ARREST OF THE LANCASTER Posi-
MAsTER.-A despatch to the Charleston
Ne,os. dated August 25, says:
j. H. w. Cousart, the postmaster at
this place, was arrested on last Thursday
night, (the 10th instantly on o charge Of
forgery, preferred against him by Strait
& Davis, druggists of this place. The
case was heard before Magistrate B. J.
Witherspoon, and tho evidence elected
was as follows: On July 31st, Strait &
Davis mailed a letter containing two
checks on the United States Treasury at
Charleston, and an order on G. W. Will
liams & Co., payable at sight, to Dowie
& Noise, of Charlestc n. The checks wei
abstracted and the letter, it is supposed,
was destroyed. On the 18th instant,
letter was written and mailed in Colum-
bus, directing Dowie ~ Noise to pay to
one ''James Smith," the order drawn on
Ct. w. Williams Il Co., already mention
ed, the forged signature of Strait & Da
Wis being attached to the letter. The
guilty parties, it is supposed, intended to
send this letter to G. W. Williams e. Co.,
but sent it by mistake to Dowie & Noise,
which led to the discovery of the crimi-
nails. Dowie & Noise returned the letter
to Strait & Davis with an inquiry rs to
its meaning, and Strait & Davis were not
long in ferreting out the forger. All the
circumstances throw the suspicion of
guilt upon j. 81. w. Cousart, the post
master at Lancaster Court House, with
scarcely doubt Of its truth. Cousart
was in Columbia at the time the letter to
Dowie Noise was mailed at that place,
though it purported to come from Lsn-
caster. The letter was dated July 80,
but the post mark was August 13. This
told the tale. The letter was also identi-
fed as being in the handwriting of Cou-
sart. which established his guilt
After an unsuccessful attempt to obtain
bail, Cousart was committed to Jail. His
brother, R. w. Cousart, who is a magis-
trate, and one of the greatest scamps un-
hung, fearful of shouldering the re-
sponsibility of releasing him, persuaded
negro magistrate to sign release for
Postmaster Cousart at q late hour of the
night, without satisfying the bond.
Postmaster Cousart has not been seen
here since his release, and is supposed to
be in Columbia seeking the friendly pro-
lection of the craven officers, or making
his way Northward.
The frequent visits of Cousart 70 Co.
lumbia since his appointment lead to the
conclusion that he has an accomplice ut
that place. learn that one of the Cou
sarts confesses that registered and other
letters were robbed by this Postmaster
Cousart.

TANNING. recipe for tanning skins
OF animals with the hair on, which,
though doubtless familiar to our pro.
fessional readers, may interest those who
may have occasion to prepare such mr.
tic!es for themselves. The skins to be
tanned, of whatever character, are to be
well washed while still fresh, and care
fully cleaned of the fat and flesh. They
are then to be placed in a solution Of
oak bark and taken out twice day, en-.
tirely freed from the liquid and we'll
rubbed up. In every forty eight hours
they, are to be placed in stronger bath,
until they are finished, which will be in
about six weeks. The skins are then TO
be cleaned from any PARTICLES of flesh still
remaining, and to be saturated with
liquid grease, fish oil or tallow. They
are then piled up hair to hair and flesh
to flesh, and allowed to remain for two
days until the fat is entirely absorbed.
The skins are then dried, brushed
against the grain and smoothed down.

How TO FATTEN PooR HORSE. Many
good horses devour large quantities OF
grain and hay, and still continue thin
and poor. The food eaten is not pro-
perly assimilated. If the usual feed has
been unground grain and hay, nothing
but change will effect any desirable
alteration in the appearance of the ami
NAL. In case oil meal cannot be OBJ
tanned readily, mingle bushel of flax
seed with bushel of barley, one of oats,
and another bushel of Indian corn, and
let it be ground into fine meal. This
will be fnir proportion for all his feed.
Or. the meal OF barley, oats and corn, in
equal quantities, may first be procured,
and one-fourth part of oil cake mingled
with it, when the meal is sprinliled on
cut feed. Feed two or three quarts of
the mixture three times daily, mingled
with peck of cut hay and straw. If
the horse will eat that amount greedilv,
let the quantity he gradually increased
until he will cat four or six quarts Mt
every feeding three times day. So
long as the animal will eat this allow
ance, the quantity may be increased n
little every day. But avoid the practice
of allowing horse to stand at rack
we'll filled with hay. In order to fatten
a horse that has run down in flesh, the
groom should be very particular to feed
the animal no moro than he will eat ND
clean and lick his manger for more.

The latest thing in bonds is detailed

The latest thing in bonds is detailed
an sthe, New York papers, A party. of
men, three generally being the number,
caused whisper to float through certain
speculative circles that they had on hand
and for sale large quantity of stolen
bonds which could be purchased cheap
for cash. Very soon some one, in his
haste to be rich, nibbled eagerly at the
tempting bait, and the parties would be
brought together and the negotiation
concluded. The sellers always had a
package of bonds nicely done up, and
the top one temptingly displayed, and
at the moment they handed this over
and received the money, an alarm would
be given that the police were at hand,
and the parties separated with precipi-
tate haste. The purchaser, however, al.
ways fled with light heart, for he had
done very neat thing in getting bonds
twenty to fifty per cent. below their
value, and always hastened to some safe
covert to examine his treasure more at
leisure. But when he did so, his face
always underwent sudden and terrible
elongation-there was never any bond
but the top one, for all beneath it was
nothing more than very ordinary white
paper, neatly folded, but utterly blank.
Then he would realize that he had been
grleVously swindled, but he had been
trying to buy stolen, property, and so
could not afford TO seek redress.

The first pitched battle of the Cuban

patriots whose highest aim should be
their country's welfare and the safety
and protection of its people. But the
battle Of Los Minas on the 81 of May,
has shown the strength and courage OF
the Cubans and given character to the
revolution. They are fast gaming the

of the people of this Republic to aid

battle Of Los Minas was fought on the
81 of May between the Cuban forces,
numbering about 1000 strong, under the
command of Gen. Qlesada, and about
500 Spaniards commanded by Gen.
Lesca. The Cubsns occupied hastily

made to carry the works by assault the
