ARREsr.-About two months ago clothing
store at Erie was entered and about 500 worth
of goods carried off. Some little time after
man by the name of G. F. Eiehenlaub was
hired to carry a man named Crosby and his
trunk from Erie to Franklin, which he did.
The trunk contained clothing which was
sold at Franklin. A week sgO Sunday
Crosby, his brother, and one or two other
men went to a livery stable at Erie and hired
a span OF horses to go 10 Meadville, saying
they would be gone four days. at the end
of the time they were not returned, nor were
any tidings received Of the men. About the
same time, some of the clothing which Gros-
by had disposed Of was identified as being
the same which had been stolen from the
store at Erie, and Eichenlaub started in pur-
suit eff Crosby, and yesterday morning saw
him at Capt. Towns, on Canal street. He
aceosted him, giving him to understand that
he himself was under bail for a criminal of
tense, and had forfeited his bonds. Crosby
advised him to go to Toledo, and recon-
mended him to q certain house where he
would be safe from arrest.


Echenlaub promised to meet Crosby again
last evening on the canal bridge for further
instructions, and left him, at the same time
setting man to watch his movements while
he went for warrant. Crosby evidently
became suspicious and started to leave,
when the spy approached and arrested him,
but the former drew a revolver from his
pocket and snapped it at his eaptorj but
either it was not loaded, or the cap was bad,
for it missed fire. Crosby, however, who is
an extremely active man, kept the crowd at
bay, fighting furiously until Sanford and
McIlrath appeared, by whom he was taken
in charge. He threw his pistol, knife and
other articles into the canal before he was
taken. On his person were fonnd three
s'stufed" watches and a counterfeit bill.


The arrest drew together large crowd,
and the prisoners struggles caused much
excitement. He informed the tall officer if
he would keep away he would ''use up" the
'sbig man." and to the latter he addressed
similar remark concerning the "tall man, +"
while the people were requested to retire and
allow him the privilege Of aOgging them
both together. u.


A warrant arrived from Erie last evening
for his arrest on charge of horse stealing
and he was sent back in charge of officer
Furguson of that city. He is evidently a
desperate and dangerous man.

THE LELAND CoNCERT.-The Melodeon
was not as full last night as it should have
been, upon the occasion of the grand con-
cert, given for the purpose of raising funds
for providing Leland's Band with new
silver instruments wherewith to delight our
citizens. The hall was, however, quite we'll
filed, and it is satisfaction to know that
those who stayed away can hear the glow
ing report which sllWho were present win
be sure to give. We have not space to speak
of each item Ofthe well selected programme,
BUTT was all good.


The concert was made the occasion of the
debut Of Miss Hattie Dickinson, one of the
rising mnsical stars of our city. Miss Dick
inson has an excellent voice, which wants
only cultivation and public practice to make
it one of the very best in the city for con-
cert hall. She sustained her portion of the
programme admirably and was heartily
encOred.


Miss Mary ]. Hale, who made her first
public appearance a year ago, sang the song
''phou art so near and yet so far with such
spirit and effect that the audience would not
be satisfied without repetition. Miss Hale
has clear, pleasant voice, and will always
be received with favor.


Mr.. Pease never plays otherwise than
brilliantly, so last evening was no exception.
Of the other pieces by the Cole brothers,
Prof. Mann, Messrs. Leland and Sargent,
and the whole Society and Band, we can only
say that they were as near perfection as or
binary mortals are expected to arrive.

PARsoN BROwNLow TALKS OUT.-Drownlow, of
the Knoxville Uhig, says: There is scarcely a
man of talent and character living, even at the
North, under whose administration Of the General
Government | would not prefer TO live, rather
than live in Southern Confederacy, controlled
and governed by the traitors and villains who
have originated and have carried out this wicked,
daring and damnabe scheme of secession. The
Senators of seven States have been sitting in
seats as Senators, sworn to support the Constitu-
tion of the United States, and to act as the Privy
Council of the President, and, at the same time


they were holding secret meetings, plotting the
overthrow of the Government and Constitution
they had sworn to sustain and support. consider
Benedict Arnold and Aaron Burr patriots and
honest men compared with these traitors and
procured villains. | certainly have no desire to
live under any Government organized by such
corrupt, wicked, and hell deserving men as these!
The whole scheme for dissolving the Union was
originated and carried out by such men as these.
Corrupt, designing, and disappointed Southern
politicians, who, failing to control the Govern
nent, resolved upon its ruin. There are better
men in hell, suffering the vengeance Of eternal
fire, than the Southern leaders in this secession
movement. This / say as Southern man, one
born and raised here, and intending to live and
die here. And all this will continue to say, as
long as have breath to speak, or strength to
write.

His love of beauty, grace, and joy. OF all the

Vegetation might proceed, the earth might be

over the earth in blossoms of endless varieties,

of the Deity. They are made solely TO gladden.

They scatter them in the portico of their deities

KING CoPPER.-Calaveras is about 10 Sc.
cede from the rule of King Gold and place
her neck under the yoke of King Copper. At
this moment all other excitements pale before
the copper mania literally, every man you
meet has his pockets full of rocks" and acids
TO digest them. All our huctuating population
tends towards the western side of Bear Noun
tain. Copperopolis is becoming the centre of
business and rapidly advancing in population
and wealth. A month ago it contained frame
house or two. blacksmith shop and large
canvas-tent store all else was in the woods.
Now we hear of lots being sold in the town
limits at prices ranging from $50 to $780,
They will soon have under way a frst.class
hotel, billiard saloons stores, and all the con-
comitants Of thriving mining camp Six
miles below, in the neighborhood of Hog Hill
and Skaters store, things are advancing with
the same astonishing rapidity. In every direc-
tion the prospectors are striking new veins of
mineral, and all seem TO be confident that their
new discoveries are rich and valuable. We
have seen specimens of ore from many of these
claims, and they really look as favorable for
permanent and profitable mines as the speci-
mems which come from Copper Canon. De
velopments on several of these new veins have
been made as far TO the northward as the
Mokelumne River, and the excitement RACES
now with almost as much violence in the Vi
cinity of Campo Seco, Poverty Bar, Jenny
Lind and Spring Valley as it does in the dis
tricts where the first discoveries were made
The entire country west of Bear Mountains to

me stationary, and enabled me by a
few strokes, to reach the horses side.


To. cross the river, or to land, was
alike impossible; so took the reins in
my right hand, wheeled the horse from
the bank, and dashed at once with
him into the strength Of tho current.
Away we went, Satan and I, in capital
spirits both; not doubt of our effect:
ing q safe landing ever crossing my
mind. And the horse evinced his Ger
tainty upon that subject, by snatchine
a bite out Of a piece of hay that float
ed at his side, and eating it as compos
edly as if ::hc had been in his stable.


We soon swept round the big bank
that had caused our misfortune, ani
came to level part Of the country
which was flooded far up into tho
fields.


I then struck strongly ont in q slant
ing direction for the shore, and soor
had the satisfaction of finding myself
upon the green turf: Satan shook him

neigh. I then strokcd him, and spoke
kindly to him. He returned the ca
ress by licking my hand. Poor fcl

for me in the watcr-a friendship

which was rendered moro valuable by
his never extending it to another liv'
