Government bonds to a considerable
amount were lying upon the floor beside

The scene could not have been more
dramatic ifpresented upon the stage. The
CHASTITY, repulsive features, the tattered
habit of the miser, and the wealth for
which he bartered his soul lying around,
formed picture which not even the mimic
scenes Of the stage could rival in intense
dramatic force. 1t exceeded anything the
Imagination almost can conceive. The news
of the discovery of the dead man passed
rapidly from mouth to mouth, and large
numbers visited the apartment to gaze
upon the dead miser surrounded by his
wealth. But as if in mockery Of the life
he led, the money left by the old wretch
secured him decent burial, and he went
down to the grave attired more respecta-
bly, than he had ever known when alive.
Kind hands, forgetful of the past, laid him
tenderly away in the tomb, there to sleep
in oblivion until the last great trump shall
sound, and he shall then learn whether the
treasures of earth are counted among the
treasures of Heaven.

ing his neighbours business and forcing him
into bankruptcy. More recently milliner

Stewart desired to purchase, and refused
to move and give up her business to
suit his convenience. He Immediately
opened the same description of store in
an adjoining building, and soon succeeded
In driving her out Of the business and into
poverty. AS soon as Messrs. Sherman &
Co. opened their dry goods palace at
Union Square, in opposition to Stewart,
the latter resorted to his old tactics, with
what success the recent heavy failure of the
would-be rivals illustrates. All this seems TO
be considered greatly to Stewards credit
by the mercantile community of New York,
but we cannot help viewing it as spe-
cies of oppression, both unfeeling and
contemplate in man as wealthy and as
powerful as he is. II is no compliment to
either his head or his heart that by throw
ing in the scale the wealth Of his enormous
capital he occasionally succeeds in ruin
ing few merchants and reducing their
families to poverty.-Ne,o Orleans Times.

The Death OF Il Rich EeSgar-The EDO
of a Mfser-FGe Dies Counting his
wealth.

The Dcati. OF Il Rich Beggar-Fhe Enti
of Il Mtser-FIe Dies Counting his
Wealth.
We learn from General Miller, one OF
the most popular members of the Board
Of Supervisors, Of the particulars OF the
death of rich beggar in the village OF
Greenbush, named Frederick W. Rowhl,
which exceeds in dramatic interest any
thing we have read in long time. Rowhl
came to Greenbush few weeks ago,
clothed in rags, thin, emaciated, and ap-
parently half starved, looking the very
picture of poverty and Indebtedness. His
appearance was enough to excite the SYM
patty and charity Of every beholder. He
was an old man, bent with age, his hair
whitened with the frosts OF many winters ;
sorrow, poverty, and misery had evidently
been his companions through life.
The miserable wretch secured q room in
a tenement-house in the village, and was
there attended for time by charitable
lady, who brought him food and otherwise
ministered to his wants. Almost every
day the old man would beg in the streets,
and with such good fortune that as often
as he sought aims he returned to his howell

known by the villagers Of the history OF
the old beggar, but it was supposed by all
that he was what he seemed, and to relieve
the distress of fellow creature was be-
lieved to be their highest duty. But little
more than week ago the old man disap-
peared, the door to his room was fastened,
and even the kind lady who had given him
food knew nothing of his whereabouts.
Thus matters went on until Sunday
morning last, when the landlord who had
allowed Rowhl to occupy room in his
tenement concluded TO burst open the
door, little supposing, however, that in
doing so he would come upon the corpse
of the old beggar. But such was the case.
Stretched at full length upon little pal
let of straw lay the dead body of the old
man. He had been dead apparently more
than week, and from the manner in which
bank notes, bonds, deeds, and bank
books were lying upon the floor about him,
it was evident the beggar and miser had
died in struggle counting his boarded
wealth. In his bony fingers he held bank
book showing deposit Of 500 in banks
at North Adams and Pittsfeld, while two
$50 bills served as pillow for his head,
and deeds of property in Pittsticld and

