A SvISDLER CAUsHT-0n Monday evening
last, after dark, man entered the store of Joseph
Lipinski, clothiers, on Main street between Nine
tenth and Twentieth and after making several
purchases amounting 70 twenty-five dollars, ten
dered check for fifty dollars, payable to {. w.
Williams or bearer, in payment purporting to have
been signed by hessrs. SPOTS Harvey. and
which was represented as being as good as gold.
The purchaser received the goods and twenty five
dollars in change, and departed. Yesterday morn
ing Messrs. Spots & Harvey pronounced the
check forgery, and Lipinski and his friends at
once commenced q search for the man who had so
successfully swindled him. At q late hour in the
afternoon he found his man on Main street, and the
party at once laid violent hands upon him. After
numerous threats and some resistance, he was
taken to the police station, where he gave his
name as Alexander D. Cheatwood. He vas
searched, but nothing but few old letters and two
stencil plates were found.
Cheatwood was recognized as 4 young man,
who, q few years ago, was in good standing in the
community. During the war he, however, com
miIted numerous forgeries, for which he was sem
fenced to the penitentiary for nine years. He was
subsequently pardoned on promise Of joining the
Confederate army. Whether he ever fulfilled his
promise we are not informed. We understand
that he was at one time engaged in business as
clerk for Messrs. Spots i Harvey, and was also
for a while with Messrs. Lathrop Christian -
When we last saw him he had been presented by
Captain Roche with a pair Of iron bracelets and
put in quarters where the dogs couldn't bite him.
He will be brought before Judge McEntee this
morning.

afforded at so low price, that they are literally
getting into everybodys hands, just as the praises

any hesitation whatever, pronounce them the best
dyes ever manufactured, while at the same time
they are the cheapest in price. The ladies are
particularly delighted with them. octll-lt

BUSINESS NOTICES.

EcLIPsE.-The poor moon had the shine taken
out Of her recently by what those sky detectives,
called astronomers, name an eclipse; but Lana
being a rival of Sol, is determined that the shine
shall be taken ont of him, too,-and so, on the
18th, the god Of day will get slap on the face
that will give him black eye, or, in astronomer
words he will be eclipsed. Astronomers and
eclipse are hard words in fact tn ~ are The jar
gon got up by people who make money by Sc ling
dictionaries, whereas star gszers and dark
ness" would express the whole thing. Let US
tell you what an eclipse is. Did you ever sail at
night on Chesapeake Bay in a little boat ?
If you did, you must have seen a
lighthouse. WE'LL if the fine steamer
Georgisns or Agnes passed between you and il,
then, of course, you lost sight Of the light
That's called obs3uration-in fact an eclipse
thence poor people are called obscure, because
they are lost sight Of altogether by the ri,h.
Well, now, this world Of ours is Ike an apple
stuck with pins all over the heads diverging from
the centre in every direction-(the pins represent
Us poor mortals.) Then there is a whole lot of
other balls, and al these kesp constantly whirl-
ing about in space like a dancing party, 10 q
mcsic Of our own. 10 wit: the music of the
spheres-(wonderw what Dr. Hopson think of tina:
music l)-and when one Of them gets between
cording 70 its size That's the whole thing in
nutshell. Therefore, don't bother yours IF with
slgebraic quantities, celestial globes, sines and
cosines calculus, logarithms, Euclid, &C., &c.
but just get piece Of glass, smoke it, and you
will see the dark side Of nature" If you want
10 see the bright side, though, go to William Tay-
lors and look at the forty hogsheads Of bright
sides he has for sale. Astronomy is q humbug,
compared with them.

PRESIDENT JOHNSON AND THE COLoREr
TROOPS.

VOhNOON AM Inn SOA-NhIN
TROOPS.
WASHINGTON, Oct. lO.-President johnson re-
viewed the returned colored troops to-day, at the
Executive mansion after which he made brief
speech, in which he said that liberty did not con
sist of being idle and worthless, or in doing as
one pleased. There must be submission to law
without regard to color.
Liberty consisted of the glorious privilege to
work-each one pursuing his avocation in peace
with industry and economy-and TO enjoy the
productions of our own labor. Virtue and intel
lirence we're the standard to observe as their rul
ing principle in life.
If the experiment of taking four millions lately
freed and Incorporating them in our system did
not work harmoniously, then they must separate
as distinct people.
If the laws of Providence required that they
should separate, Providence would point the way.
They were to take to the land of their inheri
lance, if there was one before them.

BOSTON DRY GOODS MARKET-OcToBER 6
From the Boston Shipping List
The market for Cotton Goods was comparative
ly quiet early in the week, but near the close
there is considerable excitement partly on &C.
count of the advance in Cotton and gold, and
also ia consequence Of the cool weather, which
stimulates trade. The low water, in connection
with the scarcity and inferior quality of opera
tives tends to check production, and all descrip-
tions are scarce. In Woolens there continues to
be very fair business doing aud the market sus.
tains full prices for all kinds.
The market for Cotton Goods has been quite
iuctuating, but closes with an active demand and
a tendency to higher prices. We quote sales of
standard brown Sheetings at 33a34c. Fine Cot
tons and bleached goods continue to sustain pre-.
vious prices and remain about as befooe. stan.
dard brown Drills are quick at Doc aud Denims,
firm. Prints are in very fair demand and sales
are making principally from 30a33c. for leading
styles. Lancaster Ginghams are in demand at
Csc. DeLsines are active and tend upward. The
Manchester goods are all sold up at 35c. for De.
LANES, 36c Pique Cloth, and 55c. for all wool
DeLaines- The goods If the Pacific Company
are selling freely at Csc. for DeLaines 373c for
high colors 364c. for Armures 42sa45c. for Ne
linos and 37lc. for Alpaccss. The Hamilton DE.
LANES are in fair demand at 36c.
Wooden goods are firm with good demand for
ssasonabie fabrics. There has been little If any
accumulation of Woolens thus far this season,
owing in part TO the lessened production, from
scarcity of water, which has obliged many mills
TO stop entirely. Good styles are much In demand.
