A bank check swindle was recently attempted in Harrisburg, Pa., under the following cir- cumstances :—A man named Rankin presented a cneck for €200 on the Second National Bank of Pittsburg. which he wished passed. alieging that be bad a deposit of $20,000 im that oank, and was “just short $200." Reference was re- quired, and a bystander, unknown to the cash- jer, vouched for the truth of the statement. ‘The cashier said he would telegraph, bu: Ran- kin begged be might uot put bim to that ex- pense: he would do so himself. But the cash- ler did telegrapb. and the answer was check fraudulent,” On Sanday the cashier of the Harrisburg bank received a letter from the cashier of tbe Second National Bank of Pitts- burg, in which the following interesting par- agraph occurred :—** During the whole of last week franaulent checks, vatying in amouct from one :housand down to twenty dollars, ‘were drawn on vs in favor of Baltimore mer- chants, by a mau named Kilrain, and this week no fewer than six checks, drawn on us in favor of Philadelphia merchants, were presented to us for payment, these latter checks being all signea Thomas Rankin. I believe that Ran- kin and Kilrain are the same person, for neither of these men bave ever had an :ccount in this bank.” Rankin, alias Kilrain, wae arrested in Harrisburgon Monday. The Telegraph of that lace si . = Mr. J.C.

After hearing the case, Mayor Edwards committed Kilrain to prison, in default of five thousand dollars bail, for a further hearing. THE TEMPERANCE PLEDGE aN) THE PRINCE or WaLxs.—The Philadelphia Ledger says. Among late items of news trom Engiand ie the announcement that the Prince of Wales has taken the temperance pledge. The tact of a young man foregoing, of his own free will, ‘he pleasure of the bottle, snd breaking up the seductive arsecia'ions which peetry, song and false sentiment have thrown Sround tnem, is worthy, at any time, of commemoration and praise.’ Every case of this kind 1s good. in iteelt; it is good also as serving for an example aud encouragement to others to do the like, ‘and thus, the process of imitation going on, a pure and salutary is gradually substituted for @ polluted and noxious moral atmosphere. Bui when a prince royal and heir ap- parent to the throne takes such a boid and decided step in favor of temperance, he will soon be followed by. large numbers of the aristecratic. the fashionable, and the weal:hy, Who would have held back or ridi- culed a similar proceeding bya less di-tin- ed personage. Even though they may nce banish alcobolic liquors from their enterisinments, they will no longer think it necessary t9 procure the most delicately fla- vored or costly wines to offer to the Prince. or to press them on others in his presence. Lt is bot for us to say, though we may conjectare: what has been the direcuy inciting cause of the: present pledge taken by the Prince of Wales.

Miss Wroe, the unfortunate wife “No. 2,” is very bighly connected here, her relations being among Our most inflaential citizens, and she bas the sympathies of a large circle of friends, acquired during a visit to this place abouta yearago.

A short description of the Antietam National Cemetery, which is to be dedicated on the 17th of next month, may not be amiss to your read- ers, Dumbers of whom will doubtless be pres- on that interesting occasion. The enctosures contsin abont ten acres of ground,and incindes in its domains the bill upon which the rebel Gen.

The Nation's heroes are buried in groups by States, Penusytvania leading off to the right of the gate as yon enter the grounds from the road, New York being the first on the left. Theremains of the dead are interred in trenches, which are filled up and raised about A foot and a half above the surface, forming a continuous monnd the entire length of the trench, with the coffins lying side by side, numbering probably six thousand.

Remarkable Fecundity. We brietly stated on Friday last that a Grer- man named John Haettler, living in this city, had, on the previons day, followed tothe grave his thirty-third child, and that he was the father of thirty-eeven children. Since then we have learned some further perticulars of this remarkable case. Haetiler was married three times. His first marriage took place in Ger- mapy when he was twenty-one years of age. ‘With thie wife he had seventeen children. At four successive accouchments, triplets: twice twins, and the last a single birth. Shortly atver the latter event the wife died. He was agam married, and the iseue of the second wife was fifteen children—seven times twins snd the eighth a single child. This wife also died shortly after the last’ birth. His third and present wite has thus tar presented Dim with five children, one at a birth. The sex of the children were nineteen boys ana eighteen girls, only four of whom are now living—bat whetber the living are all sueof the last wife or part of the previous wives, we have not ascertained. Haeffler is now fitty-two years of age, et medium size, and of hardy, vigorous constitution. He lives on what is known as up Factory road, within the city limits. In somé sections of Germany apremium is awarded married people who produce a certain number of children. Haef- fier lived in that section, and was the recipi. ent of one hundred guilders previous to leav- ing. He a) parently labors under the impre: aien that a similar reward awaits bim in this country. If thereis any State in the Union proving for such cases, ‘he authorities bad "ter send along the greenbacke.—Lancaster Express. LARGE SALE Or Norte ROLINA LANDs. RK. W.

