HEAaD FRox.-Most Of our readers will
rscollect the arrest OF Q woman some time
ago, in thir city, with about 5000 in
counterfeit money in her possession, and
that che he'd twe men associated with her
in the manufacture and Showing Of the
currency. The following from . Chicago
exchange, seems 70 indicate that they have
come to grief
sr. Louis. Feb. 3.-B. +. Newell and 2. All.
sop were arrested to day hsving about $500 in
counterfeit gresnbaoks in their possession.
We further learn that detective Center
has in his possession considerable evidence
in regard to them, and that he aud Mr.
John Acklcy have gone to st. Louis for the
purpose Of bringing them to this city.
PLEASANT PARrY.-Rsunions and social
gatherings are always agreeable and pleas
ant in remembrance, especially 90 when
there is a unity Of object and purpose in all
the assembly. Seldom have We seen gay

F., who assembled at tho depot last eve.
ming. and took the six o'clock train for Rock
Island. for the purpose Of visiting The Rock
Island Eocampment. Nsr did one Of them
have cause to regret tho visit. The cordial
welcome and entertainment extended BY
Most Worthy Chief Sweeney, and his a.
sistant officers, made all feel at home At
the close Of the work Of the evening,
refreshments were handed around, and .
social half hour was spent rigat pisasant'y.
Acqaaintances were formed, fraternal ties
renewed, aud some Of the leading principles
Of the Order better observed if not better
understood. Ii is the wish Of all that our
Rock Island brothers return the visit at an
early day and that such gatherings be more
frequent. A special train was IN waiting,
and at eleven o'clock the party landed on
this side, and separated for their different
homes.
