FALSE RELIGION.

I do not lIko 10 hear him pray,
On bended knees about an hour,
For grace to spend Alright each day.
Who knows his neighbor has no flour.
do not like to hear him pray,
Let blessings on the widow be-"
Who never seeks her house to say,
"If want o'ertakes you, come to me-"
do not like TO hear her pray,
with jeweled hands and sllkcn dress,
Whose washerwoman works all day,
And then is asked to toll for less.
do not like such souless prayers,
If wrong, l hope to be forgiven
No angel wing them upward bears,
They're lost a million miles from heaven.

Moshy a Prisoner.

I, is stated by Richmond paper that
John S. Mosby, the guerrilla leader, was
recently arrested at his home, in Fauquier
county, Virginia, and takeu to Winchester,
upon charge of having hanged two Federal
soldiers during the war, in retaliation for
the murder of his own men. Mosby claimed
to be a regular Confederate officer; but as he
had command of a set of fellows who were
ouiy called upon when wanted, and who,
after they had done certain piece ofbloody
or thievish work, went to their homes to
await the next summons, men who were guer.
rillasby night and farmers by day, The terms of
Lees Surrender had to be strained almost tc
breaking in order to afford him the benefit
thereof. The United States are determined
while recognizing the validity of the parole
10 punish all ofienses which were against
the rules of civilized war. Mosby was moi
very particular, rumor says, about such OBJ
seryance Hence his present trouble, if the
statement of hs arrest be true.

Fatal Affair.

On Monday last, about , P. NJ, Elmira
Shaw, daughter Of Peter Shaw, met with
a fatal accident The facts are as follows
She was working at the stove when her
clothes took fire, and as soon as she discov
cred that her clothing was burning she
made an effort to su5due the Gre, but fail
ing to do so, she rushed to the hall, wi en- a
daughter Of Mr. j. H. Fetherman dashed
4 bucket Of water over her. She then
made an effort to get out doors but the
front door being locked she failed to get
out. From the hall she rushed to the
bed room and got on TIE bed. BY this
time her clothes were burnt of. The
bed also took FIRE, which was scos extin-
quished. Mr.. Fetherman and wife were
from home, and the only inmates in
the house at the time, were her father
who was too in6rm to render any assi>
tance, and two Of Fetherman's children,
one hey about ten years old and a
daughter, about thirteen years who made
every effort TO save her. She died about
nine o'clock in the evening Of the same
day. Aged about 30 years

Return of Gov, Curtin

The Governor of Pennsylvania has re-
turned from his visit to Cuba, having
arrived at Harrisburg On Monday last,
somewhat unexpectedly to his friends at
home. Since his departure and con-
sequent release from the cares Of office,
his health has steadily improved. His
physician says that the alarming symp
toms, from which he has so long suffered
have nearly disappeared under the in
huence Of a mild climate. This intelli-
gence is gratifying to the people of the
State with whom the Governor is univer-
sally popular. His early return will en-
able the course of legislation to proceed
without further delay or uncertainty, and
the proposed adjournment of the Legisla
ture to await his presence is now need
less.
Since his arrival he has been busy pre-.
pairing his usual annual message, which
although it may be completed by Wed
nesday, will not be transmitted to the
Legislature before Monday.

Audacious Robbery.---$7o.o0O Stolen Of
a Bank Messenger.

One of the boldest robberies that has
come under our notice recently occurred
on Friday morning, at 8 o'clock, on the
corner of Beekman and William sts., in
the presence of large numbers of street
passengers, and almost under the very
noses of the police authorities themselves
At that hour, the messenger of the
Farmers and Citizens Bank of Brooklyn,
a lad by the name of Samuel Terry, was
proceeding to the Park Bank, Beekman
ST., near Nassau ST. with package con
tanning the regular exchanges of the two
houses. This package was stated by the
officers of the Park Bank to have contain
ed about S70,000-$20,O0O of which
were secured by duplicate checks, but
this has since proved to be misstate
ment
According to the statement of the mes
senger, while he was passing the corner
of Beekman aud William sts., at 8 o'clock
Yesterday morning, two men in a wagon
suddenly halted at his side. One OF
them sprang out, struck him stunning
blow in the face, at the same time mena-
cling him with a pistol, the muzzle OF
which he clapped against his breast. IN
another instant the precious package was
snatched from the hand of the bewilder
ed messenger. The man leapel backin
to the wagon with his prize, his conrade
applied the whip vigorously, and the da,
ring robbers we're out of sight, before their
victim had recovered from his surprise
and terror, which we're so great as to pre-
vent him from making the slightest out
cry.
A crowd collected Immediately after
ward, and the intelligence of the affair
created considerable commotion in the
street, but the thieves were off. The boy
at once went to the Police Station, only
half block from the scene of theft, and
told his story as well as his confusion
would permit
The above account is the substance OF
what he said, and, though wearing an all
Of improbability at the first, there can be
little question of its truth The amount
stolen is variously stated. One Of the of
fcers of the Bank to which the messen
ger belongs stated at the Police Station
that the package contained $ll 900 in
currency and $4,000 in checks but the
cashier of the same Bank subsequently
modified the amount in checks to 81 900
The latter statement is correct, making
the amount stolen $4,000.
The police were notified of the theft sc
soon after it's occurrence, and have since
acted so earnestly in the matter, that the
robbers will probably be soon arrested
and the stolen funds recovered.
y reward of 81 900 has been offered By
the Bank authorities for the arrest of The
thieves and the recovery of the property

Precinct on Saturday night arrested Da

Serious Accident at Naglesyille

A very serious accident occurred at
Naglesyille, in this County, on Saturday
evening last Mrs John Weaver attemp-
ted to fill a kerosene-oil lamp while the
latter was burning, and while doing so
the oil became ignited, causing terrible
explosion, and in an instant enreloping
her in flames Mr.. Weaver, who was a
sleep in the same room at the time, was
awakened by the explosion of the oil and
the cries Of his wife, and sprang to her
assistance. The flames were smothcred
in short tine by wrapping her in some
heavy bed clothing, but not before the
victim was severely burned. Her face,
neck, shoulders, arms and back are Gov
cred with large aud deep burns. The
right arm and hand are completely char
red and entirely insensible TO external
impressions.
We are informed by her medical atten-
dant that her recovery is exceedingly
doubtful.
