| Two lads named Jones were arrested
day or two ago and sent to Jail, to await
trial for stealing turkeys. This offence
was supposed to have been committed in
October last. The warrants were issued
in the beginning Of November, but not
served until last week
| The summing up of all the cases of last
week amounts to this, that some eight
bad characters have run off from town,
about the same number have been sent to
Jail to answer more serious charges, up
wards Of 800 were collected as fines, &c.
| A lot of ground IN Conemaugh boro.,
known as the "island property" belonging
to the heirs of Welch, Jones & Co.; was
sold last week, by John Grouse. Esq,
agent for the Administrative, for the sum
of S2,100. Capt. w. B. Bonaker was
the purchaser. A few years ago this
property was not considered worth over
5000. Mr.. Grouse informs me that as
sooE as a partition of the estate can be
made, all the Welch & Jones property
will be thrown into the market. 1t con-

ground around the old Basin, and some of
it is the most valuable in town.
A meeting of the soldiers came off in
Council Chamber last week, for the pur-
pose of petitioning the Legislature to
equalize the bounties of volunteers during
the war. A committee was appointed to
draw up petition and procure signers to
, the same, after which the meeting ad-
journed. The largest bounty paid (s4OO,
believe is taken as basis, and the
Legislature petitioned to equalize the
, bounties of '61 and '62 soldiers with this
amount.
Hon. G. L. Pershing has presented to
the Legislature the bill providing for the
t establishment of District Court in this
place. Also, bill to incorporate the

TURNED Up AGAIN.-Our readers will
remember the man M'Creery who was
2ardoned out of the Western Penitentiary
in December last, expressly to enable him
Ito testify in the case of the Comth. against
Huser and Houser, and whose evidence
aic ed SO materially In convicting those
two men of the crime of murder. NJ
Creery seems to be an incorrigible villain
1.-The two terms he has already served in
the penitentiary have proved signally un-
lavailing to win him from the path of vice
to that of virtue. The other tunes, he

evidence before our Court, in December
last, he went west, to Ohio, plying his

of operations was to have a small boy,
whom he paid fixed salary per month,
dispose of the bogus uotes, while he laid
back in the shade, keeping the supply
equal to the demand. In Eric, as luck
would haveit, the boy was detected pas
sing had bill, and was promptly arres-

the whole thing. just at present, the
police are looking most diligently for NJ
Creery, who is non est.
