No information was to be got here,
and Mr.. Penfold and Nancy Rouse
went home greatly disappointed, and
puzzled what to do.
Al first sight it might appear easy for
Mr., Penfold to learn the new address of
Miss Rolleston. He had only to ask
Arthur Wardlaw. But, to tell the
truth, during the last fortnight Nancy
Rouse had Impressed her views steadily
and persistently on her mind, and he
had also made a discovery that cooper
ated with her influence and arguments
10 undermine his confidence in his en-
ployer. What that discovery was we
must leave him to relate.
Looking, then, at matters with less
unsuspicious eye than heretofore, he
could not help observing that Arthur
Wardlaw never put into the Office letter
box a single letter for his sweetheart.
He must write to her, thought Michael;
but 1 am not to know her address,
Suppose, alter all, he did intercept that

: The FENCE LAw.-The continued case Of
DR.. 8. D. Drewry against several citizens Of
Manchester for trespass OF cattle under the
existing fence law was before Justices Nor
gan, Hancock, and Moody, on yesterday.
After hearing the evidence in7the case, and
examining the Law, as passed by the county
court, the court rendered its decision in
favor of the plaintiff. This is 9 case, which
has greatly agitated the owners Of COWS in
Manchester, as also the farmers whose
lands border upon'the prescribed limits Of
the fence law; and We presume that unless
an. appeal is taken this decision may be
considered as final, and will be referred to
in all future controversies Of q like charac-
ter. II go, the owners Of COWS, etc., will
do well to see that they do not stray beyond
the prescribed limits, which line Is the
fence, and will be, liable to any damage
which the landowners may sustain.
INcEND1ARIsM.-Aho house on the, farm Of
DR.. A. II. Perkins, near Manchester, was
burned early on Monday morning. We
learn it was the work Of an incendiary.
The house had just been finished, snd was
erected for the purpose Of " guard house." :"
to prevent depredations on fences and crops
on that part Of the farm.
The PHrL0LoGIAN Society of Manches-
ter was re0rganized on Friday night last by
the election of the following officers for the
present term {: President, Colonel William
Anbers; First Vice-President, Captain
William I. Clopton; Second Yice-P President,
Samuel P. Weisiger; Secretary, s. r.
Owen; Treasurer, A. Knorr Critic, Rev.
b. E. Cosby; Censor, R. q. Beszley Lii
The next regular meeting Of the Society
will be held at their hall, in rearof the
Baptist church, on Friday night next at
half-past Z o'clock; ct which time the
officers elect will be regularly installed.

The ARMY BoARD.-The board Of United
States army officers called to meet at mill
tary headquarters yesterday to inquire into
the character and capacity of the numerous
patriots wishing to serve their country In
some profitable manner did not meet &C.
cordipg to order, in consequence of the non
arrival of General Wilcox. We learn that
every State except Alaska and Utah Is
represented in the List Of applicants, and
that the number of patriots willing to
leave their country for their own ceuntry's
good in order to serve our country is un-
precedented since the days Of the Nicara-
guam expedition. One applicant is willing
to enter upon the contemplated temperance
movement, and take an anti drinking oath,
provided he can get a soft place. This man
is, we hear, an ex-inmate Of the Connecticut
inebriate asylum; but this consideration
is counterbalanced by the fact Of his init
mate acquaintance with Henry Wilson Of
Massachusetts,. He wants to be- judge on
the supreme bench. The amount Of paper
used by the patriots is immense, and 1t if
contemplated to put wrapping paper
mill in operation at headquarters. Several
tons per day can be turned out from the
amount of material already on hand.
