Reported Shooting of the Sheriff of Warren County, —lt was reported in thecity Wednesday, that the Sheriff of War ren county was shot a few days since with squirrel shot and siighlly wounded. The names of the party or parties who did the shooting, or any of the circumstances at tending it, wo have been unable to learn; j but give the rumor fjr what it is worth An Kxtuf.mely Melancholy Occur rence. —The following melancholy occur- ; re-nce is related by the Edgefield (S. C.) Advertiser of Wednesday: On Saturday afternoon la <t, there hap pen' and an affair in our section which should stand forever, in the memory of all, as a most solemn warning against the too free ue ot ardent spirits. An affair in which two intimate friends, both under the in flui-nee of liquor, fell'to quarreling, and the one shot and killed the other. Tnc actors in this most melancholy scene were Dr. William T. West, of Liberty Mill, and Dr. Thomas If. Patterson, living eight or nine miles below the village. Dr. West w.i- the victim, and he is now lying in a bloody grave. On his way from Augusta lie topped at Dr. Patterson’s residence for am 1 ' .rly visit and friendly chat. The two it; t. drank together, quarreled and fought; and the result was as wc have •Ltu and above. Dr. West lived until biun day, and fieely forgave the unfortunate man who hud taken his> life. Neither one could remember what they had quarreled about. Dr West was a highly respectable and peaceable citizen; Dr. Patterson no less so. The many friends of these families i are filled with gloom at this lamentable occurrence." A Novel Way to Pay Board.— About ten days ago a gentleman of pleasing per sonal appearance, elegant manners, and clad in the latest and most fashionable style of clothing, arrived in this city from Sa vannah. lie appeared to have plenty o* money, put up at an expensive boarding house, had a fancy for fine horse-flesh, and, to use a slang phrase, splurged very heavily. The gay young man seemed par ticularly anxious to purchase ahorse, and was frequently soon driving one of the crack teams us the city through the streets, test ing its powers, with a view to purchase. After sev.-ral trials, ho seemed satisfied, and entered into negotiations to transfer the animal into his own possession. The price asked by its owner was a "steep” one, but not steep enough to bluff this ardent admirer of what Youatt terms the "noble quadruped." There was but one difficulty in tho way ;it would bo inconve nient to me tin- funds lie had with him in this way -would not the owner accept a draft on Savannah? The owner felt a lit tle suspicion-, and would not close until he could hear from that city regarding the paper. The answer received to his inquiry was far from favorable, and the trade was at once broken oil'. About this time the gay young strati- j ger, finding himself under the surveillance of the myrmidons of the law, began to j think of aebange of base; and, according ly, two or throe days ago ho left lor parts j unknown. Now conies the richest part of j the story. When the fellow first engaged hoard cud lodgings, instead of paying for the same lie told his landlady that lie had a large amount of money in liis possession, did not think it safe to keep it on his per sou and asked her to take charge of it, vying that when he left she could take her board bill from this. The hostess consent ing. he gave her a carefully scaled package on the outside of which was marked $7 800. Although he left rather suddenly the lady felt no uneasiness—had she not this pack ice containing $7,800 in her possession? After a couple of days had passed, how i ver, without his return, she began to fear so u 'thing had happened to him and con (slud. and that she ha 1 better open the parcel ud take the amount due her. Witnesses were i.died in, the package opened, and what does the reader suppose it contained? Instead of $7,800 there was a bundle of old newspaper slips and two one thousand dollar bills outlie Ruthairon Bank. On this disastrous revelation there was a deep drawn breath, a lengthened face and-- nothing more. But we would -ay to the ' mysterious stranger" thatifover he trusts himself within reach of that landlady's broomstick again he had better look cut for squalls. Tim Sc a iaw aos Plotting.—Although j the mongrels of the city have kept so quiet and beeuso submissive since tlvir terrible rout ou the second ot this month and the flight of their leader, the Little lVrjurer, to Washington, it must not bo imagined that they have ceased plotting to get eoutrol once more of the city government. While loud in their protestations of support to the present ad miuistratiou, they are secretly conspiring its overthrow. And what makes the mat ter assvet even a blacker shade, is the fact, tbs; ne of these conspirators are men wh .J office uuder the military eounci'. Kao been allowed to remain in their | v.