A SUindler.

A fellow calling himself Rev. j. Hale
Barney, was arrested last week at Wash
ington, for fraud. He was engaged in
sending circulars to the officials throughout
the country bearing the forged signature
of the Presidents private secretary.
This has been sent to large number of
postmasters and internal revenue officers in
the south. 1t opens with the announce
ment that the annexed conversations are
sent by the President, in confidence" and
adds that the Rev.J. Hale Barney has been
selected to receive contributions, which the
givers are requested secretly to forward to
his address. The objects of the contri-
button are explained in what purports to
be two interviews between the President
and his secretary.
An investigation of the swindle led to
the discovery that the owner of boarding
house No. 426 Sixth street, Washington,
had received a trunk from Baltimore, pre-
ceded with dispatch to the effect that the
owner would arrive in few days and di-
recting that all letters to him arriving in
the meantime should be dropped in the
trunk. A large unmber of letters inclos-
ing money were received. It is said three
persons are engaged in this swindle, ono
being well known, influential Washing
tonian. All will be arrested and brought
to trial.

A Sad Case.

The Milwaukee Sentinel says: Wednes-
day morning the inhabitants of the quiet
village of Hartford were startled with the
report that Mr.. Martin McHugo and his
wife had been drowned in cistern. Mr..
McHugo and his wife resided about one
mile from the village ON a small farm, and
were quite alone, their youngest child,
young miss of sixteen, being in this city at
school. AS the house stands several rods
from the road, the fact that the passing
neighbors did not observe either of them
for day or two was not thought strange.
But friend having occasion to call on
Wednesday morning suspected that all was
not right, and upon examination of the
premises discovered to his horror the dead
bodies of the two unfortunate persons in
the cistern. AS neither the man and his
wife had been seen since Monday forenoon,
the theory of the casualty is that they
must have fallen in on that day, and per-
ished by the slow agony of living burial.
The woman is supposed to have accidently
fallen in, and her screams for help brought
her husband to her rescue, who dropped
her rope which she fastened under her
arms. Then in his attempt to draw her
out the curbing and planks gave way,
precipitating him also into the cistern..
The water was only four feet Deep but
without the ability to rescue themselves
from the terrible situation, or to have their
cry of distress heard by mortal ear, they
perished almost in sight and hearing of
their own neighbors-dying together, but
as thoroughly isolated from all other help
and sympathy as if locked in foundering
ship that goes down into the depths of the
sea.

Thirty Miles of Fire.

The Wilmington North Carolina) Star,
Of April II, says We learn from parties
who arrived here yesterday on the Will
mington Columbia and Augusta Railroad
that fires are raging nearly all along
the line of railway from three miles beyond
Fair Bluff to Pennington. Forests have
been swept, fences and wood destroyed,
and in some instances, it is reported,
houses have been burned. Many of the
poorer classes, who were getting ready for
their crops, have suffered severely and will
be thrown back materially in this respect.
One widow lady is instanced who had just
got new fence around her house and was
getting ready to plant, when the flames
came and consumed her fence, and her
house narrowly escaped the same fate.
Great destruction is reported among the
turpentine farms, and the loss to this branch
of industry will no doubt be very heavy.
The fire is said to extend for twenty miles
back in the country in some places, and is
reported to be rapidly approaching the line
of the Charlotte Road
The cause assigned for this destructive
conAagration is that Mondays passenger
locomotive lost its smoke stack, and ran
all the way'from Grier's station to Flem-
ington in that condition, belching forth
showers of sparks and cinders. 1t being
dry and windy these sparks and cinders
communicated with the woods, and the
work of devastation commenced. We
learn that the sufferers by the fire are very
indignant and many of them, some of
whom are among the most prominent
citizens along the line Of the road, are talk
ing very seriously of bring suit against the
railroad company to recover damages for
heavy loss they have sustained.
The fire is still raging with unabated
fury, and now covers an area along the line
of the road of about twenty-five or thirty
miles, with now and then narrow strip of
woodland which has thus far escaped the
devastating element.

THE ENyIRONS OF RICHMOND.

Richmond, the great Confederate city," no
longer the seat of national government, or the
bone of contention between two immense ar
mics, is quietly enjoying the repose and bles.
sings of peace, is devoting her energies and
aims to industries and commerce, and TINS
has become the most prosperous city in the
South Atlantic States. You do not find here
that dashing enterprise and stirring life that
is characteristic of western cities, but there is
steady progress and air of thrift that is
quite encouraging. Petersburg, Fredericks-
burg and Norfolk look dead, though not so
really; but here, numerous houses going up,
the crowded streets and the hum Of human
voices, and the whistle of steam engines from
hundred manufactures, indicate that there
are business activity, increasing wealth and
fast returning prosperity. The situation is
delightful one, commanding fine views of the
river winding down to the sea, of gree fields,
of beautiful hills-each with history Of its
own-and landscape generally that is espe-
cially inviting and attractive because the
season has been exceedingly propitious, and
nature smiles her blandest in this splendid
climate. One can have pointed out to him
numberless places and things that acquired
celebrity during thelate great struggle, From
the capital windows, line of breastworks on
the Chesterfield side of the river may be seen,
newly overgrown with grass; far off in the
distance southwardly the faintest outlines Of
Fort Darling and Drury's Bluff may be des-
cried at the eastern end of the city on an
elevated hill called Chimborazo, where was
