g«"l AUGUSTA HERALD. TUESDAY, SEPT. 29, 1919. K7* WE inadvertently committed an error, in our last publication, iu ! stating that John A. Cuthbert, Esq. was not & candidate for Congress The error was detected and rectified before all the papers were struck off; but, to “ make assurance doubly sure," we deem it necessary now to say, that this gentleman is a candidate. We are authorised to state, upon respectable authority, that Col. Ed ward Harden is not a candidate for Congress. This information we re ceived last week, but misunderstood our informant, and thus fell into the | abovementioned error. A company of counterfeiters says the Milledgeville Reflector, have late ly been detected in Franklin county, Alabama territory, and two of the men committed to prison. It appears that they had counterfeited upwards of £90,000, on the state bank of North Carolina, the bank of New-York, and the Potomack bank. These notes are ■aid to be well executed and require , a minute examination to detect the I imposition. The celebrated Allen ' Twitty, was concerned in this ma nufactory. Mr. Saunders, in Wall-street, New- York, it is said, has, after sundry im s provements, brought the Kaleidos cope to a perfection hitherto unknown —-they now have a brilliancy of co lours, with a revolving wheel, which ! produces a most surprising and beau- j tiful effect, and are said to be supe rior to any manufactured in England. ' The Judge of the District Court of | the United States for .Maryland dis trict, has issued warrants agaiust se veral gentlemen of this city on a charge of being concerned in fitting : out a Patriot privateer from this port. The information was given on oath, and the parties arrested have giveu bail to appear at the next court. [Balt. Fed. Repub. 4 —■ By an arrival at Norfolk on the 15th inst. from St. Domingo, we learn that Coftee wag retailing at that place at One Dollar per pound. It is stated that the cashier of the Essex Bank in Salem, Mass, has ab sconded with near 100.009 dollars in cash. He has not yet been heard of. The Steam-boat Virginia passed at anchor at the mouth of the river, a large Portuguese ship, supposed from Brazils, and captured by an Artigau privateer. She is in charge of an of ficer of the revenue cutter, and has been libelled by the Portuguese con sul. The ship is represented from 900 to 1000 tons, uravvs twenty four feet water, and has a million pounds or sugar on board, besides oth er cargo. A large part of her roust be taken out before she can come into the river ; neither her name nor .other circumstances are yet known. Balt. American, 16 th inst. TO FOREIGNERS. Aliens are informed, that such as have arrived in the United Stales since April 14, 1802, must report themselves to the clerk of some Court of Record, and wait five years before they can be naturalized, even though they may have declared their inten- 1 tion to become citizens some time since. Those who have not made their de claration, must do that also three years before they can be naturalized. Hy the law of congress, the certificate of report and registry must be produced to the court, as an evidence of the time of arrival in the United States, 4 at the time of application to be natur alized ; and by a law passed 22d March, 1816, said certificate of re port and regularly must be recited at full length in the certificate of uatur aliz&tien ; otherwise such certificate will be of no validity. JVat. Intelligencer. Broken Banks —A correspondent at Zanesville, (Ohio) has sent us the following list of Banks which have failed in that state: German bank of Wooster, Granville Alexandrian Society, Owl Creek bank of Mount VernoD, Bank of New Philadelphia, Bank of New Salem, Bank of Sraithfield. Modern Reformers. Tuesday, at the Salford Quarter Sessions, James Mahon waseonvicted of stealing a coat, a shirt, and a pair of stockings, the property of his mas ter. In bis defence he stated that he was a Reformer, and that the prose cutor having two coats, both of which were better than his own, he had a natural right to one of them ! London paper. FOR THE AUGUSTA HERALD. BEWARE OF CHEATS. THE World’s a Cheat—so said a Poet— By some few facts I mean to show it. Os infancy no sooner cheated, ; But youthful scenes of life’s regretted i In vain we bid the moments stay, When youth made every season gay. Arriv’d, at length, at Manhood’s prime, Ambition’s heights we strive to climb ; But then—nine times in ten—we trip, And down the precipice we slip: Os fortune, fame, completely cheated, Our views of greatness all defeated. In life, each take a different road, Still aiming at some distant good; “ Boastful—your first son is a ’squire, “The next—a merchant—mucli a liar— “ Tom struts a soldier—bold and brave, “Will, sneaks a scriv’ner—a great knave.” The ’squire, in trumpeting his fame, To infamy consigns his name— The tradesman’s caught in his own trap, The dupe of some more knowing chap. The soldier finds—the first campaign, A wooden leg—his golden chain— The scribbling, quibbling, knowing elf, Os his own reason cheats himself. The Miser—doubly he is cheated, Egregiouslv, he is outwitted : And, with a fortune worth a plum, Starv’d here ! and damn’d in kingdom come !* j The Lawyer—he’s without a flaw, If logic’s truth—<md justice law: He’ll prove more honest—never doubt, A knave in cash—than saint without; Nay—that there’s rteither good, or evil ; Nor right—or wrong—nor God—or Devil : N: *y *bat right’s wrong—and wrong is right; That white is black—and black is white, j Snc h hocus-pocus tricks as these, i We own, require substantial fees. | The Doctor—he must starve o - cheat, | For truth would all his arts defeat; ; Did he tell Hectie—“ Sir, you’ll die, “ No more on medicines rely— I “Your days are few—some six or seven, I “ Prepare for death—make peace with Hea ven Do you think he’d thus get fame, or wealth, Or add to soul or body’s health l The patient would reply—“ Your stuff “ Has made me, d—n it, bad enough. “ Out of rav doors—no cure, no pay— “ I here dismiss you from this day: “Run, John, and cal/ in Doctor Quack ; “ He’ll cure— or hill me —-in a Crack.” i Quack comes—with medicines he fills him, And in a crack—by George—he kills him. The Parson—now wc must be grave— Strives hard each sinner’s soul ‘o save ; Bids them repent, and turn from evil, Or else—he proves—they’ll see the Devil. But, Scrapewell, trust not to such drones, Tlie Devil still shall pick your bones. The Statesman—in black gown and wig, All must allow’s a knowing prig— O! how he’ll prate, and om&P) pother, Apd.-’t fmd that, and/other; ...rives all he can the world to please, And proves the moon is made of cheese. Then, wisely, to his gulls—re narks, That when the sky falls —theifl cutch larks. The Ladies—now we mils’ be gay— Celestial Muses—what are th-y ? They are, a sort, of—bitter-sxtieet: Cheats privileged unchecked to cheat; Who, long ago, had been iiutcted For treason—were the count \V righted. For sure it rnusi be usurpation To govern those who rule fie nation; Our soldiers of their hearts*.o cheat, Is also treason ’gainst the. strite : For heartless, they must suyely fail, Though cas’d in tenfold colts of mail; For ’tis the heart the nerves '-hat steels, And when that fails they’ll talie t’their heels. 0! would you—for you welt could spare it, Transfuse some portion of your spirit, Or barter your soft heart for theirs, We’d then have other sort of wars : We’d outdo all in France or Flanders, And all our men be Alexanders. So much for theory—but the fact is, Let’s see how things go on in practice. ’Tis yours to change all common rules, Make freemen slaves—and wise men fools: Yet we must own your slaves will fight, Your fools, like vise men, do what’s right. Let all, then, bow to you and Cupid, Who’re not incorrigibly stupid. Projectors next, claim our attention, Who still obtrude some new invention. Thus in defiance of abuse, They forward bring, to gen’ral use, Water and wind mills—trifling nick-nacks ; Steam-boats and team-boats—silly gimcrack 3: And ’spite of our well-meant reproaches, Have chang’d our cars and carts to coaches. A trifling race that none believe, And all treat, as the world treats Though last, not least of cheats, are we Poets l —yet hear us make our plea: Though cheats, we’re honest—for ’tis ours To cheat you of your heavy hours; To make you sleep, or make you smile ’ Tis equal—each your hours beguile. Now something false—then something true ; Now something old—then something new We give—And if, perchance a rubber, The Muse may add—why, who can snub her l Vet—did our will the power comprise, We’d make ye— Healtht — Wsaltht—Wise. J. E. A HORRIBLE crime, which pre sents in its detail the most astonish ing courage and singular presence of inind, has been lately committed in the vicinity of & little village of the Brie. It