-i : s by the present one, and while eating the bread of the city are hatching a scheme by means of which they think to rcs'ore it to the control of the corrupt aud unprincipled body who have for so louga time had it in possession. During the past few days large uumbers of negroes, we are informed on the best authority, have been taken into the office of Stallings, the keeper of the Bridge, for the purpose of signing a eertaiu petition, kept therein and which is most jealously concealed from the sight of the uninitiated. The notorious liadieal negro generally known as the “spread eagle, has been seen working with more than usual activity and on lust Tuesday carried over fifty of his race into this place to sign the petition. Both on yesterday and to-day the same operation has been repeated ; and it is said that not only negroes fiorn this State have been taken in there, but also many from across the river. What the nature of this document is we are unable to state positively; but it is no difficult matter to tell,from the place in which it is gotten up aud the men who are engaged in getting it up, that it can be nothing less than to get the State aud city back under military government. How they expect to succeed in such a silly and absurd plan is more than we can iuiagiue, but that such is their object there can be but little doub Consumption of Liquor ky Retail.— The Special Revenue Commissioner re ports that the amount paid in the Doited States by the consumers of spirits reaches the sum of $1,483,491,865 The return is compiled from the statements, under oath, of the dealers, for the purpose of taxation and is therefore not likely to be overestimated ! In Now York. $248,617,- 250 were paid; in Pennsylvania, $152,683,- 425; in Ohio, $151,781,875, and in Illinois, $119,933,945.

It wall be remembered Mr. Dalton was relieved of about SIO,OOO by a party who remained over night at his house,who abused his hospitality by steal ing his money. The Atlanta Intelligencer of Friday in-, forms us that Captain Tim Murphey, of the Atlanta police, has been in communi cation for several days with Mr. Dalton. Thursday, some five or six miles from At lanta, arrests were made of two individuals upon whom suspicion had rested. One of them--named Sims—we learn, had con fessed to his complicity in the matter. The Intelligencer refrains, for the present, giv ing other important particulars ot this im portant capture,as it is hoped others impli cated may also be secured. The prisoners left Thursday evening on the tram for this city- A Joke on a Country Cousin.— A vis itor to the city from Hancock was much please 1 with the new sign just put up by Messrs. F. A. Brahe & CM., over tho door of their new jewelry establishment, cor ner of Broad and Mclntosh streets. “206 Waiohos,” reads the delegate lrom Han cock; “what a lot of ’em—hot then if he were to sell some his sign would be all wrong again." T he Courts. United States Commissioner’s Court.—Before Commissioner Davis. —The United States vs. Isaac C. Wil liams, charged with passing counterfeit money. This case was called for trial yes terday morning before United States Com missioner Davis—'the old warrant against the prisoner having been dismissed and he rearrested, on anew one by the U. S. Mar shal. The first witness called was Mr. J. C. Beane, an officer of the National Bank. He examined the bill which was passed by McAnauy on Friday night last and pro nounced it a counterfeit on the St. Nicho las National Bank of New York. The genuine bills of that bank are good; lie could not swear that he had seen a bill on that bank of this denomination. To the best of my knowledge there is such a bank as the one mentioned; have often seen its issues. This bank, 1 think, lias been es tablished sor 0 years. This bill is dated July, 1865. 1 believe there was such a bank at that time. All bills of that de nomination are alike, with a slight differ one ■. (Pointed this out ) lam sure the banks do not engrave their own plates. The piate on this one is not genuine. The Government engraves the bills and fur nishes them to the banks. .John Cannon sworn I identify this bill (thecounterfeit) as the same one passed on me. I recognize this man (McAnany) as the man who passed it. The bill was tendered oil lust Friday. This money was tendered ’o Mr. McElrath, not to uic. The same man passed a similar bill on my self the Wednesday preceding. On Fri day night, the bill was not passed on me nor in my presence; but it was passed upon Mr. McElrath. Mr. Pit qiict, Counsel for the prisoner, contended Lliat the witness could only state what he knew of his own knowledge. Witness —The prisoner did not deny the act when Mr. M. and myself charged him with it. Mr. M. and myself had him ar rested. The counterfeit has been in my possession nearly all the time since lie was arrested. This is the bill he tendered. I received this bill from Mr. McElrath, not M aeanany Frank Macanany sworn. —I don’t know that lam at all interested in the case. Do nor expect to derive any benefit from the testimony I give. Do not know whether I will be prosecuted or not. Mr. Picquet said the witness could not testily if at, interested party, and read au thority to sustain him. The Court decided the evidence ad missible. Witness —I passed this bill. I received it from Williams, who stood outside the store on th ■ sidewalk. He gave me one of these bills on that night. He has given me several of these bills at different times. I weut to the store to purchase a pair of socks. The socks cost twenty-five cents. Williams wanted the bill changed. He told me it was counterfeit before I went in tho store. I have seen him with a good many of these bills—one hundred similar to this. A package of counterfeit money was here produced. Witness said it was a parcel ot counterfeit money which he had seen in Williams’ hands. I have been in 1 Augusta about two weeks. 