About two months ago young man, giving his
name as o. NJ. Barnard, opened an account at the
Franklin Savings Bank, and deposited at various
times three certified checks on various banks of
this city, amounting in the aggregate to $4,000
On this deposit, it is alleged, he drew at
different times the sum Of 49, 400, leaving balance
to his credit Of 900. The Franklin Bank deposited
the checks with the West Side Bank, who sent
them to the Clearing House, when they were dis
covered to have been raised from small checks,
amounting In the aggregate to some SIS.
The checks were returned to the West
Side Bank, with the above information, and by
them to the Franklin. A description OF Barnard
being given to Detective Mcconnell, OF the Twen-
tieth precinct, he kept sharp look out for him,
and was rewarded yesterday morning by seeing
him passing through Thirty-ninth street, be-
tween Eighth and Ninth avenues, and took
him in custody On the way to the station house
the prisoner broke from the officer and attempted
to make his escape, but was recaptured. He was
conveyed before Justice Ledwith, at jefferson Mar
kct, yesterday afternoon, and denied the charge,
but was held for examination.

chained the other evening. He lmmed-
lately ate his way through into the ad-
Joining cage, under the impression that
there were some edible monkeys there.
Instead of which he encountered lively
Young tiger, not in the humor TO be eat
en-. or even disturbed. At the end OF five
minutes, when it was possible to see
through the flying fur, the hyena had re-
tired to his cage His nextaaattempt was
at night, in another direction. 1t result
ed in his escaping from the carriage. he
then made an examination&f the sawdust
ring, evidently with the expectation OF
finding some newly made graves, and, dis
appointed in this, made feast off the
haunch of one of the ponies, and worked
with singular assiduitY to remove the
hump from one Of the camels'. Mr.. Bar
mum estimates his loss, at several thous-
and dollars, without counting thevalu-
able services of the Digger Indian who
succeeded in lassoing the hyena at the last
moment, just as he was searching for fat
woman or an Albipo with which to top on
his unnatural feast. Mr.. Barnum now
claims that the Society for the Prevention
of cruelty to animals is acting lin an in
human manner, that shocks the benevo-
lent souls Of a Snowman. He also, we be-
lieve, claims damages. Mr.. Bergh, on the
other hand, Isl understood to claim that
Barnum put up the whole job for an ad
tisveerment. duly estimating that one pony
and one camel would be small price.

Rergh i'm the Lions, Den.

From the New York World Demcembcr 90
Mr.. Bergh, as is well known, recently
paid a humane visit to Barnum's geologic
al collection at the Rink, to see that the
animals were not cruelty treated. The
showmen, being apprised of his coming,
carefully concealed their long poles aud
put themselves upon their good behavior,
carefully abstaining from pOking up the
monkeys and lions, and assuming benign
familiarity with the ferocious wart-hog
and the deadly camels that bespoke the
most friendly relations MIR. Bergh is uu-
derstood to have found everything con-
Quoted on the most humane principles.
The rhinoeeros, they assured him, had
his horn anointed twice week, and warm
water was regularly supplied TO the ring
tailed ape to shave with; they even show
ed him the paper that was used to crimp
the lions name; the most Christian teu-
derness governed the treatment of the an
acondas, which are furnished with the
best quality of Al blankets to swallow;
the sea lions were allowed the largest Wis
ual liberty, being able to see all that was
going on: and the entire collection was
permitted to join the orchestra, which lib
erty they always thankfully improved. 1t
was further explained the covering up of
the lagest sea lion with tablecloth when
the band begins was to prevent him from
thinking it was all day with him. In fact,
the utmost solicitude was shown in the
consideration ofthe animals most delicate
feelings, aud it was explained to the dis
tinguished visitor that the iron rod in the
tigers cage was not used as is generally
Supposed to stir him up with, but was put
there for him to pick his teeth with. But
one thing annoyed Mr.. Bergh. The hye-
ma was chained. He strenuously objected
to this curtailment of the gentle creatures
liberty. Mr.. Barnum, whose kindness
is equal to Mr.. Bergh's, and is almost as
notorious as his professional morality,
coincided with Mr.. Bergh Immediately,
AID desired that he should send up his
men and uuchain the suffering creatures,
s'which,n added the great Snowman,
"would rognrd II - g"aot treat. I "Ss"-"

Refining at the Bottom.

Henry Ward Beecher, in recent Lee
ture Room Talk" on the Religious DUTY
of Thanksgiving, gave the following ac-
count of his early experiences as MIN
lister.
Ido not believe that, to-day, feel as
thankful for the comforts of my house as
I did when first began to preach and
had two rooms, and felt that they were
mine. and went around among the people
of the neighborhood with the thought,
"Was there ever a man so happy as l
amP''
Well, may as well tell you-when L
began to preach I, never expected TO 90
much. But meant to do as we'll as
could. never expected to 60 anywhere.
7 was asked to cross the river from Cincin-
natl and preach in Covington, and went
over and began to preach there. did not
know but was going to stay there. And
1 was perfectly willing to stay. But was
soon called by a woman to oLawrenceburg.
She was the factotum of the whole church.
And I went there and spoke to a we'll nigh
empty building. l was settled over town
with two distilleries and twenty devils IN
it. 1 was very poor. There was no pat
rimony coming to me, as you know.
The moment was out of the seminary l
was without my fathers support, and was
Obliged to take care of myself. l had a
salary: but it was a salary of only S4OO.
But took half of that to 60 to New En-
gland to get married with. And as the
parish paid only half of it, and the other
half was. to come from the Missionary So
ciety, / found myself very short of funds.
had just IS cents in my pocket when
came back. was taken up by a good
Methodist brother for about a week, and
then got these two rooms to which l
have alluded. They were upstairs, One
was the kitchen, cellar, and sitting room
The other was the library, bedroom, and
parlor. So that we had six rooms, calling
each three. The cellar was made by put
ting things under the bed; and the other
rooms were added by sundry devices. You
who 90 into flush houses furnished by
your grandpapas and grandmamas, do
not know anything about the joys OF
housekeeping. Persons ought to begin at
the bottom to know what those joys are.
And began down there
l had no idea that could prea ch. l
never expected that 1 could accomplish
much. merely went to work with the
feeling 'sI will do as well as l can, aud
will stick to it, if the Lord pleases, and
fight his battle the best way know how"
And l was as thankful as l could be. No
body ever sent me spare-rib that did
not thank God for the kindness which was
shown me. recollcct that when Judge 5.
gave me his cast-off clothing, felt that l
was sumptuously clothed. l wore old
coats and second, hand shirts for two or
three years; and 1 Was not above 1t either
although sometimrs, as was ply 81
calH, a somewhat well developed NAH,
and the Judge was thin, and his legs were
slim, they were rather a tight fit.
