Bad Company.-On Thursday last, while
at the depot, man was pointed out to us
as sneak thief, In his company was a
man from Loysville, Perry county, Samuel
F. Shafer, who is novice in city arts and
villainies. He had sold horse and obtain
ed q considerable sum Of money of which
these sharks were eager to obtain posses
sion.
For this purpose they haunted his foot
steps and made warm professions of friend
ship, introduced him to q low house of i'll
fame, endeavored to render him oblivious
with liquor, and were as ardent and sympa-
thetic as the love existing between Damon
and Pythias. The result may be briefly
stated. Yesterday morning Shafer appear
ed before the Mayor, and told follorn
story. lie had been robbed of a watch
valued at $15 and pocket-book of $25.
The culprit was alleged to be one w. t.
Snodgrass, whose character is not above re-
proach, and who has made his home at
what is known as the soap factory" a
low haunt on Cherry alley, near the rail
road. The defendant was arraigned before
the Mayor and the evidence of his guilt
being conclusive, he was held for trial at
the next term of court.-Ibid. asir

A Singular Elopement.

An energetic young man recently mar
ried and settled in Allegheney.-His wife
was handsome, and on visit to the
young couple, the old gentleman was so
enchanted by her that he planned an
elopement, to which she assented. The
father returned few days ago, and on
going home to supper May and December
told the tale Of their. loves and declared
their intention Of going off together. The
son of course was thunder-struck and
went out to seek means for the prevention
of the design. When he returned the
old gentleman and young lady had gone.
1t was afterwards discovered that the
father had disposed of his property in
Philadelphia, and took ten thousand dol
lars in cash with him, leaving his family
we'll provided for.

A Musical Hen.--Each day chronicles
something new and startling! The latest
wonder we claim, is the "musical hem
to be seen at the Baldwin steel works.
This strange "bird" exhibits wonderful
taste for music, and in its qualification ter
rifles strong men. But to particularize -
Mr.. Rhaun, an employee of the above
menti oned establishment, found, on taking
possession Of the premises he now occu-
pies, what seemed to be pet "chicken,"
and the fowl was allowed free access wher-
ever it wished to go. A few nights since,
Mr.. II. had occasion to get up at late
hour, and, when descending the stairs, was
startled by hearing sounds Of delightful
music. A strange fear took, possession of
him. and his hair seemed inclined to be por-
cupinish but mastering all his courage, he
passed to the loom below and instituted an
investigation, when 10 behind the door was
the "old hen," seated by the side Of Mr..
r. banjo, playing or picking away q Ia
negro minstrels Since then the ''old bird"
regularly visits the banjo and goes through
with her "musical drill" Mr.. r. invites
all who question the fowls ability as q
banjo-player to call and judge for them

Death From an Overdose Of whIskey.-


Death From an Overdose of Whlskey.-
AS we go to press, we learn of sudden oc-
eurTence which transpiredin Williamsburg,
this county, few days since, and which re-
suited in the death Of boy named Myers.
On Sunday evening last, or some time dur
ing the night, party Of boys, five in num-
Der, of that place, and each aged about 10
years, obtained access in some mysterious
manner to quantity Of whisltey and drank
Of the Intoxicating beverage to such an ex-
ent that one Of the boys named Myers,
died on the following morning from the eff
fects of the undue quantity taken into his
system. The other four boys were taken
violently i'll, but will recover. 1t is not
known how the boys procured the whiskey,
but it is generally supposed that they
found it in some barrels that had been left
standing out by the owner, thinking they
were empty.
The affair has created considerable excite
ment in that quiet town, and we learn that
it will be properly investigated. AHoona

Mutilated Currency.-A postmaster in
Tennessee was so oyeTun by mutilated cur
rency, in consequence of a North Carolina
postmaster having been fined $02 for not
receiving it, that he has written to the Uni
ted States Treasurer, and has received a
reply that must set at rest a somewhat vex-
ed question. The Treasurer says:
Under the rules of the Treasury De
partment, postmasters are authorized to re-
ceiye such currency for its full value in
payment Of postage stamps, when, in case
Of United States notes, not more than one
twentieth Of the note is missing, and in
cases of fractional currency, when not more
than one-tenth is missing. When such
notes and fractional currency are mutilated
beyond the standard referred to, no one is
compelled to receive them for any part of
their value, and the only place where such
notes may be redeemed is at U, S. Treasury.
1t will thus be seen that postmasters are
not required to take currency when n pOr-
tion equal to one-tenth is torn off.

Fire.-On Saturday morning the 25th
ult., the extensive shedding and stab
ling attached to Mr.. Jacob Leiby's distil-
lely, about mile west of Middletown were
totally destroyed by fire. The loss is esti-
mated at between $4,000 and $4,000, on
which there is an insurance of $500. The
fire was doubtless the work of an nincendiary
as the distillery was not in operation at the
time, and there was no fire on the premises.
This is the second fire we have had within
eight days.

A New Swindle.-For the week past, q
