The tm had almost disappeared, leaving here and there a few gold' tt traces —the residue of former grande ur. The miners work was fiuished for the day, and the miners had gath ered in a crowd awaiting the ariival of the mail-carrier, whose coming to tiie district was like a shower of sun beams after gloomy darkness The mining district here referred to vas situate ) on the Pacific coast, where tren made fortunes in the day and lost them at night. Evsty class was here represented—tho ignorant and the educated, the refined and ths brutal—all on a common level. ' As tiie postman rode up lie handed the miners several packages of lo'ieis, and one to Henry Stanton, tho most successful miner in tho district. Mr. Stanton immediately rep tired to his cabin door and opened ttie package letters from the old home, from his father Eugene Holmes, his betroth ed. But here lot us explain Henry Stan ton’s presence in this mining district, lie was formerly of Cincinnati, Ohio, where his father still resided, weal thy and well lespectec. A disgrace had fallen upon Henry which caused Lira to leave his hetne to seek his for tune away from toe feene of his !u --miiintions. lie had been a cashier in the hanking house of a well-known firm in Cincinnati, and was trusted by this fiim with im[ licit confidence, fre quently being left in charge of tho hank tor months. He was a skillful manager and perfectly honest in all his operations. At one of the month ly examinations by the trustees on the condition of the bank, lie was found defaultei to the ?mount of §IO,OOO. The trustees considered this 3 mte mis take in the enshiet’s account and gave him a week to re adjust tne er ror. Henry worked hard to make the correction, hut it was impossible for him to discover where the error was- The evidence was clear against him, and he was placed under arrest. His fad was a great shock to ail wito knew him. His fattier paid the amount to which tie was a defaulter, believing, however, that his son wasguilty. He was shunned by his former friends, wto basked in the sunshine of his prosperity, and, when that sunshiwe failed, like summerbirds, they sought other climes. The beautiful young lady to whom he was engaged to bo i nianied within a tew weeks was for- i hidden to speak to him, although in | her heart she believed he was innocent j of the crime of which the evidence I against him allowed him 'o be guilty. j As soon as he gained his liberty tie secured a secret interview with E - gene, and there denied his guilt and declared one day he would he known as an innocent and honest man. They both pledged to remain true to each other until they should meet again. They parted, Henry to brave the dan gers ol the‘‘far West.” Leaving be hind liim all that was near and dear, Henry ntaited west, with no pirticuiar purpose or object in view but at length drifted with the tide of hu manity into a noted mining district, and by diet of hard woik and good fi r uno lie accumulated an immense sum ot money, and nut of this fortune he paid his father the SIO,OOO, Hen ry had just received letters from his old home, and among them one from his betrothed. She urged him to re turn and establish himself in bis home, and live down the disgrace on | his name. The assurance she gave j him, and the clear evidence of her j fidelity to him, shook the resolution j he had formed never to return home ( until the stain on his character Was completely removed. She urged as he uow had the means he could the mote effectual y prove his innocence. Her argument was supplemented !>y the fact that Eugene’s father had determined that -he should wed an other, one who had been installed in Henry’s place as cashier in the batik from which he had be3n expelled This man’s father, Judge Willson, was President of the bank, and made his son Frank assitant cashier under Henry Stanton. Henry often thought tha his assi-tant had something tot do wilb the error in his account, but as he had no evidence he puid-ntly kept silent. Now that Frank Will son had not only secured his position in the bank, but was about to deprive him of his sweet Eugene, ho hesitated no louger- Oa the following day he sold out his rich mining claims to a company for SBO,OOO, and this sum added to the amount he had prudently saved while working the mine, made a neat fortune of SIIO,OOO. He wrote to Eugene that he wouid be in Cincin na'i three months from the date of his lette-, and also to bis father, in closing both letters to hi- father. Settling his business, Henry started home to 1 rave the storm he well knew awaited his return, out, being corfi dert Ids innocence would be estab lished after the storm bad pasted, he did not hesitate. Eugene's father was moio deter mined than ever that she should wed Frank Wilson. He was deaf to her entreaties and the time for the cere monies was set, about two w eks af DA WSOX, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 1. ISIS. ’ t r the time when Henry would te j turn. The news tha f H-nry Stanton, the 1 defau’ter, was retaining very tieh caused quite a flutter in the city. His friends telegraphed *>, him that the hank officials were in ending to arrest him on his return, and Henry Stant on, undecided wltac course to pursue, did not g > direct to Cincinnati, hut i went to Columbus to consult with a i college friend, who was at the time an able and influential lawyer. Hen ry relating his ease soon enlisted the lawyer’s sympathies. “Titere’s one thing, Mr. Stanton,’ said Mr. Carpenter, the lawyer, “that is essential in this case; money, and i plen y oi it. too.” Henry carelessly threw down a check for 5—5,000,- and n marked : “There’s enough for presen pmpoa i es.” | A de.ec'ive was immediately called, i and in a few minutes understood the situation. He asked Mr. Stanton; “YVho was connected with tho hank when the default wa3 discovered ?” ‘Assistant-Willson, and an office, hoy.” answered Stanton. “How old was the hoy?” “About 18 years ” “Can you tell what month and week the etror in your account oc cur ted?” again inquired the detei ttve. ‘'Tlse last week in January.” It was agreed that Mr Stanton should return to Cincinnati ..ud he j placed unf er arrest, and then hail himself out. He was then to tele ! graph to the detective, who was to ; tepair to Cincinnati, and, in the guise of a finan' ial reporter, examine the bank lv oks. According to agreement, Mr. San ! ton took tho train for Cincinnati, and registered his name at one at the piinoipai hotels in tfie city, and then sent his card to the hank. He took a newspaper and sat down to await the result. He did not have long to wait, for within half an hour lie was arrested, waived examination, and his bonds were put at five thousand dollars, which he deposited and was set free. He sent a dispatch to tfie detective, who came on the midnight train. On the following morning Mr. Stanton was apprised of his son’s re turn. The old gentleman forgot his belief in Henry’s guil', and rushed out 'o find him. Henry was consulting with the de tective, who had just made an ex>tm amination of the bank accounts, when his father came. They met each other cordially, and Honry told his father ho ha t come buck o prove his innocence, and re'ated his plans.