For two or three days past a couple of young
men named Charles Guttericht and John r.
Keyser, have been imposing upon the public
in and around the neighborhood of the Seventh
District by collecting money and subscriptions
being delegated for that purpose, so they said
by the Northern Liberty Hose Company, to aid
in buying new carriage. Alderman To-
land hearing of this transaction, looked into
it, and learning that they were obtaining
money without any authority from said COM
pany he issued warrant for their arrest, and
yesterday they were each committed in default
of $1,000 bail TO answer at Court.

Devoted to Literature, Science

Principles Of l77G,

G. -cHAUNCEY BURR, Editor.

i. In Offering to the public the Prospectus
Of the Sixth Volume Of TIE OLD
GUARD, the editor and publishers feel
confident that no explanation Of the charac-
ter of the work is needed Besides the po-
litical matter, of great importance, bearing
upon the principles of the approaching
Presidential Campaign, We shall publish
series ofartces from the penof VAN EvRIE
on the Races of Men, which will be il.
lustrated by beautiful plates OF the different
types Of mankind. This new feature Of
the Magazine will greatly increase the cost
Of publicat on, but no additional price will
be chargedsubscribers or news agents. We
have also had translated expressly for this
Magazine, one of the most thrilling popu-
lar historical novels ever published in the
Italian language, covering the History Of
the Fall Of the italian States, under the
horrible rule Of Caesar Borgia, Duke Of
Valentine, written by MoNrEvERDE, which
will we are confident, excel in popular inter
est, any novel to be brought bctero the
American public during the year 1868. Be-
sides a thrilling lovc.plot, it unvails, with q
pen OF fire, the terrible arts and desperate
deeds which tyranny always resorts to in
fastening itsmiscries upon mankind, This
great novel is most appropriately brought
out IN tins country at the present time, and
cannot fail to make a profound sensation.
Other great literary novelties will appear in
the Sixth Volume Of fTHsEOLDG GCAsss
which will, it is believed, render it even
more acceptable to the ireside than its pre-.
decessors.
