900 bushels OF peaches maturing ON the

The detectives have arrested Michael
O'Farrell and his wife Annie on sus-
picion Of being connected with the re-
cent robbery Of $4,000 worth Of bonds
from the residence Of Matthias Danser,
on West Eleventh street. Mrs. O'Far.
rell is sister of domestic recently in

lieyed, stole the bonds. 1t is thought
that their arrest will throw some light

turned to BlackwelPs in the evening.
Just before reaching their destination,
eight OF the conyicts divested themselves
OF their clothing and jumped from the
steamer into the river and struck out for
shore. One OF them, named Swartz, was
q poor swimmer, and was quickly cap
tured, but the other seven, notwith-
standing that they were repeatedly fired
upon by the keepers, succeeded in reach
ing the New York shore. They were
met by friends and supplied with cloth
ing. and they then made off in various
directions. Three of them have since
been captured by the police.

The news last evening of on feet water at
Pittsburg, and the departure of nearly all the
coal feet from that vicinity, caused much re-
joicing among many of our coal dealers and
numerous steamboatmcn, pilots and others.
y: While this rise has been expected for some
time, we did not expect to hear that it would
amount to such an extent. The stage of the
water there last evening, and the rapidity .
with which it was swelling, together with the
reports Of the big rise all along the Mononga-
hela, indicates flood which may prove disas-
trous to property along tho rivers in that Sec
tion, although we hope not to be called upon to
record any serious damage, ~,