1 came here from Savannah with Williams. Boarded j here with him. I know that Williams j knew this money was counterfeit, ile ! made it his business to pass these bills 1 That was his object in co ring here. I was in Savannah with him for two months, lie passed similar money in Savannah. There was one other person in Savannah j engaged in this business through Williams’ j instigation. 1 cannot give his name. He ! was a white man—an Italian, called John. 1 was boarding in town with Williams, at Sirs. Burns’, on Bridge Row. I occupied j the same room with him for two weeks. Gross Examined. — l saw Williams in Savannah about two months before we came here. Saw him every week in Sa vannah before we earns here. We came in a boat from there. Its name was. the I Swan, l think. Ido not know the name of the Commander or any oneelseon board her except Williams. My fare was $4 ; Williams’the same. We went on beard about 11 o’clock on a Wednesday morn ing. Arrived here on the Friday follow ing. I have been here ever since. Williams j has been here the same length of time. We boarded at Mrs. Burns’. This pack age of money is the one 1 saw Williams have. It. contaius counterfeit money ; i about $l5O or 52 Saw it with him , this day week. He had it in the country, one mile from Augusta. He had it when : he came back to town. When he came back he hid it on the premises at Mrs. Burns’. It was well hid. I was not with hint when he hid it; he told me be was going to hide it there; the only way I knew it was there was Wil liams telling it to me ; I saw him go to the hiding place with it; was standing within a few feet of where he hid it; he did not tell me where he was going to put it before he hid it: I went in there that night and found it ; I pointed it out to the police ; two officers were with roe (identified one who was iu Court); had some difficulty in tindmg it; had to search some time ; it was hid some nine or ten feet above the floor on a scantling laid across the ceiling; Williams is a sharp, cunning fellow; Ido not know mueh about him ; VV iiliams did not tell me that these bills were good; he gave them to me as counterfeit; I have spent more than one of them here ; he gave me more than two; a good many of them; gave me all ot a hundred ; when I went in Mr. MeElrath’s store he knew it was not a good bill; I had when arrested sls or sl6 in good money; had hut one counterieit that time ; L had no carpet saek here ; bad no clothes except what I had on my back ; l had no clothes in Williams' possession ; I bought socks, paper collars and tobacco with the counterfeit money ; l deposited these good* with Williams; Williams kept them at Mrs. Burns'; l gave Wall the good money I received in change for the bad bills; Williams paid the fare on the steamboat; paid some of it in counterfeit money ; I know that he had a largo amount of this money iu his possession ; when we wont in the country he took all of this money he had with him ; I went with the officers who arrested him; I did state that IV. paid his own fare on the Swan, and mine also . I came to Augusta at \\’s in stigation ; I did say before that each paid his own tare, but Williams gave me #9 to pay it with ; the bills he gave me for this purpose were of the denomination of 25 aud 50 cents and $1 and $2 ; Ido not know the amount of each. The amount was $9. Mrs. Burns sworn. —l know Williams and Meauany ; [they came to my house one Friday aud were arrested on the next ; I did not know they were counterfeiters'; thought they were telegraph operators; did not see them with any of this money ; 1 know nothing of them except that they were brought to my house by Mr. MeCau ; Williams paid for their board. Court here adjourned til! three o’clock, when it met again. Officer King sworn. ! The reporter arrived too late for the first part of his testimony ; but it was unim j portant. merely showing that he was pres -1 eut when Mooaany was brought iD, and ! there was no counterfeit money disoover !od on bis person. The following is the latter par* ot his testimony : l went with Meanany after his arrest to Mrs. Burns’ ; found the money in the place described ; found the same package in Williams' earpet , bag; both the prisoners denied having anything to do with the matter when first arresied ; Williams was arrested on the 11th of December about 11 o’clock P. M ; M aeanany was arres'ed by one of the watch men ; I arrested Williams; I saw the counterfeit bill