GOT THINGS MIXED.

There is n reporter at the Time, Office
who writes with equal rapidity with
either hand. He is an ambidexter, and
a bold, bad one at that. When there
is a rush of work at the Office aud the
devil is shouting "copee" like iiend in
carnale, this useful reporter sits down at
his desk in full company front, and, with
a pencil in each hand, sings off local
happenings by the yard. lie writes on
two sheets at once, and don't let his
right hand know what bis left hand is
driving at, but it's driving all the same.
Yesterday he got little off bis men

His hands ran clear away with the gray
matter in his skull, and things became
terribly confused. This is the way his
items telescoped each other:
At Gray church, last night, the nup-
tials of Mr. Thomas Johnson and Miss
Julia Lawrence were celebrated in most
magnificent style. A costly floral horse
shoe being directly over the alter, and
when the yellow cur saw The flames OF
anger darting from The eyes Of tie brin-

strains Of the wedding march. As the
handsome couple walked dowh thu ,isle
the excited crowd began TO get frantic,
and there were yells OF "Sick EN- Bull"
"At him DOW, Towser," as the spectators
became interested in the fight. The
bride was elegantly attired in pure white

A SUCCESSFUL sWENDLER.

Last Friday morning well dressed,
genllemauly looking man called at the
Staunton Female Seminary e asked for
the principal. Mr., Miller soon appear
ed, and the stranger introduced himself
as J. NJ. Meyers, OF New Oxford, Pa.
At the same time lie presented letter
from friend and brother minister of
Mr.. Miller, living in Pennsylvania. The
letter commended the bearer in the
highest terms, and was writlenin hand
very similar to that of the gentleman
whose named was signed. After this
introduction, Mr. Meyers stated 10
Mr.. Miller that he wished TO place two
young ladies, his ward and neice, at the
Seminary. The terms were agreed up
on aud down payment of Sl25 con-
tracted for. The stranger handed Mr.
Miller a draft on New York for $50,
and asked him to give him the balance
in currency. Not having the money
about him, Mr.. Miller gave his check
for S25, and the patron departed, prom
iSing to return and spend the next night
al the seminary. The next morning
the principal received postal from Mr..
Meyers, stating that he had been unex-
pectedly called from the city andregret-
ed his inability to fulfill the appoint
ment 10 meantime Mr. Meyers had
called at Loeb & Barth's, made some
purchases and passed the S25 check.
The same day the gentleman, under
the name of }. w. Goldsboro called at
the Virginia Female Institute, and en-
dcavored TO 90 through the same pro.
gramme. Fortunately, the Secretary
of the Institute, Mr.. VIM. Frazier, was
absent, and the Principal, Mrs. Stuart,
not having the change about her, and
the check book not being handy, the
trick tailed.
In the evening, Mr.. Goldsboro, alias
Meyers paid a visit to Father McNerry,
pastor Of the Catholic Church, and pre-
sented letter signed by Cardinal Nc
Crosby. After introducing the bearer
as gentleman trustworthy in every
particular, the letter stated that lie was
the executor Of gentleman recently
deceased, who had made several be-
quests TO Catholic churches, and among
the benefciaries was Stanton church TO
the amount Of Sl00, andthe Charlottes-
Vile church TO the extent OF 5000. The
stranger then produced a check Tor
$500, aud asked Father McVerry to see
that the Charlottesville church received
It's apportionment. Before leaving he
mentioned that n small amount of cash
was required to make the necessary re-
cordations &c. Father McVerry then
gave him a postoffice order for $3.50
and the benefactor departed, leaving
the town Saturday morning lie regis
tered at the American Hotel az Meyers,
and at the Virginia as Goldsboro.
AS matter Of course the check and
drafts turned out bogus and the letters
forgeries, but the bird had flown carry
iug with him S30,50.
All possible steps have been taken for
the apprehension aud arrest of the swim
dler, but as yet nothing has been heard
of him. He is known, however, TO Mr..
II. l.. Opie, who is now on a visit to
Stanton, and who says that he always
regarded him az an upright man. Mr..
Opie states that his real name is Colds
bcro, and that he married Miss Wick
life Of Kentucky SiaunfOn Vrginian.

height, light complexion. gray eyes, slight

side whiskers. The above described man
left Shelbure, Nova Scotia, in August, 1865,
went to San Francisco, California, and
soon after engaged in the mining business
about 100 miles from Carson City, Nevada.
The last heard from him was through a let

which stated that he had been mining for a
year past in a remote section and was soon
to return to the same place. Any person
giving information that will lead to a dis

picnic Grounds.

Charley Broy's ranch, about twelve
miles from Eureka, is a delightful resort for
a brief respite from the fumes and dust Of
town. 1t furnishes ample shade for the
largest Of picnic parties, and streams Of
pure, sparkling water course their way
through the east and south canyons. Snow
is still to be seen in depressions of the
mountains, and without serious exertion
when once on the ranch, the sport of snow
balling can be INDUCED in on these hot
July days. The drive through the canyon
approaching the grounds, with the perfume
OF wild flowers waited on the breeze and
the music of falling waters, is a very pleas
urable experience. Yesterday a select
picnic, under the auspices of a committee
OF Mr.. Crawford's Church, occurred at
the above place. Owing to the selectness
OF the affair the attendance was no very
large.
