Pass HIN ARoUEp-The following was
furnished us some weeks since by Esq. Craig,
and misla;d, but it is never too late to ChTon-
icle an act Of honesty such as he relates:
GALLITEIN. Feb. %. 1868.
To the Cambria FreemdR-On Friday last
a young German, on his way to the West
by the Emigrant train, came to the telegraph
office at This place, and made known by signs
and gestures that he had lost his money
lie could not speak q word OF English. but
smote his breast saying, "Mein Gott Mein
Gott! nein geit is folora was will I DO ?''
The same day Fredeni Ehrenfelt, employed
on the Pa. Il. R., found package of $29G
about a mile west of Altoona, which fact
was telegrapAed to Pittsburgh and the young
German informed Of it. lie returned to
GaIlitzin, described his money and received
it, rejoicing in his good luck and remarking
that he thought the people here were not so
honest as the generous finder Of his money
had proved to be.
Mr.. Ehrenfelt, the honest finder of the
money, might have retained it. No one saw
him find it, but his own convictions of right
impelled him to this honest and praisewor-
thy act. Deeming such deed deserving Of
notice. hope you win give this a place in
the Freeman.
Yours. respectfully, SAMUEL CRAIG.

THE SHOOTING AFFRAY IN BALTINoRE.-Mrs.
Natilie Pollard the wife Of f. A. Pollard, who
was committed 20 jail on Tuesday evening on the
,harge of shooting at and woundinE in the wrist
Dr. G. A. Moore, still remains in that institution
and will probably continue there some time, as
che positively refuses 10 allow any one TO go her
bail. Mrs. Pollard appeared quite cheerful yes
terday, and conversed freely with all who sp-
preached her. but when spoken TO concerning her
husband who has been absent from her for some
time, she invariably declined continuing the con-
veTsation. She has q wound In the thick part Of
her right hand. which she AYERS having received
during the scuflle at Dr. Moore's store. Mrs. POI
lard told friends who visited her yesterday that
having had her trunks and effects seized by the
proprietor Of the hotel where she had been left
by Mr.. Pollard, she on Tuesday wandered out
half frantic 10 endeavor 10 hear Of or to ind her
husband that, knowing that he had been init.
mate with Dr. Moore, she went TO the establish
ment Of the latter where the affair took place,
which will likely lead TO judicial investigation.
she, however, disclaims any recollection OF having
fred the pistol. In the jail Mrs. Pollard occu'
pies one Of the large rooms usually set apart for
United States witnesses, and, OF course, will not
be allowed 10 want for anything in reason whilst
under the care Of Warden Haney.
Mrs. Pollard yesterday heard from her hush and,
who is in New York, through dispatch received

The Retort Severe.
A SALTY CARD FROM ADMIRAL sEnlrs.
fErnm The Msmphls Avalanche. ]

IFrom the Memphis Avslanchel
During my recent lecturing tour through Ken
lucky, was so constantly moving rom place 70
place that did not see the Northern papers very
regularly, and consequently many of their stric-
lures escaped my eye. Since my return 10 Mem
phis have been informed by my friends OF certain
coarse and ill.mannered attacks made upon me Dy
the New York Times and other kindred sneets,
which. under the control Of " Little Villains" and
big villains have been psndering to the taste oil
their readers. None Of these prints nave eOntro-
verted any Of the points made In my lectures
these points being, unfortunately Ter them, FACTS
Instead. they have INDUCED in personal vitupers-
ton this being the only means left them OF graft
fyiug the undyiDg malaee which small spin
always feel toward those who have de-
stroyed their property. The Times, l
understand, for have not reen the article, be-
came quite merry oyer the fact stated by me In
one of my lectures. that when captured the Cali
fornia steamer Ariel did not permit the passen-
gers TO be despoiled OF any portion OF their money
or personal effects, limiting myself 20 the capture
of the steamer and her freight. While l struck
sturdy and hearty blows at the COM
merce Of the enemy, as was my unty,
this was my constant practice at sea,
and contrasted in the lecture referred to by the
Times, this practice with the shameful robberies
perpetrsted by Sherman and his " bum1ers ="
upon the women and children Of the South, burn
ing from over their heads the houses which shell
tered them from the storm, and robbing them not
only of their iewelry, but Of their food and cloth
ing Will the Times cease moment its abusive
rhetoric and deny the facts stated by me! II SO,
I call upon the five hundred passengers whom
captured on board the Ariel TO contradicti'.
Will it object to the contrast l have presented
OF nv own conduct upon the sea, where private
property is not subject to capture, and the con-
duct of the vandals / have mentioned upon the
land, where private property is not subject to
capture! II dare not. II is time, then, that all
this sepseless clamor about the piracies of the
Alabama had ceased. Her commission was as
legitimate as that of Gen. Lee, and no one but an
ass will seek to draw any distinction. SANDER
Gus Northern press has poisoned the public mind
as TO the career Of my ship, and believing in the
fairness Of the American people, | design at my
leisure, and as opportunity may offer, to present
TO my countymen the Jdcts-those stubborn
things at which all the radical pack, Blanche
Tray and Sweetheart may bark at in chorus, bal
not one title of which they can alter. In due
time / will lay these facts before the people Of
New York that they may no longer be deceived
BY such untruthful sheets as the New York Time