that night; took a de scription of it ; I found counterfeit money ■on Williams’ person ; I have long had experience in these matters ; in my opin ion both of these men are guilty of passing counterfeit money. Mr. Walsh endorsed Mr. King’s test! , mony as far as he knew. The defence called Mr. J. A. Brenner, who testified to the previous good char acter of the aceusc-d. Messrs. Rhodes and Miller testified to the same thing. At this stage of the trial thfe United States Marshal requested Meanany be turned over to his custody for an hour, which was granted. The defence here closed and the Court adjourned til! 11 o’clock tc-morrow morning. Unit, i» States Commissioner's Court —Before Commissioner Davis. —The case of the United States against Isaac C. Williams, charged with passing counter feit money. Continued from yesterday ; John McElrath sworn.— Beingshown the bill he testified : I had a bill of this kind in my possession ; it is a similar bill to the j one passed on me on the 11th of this month ; I suspected it was counterfeit be cause my clerk, Mr. Cannon, had received one like it a few day&l>efore and called my attention to it; I recognize Meanany as the man who gave me the bill ; on his ! presenting the money I sent for Mr. Can -1 non to see if he recognized him as the man j who had come there before; Cannon iden tified him, and w« then had him arrested j by a nightwatebman; I had no means of | knowing the bill by the number, but I identify it as the same ora similar one; ail of my testimony refers to Meanany; I ; never saw Williams. ; The defence here closed and Mr. Picquet made a short but able argument against i committing Williams with such insuffi cient testimony against him. On its conclusion tho Commissioner an nounced that, in default of §5.000 Tail, he would commit the prisoner and have him sent to Savannah for another examination thereon Monday, as he had good reason to believe that he was a member of a regular ly organized band of couutei feiters, who had their headquarters in New' York, with ramifications extending to Charleston, Sa van nail and this city, and he w y as anxious to have the matter thoroughly sifted. Move in the Right Direction.—Al_ derman Allen introduced an ordiuance Friday night at the meeting of Council, which we are sure will meet the approval of a large majority of our citizens. The ordinance in question, provides for the transfer of the institution known to the city government as the “chair-gang,” from the control of i\iie Street Committee to that of the Police Committee, to which it more properly belongs. It abolishes the office of Superintendent with its annual salary of twelve hundred dollars and places the convicts under the charge of a police officer detailed for this purpose. The prisoners will labor on such public works of the city as the Mayor or Street Committee may, in their judgment, deem most suitable; and on returning to their quarters at night the officer iu charge is required to make a full report of the nature and amount of their day’s labor. In this manner it provides for tho much greater efficiency of tho convicts, with a large reduction from their former expen ses. It was gratifying to see the action of Council on this wise and beneficial mea sure; meeting with a hearty second from Alderman Jackson and passing 'w'ithouta dissenting voice. The New Postoffice.— Several months ago it was determined to remove the Post ofiice from the present unsightly building used for that purpose, to the new and beautiful edifice lately erected by Mr. W. B. Griffin, on the southwest corner of Ellis and Jackson streets. The whole of the first floor, used for a few months by its owner as a store-room for the sale of goods on commission, was leased by the Government and work commenced im mediately to prepare it for occupation by the first of the ensuing year. Tho eoutract for tho necessary repairs was awarded to Mr. M. G. Dunne, who has reflected great credit on liis skill, as a workman, by the way in which it has been performed. As the subject is one of interest to our citizens tho following brief description of the im provements made may not prove unin teresting : The total length of the first floor is about .sixty-eight feet; its breath about thirty-one feet. In the front part of this is placed the main office—thirty-four lcet long and twenty-four feet broad. The front is of a circular form and is placed ten feet from tho front door, opening on Jackson street, leaving that space vac nt for visitors. Tho counter, which follows the form of the front, is three feet in height. From the top of the counter to the ceiling, twelve feet, is enclosed in glass sashes with a transom surmounting to facilitate ventilation—these sashes also forming tho front of the glass boxes, which are three hundred and ninety-nine in number. In this front aro three “win dows” fifteen inches square. The one on the left of the eutrance is the ladies’ de livery ; the centre one is the “stamp window”—used for tLe sale of stamps— while the third is what is known as the ■‘General Delivery.” To tho right of this, extending along tho north side, are tho key-boxes, four hundred and ten in num ber—so many of them having been con structed in order to give persons, in moderate circumstances, an oppor tunity to ’secure one of tbeso great conveniences. Still further to tho north of these is placed a counter aud window for the delivery and registration of registered letters. West of the key boxes is a private office. 