Farmer Forney was a rich man
now. He had speculated to, good
advantage for some years in New
York, and made a handsome for
tune. Although his speculations
were still continued, it was upon :,
smaller scale, and with an eve to
entire success.


He seldom lost anything, and
when he did, it was enough to seri
ously Inconvenience him, as he no
longer risked great stakes. The sur
plus Of his winnings had been in
vested in a fine country seat, some
miles from the city, upon the Hud
son. Here his family, son and
daughter, were trained 10 life of
fashion and social advantage. They
were allowed all desired privileges,
and in fact, did what pleased them
hest.


The father had no taste for So
ciety the rough manner of his
youth had been worn off to q decree
but not fully, and the great object
OF getting rich by numerous, vet
not very heavy risks, kept his mind
pretty fully occupied.


Yet, he kept general oversight of
his family, and if anything chanced
to displease him, he hesitated not
to vent his displeasure in most en-
phatic terms. Still, when his heart
was reached, through the callous-
ness OF money getting with which
he had it enclosed, it was really
kind and true.

He then swung slowly TO the right I;
his eyes closed, and then opened twice
with difficulty, film gathering over
them, and then shut forever; his
hands fell heavily from his breast to
his sides and twitched two or three
times, and were still; his body raised

+ A party of men, say from three to a


dozen, get together, and hold frequent


meetings, and act according to a plan


laid down One or two will find out some


copperplate printer in the employ of the


Bank Note Company-in fact all such


printers are known by the party. These


men will manage to meet one of the


printers in the evening, get acquainted


with him, drink, and have a good time


generally with him, and so proceed for a


few evenings. Then they offer him from


fifty to one hundred and fifty dollars to


procure certain kind of impression.


This impression is made in this wise;


The printer will take an impression


upon tin foil from the plate from which


he is printing, which can be done in a


moment. Thus you see every line and
size is obtained correctly. From


this tin foil an electrotype plate
is made. They then engage some
plate printer that can be found about the
city, have time with him, and engage
him at twenty dollarssper day to do the
printing By this plan thousands of
copies are struck off which defy detec-
ton, except in the quality of the paper,
which will slightly differ from the genu-
inc. The place Of mandatory is gen
orally some distance from New York,
like Staten Island, Flatbush, or some
times Baxter street, or similar localities in
that city. 1t is strange fact, in every
case where party of this kind exists,
that every member lacks confidence in
his associates Every move made by
one is narrowly watched BY the others
of the party. 1t would be death to an |
informant or spy that did not look well |
to himself. .---Peferson' Defector tIQiA

A few days ago, as report has it, q
novel procedure took place in this city in
the nature of the chastising of newly
married man by the brides mother.
From what we can learn of the case the
gentleman deserved all he got, and we
trust it has made lasting impression
upon his mind, if it did not upon his face
and head. II seems the gentleman, who
was widower, wooed, won and married
an industrious young lady, who formerly
resided in the lower part of this State,
and who was engaged in the business of
dress making, but who moved to this city
short time before Mr.. - became ac-
quaiuted with her. She was doing a good
business in the above line when he mar
ried her. The honeymoon had hardly
passed before the husband blasted all
the bright prospects, as we'll az the faith
fol promises be had made to her, by
getting upon one Of bis old-time drunks;
and when in that condition be is as filthy
in his habits as drunken man can we'll
be. He continued on his sprees, despite
the pleadings Of her whom he had prem
ised to love and cherish, until forbesr-
ance ceased to be virtue, aud she laid
her grievances before her mother, who
thought she would try another style Of
argument; so she supplied herself with
a pair Of weapons known as steel
knuckles, and visited the residence OF
her unfaithful son-in-lsw, and proceeded
to chastise him in q manner that brought
him to his knees, and he promised to do
whatever she wished. He begged his
wifes pardon for his past neglect, His
mother.in.Isw had Bible brought forth,
and made him take an oath TO abstain
from the Intoxicating cup. How long
be will keep his oath we will see.

tion, will also be able to take his scat without

Mr. Editor VIII you allow me to call at
tention to an article, in your last issue, from
our town, over the signature of More Anon,
stating that the difficulties between the
Methodist minister" OF this place = and his
congregation, and the citizens generally, are on
the increase. and to say that the statement OF
your correspondent is as false and malicious as
it is insidious and cowardlv. So far as this
community is concerned, it needs no refuta-
ton but for those who do not know the facts,
will state:


l. That at no time since my appointment to
to this charge, have the relations of pastor and
people been so kindly as at present

and the spiritual condition of the charge is bet.
ter than at any time within my knowledge.


3. Our meetings Of all kinds are better at
tended than they have been for years, and the
interest is steadily increasing. Last evening
over fifty knet at the sacramental board-sOme
thing that never before Occurred-and at the
invitation of the pastor, quite a number Of
souls sought Christ in the pardon of their sins
4. We have raised more money for benevolent
and ordinary church purposes, than was evel
raised on the charge before, and the enc is mo-
yet.
