A Singular Occurrence.


The Washington, tPa) papers pub.
lish the following occurrence of sin.
gular case Of horse stealing that recent
ly took place in that country:
Some two weeks ago, a trio of Car.
rol township boys being in our place
attending court, Messrs Nelson, Henry
and Wylie, started home about mid.
night, going up the pike on horseback
At the Valley Inn School House, they
halted to have moments talk before
separating. While there man rode
hastily down the pike. The boys
thinking thai he, like themselves, was
out sparkling, determined to find out
who he was, and where he had been.
SO they called out in sport, "Stop,
Thief! Halt - The rider instead Of
stopping spurred on his horse, and ar.
irving at Hamilton s Store took up the
Brownsville road. That being Mr..
Nelson's road home, he followed, still
crying out halt, stopl The stranger
finding himself in danger of being over.
taken, wheeled his horse into a fence
corner, and took.to the woods Some
what dismayed at the serious train his
joke was taking, Nelson called out to
the unknown to come back, that it
was only fun, and that he did not
want his horse. No attention was
paid to this, however, but the mystic.
rious stranger fed into and through
the woods, and out of sight Nelson
took the horse back TO the pike, and
meeting Mr. Newell, it was put in his
stable, at Valley Inn.
Now comes the queer part of the
story. The next morning, Mr.. James
Williams came down the pike with
the word that q horse had been stolen
from Mr.. Isaac Stacher the night be
fore, and that he was on his way to
our town to telegraph the news to diff
ferent points. He was told about the
strange horse in Newells stable, and
on going there found the lost animal.
SO the intended joke turned out to be
the capture of an actual horse thief
and no wonder the rascal was scared
whom the young men called out Stop
Thief! He had been qnite cool about
1t too, for having first caught the horse
in field at Stacher's, he took him
into the stable where he fed him be
fore he saddled, bridled and rode him
off. This is the coolest piece OF
roguery we have recently met, and

English and Irish Emigration.

Recent statistics exhibit remark
able fact with reference TO the cmigra.
tioa from England and Ireland. For
many years statistics have shown the
unexpected result of an Increasing
emigration from England, side by side
with decreasing emigration from
Ireland Last year, for the first time
in the annals of British emigration,
the actual number OF persons who left
English shores exceeded the Irish
omigrants, the exact number being
England, 6S,935; Ireland, 67,S97.
The fact is that low wages, CONNER.
cial depression, the monopoly of land
in tho hands of few, and the general
dissatisfaction of the people with their
political institutions, arc daily driving
a larger proportion Of Engishmen
away from their native land. Eng.
lish statesmen and publicists are al
ready foresecing with alarm an exodus
on even more awful scale than that
by which, from thousand open
wounds, the life blood of Ireland so
freely poured. Well, indeed, may tho
patriotic Englishman look with alarm
on the present condition of his coun-
try. Its army, n mere handfu. as com.
pared with the gigantic hosts of Con.
lincntal Europe, cannot march thirty
miles without bunglo. Her naval
officers, heirs to the fame but not to
the genius of Nelson, run splendid
vessels on rocks rs well known TO the
sailor as the column in Sackville street
is to citizen in Dublin. France,
Germany, and Belgium are producing
better and cheaper wares than can be
turned out from Manchester spinning
mills or Birmingham smithies. And,
TO add 10 all this, insufficient work and
low pay are leaving her artisans little
alternative between semi starvation
and exile. For any suflerings of the
English working people we in ireland
have the hcarliest and most unfcigncd
sympathy. 1t was not a voice from
the people, it was u spokesman OF q
cold hearted aristocracy aud selfish
bourgeoisie, which in the hour of our
mortal agony, exclaimed with brutal
cxultaton "The Cclt is gone-gono
with a vengeance

Extinguishing Fires.

The New York Tribune gives the follow
ing suggestive hints in regard to extinguish-
ing fires before they gain headway:
"a word more, before Chicago is forgot
ten, about modes of extinguishing fres.-
Every one knows that fire is easiest put
out in the beginning. Yet the tendency in
America, of late years, has been to concen-
trate attention upon means Of extinguishing
great fires when under headway. The
steam-fire engine is grand invention; but
we want also cheap $40 engine in every
house or every neighborhood, to attack fire
at the beginning, while it is controllable. A
garden pump, delivering water through a
hose, will, with three gallons Of water, put
out very large and formidable fire.
With the great fire engines there is also a
desire to throw the water high. Everybody
has seen many hogsheads of water thrown
completely over burning building, so that
it fell upon the ground on the opposite side.
and many more pouring upon the roof Of
the building merely to run off as the rain
does when one barrel full, delivered into a
lower story through the window would
have extinguished the fire. The great Sc
crets of good and successful fireman are !:
play low, on the lowest part Of a fire |;
throw the water in spray, if possible ;
and don't neglect to throw a pailful this in
slant. on the mere hope of being able to
throw barrel full five minutes hence.
That five minutes start may put the fire
beyond the control even of steam fre-en-

FROM NEW YORK.