SUCCESSFUL Actors AND ACTREssEs.-Mr. 10
sepb Jefferson has the reputation Of being one Of
the most financially successful members of the
theatrical profession. A large proportion of his
wealth was acquired years since in Australia and
California. His profits at present average two
thousand dollars week. The " season Is about
thirty weeks.
Edwin Booth has the reputation of being the
weathiest member, however, of the American
theatrical corps. His season is also about thirty
weeks. His average is three thousand dollars a
week. His new theater will not be finished until
December In the interval it is rumored that he
will fill an engagement at Pixies Opera House, in
this city.
Among the otter actors who are earning good
incomes are Mr.. j. E. Owens, whose receipts are
$1,000 a night; Mr.. Barney Williams, who has
already amsssed q handsome fortune, and who
averages $500 week, with Mrs. Barney Williams
as much more in the season John Brougham,
who makes about $500 a week Mrs. Lander, the
same. J. E. Murdoch is also very wealthy. Miss
Maggie Mitchell, who is always, and has been
from the first, very successful, makes about $500
week Lolita, tie next most successful actress,
a sprightly little bit Of quicksilver" who has
risen into celebrity only within the past two years,
makes about $500 a week; J. s. Clarke, about the
same, or possibly about $1,000; Mrs. d. P. Bowers,
$500; z. J.. Davenport, $500; J. W. WALLACE

DEATH OF A FORMER CELEBRITY.-JOhn Thomp'
son Norton, formerly well known as performer
on the cornet-a-p piston both as public performer
and teacher on that instrument and the piano,
died in this city on Friday last. He was an Eng
lshman by birth. and formed part Of the house,
hold OF William w, of England. He made his
first appearance at Niblo's, in New York, and
came TO Philadelphia, where he was prominent
dttdch6 of the then new Chestnut street Theater.
He was prominent at the Musical and Philharmonic
Concerts, and his trial of skill with SgnOr Gass-
bate an eminent Italian artist, attracted crowded
audiences, both in Philadelphia and Neg York,
Mr.. Norton carry ing of all the prizes. He sup
piled the United States government with bugles
during the late rebellion, and held in high es-
tmation by General George Cadwslader and other
eminent officers. He was in the $50 year OF his
age. For many years past he has lived in the
quiet retirement of bachelor life, happy and
cOntented in the cOmpanionship of his faVorite
dogs and the intimacy of several of our citizens
who have been his devoted friends.
Mr.. Norton's last performance in any public
way was, we believe on the evening of July 2,
1852, on the occasion of the obsequies of Henry
Clay, when he was the actor 10 a touching incl
dent. The funeral procession passed his rooms,
at the corner Of Fifth and Minor streets, shortly
before midnight, and as the military escort which
preceded the hearse reached his windows, the
veteran trumpeter commenced an exquisite ims
promptu dirge upon bis fayOrite instrument,
which be played with pathos of expression and
purity of execution which will never be forgotten
by those who heard it. The midnight hour, the
were all in keeping with the superb performance
and formed a remarkable AMI sppTo pirate clio G
to his long and brilliant public career.