— His lathe- hoped for the best, hut seemed doubtful, hr. Stanton was convinced of his sons innocence, and offered him money to any amount, which l.e declined ; and he also refu sed to return home till his innocence was fully established, and preterud re maining at the hotel. Fie frequently met the de ective, at each occasion iu different disguise, but all lie could got out of him was that he had a hard case, hut hoped to make some thing out hofore his trial. Henrv had not seen E'igpne since his return, hut had received her words of encouragement and hope Sh<? was to he m..rned to Frank V* ilson on the same day on which his trial was to take place, and Iler.ry off red the deteedve 81,000 to delay the marriage until after the trial, but he consideied this impossible. Henry Stanton soemed convinced that his case was hopeloss, and was temp'ed to give up in diepair. At length the day of his trial came and the court room was fitkd to its utmost capacity. In another houst Eugene stood, rnech-.nica ly obeying the directions of het dressing-maids, her young h<*art dumb with avguish, her face bloodless and lips parted as if to cy out in the agony of her soul: Will tin one savo me?” Yes, thoie is one to save—Justice At last.” Every voice was hushed when Hen ry Stanton entered the plea of “N >t Guilty.” The testimony on the part of the prosecution was strong for his con viction, while the defendant introdu tied but few witnesses, and these only testified to his good character. Cum victioo seemed inevitable. Counsel for defendant deman led that the office boy and the books, and the bank should be brought to the court-room. An c.ffieer was dispatched tor, and brought them in. Mr. Car penter look the books, and turned to the cashier’s account in the last week in Januray thee yea~s previous; asked the boy where lie was on the morn ing of such a date; boy answered in the bank with Assitance Cashier Wil son ; counsel again asked what the assistance was doing boy said assist ance was looking through the ac counts of Henry 6iau'on of the day before. Mr. Carpenter passed over to the jury and handed them the open hank \ hooks, and told them to examine A 1 cert tin entry in each book, at the same time handing a powerful ruagni fying gloss. Great excitement pre- . vailed among the jurors. Mr. Car- j penter made a powerful speech in Henry’s favor, and euded by charging j Frank VVib ou with changing Stauion’s j eccounts. Th" j„ry brought up the veidict of not guilty- An officer with a warrant was dispatched for W ilsou. Henry was surrounded by friends who had returned to again enjoy the sunlight of his returning prosperity Auoth r se ne—a bride at the alter responces had been given and '.be clergyman was about to piouoU' co tho twain one ; an officer steps quick ly forward places a pair of handcuffs oti Frank Wilson's wrists, and Eugene is saved by “Justice otlast.” In conclusion wo nmv add that Henry Stanton was satisfied with the result of his trial, as it not only estab lished his innocence hut showed him the value and filolity of that sweet little woman whom lie now calls by tho eedeating title of wife. Drowned by si Dog. About seven o’clock last evening, Michael McCormick, by occupiliu an express driver, todo his hoise to tho i bar in tho bend of the river, above I Indianapgju arid St. Louis Railroad bridge. After taking the animal into the water enu washing it, ho hitched it to a hush on tlio hank and went swimming. Ho was in company with Mr Baldwin and hia son, who re mained near the shore. They obser ved that McCormick’s large hull dug, which was bathing with its master, kept sportively climbing upon him as lie swam, thus pushing him under the water. 'They start, and towaid him, hut he threw the dog off, and when they called to know if ho wanted help he shook his heal. They then star ted to swim hack, hut when they looked soon af.erwa’d, the dog was on McCormick again, and before they could assist him’hesnnk and drowned. The body was recovered by the use of a seine, some time later, and an inquest on the remains was field by Coroner Boston, tne result of which was a verdict in accordanee with the above statement. McCormick was fifty-five years old and had lived bote a long time. Ilis death took placo very near the place where his wife was drowned a few years ago. Ho leaves four grown children —Terre Haute Express. Serious Uharoe Aaivst a Clergy man.— A Wheeling (West Virginia) dispatch to the New York World says: “About a week ago a man, said to bo a traveling clergyman, by the name of Jacob Shiltner, stopped at house of Edward Baldwin, in Wabster county, West Virginia, and diked and was pet nutted to stay ail night. IT left early next mot tong, and it is alledgod that a little daughter of Baldwin’s, only six years <d 1, was found to have been assaulted a'd threatened death if sh<* toll tho ctiute. A war rant was issued for Shtltoer’s arrest, and he was pursued by the authoi i ties and captured, and, afipr at tempt to lynch, was placed in jai' to await his tiial in B“ptemoer. The proofs of his guilt are said to he con clusive. Shiltner is from Kentucky, and icported to belong to the Metho dist Church.” Here is a snake story from the Can ton Cherolcee Georgian- We give it in lull, simply prefacing it wi’fT tho re ntal k that the Georgian is an inde pendent journal of the Seventh (Jon gr ssional district, and goes it strong for Felton: “A young man n me! J?onny, while out hunting his steers, hare foo*, tho other day, stepped on the head of a large rattlesnake He had his heel on th ) snake’s he-d, and, being afraid to move, did not know what to do for sometime, while the hideous thins; watt writhing and squirmi’ g and vigorously lashing the youth’s legs.

