the baggage q Templar's sash and mas
ter's apron were found, which excited some
surprise among the soldiers. and were

mediate instruction that the baggage should
be carefully protected from injury; that iE-
quiries should be made after the owner of
these articles, and if found, that he should
be requested to repair Immediately 70 his

Kind words and friendly greetings attended
his reception. He was treated with the Ut
most care while . prisoner, and was soon
tended by all the comtorts and conveniences
which it was possible to bestOw upon him
in those times Of trouble. This person was
Sergeant Kelly, Of the British army, who,
after his arrival home, lived to good old
age, and preserved that sash and apron
with the greatest care. On his dXng bed,
surrounded by his kindred, anU among
the number was an old and tried friend.

The Cincinnati Commercial, by tabulation
OF figures from official sources, show that the
debt of New York city, with its one million
of population, is greater than that of twenty

having an aggregate population of six mil
lions. The list includes London, Liverpool
Manchester, Leeds. Bradford, Bristol, Hall
fax, Oldham, Salford, Rochdale, Hudders-

Blackburn, Ashton, Sunderland, and Swan

of over 1900, 900, taking in not only the city
proper, but all the consolidated municipali-
ties of the metropolis, owes not quite half as
much as Philadelphia, with zoo, 900 people;
but little more than half as much as BoetOn,
with less than 100000 inhabitants, and not
so much BY several millions as Brooklyn.

charged with larceny by bailee. Not being

was evidently the idol Of her heart and the
father of her little children. While entering
the court room Drumsmith was seized with
violent spasms, and fell PROSTATE to the floor.
So great were his sufferings that District At
torney Thompson sent Tor physician, think
ing the mans life was in danger. The piie-
ous lamentations OF the poor wife at this
moment were heartrending to behold. no
additional proof was needed to establish that
she was indeed true and good woman, and
that hers was a sad story. No one, without
they possessed a heart of stone, could have
looked upon the scene without experiencing
a choking sensation about the throat; and
indeed, there was disposition on the part OF
bystanders TO cheer the Prosecuting Attorney
and complaining witness when they an
nounced they believed the man was unac-
countabIe for his acts, and that for this reason
the charge against him would be withdrawn.
It seems that Drumsmith is a poor man, sub
jeet TO temporary fits OF mental alteration
and heart disease, and that during one OF
these fits he had pawned the watch to pro-
cure the common DecessaTics OF lie Tor MS
