"A Choice Volume,

We are glad to welcome another book
from the able, graceful and fascinating pen
Of this prince Of writers Of Bible literature.
To all who have perused the poetic, glow
ing pages of X" Night Scenes in the Bible"
the mere announcement of new work
will be hailed with pleasure. Mingling
with the wild scene of Gideon's Night At
tack, and the sad vision granted to Nehe-
mialsof the desolation Of Jerusalem Is o
beausifhf description Of the midnight sun
off the coast Of Norway, within twelve
hundred miles Of the North Pole. The
Night of Betrayal wakens the deepest
emotions of loving hearts, and we shudder
at the Darkness Of MONDAY, and weep at
the grave in the dark shadows of night
feeling with intense vividness the events
his marvellous skill has depicted. The
book is precious to the believer and Its lit
erary excellence, rare word painting, and
poetic imagery make 1t very delightful
work for universal perusal.

Marshal that a man had attempted to
pass counterfeit silver half.dollar upon
him for a piece of tobacco. The Marshal
subsequently found man answering to
his description on Cedar Street, and ar.
rested him. AS they were crossing the
canal bridge, the Marshals prisoner
quickly snatched from his pocket hand
iul of coin and threw it into the water
The Marshal questioned him closely, but
he refused to give his name, residence or
occupation, or any clue whereby informa-
ton concerning himself could be reached.
lie was imprisoned and the Marshal
commenced to investigate
A boy was hired to dive into the canal
but he could not find the money. After
pumping the prisoner closely, the Marshal
ascertsined that last summer he had
worked at Mr.. Evcleths in Auburn. The
Marshal drove out to Mr.. Eyeleth's, ~ho
said be knew the man, who had worked
for him, but did not know his name or
present residence.
Officer Maxwell OF Auburn, looked over
the man and decided that he had seen
him about Keene's block, Auburn. Messrs.
Quimby and Maxwell proceeded TO
Keene's block at FIVE o'clock Thursday
afternoon and found that the man hired
two rooms there, and that his name was
l. G.. Washburn.
The Marshal had taken Washburn's
keys, and his rooms were entered and OK
amined. In his trunk they discovered sll
in counterfeit halves and quarters, q
lump Of clay, some pewter, glass, calcine
plaster, odd pieces Of metal (some Of
which had been melted), moulding box,
a long handled small melting pot, files,
knives, wax, etc. They found about his
premises q charcoal receptacle with a
blast pipe attached TO connect with a
blowing machine, where his fire for melt
ing had been put. His trunk, contents
and the charcoal box were taken to the
police station His roommate and room
mates brother were arrested and held on
suspicion.
Washburn is tall, dark complexioned
man, apparently thirty years Of age. 1t
was ascertained by letters found in his
trunk that he came from Byron, Me. and
was 4 member of the school committee oil
that town. He had also been a Justice
of the Peace. He said to an officer that
he had worked one day for an Auburn
gentleman, who had given him the coun'
terfeit half dollar which he attempted to
pass.