18 feet square—de signed for tho Postmaster and the Deputy —fitted up with half glass doors and sides. Inside the main office are arranged desks, drawers, a circular newspaper delivery case, two letter delive-y cases, depository boxes and all tho other conveniences known to tho modern postal service, for the speedy and accurate delivery of mail matter. fn the extreme rear of tiro building are : two rooms, one 16 feet by 12 in size, to be used as a sleeping oflice by the nigbt clerks; the other, a largo apartment in tended merely as a lumber room. Anew door has also been cut ou tiie Ellis street entrance, with arch, etc., to correspond with the others. The whole of the wood work and the sashes havo been neatly . painted; the lattor a plain white, the form er an oak color aud grained. A railing ! has been placed iu front of the General Delivery to prevent crowding; and ictter ooxes placed at each end of the circular front. Four large bronze chandeliers, placed at intervals along the whole length of the building, give ample light to the different compartments. The oflice will be opened ou Christmas day and our city cau then boast one of the handsomest postotfiees in the State. A change hai been long needed aud we con gratulate the people that it will so soon take place. Hos. A. 11. Stephens.—Our brethren of the press have been laboring under a misapprehension, and generally have as signed this gentleman to tliechuirof Belles Lettras in the State University. This is a mistHKe. Mr. Stephens has been called to aud has accepted, the newly created chair of “History," for which, by life-long study and practiced experience iu our section, bo is so well fitted.

Mr. Prontaut has just returned from a visit to France, and has imported direct from Paris a large aud elegant assortment of jewelry, watches, silver ware, em bracing the latest aud most pleasing Paris ian novelties.

New ()RLEANS„Decemberl9, p. m.—The steamer Havana , or Maranon , is again in trouble, the Collector having threatened a seizure on the ground of a violation of the law, in not exl ibiting the proper pa pers when called for, and chat the change of flag was irregular. The facts relative to the matter are tiiese: The vessel was purchased in New York by the Peruvian Government, the owners contracting to de liver at Southwest Pass, or wherever tho Peruviau monitors might be. Upon the arrival at Southwest Pass the transfer was made, and the Peruvian flag hoisted, the former Captain remaining as sailing mas ter. Her American register was sent to New York for cancellation. Senor Garcea has been notified by the former owner that the register was cancelled. It was not intended to bring the vessel to this city, but while lying in Southwest Pass repairs to the machinery became necessa ry, aud she came here under the Peruvian flag. She lias since been a victim to con tin ur and misfortune,having caused a misun derstanding between Minister Garcea and Collector Fuller. Yesterday the Custom officer boai ded the Havana , and demanded to see her papers. The Captain replied that the vessel belonged to the Peruvian navy, and he had no papers to exhibit and refer red the officer to Minister Garcea The lat ter has received no communication in reference to the matter, though he noti fied the customs authorities that the Ha vana belonged to his Government and of his readiness to answer any charge at tached to her. The whole trouble origin ated In her coming here and had she re mained at Southwest Pass no notice would have been taken of her. Collector Fuller states that charges have been made against the vessel of a viola tion of the law; amongst others that pow der has been landed from her in the night and the law compelled him to seize her unless the papers produced were fouud regular. lie, however, has referred the matter to the authorities in Whington, and will t ike no further steps unless upon ad vices from thero. The vessel’s Manifest states that she cleared for Southwest Pass, New Orleans. The steamer Era, No. 10, sunk in Red Riyer on the 17th, with 886 bales of cotton onboard. No lives were lost. A portion of the cargo was saved. To-night Secretary McCulloch telegraph ed Collector Fuller to he governed by sec tion sixty of the act of 1799, and informed him that Secretary Seward had charge of the question of non-compliance to laws by the Peruvians. It is stated that Collector Fuller has ordered the Revenue Cutter Wilderness to intercept the Maranon should she attempt to go to sea without authority from tho Custom House. Twenty-eight officers and a crew for the Peruvian fleet arrived last night. Tho monitor is still lying at the mouth of the river. Mobile Races.

