Arrests.
Ai o. Cartledge and Kdw’d. V. P. Hawes were
Yesterday arrested hy the City Marshal, John A.
Christian, for acting in a disorderly and threaten
ing manner in the public streets. From what we
can learn, one or both < f the parties were some
what excited by drinking, and were also exhibit
ing dangerous weapons on the public thorough- ,
fare of Broad street. In arresting them, Mr. Chris
tian, as we further understand, used his stick, and
although he was shot at and narrowly escaped, lie
succeeded in making the arrest without sustaining
any injury, although Messrs. Cartledge and
Hawes received several severe licks over their
heads. They were committed to jail.

" Optics keen, he has we ween,
To see what is not to be -een."
Our cotemporary of the Southern Recorder, o;
Sth lust., in the free indulgence of his wit anu
learning, has met with the sad fate of one, chroni
cled in undying verse, whose gun “bore wide, and
kicked its owner over.”
The following is the article to which we refer;
We copied from the Augusta Constitutionalist a
few days ago a humorous anecdote, showing
most lamentable degree of ignorance of Bible his
Tory, which was exhibited by three distinguished ,
lawyers of Missouri, and which the St. Louis Ei
yul-lioan says “calls for prompt action on the pari
of the American Bible Society or greater Sunday
school facilities.”
We supposed our Augusta cotemporary in pub
lishing it was actuated by a laudable desire to nil
press upon the youth of our country the necessity
of reading the “good book,” and the fact that no
elevation “of social position or extent of acquire
ments in oilier respects would excuse the neglecl
of it. What was our surprise, then, in a late num
ber of his paper, to see in an article on the subject
the birth of the infant “King of Algiers,” in Paris,
the following sentence :
“ It it is true that there is always joy in Heaven
when a boy child is born, it is equally true lhal
there was great joy in France w'hen the young
Prince made his appearance."
We regret to say that in the above sentence, our
eotemporary has placed himself in the same cat<-
gorv with the Missouri Lawyers, whom he would
hold up to the reprobation of the Bible read
ing public. We suppose that while writing it. In
had running through the dim recesses of his memo
ry a vague and shadowy recollection of the passage
of Scripture which say’s, “Joy shall be in Ilea vet
over one sinner that repentetli, - ' Ac.
We call upon our friend for chapter and verse
for his quotation.- —Sout'nern Meander.
The extract from this paper, which the editor
publishes, says not one word about the Bible; doe-,
not refer to any passage, chapter, or verse in the
saered volume, and yet we are called upon to poin
out the “chapter aud verse for our quotation,"
when we never made a “quotation.” Our allusion
was to a venerable, and to us,’ familiar supersti
tion.
We do not feel disposed to fatigue our readers
with reference to hoary traditions, which have lef:
their impress upon the Laws of Primogeniture,
and the Salic law wherever it obtains ; and which,
in many countries at the present day, give import
ance to the birth of a male child, and particularly
to the first born son. The Irish, we believe, have
a superstition about the first and the seventh son,
and a portion of the peasantry of that region con
sider the birth of a boy good cause for rejoicing
on earth and in Heaven. The Jews have a prayer
which is to be repeated every morning, and has been
in their ritual from time immemorial, “Blessed
art thou, oh Lord our God, that thou hast not cre
ated me a woman.” We might, if we felt disposed,
revert at some length, to the days of the Mosaic
law, when the first born of beasts, being male,
were offered as sacrifices to the Lord ; and being
boys, were required to be redeemed, that is, devo
ted to God, we believe, and which is alluded to in
the second chapter of Luke, “It is written in the
law of the Lord, that every male born shall be
called holy to the Lord"—and to many other por
tions of Scripture for the presumed authority or or
igiu of ihe traditions, or superstitious if you please,
which have prevailed, that there is always joy in
Heaven when a boy child is born.
We trust that our friends of the Southern //< -
eordcr, who were so captious about what they did
not see. will be satisfied now with what they do
see.
•Tgv~ We see it stated, says the Journal of Com
merce, that the -Secretary of the United States
Treasury, Hon. James Guthrie, had the question
of charging duty on American grain bags return
ed to this country, under advisement, and we had
no doubt would decide it so as to do justice to all
parties. We are not, therefore, surprised to learn
that instructions have been received here to admit
the bajs free of duty, as prescribed by the in
structions of 1847. This will give satisfaction to
our merchants, and facilitate the export trade in
breadstufis.