Hancock of affairs in the Flith Military
n;s,r;nt II is quite bombshell among
.,S annnonts of civil law in the South,
and oven though Congress may not be
cnnerors enough to recognize the claims
which General Hancock has upon it
conal at Least to those of any of the other
military commandcrS--for his services
in behalf of good government, yet those
services have all along been such as must
preclude any legislation looking TO hisdetTi~
mcnt. Hancock is now the rising man
among those opposed to the schemes and
workings of RadicalISm, and his services in
war as we'll as in peace are not one whit
behind those of other prominent military
men whose names have been brought for
ward as entitled TO the executive chair Of
the nation. Time, however, will prove
what further demands the country will
have upor him, and for the present it may
only be proper to say that there are those
among his friends who do not think that
his nomination for the Presidency by Il
party entertaining the same sentiments
with regard to civil Jaw and the require
ments OF constitutional authority would be
disregardcd by him. The result Of the
message Of the President to Congress to-
day will be looked at with interest
throughout the country.
Representative Logan wants to remove
the capital further west. Other members
Of Congress arc annually stricken with the
same idea. While the Vein of retrench-
mcnt and reducing expenditures is being
exercised, that project would prove quite
inconsistent with the general course Of
affairs. If the seat Of government should
be removed to one Of the States which
has declared against negro suffrage and
other schemes OF congressional policy,
there might be some additional work given
to the Radicals in the shape of preparing
republican forms of government.
A circular has been issued from the
Office Of the Comptroller Of the Currency,
addressed to the national banks, requiring
to be informed as to the total amount Of
money loaned by them during the year

were made. The replies of. the bank:

his Union Square rivals, Messrs. Sherman

LEXINGTON, VA, December Is, 1867.
On Sunday evening last Rev. DR.. Kirk
patrick delivered lecture before the
Young Mems Christian Association Of
Washington College. His subject" The
adaptation of the Bible to the wants of
young men was happily chosen and ably
and cloquently presented. The large
crowd of young men from the college, the
institute, and the town, seemed deeply
impressed.
The Association is growing in numbers
and increasing in interest and influence,
and bids fair to become power in quick
ening and directing the moral and religious
interests of the college. They are en-
deavoring to secure a suitable library, and
donations Of books sent to their librarian
Mr.. j. a. Graves, would be thankfully re-
ceived. There is q similar association in
successful operation at the Virginia Mill
tary Institute.
The college library has recently received
a donation Of several hundred volumes Of
valuable books from some London pub
fishers, through John r. Thompson, Esq.
The citizens of our town are now enjoying
the usual winter course Of lectures before
the Franklin Society. Colonel }. T. l..
Preston and Professor bod have delivered
very entertaining lectures on AtticuS,
the Roman Neutral" and "DrcamS aud
DrcamcrS." General Pendleton is to de-
liver the next lecture of the course.
We have had several days Of fine skating,
which the young gentlemen Of the college
and institute and the bellies of the town
have not been slow to improve. The first
essays at skating Of some Of the extreme
southern students afford good deal Of
amusement.
But the ice spell is not at all funny to
our merchants who have goods frozen up
on the raging canal. Nor is it pleasant to
those who are compelled to travel by stage
from here to Staunton, OF through the
mountain pass to Goshen.
There has been wonderful improve
ment in the hotel accommodations of our
town since the Lexington House was taken
by Colonel G.. 7. O'Ferrall. From one Of
the worse-kept houses in Virginia it has
become one Of the very best.
Captain Walter Bowie, Of Westmore-
land, has been appointed keeper of the
new College Hotel. He furnished the
highest testimonials Of his fitness for the
position, and will be none the less accept
able to the students and the community
that he is an educated gentleman and was
gallant southern soldier, being manned
for life on the heights of Gettysburg.
Our people are very much pleased at
the calm, dignitied action of tho Conser-
vative Convention, and will rally on its
platform with entire unanimity.
The series of meetings in the Methodist
church here closed last week-having re-
suited in upwards Of forty professions Of
