Something of the Nathan Murder.
A Convict wants to tell What he Knows
About the Tragedy.

Chicago. August T.; The Times publishes a
statement from Billy Forester, serving ten years
in the State Pehitentiary at Joliet in substance.
that he (Forrester) is fully cognizant Of the Ma
than murder; that though he can't point out the
man who struck the blow, he can name the three
professional burglars who attempted, with the CO.
operation and cognzance of certain high officials
in New York, to open the safe in the Nathan man
sion; who, while making this attempt, reused Ma
than, and between them in order to escape, killed
him with the iron dog which they were using as a
professional tool. He refuses to reveal the names
of these parties, because it will interfere with his
plan of bringing them to justice, and Of reveng.
ing himself on them for their persecution Of him
self. Should he secure pardon, as he hopes to
do, he will make this the object of his life. He
afirms that the relations of Nathan had no knowl-
edge whatever of the way in which he came to his
death, and he denies the story recently published
in New York and elsewhere concerning the muir
der. Forester is an old burglar and knows the
surroundings Of the Nathan house perfectly. He
submitted diagrams in connection with the confess
sion and otherwise displayed a familiarity with
the scene of the assassination. His confession is
long and circumstantia. 1t duplicates deeply
some OF the New York officials, but not by name.

of President Johnson.
The Floods.
The river continues to rise slowly. Captain
Crane Ct the Belle of Memphis, reports that q
crevasse formed at Willis Plantation at Donald
son Point just above the island, at ten o'clock on
Friday night, which swept over that plantation,
containing about 5000 acres, and thence to ST.
Francis valley. This doubtless caused the river
to come to stand here yesterday, and not the
creyasse at Bradley's as first supposed. A large
volume of water is now running through St.
Francis river, which will afford relief to the plan
tations on the Mississippi side to Helena, but will
greatly increase the danger on the Arkansas side,
and the planters on the shore between here and
Helena are working on the levees in the rear to
protect their lands in that direction. The water
now stands four inches below the flood of last
spring, and two feet four inches below the great
flood of 1867.
A decline Of an inch is reported at Cairo to-day.
Old steamboat men predict that the food will not
exceed that Of this spring.

SUMMARY.
MaIloueil Zocl; Nftns.

Members Of our city government made their an
nual visit to the city farm GA Friday last, and
found that the management Of that important III
stitution has been such as 10 meet the most san
guine expectations and cordial appreciation of all
concerned. From fifty to sixty tons of hay have
been secured IN good order, and the crops gcner-
ally unusually promising. 1t is safe to say
/ that under its present management, the farm
proves to be one Of the most successful Of our
city investments. We learn that there are but
thirteen persons now at The farm receiving support
from the city, and most of those aged and IN
firm, while the remainder are able to earn their
own living by labor the farm and about the
house. All are comfortably provided for, and
receive that and attention suited to their
era conditions and circumstanc Mr.. Allen and
ms estmablc wife have had the care of the farm
and household for several years, and have given
the utmost satisfaction, not only to the Overseers
and city government generally, but also to those
whose lnhinties and misiortnnes have compelled
them to seek necessary aid and home at the
pensc OF the public. After viewing the farm,
buildings, &c and partakng of the inequalities
usual on such occasions, the visitors returned to
the city, with the well founded conviction that
llalowell stands in the advance rank in the State
for the successful management Of our public in
stitutons, whereof our city farm is chief. We
regret that absence from town prevented US from
ping the polite invitation to participate in this
annual pilgrimage to locality in which all should
feel a personal interest.
Thc excursion OF the barge Yosemite to squirrel
Island, Friday, was one of the most enjoyable
Of the season. The day was beautiful, the COM
paay jast ies9e enough for comfort and sociabity,
and the time occupied not extended as to pro-
duce fatigue annoyance. The "Squrrels' were
III their happest mood, and extended to the
cursioni.ts those courteses for which they are so
justly distinguished. The barge returned to Gar
diner In season for passengers TO take the o'clock
train ior this city and Augusta. thus avoiding the
annoyance Of darkness and delay on tne home
stretch.

Father Noah was one hundred and twenty years
preparing for.