An Awful Scene.
The following is a thrilling account of the re- ;
cent murder of four children by their mother,
committed near Oneida Lake, in Madison county, j
Yew York. The following is the evidence before \
the Coroner’s Jury:
William Dixon, sworn, says: Sunday morning, ]
the 23d, William Ward came to our house and '
-aid the woman was killing her children over a: \
the second house; I went over to the house and !
saw a little boy standing in the yard on the snow- i
bank; Mrs. Ward was tiie name of the woman j
tint was killing her children ; the little boy refer- j
red to was her son ; I asked him if his mother had
killed any of the children ; he said ves; the boy j
said his mother had killed Emma, Elizabeth and j
I Netty: I met Mr. Schuyler at the gate and we |
went into the yard together; I saw the children !
lying dead : one was oil the ground near the stoop,
another lay on the stoop near the door that goes
into the house; another was in the hall; Mrs.
Ward stood partly behind the door that led from
the hall to the kitchen, in the act of cutting her
throat with a razor; 1 said to her, “ Mrs. Ward,
what have you been doing?” She replied, “dis
patch me quickly.” 1 took hold of her hands and
pulled them down from her neck, and took the
razor from her; I threw the razor arid axe tha
lay at her feet on the floor out into the snow; the
axe was covered with blood. Directly my father
came in, and we made her lay down on the bed ;
she seemed somewhat excited, and said to me fre
quently that she wished l would cut her head oft’.
When 1 and my father were gelling her back imo
a room for the purpose of having her lay down,
we discovered the babe in the bed with its throat
cut and dead. I asked her if she had killed her
. children. Her reply was, “cut off my head quick
ly.”
. Charles Ward, about eight years old, sou of Mrs.
Ward, testilies: I saw my mother kill Elizabeth
I Ann first; she killed her with an axe; Anna lav
down on the floor in the entry; my mother struck
\rma several times; Netty was standing on the
stoop, aud mother went and struck Netty with the
axe ; Emma, my sister, was in the house under the
! bed ; my mother went and brought her out on to
the stoop and struck her with the axe; Emma crept
off from the stoop on her hands and knees ; my
mother struck her again ; my father was on the
lake tisiiing.
, l>r. Wilson being sworn, says—l am a physician;
I have examined the bodies of the children lying
at the house of Mr. Ward ; I should think that the
children, from the appearance of the wounds, came
to their deaths bv being struck with an axe ; the
infant s head is cut off; the second child’s head is
about half cut off; the other two are badly cut
about the neck ; when 1 dressed the wound, Mrs.
Ward’s eyes had a glassy look, and she said she
did not wish to live, and wanted to have her head
cut off
Lott Ward being sworn, says—l have been in
this country about five years ; 1 was married in
England; my wife did not like the idea of leaving
England to come to this country; my wife had a
great desire to return to England after we hud
been in this country about one year; I hired out
to Mr. Chase, of Yew Hartford, Oneida county,
and lived in the same house with him, but we had
reparate rooms; after we hail lived with him
about two weeks, my wife wanted to go back to
England, and I did not want to go; about that
time my wife made an attempt to drown herself,
und also to hang herself, and ran, a penknife into
her throat; she had times of being low-spirited,
and I was afraid that she would make way with
herself; my wife’s mother was subject to these
-pells of being low-spirited, and they had to con
fine her for a few days.
After the examination of . everd other witnesses
the Jury gave in their verdict that the same chil
dren came to their deaths as aforesaid, by blows
. inflicted upon them with an axe by the hand of
thir mother while in a state of t< m mental
derangement.
Appearance-;. Upon the subject «.i d ess and
appearances, tin* .New Voii. 7V//e» thus remarks :
“A coat that has the marks of use upon it i- a
recommendation to people of sense, and a hat with
mo smooth a nap and too high a lustre is a de
rogatory circumstance. The best coats in Broad
way are on the backs of penniless fops, broken
down merchants, clerks with pitiful salaries, and
men that don’t pay up. The heaviest gold chains
dangle from the fobs of gamblers and gentle
men of very limited means; costly ornament
on the ladies indicate to the eyes that are well
open, the fact of a silly lover or husband cramp
ed for funds. And when a pretty woman goes
by in a suit of plain and neat apparel, it is a
-ign that she has fair expectations and a hus
band that can show a balance in his favor. For
women are like books, too much gilding makes
; men suspicions that the binding is the most impor
tant point.”
A Prompt and Accurate Public Officer. —We
heard mentioned yesterday, as a commendable in
stance of despatch in the settlement of a large ac
count, that Col. Forney, late Clerk of the House of
Representatives, had on the l? f inst., within an
hour after receiving an informal report of adjust
ment from the First Comptroller, finally closed his
i accounts, by simply transferring to the United
States the balance standing to his credit on the
; books of the Treasury, there being not one cent of
difference between his statement ns rendered and
that of the Department. His disbursements, wc
learned on inquiry, covered transactions running
through four years of official service, and embraced
: the expenditure of over two million of dollars, un
der about seventy different heads of appropriation.
From these facts, and from the following dates,
some idea may he had of the celerity of his move
ments, so far as he had control of the settlement.
The Committee on Accounts of the House, who
first audit the expenses of that body, passed upon
’he last of Col. Forney’s vouchers about February
25th, and on the 22th of the same month he sent
them for settlement to the Treasury. On the Ist
of April he was informed unofficially of the ad
justment of the final account, and within an hour
after, he closed by makingthe transfer stated above.
This promptness reflects much credit indeed upon
Col. Forney, and his chief (and financial > clerk,
Mr. McKean, and furnishes to many ft • mds of Col.
F. another instance to justify their on-fit 'once and
esteem.— Washington Star, April 5.
A Night of Horror in a Wilderness.— The
Poughkeepsie Ea.aU gives an account of a night's
adventure of Mr. Arvine Clark in the wilderness
in Potter county, Pennsylvania, during the past
w inter. It appears he lost his way, travelled for
hours, when, as night set in, he found himself eicht
miles from anv settlement, surrounded by bears
and wolves. One of the former he shot dead in
the dark as the animal was about to spring upon
him. His next effort was to kindle a fire. He
collected some dry materials and loading his gun
with powder fired the charge into a dry cotton
handkerchief. It was a failure 1 As the gun was
discharged, another bear, apparently within
t wenty feet of him, gave a hideous and awful roar
that made Clark’s hair stand on end. Bruin was
terribly frightened by the discharge of the gun,
and hastily scampered, much to the relief of Clark,
who now began to fully realize the danger of his
position.
Here he remained, not daring to fall asleep.
\bout two o'clock in the morning, to add to the
horrors of his situation, the veil of a panther was
heard. Ihe beast -approached—came nearer
every few minutes—uttered a screech that froze
the blood in his veins. A-a last resort to defend
himselt from the attack of the savage animal, re
-1 >aded his gun, putting in some three-eent pieces
and steel pens, . for he had nothing else, ) which he
ltopetl might do some execution. The animal
came so near that the glare of his eyes resembled
two bails of fire ! Clark every moment expected
to receive the fata! spring. There he remained
without daring to move, with the fierv eyes of
the panther fixed upon him! In this dreadful
situation, expecting every’ moment to be torn in
pieces, he remained till break of dav, when he
was relieved from danger and the animal disap
peared. Hungry, and weary and exhausted, he left
for the settlement, where he arrived about noon
and related his thrilling adventure. A partv pro
ceeded to the place where the bear was shot, and
brought in his carcass, which proved to be a very
large one. It was dressed and forwarded to New
i ork.

