Sire flailjr fuss. HENRY CLEVELAND, Editor. AUGUSTA, GA . 1 FRIDAY MORNING, FEB. 2. 1866 Complimentary. The Luke City (Fla.) Press, oi the 26th January, has the followiujf notice: “Our friend, E. 11. Pughe, is now publish ing a hauds.nne daily paper iu Augusta, Ga. Mr. P. will be remembered by many o/our citizens as the publisher, atone time, of the St. John's Mirror, Jacksonville, Fla.” How the Adams Express Thieves were Detected. —The Boston Journal has the following from a correspondent in New York-. New England is still ahead. New York has shrewd detectives, but can’t compete with New England brains. All the money 'lost by Adams Express has been recovered and the robbers arrested. It was accom plished in this wise: Spooner, who is the head of the New England department of the Express Company, was called out of his bed at Bridgeport on the night of the robbery, and the fact announced to him. He took the whole charge of ferreting out the thieves. He believed they would come back to New York that night. He agreed on a signal .from the conductor by which every man should be pointed out to him who got on board between Bridgeport and New Y ork. Mr. Spooper took a lantern and went through the train as a conductor. Two men were spotted and watched. They jumped off at Forty-second street and were follow ed. After a circuit of some three or four miles, they brought up at a house on Tenth avenue. They had nothing with them. To get the money was quite as important a? to arrest the robbers. Convinced that they would go and get the money and return with it, they were allowed to depart, but a detective was put on their truck. - As was expected, they returned with the money and were nabbed. They were not lost sight of for a moment from the time they first got. on board the train till they were in the Station-house. A better piece of detective work has not been seen in New York lately. Josh Bilmsgs oh Preaching.—“l always tfflvise short sermons, especially on a hot Sunday. If a minister kant strike ile in boreing 40 miuutes, he haz either got a poor gimblet or else he iz a boreing in the rong place.” An eye witness relates the following incident: “At a revival meeting in Illi nois, an impulsive Dutchman was pres ent. In the progress of the meeting, Dutchey’s feeling became overpowering, and, rising and swinging, his hat, he exclaimed, with unction, “Hurrah for ■Shesus I He ish de feller I” The effect was electrical, the serious countenances giving way to merry ones. —Since August last, the Treasury Department at Washington has destroy ed, by burning, over $43,000,000 worth of mutilated and cancelled notes of all kinds, and 10,000,000 additional will soon be added to the flames. Recent experiments in the British navv proved that the 1 thick oil of petro leum, the resid.urn of the third distilla tion, i3 the best substitute for coal in generating steam. —lncorrigible urchin to a well-dressed John Bull—“I say, old feller, how does ye spell saloon over in your country ?” English Swell—“With a hes, a hay, a hell, two hoes and a hen —Sa-l-00-n.” —A young widow, on being asked why she was going to get married so soon alter the death of her first husdand, replied, “I do it to prevent fretting my self to death on account of dear Tom.” —Burton N. Harrison, late Private Secretary of Jefferson Davis, who has for some time past been confined in Fort Delaware, has been released by the President. —By keeping steadily drunk for one year in Missouri, you can be divorced without fail. Isn’t this a premium on ■drunkenness ? —The ashes of a smoked cigar are little thought of—those of man scarcely more. —A pin has as much head as a good ■many authors, and a great deal more point. —To rob .a roan of his money, is to wound him in the chest. —There is a bill before Congress to tax horse racing.
