The Oxfords passed Barnes bridge only two
lengths ahead, the Harvards having made brilliant
squirt before reaching the bridge by which they
gained about three quarters of length. The cox.
swain merely sprinkled water IN Lorings face. The
Judge says the Harvards we're only half length,
clear water, in the rear at the finish.
Alter the race the two crews dined at M0rtake
with Mr.. Phillips, who invited a large party to meet
them. During the dinner the oxford men, IN
speeches said the was, if not the hardest, at
least az hard as any they had ever contested, and
praised the pluck and work OF the Harvards.
rhe Harvards consider that their steering was
rather ont. making possible difference Of from
Aaf length to length. L0ring was rather unwell
owing TO over-training.
Tue Harvards are wen satisfied with their work
ana pleased with the arrangements which prevented
any difficulty during the race. The general opinion
is that the race was thoroughly weh contested.
Great praise res0unds Oh all sides for each crew.

Treasurer Spinner mas written a letter in respect
TO the redemption OF mutilated currency, and as o
any rules authorized or approved by the depart
ment for detecting cOunterfeits IN which he says:
No instructions have been issued by the Depart
lnent relative to the mode OF ascertaining the gen.
uneness OF United States notes, but the decision as
TO the character OF the pOtes presented to them has
been left to the discretion OF the officers themselves.
The Department has never promulgated or approved
any system set of rules for the detection OF
terfetts for the reason that II believed general
roles DO laid down which would render all per-
sons who may study them good judges OF money.
A careful comparison Of suspected notes with those
known to be genuine, good natural dlscernment and
familiarity OF the different kinds OF notes re-
gusitc to enable persons TO distinguish counterfeit
from genuine notes with certainty.

BURGLAR FOILED.-On Tuesday even
ing the store and residence of Mr.. P.
Kennedy, corner OF Main street and
Market alley, were entered, but before
the burglar had time 10 secure any
booty, he was discovered. Mr.. X. and
one Of his clerks had been out in town
during the evening, and returning,
entered the store by unlocking the front
door. AS they were going to the rear
of the store room they heard a door in
another part of the building shut with
some violence, and on reaching the door
whence the sound came, found it held
by some one on the opposite side. Mr..
X. at once went for an officer, but dur
ing his absence the rascal made his
escape through the store room into the
street. Sergeant Conant was soon on
the spot, but the bird had flown.
1t is believed that the fellow got into
the building sometime during the day
and secrcted himself until night, as
none OF the outside doors and windows
had been disturbed. The drawers along
the south side of the store room were
drawn partially out, but nothing had
been taken from them.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.-A German re-
siding in East Wheeling md following
the honest occupation of II baker, at
tempted TO take his life on Tuesday,
and came near succeeding. We hear
that for some time he has not enjoyed
domestic felicity in the highest degree,
and TO quiet his disturbed mind he
poured down a considerable quantity
of whisky on the day mentioned. Re-
turning home in the evening he told his
wife that he was tired OF living, and
going TO a cupboard he took therefrom
a paper OF arsenic, which had been
purchased to kill rats. Implying into
a glass about n teaspoonfull and half
OF the poison, he poured on 1t some
water, and stirring 1t up, drank of II
portion. Fortunately for him, however,
the poison settled at the bottom of the
glass, so that he swallowed but little OF
it. His wife, seeing what he had done,
was much frightened and Immediately
sent off for a physician. On his arrival,
a powerful antidote was administered
and the would-be suicide had n new
lease of life granted him.

Iris strange to see with what careless
ness some invalids attend to their
health. They will procure a box of
PLANTATION BTTTERs, which ought to
be used up in a month or six weeks,
and upon inquiry it is found that they
have used only two or three bottles.
Some days they have used it according
to the directions, and others have not
touched it. The whole trial has been
irregular, and OF course less favorable
result has come from their use. II it be
true that "what is worth doing at all is
worth doing WELL" how emphatically
is it true in matters relating to the
health, A few bottles of PLANTATION
BITTERs have often wrought wonders,
while in other instances disease has
only been subdued after weeks of re-
sistance.