Presidential Piety. What Presidents Hare Been Pious — Statements qf a Boston Correspondent Only One Piovs President. The New York correspondent of a Bos ton paper says: “The fact that Genera) Grant passed a Sabbath at West Point and did cot attend church, though the post chaplain officia ted near him, has been commented on by the press generally. It is somewhat a singular fact that, as far as it is known, no President of the United States, since the days of Washington, has been a commu nicant in a church. John Adams was the representative of the liberal community of his day. Jefferson was styled a tree thinker. An attempt was made, when Jefferson was a young man, to make the Episcopal Church the established religion of A irginia. John Leland, a travelling Baptist minister, preached a sermon in the presence of Jefferson on what he called the 'incestuous connection of tbe church and state.' This sermon converted Jefferson to that doctrine. His persistent opposi tion to a state religion caused him to be stigmatized as an iutidel. Mrs. Madison was a communicant of the Episcopal Church. Her husband was not. Monroe was a member of an Episcopal parish, but not a communicant. John Quincy Adams, although a member of a Unitarian parish in Massachusetts, held a pew in the Second Presbyterian Church in Washington, of which he was a trustee, and there he wor shipped until his death. In a violent snow storm I saw him walking to church, one Sunday, with the snow up to his loins, and he was one of the seven persons who composed the congregation that morning. He never communed in the church. General Jackson was a singular attend ant on Sunday morning. lie worshipped in the Second Presbyterian Church until his quarrel with the pastor about Mrs. Hester. He then left for the Four-and-a half street church, and took his Cabinet with him. He always came early and entered his pew, which was on the right side of the church as he entered. Earnest and devout attention he gave to the ser mon. It was his custom, at the close of the sermon, to rise in his pew and make a very courteous bow to the minister, and then walk out, the audience waiting iu their pews tili he had reached the vesti bule. Van Buren’s home church at Kin derbrook was reformed Dutch. At Wash ington, when he went to church, be at tended St. John’s (Episcopal) in the morn ing. Mrs. Polk was a devout and Chris tian woman, belonging to the Presbyterian Chureh. “Mr. Polk accompanied his family every Sunday morning to the Four and-a-half street church. Mrs. Polk usually attend ed the Second Presbyterian Church in the afternoon, where she held a pew. The President seldom accompanied her at the second service. “General Taylor was not a proses or of religion. When he attended chureh he sat in the President’s pew at St. John’s. President Pierce was a member of the Congregational Society, in Concord, N. II , but not of the church. He was very regu lar iu his attendance at the Presbyterian church on F street, near the White House. This was his religious home dur ing his long Senatorial life. He was not a member of the church. Hecame to worship usually on foot and unattended. His pew was on the side, about two-thirds of the way from the door. He usually walked up the aisle with a cat-like step, went to the extreme end of the pew, curled himself up in the corner, and seldom moved till the service closed, lie rarely spoke to any one, and hastened from the church to the White House. Mrs. Lincoln was a com municant at the New York Avenue Presby terian Church. Mr. Lincoln was not. But he was a regularaattendaut at worship.— Johnson seems to have no religious home, but rather inclined to the Lutheran. Gen. Grant is not a professor of religion. lie is a trustee of the National Methodist Church at Washington, and is a frequent attendant on the preaching of that Chureh. Romantic History of one of Tom Ben ton’s daughters. San FrancisColCorrespondence Chicago Tribune. Let me tell you something about one of the school teachers of San Francisco, by way of illustrating the manner in which fortune frolics with human nature and makes shuttlecocks of poor humanity. Among the teachers is an elderly lady— the mother of five interesting children. She was born in one of the Western States, and was tbe first born of one of the most distinguished Senators who ever sat in the legislative halls of the United States. In her young days she was the belle of Wash ington City, carrying away the palm from the dark eyed daughters of the South and the rosy-cheeked damsels cf the North. She gave her love to a young gentleman— then a clerk in one of the offices in Wash ington. Her father knew the youth and recognized his great abilities, and when he solicited the daughter’s hand it was cheer fully