such torture. He was recognized
on the cars by a young soldier, who had
been prisoner under him, and had felt
the effects of his brutal tyranny. He
said that his name was Cummings; but
on his arrival at Newark, there happened
to be some other soldiers there who had
been prisoners at Andersonvillc, and they
too recognized him. Being unable to face
down the array of evidence which con-
fronted him, he finally confessed that he
was the man, and yielded to his fate with
as much composure as he could command

The Wooden Watch.

There is an old trick often played upon
couBtFymen in London, called the wood
en- dodge" \ country greenhorn is walk
ing in the street, when man, dressed
as respectable farmer, addresses him, in
quiring the way to some street, saying he
is stranger in London.
swell be stranger myself" replies
the countryman.
The sharp then enters into converse
tion with the fiat, and finally invites him
to take glass Of ale with him they pro
ceed to some public house in the neigh
borhood. In the tap room is a gentle
man with handsome gold chain. The
chap politely asks him the time of day.
''I can't tell you, replies the man.
"Well," says the sharp, "what is the
good of having chain without watch?"
81 have got watch"
"Lct's see it, then, if you have got one?"
The man refuses, but persists that he
has watch. He esoon after goes to sleep.
"Now," says the sharp to the country
man, II don't believe that fellow has got
a watch, though he has such fine
chain. He's asleep | shall see ifhe has. !"
He then pulls out the chain of the
sleeping man and exhibits a round lump
of wood attached to the end of it.
"There," says he, II knew the fellow
was humbugging he has got no watch.
Now" addressing the countrymau, ''we'll
see if we can't get him when he wakes" "
The man wakes up, and the sharp says,
"Iou have not get watch"
II have" replies the other: "Pll bet
you five pounds | have got watch at the
end of this chain"
"Lets bet him." says the sharp to the
countryman. "We'll go halves he does
not know that we have looked in his pOck-
ct, and thinks we won't bet"
The countryman, having seen plainly
that there was only piece of wood at
tached to the chain, offers to bet. The
bet is accepted, and the man who is
confederate of the sham countryman,
pressing a spring in the wood, shows that
it encloses a small gold watch, and takes
possession of the five pounds, thus gain
ing two pounds and ten shillings in the
operation. The sham couutryman con-
doles, of course, with the greenhorn, and
takes his departure as soon as possible.

A Novel Marriage In Pennsylvania.

The Lancaster (Pa.) Press says that 3
large crowd of persons assembled in the
Mennonite Church, in that city, on Sun.
day morning last, to witness the marriage
between two members of the Mennonite
persuasion. The ceremony was perform.
ed by Rev. John Kohr, assisted by Rev
Christian Wilmer. To those of the audi
ence who never witnessed a wedding of
members of this denomination, the affair
was novel and interesting. The sermon
was appropriate to the occasion. The
preacher read from the Sd to the 10th
verses of the 18th chapter of Matthew,
and from the 22d verse to the end of the
5th chapter of Ephesians, basing his re.
marks on these passages of the Scripture
The whole discourse was devoted to the
duties of candidates fer matrimony tc
each other, and their spiritual relations
to "Christ, the head of the Church.
At the conclusion of the regular exer
else the marriage rife was performed in
front of the pulpit. The bridegroom was
asked whether he believed this sister of
his faith was allotted by Christ, to be bis
wife, and whether he was free from all
other women's persons. Affirmative an
swers being given, similar questions were
put to the bride and answered. The u
sual questions were put and answered,
when the twain were pronounced man
and wife. The manner of bringing about
marriages between the members of this
denomination differs from that of other
Christians. What is called "courting" is
done by their preachers, the candidates
for matrimonial honors not being allowed
to visit the object of their Affections
When brother wishes to take to himself
one Of the sisters as wife, the fact is
communicated to the preacher who makes
known to the sister the feelings of this
brother, and if no objections be made on

a Lethargic Lover.

The writer of a scientific article in the
Patrie relates singular instanse of pro-
longed lethargy. A farm servant at Rou-
en-, who was about to marry, learned sud
denly that his intended bride, with whom
he was passionately in love, had deceived
him, and was on the point of becoming
the wife of another. The young man,
although of an excitable nature, betrayed
no signs of impatience, but yawned,
stretched himself, and then complained
of heaviness in the head and feeling
of drowsiness. He went to bed and fell
asleep; but the next day it was found
that he could not be awakened Efforts
to arouse him were made continually for
a week, but with 10 better success. He

convulsive movement of the eyes. An
attempt was made to make him swallow
little wine and broth, but the process
of deglutition did not take place and the
liquids flowed from his mouth At the
expiration of the above mentioned period
he awoke and manifested his surprise al

scarcely believe that he slept more than
two hours. The alarming leanncss tC

peared; he recovered his previous strength
and shortly after consoled himself for BIZ
faithless sweetheart by marrying another