altogether forms a drama, the episodes of which possess great interest. If the trial to which it will give rise shall not obtain the melan choly celebrity of the case of Fualdes, it will at least display the character of wotnau, whose frightful situation ; was more critical than that of the ’ mysterious and imprudent heroine of Khodez. A pedlar and his wife, a shot;t time sinee, presented themselves, at night fall, at the door of a little farm, house, a short distance from the high road. They requested of the farmer permis s on to sleep there, whose wife was still confined to her bed, having late ly lain-in. A small room was assig- j ned to them, where t.hey passed the night quietly. The next day being Sunday, the farmer and his servants went to mass to a neighboring village. | The pedlar also expressed a wish to go there and there remained in the house only the wife of the farmer and ! the pedlar’s wife, who complained that she was not well, and a child six years of age. Scarcely had the people gone out, wheu the pedlar’s wife armed with a knife, presented herself at the bed of the iying-tu woman, and demanded her money, threatening to kill her m case of refusal. The latter, sick aud weak, did uot oppose the slightest re sistance, and delivered up the keys of her drawers, at the same time desi ring the hut* boy to conduct the wo man who had to look for something in them. She rose softly from her bed, followed the pedlur’s wife with out beiug heard, and having beckoned the child out of (he room, locked the robber up in the chamber. She (hen desired the child to run to the village, to apprize his father, aud desire him lo bring assistance. The child did not lose an instant; hut by an luconeeivubte fatality, met on the road the pedlar, who had left the church, no doubt, to join Ins wile. Having asked the child where he was going, he answered ingenuously, he was going to seek his father, as an at tempt was made to rob them. Ihe pediar took the child by the baud, and said it would be unnecessary, und that he would himself go to protect lus mo ther. They returned to the farm where the farmer’s wife was shut upj they kuocked at the door, but this woman uot recognising the voice of her hus band, obstinately refused to open it, and being unable to attain his end, threatened to cut her child’s throat, if she did not iustanlly decide upon it. Furious at uot being able to prevail upon her, be executed this horrible threat, and killed the child, almost ; under the eyes of its mother, who ! heard without beiug able to give suc cour, the cries and last sighs of her sou. After having committed this use less crime, he endeavored to penetrate into the house to save his wife; time pressed, they might each moment re- i turn from mass, and he could uot sue- ! need in getting admission but bv moun ting on the roof and descending down the chimney. During all this time he exhausted his rage in menaces and imprecations against the fat liter’s wife, who, almost fainting, saw nothing to deliver her from certain death. This wretch had already got into the chim ney, and was about to enter into the chamber when the farmer’s wife, col lecting all her force, drew by sudden inspiration, the paiiasse of her tied to i the edge of the hearth, aud there set it on fire. The smoke in a few min utes enveloped the assassin, who not being able to re-ascend, very goon fell into the fire half suffocated. The courageous farmer’s wife lost not her presence of mind, but struck him se veral blows with the poker, which put him beyond the chance of recovering his senses. Finally, exhausted with fatigues and mental agony, she fell dying on the carpet of her chamber, and remained in this situation till the moment when the farmer and his ser vants returned from church to be wit nesses of this horrible occurrence The dead body of the child I’maUd, at the gate of the farm house, was the l first object that struck the eyes of this j unhappy father. They forced open | the gates, and after having recalled to life the farmer’s wife, they seized the two who were delivered up to justice. It is believed the pedlar will survive his wounds, and be able to receive the punishment due to his crimes. The two assassins will be immediately brought before the Court of Assize of the department, where this affair is in preparation for trial, which excites the greatest interest thro’ the whole country— Quotidienne.
