PROBABLE ARREST OF VIM. HALL
On Saturday evening we published the sub
stance of telegram received by the Mayor
of Norfolk, telling of the arrest of colored
man, with large sum of money on his
person, in Princess Anne, Maryland; and
we at once concluded that the prisoner was
none other than William Hall, who recently
swindled James Turner, colored man OF
this city, out of $4,000. j. B. Burrell, at
whose house Hall stopped when he was in
this city, and who introduced Hall to Tur-
ner, (and in consequence of which act has
been under suspicion of completely in the
fraud, on Saturday received telegram,
substantially the same as that sent to Nor
folk, but stating that, in addition to the
money, the arrested man had letter on
his person signed 81. B. Burrell.n
Mr.. Burrell says he had occasion to
write a letter to Hall on the occasion of his
visit to Richmond, inviting him to attend a
social party, and is thus led to believe in
the identity of Hall and the man who has
been arrested in Maryland. Mr.. Burrell
communicated the contents of the dispatch
to Geo. d. Wise, Esq, and on the infor-
nation which it conveys, Detective
O'Dwyer, accompanied by James Turner,
left on Saturday night for Princess Anne,
Nd, and if Hall has been arrested he will be
brought back to this city for trial.

AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS.
II'ME EuREKA CORN PLANTER.
THIS NEW corn PLANTE

THIS NEW CORN PLANTER,
Just perfected by II. M Smith & CO., accom-
plishes what has always been a desideratum in
Corn Planters, namely: absolute certainty as to
the quantity of seed planted, and to the dis
tance between the hills.
All planters, depending upon brush to keep
back the corn, are liable to variation, as any
press of the seed causes the brush to yield, and
increases the quantity dropped.
THE EUREKA HAS NO BRUSH.
A new and simple device supersedes the neces-
sity of it, and insures ABSOLUTE REGU-
LARITY in the Lumber of grains deposited
II IS THE BEST CORN PLANTER IN USE

opinion of all who have used it: F.