Trant, thirteen yoa-s old, accompanied by her Lrotlier of eight years, was going through i the woods to a neighboring house a few miles from Vancouver, when they encountered a big door in the path, which for some reason showed fight, j A setter dog which they bad with I them took the doer by tbr nose and penned it po the ground. The girl took the boy’s pocket knife and cut its jugular, which ended its career, and with other assistance the venison was caniud home in triumph.” For a rich man to make a will that will please all bis heirs, is about as difficult a task as for an editor to un dertake to print a newspaper that wilj please all his readets.

VO TANARUS, X4.-NO. 22- An Ov Attacked l>j an Army of Alligators ami tvilli-c!. The Floridian has been furnished by an eye-witness with the interest ing details of a strange oncouuter, I which occured last week at Like Jack son about five miles from Tallahassee An ox wont itro the Eke to drink, when he was attacked by an alligator whose mouth closed on the fore-leg of the animal' crushing tho bone, as is supposed by the witness, since he | noticed the steer hd no use of the limb. When struck, tho ox started immediately out of the wa'er, drag ging the alligator with him. Enraged with pain, the poor beast routed and plunged wihilv endeavoring to horn his antagonist. Meantime tho edge, of the lake was black with the snouts of alligators, they having smelt the blood which ran from the ox when first stiuek in the water. Four or five of the monsters crawled out, and with j widely open mauths started to the at tack. Meantime the ox had succoed ed in loo9>'nitig tho holt of Lis an tag-! otiist, and smarting ttadar the wound j received, wo it in liith infuri ated urdoi to the assault of the rein forced assailant. He caught one of tho alligators on his horns and throw him high in the air, tho clumsy thing falling heavily to the ground where it remained thoroughly stunned by r .h<> stuck another was tossed lar into tho lake, hut tho galantox by his zeal to conquer his adversaries was by a false manoeuvre again in tho water, in which element his activity was im peded and being surrounded by his foes, one of which caught him by the nose and pulled his head uuder tho water, he soou fell a victim by drown ing. (‘heap Money What We Want. The Nashville American gives the following letter from *ne of the lead ing merchants of that city: “Dear Sir- You are right. The greatest and, in my estimation, the be. t feature of tho State hank scheme is cheap money. What the farmers, manufactures and mechanics want is not only n ahund mce of money , but clump money. They want and Yiood a bank ti nt will do business 1 port the oW aysteu, that for.fared arid sustained ail the producing indns ries of tho State. They want an institution tltit will give them families lor nutting evety acre of land under cultivation and every wheel in motion. Give the launeis means to pay their hands promply every Saturday night until the drops are gathered, and you will hear no more of “farming on shares” or of unmanageable labor. The great producing classes never have been nor ever will ho assisted in this way by national hank monopolists, Tin y can not give the collaterals required, and if they could the rale of intorest is too high and tho lean too shoit to do them any good Givo us cheap moUry —money so cheap that all in dustrious men can infely borrow.” The Albany Advertiser: “O.i Thurs day night of last week a young gentle man employed at tiie Albany Variety Works, wont down to the river bank, near the brick yard, to take a bath. Alter bathing he sat upon a rock near the water’s edge to nnj'-y the breeze. Hearing font steps above, ho looked up and sa v a negro woman cast som ithing into the river.

He stumb'e.l and fell, however, and the wretch made good her r.-etpo, dodging her pursuer among the houses on ‘Slick Ilill.” The cries of the child indicated that it had not heeu long in this world, and the young man is of the opinion that it <vas a white child, nd that the colored woman had been employed to put it out of tha wav.” A parrot belongr g to a Sin F.an ciso.in atiimyo ’by its persistent chat tering and screaming, a lodger on the upper flvor of the same house, whc> being a director of a faro bank, de sired to sleep by day.