Texas style of Speaking. —Style—-proper words
in proper places.—Swift. All the world in Texas
knows Old King, as he is called, a sort of Daniel
Lambert of a man, weighing his three hundred :
and fifty pounds, full of jokes and hospitality, re- ■
nowned for his “Seditious” in his house, and
whose only trouble in the money line is bis “cos
tive” gals, as he terms them. He once owed a
man a just debt which he refused to pay, when J
due, in silver, but he had made his creditor j
a tender of a bank bill, which was refused—suit j
brought, judgment obtained, and property levied j
on. Hear him in his own “Goverential” language:
“ Now, Squire Spore, you owed a man a jist debt, J
and was to make him a tender of a hank bill, j
which he refuses to accept, and he fetches suit, aud
the Sheriff was to level a writ of execration on your
truck, what would you do in such a case ?” “Don’t
know, Colonel,” said the Squire, “it would depend
on circumstances.” “Well,” replies old King, “I'll
tell you what I'll do : if that varmint sells iny truck,
d—n me if 1 don’t make a sacrament of him.” i
Illustrating a Point. —Sir Fletcher Norton was
noted for his want of courtesy. When pleading j
before Lord Mansfield on some questions of mano
rial right, he chanced unfortunately to sav, “ My
lord, I can illustrate the point in an instant in my
own person. !, myself, have two little manors."
The judge immediately interposed, with one of his
blandest smiles, “We all know it. Sir Fletcher.”