New York, Nov. 1l.-The Russian fleet
with the Grand Duke Alexis, is off the
Highlands.
The bank statement shows that loans
have increased nearly two and three-quar-
ter millions; specie increased one million !;
deposits increased over six and three-quar-
ter millions, and legal tenders increased
two millions.
Charles O'Conor says Tweed is making
preparations to fly from justice and take
refuge in foreign land.
The committee appointed to investigate
the alleged election frauds in Brooklyn,
have made startling discoveries of frauds.
The testimony will not be made public
until action is taken against the guilty par
ties. A policeman is said to have thrown
away whole handful of tickets to defeat
the Republican candidates.
All inspectors of election in one district
of the Fourteenth ward of Brooklyn con-
fesses to frauds, and now asserts that Nor
ton, Republican, was elected to the Assem-
bly,, instead of Wainwright, Democrat.
The Republicans adopted resolution to
appoint committee to collect evidence and
secure the punishment of ballot-box stuff
ers and repeaters, pledging the moral, pc
cuniary, and, if necessary, the physical aid
of the citizens to the committee in bringing
offenders to justice. A. A. Low, S. B.
Chittenden, II. b. Clahin, S. b. butcher,
Gen. Jourdan and other eminent citizens
comprise the committee.

ROSE AND HARRY WATKINS.-Our
citizens have reason to congratulate them
selves upon the certainty of having such
amusements offered them during the win
ter as their tastes demand. Rose and Har-
~ Watkins will open. tonight at Virginia
Hall. fJ 1ii57 .giz
To give eclat to the performances of these
favorites, great improvements have been
made, and no expense spared by the pro-
prietor to make it pleasant and most cozy
place of amusement. New scenery has
been added, and every attention given to
make it respectable and comfortable for the
audience. sEa
The romantic drama of Kathleen Ma
yourneen, or under the SPELL" is the play
announced for tonight, it is one which
shows the pee Iliar talents of these charm
ing artists, and is replete with beautiful
music, songs and ballads. Prof. Kennie with
his wonderful tumbleronicon performance
will be an additional novelty of the evening.
The prices of admission are liberal, and
full and fashionable house may be antici-
pated. err-a sw., ,s-. a ,ry-,
1t is unnecessary for us to say anything
Of the merits of these artists. They have
been here before, and have made such rep
utation for themselves and have become
such favorites with the puplic, as to need no
endorsement from us. The manager of this
company proposes, if he is encouraged
properly, to continue during the winter
these entertainments, and to provide us
with first-class artists during the season.
We have already seen the complete failure
Of the attempt to force upon the Richmond
people, third-rate amusements; they won't
have them, and will be satisfied with no.
thing less than what pleases larger commu-
mites. The liberality already manifested
by the Watkins management will make its
efforts success.

Saturday, and after assuring us he had
dreamed the night before that Nos. s, A and
. would draw prize of $50 from the
Southern Association, and thatif we would
give him quarter of a dollar, he would di-
vide profits. We furnished the quarter,
he bought a chance with the numbers
dreamed of on it, and drew and collected
the prize of $50. Our half has been in
vested in new clothes, and not even the
25 cents returned. The young gentle
man may be seen well clad, and with his
youthful moustache handsomely dyed, de-
lights in having "beat" us out of quarter,
and the Orphan Association out of s5O.-

LOCAL MATTERS.

The BEN SCOTT CAsE-Card Of Geo.
d. Wise, Esq.-Geo. ID. Wise, Common
wcalth's Attorney, of this city, author of
the article which appeared in the Dispatch
of this morning, headed I" An Infamous
plot against colored Conservative, &c. :"
in which it is charged we did !" not give it
might have been expected" having been
called on by us in relation to the matter
furnishes us the following for publication.
We did not pretend to give the evidence in
detail, nor did we intend to do even Ben
Scott any injustice by simply publishing the
substance of the evidence; nor did we con-
template discussing the guilt or innocence
of Scott. 1t is not a question for our decis-
ion, and if there be any infamy" in the
proceedings, Mr.. Wise's card exhonerates
as from any participation in it.
CARD. HltT'
John w. Wous, city Editor ofhe State Journal
The statement in the JOURNAL of Saturday is
correct in its epresentation-that Detective Pat
Woods did say, that Ben Scott remarked upon
being arrested, ~ know thatd am arrested for
passing counterfeit upon young Irving" But
l complain, not that the JOURNALS version is in
correct as far 1t goes, but that the after test-
mony is not given, which, in my opinion, plainly
shows that Detective Woods has made a mistake
Mr. Irving, the sexton of the church, fol-
lowed Mr.. Woods, and said that Woods
first brought Scott TO him at st. Paul's church,
when Scott asked him (Iryingl to explain
''what money transactions there had bsen be-
tween them" Irving testified that Scott was
under the impression that he (Scott) had been
arrested on a charge made by him Qrving),
which plainly shows that Woods was under a
mistake. Scott had not been arrested on a
charge made by him, but by another of the
same name. Scott could not have been under
that wrong impression, if he had told Detective
Woods all about it; and Detective Woods would
not have taken him to the wrong man, if Scott
had given him the right explanation
Detective Woods mistake is easily accounted
for he could not at the time of the arrest recol-
lect the name of the party, at whose instance
Scott was arrested, and he indicatedit by the de-
scrption of 'sthe man at the church, corner Ninth
and Grace streets - when SCOTT said, "Oh!
now know, you mean Irving il have given
him any counterfeit money, l am sorry for it.''
do not believe, Mr. Woltz, that yon would
willingly misrepresent this case, and 1 am satis-
fed that your published statement of the evi-
dence was not based on personal knowledge of
it, as you were not present during the taking of
Woods testimony. Yours, respectfully,
GEO. ID. WISE.