given. The wedding was a brilliant one, many of the great men of the country being present to wish them joy and cheer them at the commencement of their do mestic voyage. The young husband was shortly afterward admitted to the bar of the United States Supreme Court, and was soon recognized as one of the most promising members. For many years he practiced his profession with great suc cess, and was on the high road to fame and wealth. Then came the discovery of gold in California, and the consequent rush of emigrants to the new El Dorado. Among those who determined upon going to California was the husband. He con sulted with his wife, and she, like a true woman, declared her intention of accom panying him. _ Together they came to California, where the husband soon took a leaditig position at the bar, and amassed a fortune. The people he associated with were from the South, and like many others he began to drink to excess. When the rebellion broke out he cast his sympathies with the South. His brother-in-law went with the North, and hecame a Major-General. He had to give up the practice of his profes sion because he could not take the oath required by our Legislature. Oat of busi ness, he drank heavily, and soon began to mortgage his property. Six years passed away, and he died, leaving his widow with one child without a dollar. The noble woman immediately took in sewing to earn her living, Out found that she could hard ly keep soul and body together by that means. Some friends of her father and husband offered to aid and assist her, but she would receive nothing so long as she could help herself. She, however, would be thanful for assistance in procuring her a \ position as teacher its one of the public 1 sohuois. Application was made, and some : of the school directors opposed her at) pointment because hey dead, husband was j a secessionist. They knew her husband in his lifetime, and had felt the lash of his 1 bitter tongue, and therefore desired to harm his widow. Their efforts, however, j were unavailing. She was appointed, and i is now engaged in the public school depart ment of this city, teaching a primary class. A sad change in the fortunes of crs3 who started};; life with such brilliant prospects. Furs.—Fur fashions is now the topic of interest since the wind begins to hurl itself so furiously round the corners, and those who have to purchase will be glad to learn - that they are twenty five percent, lower • than they were last year. Round ermine muff's are 522 to $35 ; the satchel muffs, trimmed with swansdown and chenille tas sels, are $lB to S2O ; the collars from sl3 ; to S3O. Sealskin, now fashionable for morping wear, is rrom S3O to SSO the set, : comprising muff and boa. Gibe muffs have a flap with the head of th.e bird at tached, and down trimming at the sides. They are from S2O to S3O the set.. Mink furs are from S3O to $l4O. The Maine mink, with fur neither so smooth nor fine as the Hudson Bay animal, is still service- ! able and sufficiently genteel, and much ; lower in cost. Persian lambs,the fine gray ; i curled sets with Angola fringes, are worn ! ; for morning, but can hardly bo called pretty, i The Astracan sets —toquet, jacket and ; muff—are really covetable by every one i who wishes to go out much;in cold weather, ! as they have a look of protection and ; warmth that velvets and beaver do not give. The jackets are made to fit into the figure | as much as possible, securing warmth. As tracan jackets are from S4O to $l3O. Sacks ; made from the otter seal are SBO to $360. The newest robes in silk have a taffeta centre to each breadth, with a bouquet of! roses chine in pale lovely colors; each edge of thjs wide satin stripes in color border , the width,interlined with gros grain.giving the effect of enormous sash ribbons on each : side ; the cost per robe is $l5O. Satin decoupe is twilled satin, with velvet flowers i in rather subdued tints scattered on an ash gray ground, with richest effect.

Bruce has accepted the appointment as Home Secre tary. The Daily Telegraph says Gladstone’s : Cabinet is now ready to consider any counter proposals made by the United States. The Telegraph adds, the compe tence of Lord Clarendon to carry out the negotiations is understood. The conces sions made by Lord Stanley are an earnest , of the spirit animating English politicians iin debating with this matter. All that can be honorably granted will be. America 1 can accept no less and desire no more. In the ten paper mills at Holyoke, Mass., about twenty-six tons of paper are manu j factured daily. About four-fifths of this is writing paper ; the remainder collar, en ! velope and tissue. Strange phenomena arc reported in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, at the Kern river.