“Yaw—you dells me fust how mooch I owsh

“Nu—seeven tollar unt vifty cents !”
“Veil den—here’s de vifty cents —nefer mint do

The other day a gentleman gave a couple of
cents to a woman who asked charity- of him. “Two
cents!” she exclaimed, “take them back, sir; I
asked for charity; I can’t do anything with two
cents ” “My dear madam,” said the gentleman,
“I beg you’ll keep the cents and give them to
some poor person.”
A writer on China, speaking of the aptitude for
Christian civilization, of celestial juveniles at Can

“The children are intelligent and sharp; they j
pick up English easily. Almost all the young i

English.”

To the Million. -Professor Wood,
| of St. Louis, has, after years of deep study and un-
J tiring research, succeeded in presenting to the
! public an article superior to any now in use, and
; indeed it is truly a wonderful discovery wu ad
vert to bis HAIR RESTORATIVE, the only art!
j cla that luts been completely successful in cheating
| age of his gray locks, removing dandrusT, itching,
j scrofula, Ac. It restores the gray-headed to more
j than the original beauty ; adds new lustre to locks
i already luxuriant; having the effect on coarse,
i harsh hair to render it glossy and wavev ; fastens
permanently hair that is loose or lulling, and man*
i other qualities which will become known as soon
as used.
The pride of mankind is singularly developed in
i the keeping and arrangement of the hair ; perhaps
i from the fact that it is the only portion of the liu
| mail body that we can train in any way we choose;
j how important, then, having this portion left to
I our care, that we should use all the means science
has placed in our hands to render it beautiful and
permanent. If you would have beautiful hair,
glossy hair, permanent hair, hair with its natural
; color elegantly preserved to extreme old age, don’t
j fail to purchase Wood’s Hair Restorative. Fail;

CELEBRATED ARABIAN LINIMENT
IS well known to possess the most wonderfully
. healing, penetrating and stimulating properties,
and by its promptness in effecting cures, which I
previously had resisted all other medicines, ad
ministered by the most scientific physicians, has
placed it far beyond any similar remedy ever in
j troduced to the people of the United States, it i
stimulates the absorbents to increased action, anu
thus enables nature to throw off disease— it pent- .
tratr-n to the hones, adding strength and activity to
the muscles—it is powerfully anodyne and thereby
allays nervous irritation , producing a delightfully
pleasing sensatfan through the whole frame. Owing
to its remarkable antieeptic properties, it purifies
and neutralizes that poisonous, corrosive principle
which renders old ulcerous sores so difficult to heal;
. it therefore is peculiarly adapted to their speedy
cure. This Liniment from its penetrating and
• strengthening qualities has been found to be~a spe
- ; cilic for Paralysis or Palsy, Whiteswellings and
f j diseased joints, and in fact all comnlaints invol
, ving the muscular system. It has cured cases of
f Rheumatism of twenty to thirty years’ standing,
-* and affections of the Spine wherein the entire spi- j
nal column was so crooked and distorted, that the
• patient could not walk or stand without artificial |
support. Numerous cases of Palsy have been
■ cured when the flesh had withered, leaving nothing
but the dried skiu and bone, and the limbs total 1 v
| without use or feeling. For Children with Croup
it is of inestimable value, rubbed and bathed ot er
; the throat and chest. If applied freely on the chest
; it never fails to give relief in the severe Coughs at
tending Consumption, Asthma and Colds. Jt heals
wounds speedily—will cure Scaldhead, Mange, etc.
t Planters and Farmers will find it a most valuable
i medicine to be applied to Horses and Cattle for 5
. Sprains, Bruises, Lameness, Stiff Joints, Sweeney,
3 Dry Shoulder, Wounds, Burns, Splint, Chafes or
Gails, Hardened Knots on the flesh, etc.
i | Look out fear Counterfeits !
i The public are cautioned against another coun
■ tori! it, which has lately made its appeal once, called
IV. B. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, the most dan
i gerotts of all the counterfeits, because his having
. ! the name of Farrell, many will buy it in good
; i faith, without the knowledge that a counterfeit ex
. ists, and they will perhaps only discover their error
j when the spurious mixture has wrought its evil
f j effects.
I j The genuine article is manufactured only bv H.
i G. Farrell, sole inventor and proprietor, and whole