We hope this is but the beginning of a large ingress of industrious. enterprising people into the State.—Kaleigh Sentinel. THE CULTIVATION Or Hors.—The Peter: burg Express of Friday refers to the fact that -bop raisipg bas commenced in that quarter of Virginia, and says three bales oe! new hops, the first ever produced in the South for mar- ket, were sent off a few days previous to the New York market. There ie no reason why Virginia should not engage in the production largely - Mr. L. A. Beardsley, who recently pur- chased Kenmore,” in this place, gave us his experience in bop-raising in lowa.

Iu this suit to administer the estate of the late Mr.(. Rob- erts, a question frose as to the validity of a be- q to the President and Vice President of the United States, and the Governor of Penn- sylvanin, of certain stock. which was to be ac- comulated nntil itshould amount to $100,000, and then to be applied by them, together with other property, in endowing a college for the instruction of youth in Peanerivaais, the pro- feseors of which college should «-inculcateand advocate the natural rights of the black peo- ple of every ciime and country until they be restored to equality in elvil rights with their white brethren throughout the Union.” Mr. Wickens, who appeared for the crown, said he was the oniy counsel who was interested in upholding the be- quest, ihe object ef which, he contend- ed. was a charitable one, and therefore valid: a}! the other counsel appeared for the next kin of the deceased. The Vice-Chance! Jor said it appeared that the Americans would not have the gift. W. did the learned coun- sel propose to do with it?! Mr. Wic! id the trust could be carried ut by the conrt. ‘The disclaimer of the trustees did not affect the trust. The Vice-Chancellor said he was ef opinion that one of the objects of the bequest had been accomplished hy the abolition of stav- ery in the United States. The American Gov- ernment would not have th : noney for carry- ing ont the other object of the bequest, viz., the instruction of youth in Penneylvania, and thi Courtcould not eompel the American Govern- ment totake it.

Patrick Malone, parish priest of Belmuilet, writes to a Dublin paper, giving 6n account of an extraordinary convulsion of nature which occurred re within eleven miles o: of a mountain was raised from its bed, and suddenly breaking up into huge fragments, proceeded down the inclined surface, carrying destruction in its course, until it spent its fury in the waters of the Atlantic.” The portion of mountain which broke up contained an area of about forty acres, and though the elevation was not more than one foot in fifteen, the great altitude from which the suvterranean current descended accounts, he thinks, tor the irresistible force which ‘tended it. Hundreds of large fragments. some of them messuring 2,000 cubic feet, are now. Mr. Malone says, to be seen thrown in on either side and strewn upon the undisturbed plain, witbout the appearance of water hav- ing accompanied them tnere. His expii tion of the phenomenon is, that the great grea! drouth of the preceding two months created vacuum between the peat surface and its grav- elly substratum. The heavy fall of rain being Pressed into the cavity produced the eruption. Several families bad a narrow escape of their =. 8ome persons having been carried for- ‘ward a distance on the moving and breaking ground. The bog debris is ecattered over the crops of several poor mer. aroad is blockaded by the fragments, a date cloced up, and a val- ley created “where nothing but a mountain appeared before.” OvzRWORK AWD Overrray are both very rthe world. Men are ruined by each, yetitis very dificult to regulate work and joas to make aneven balance and pre- vent injury tothe mind. The best that can be done, therefore. is to philosophize upon this subject, and this is done ina very clever way by the Sa/urday Review. It says: + Uonsider- ing thatexcessive work, whether in search of riches or of the bubble reputation, is. from every point of view, the crying mischiet of the time, alike fora man’s country and for him- self individually, it would be a waste of words to discuss the nature of a practice which ena- bles bim to carry bis absorption in the task of private aggrandizement beyond even i's pre- sent high and extreme mark. If the age wants oue thing more than another, it is the passage of an eight hours’ bill for men who earn more than a thousand @ year by a profession. A tradex anion of dociors, merchants, lawyers, probibiting over-time, would be the very best Institution that could be desired. Stimulants operate in exactly the opposite way. They are the creat auxiliaries of over-time. They allow man to work over-time to any extent, and in consequence they encourage him to neglectall those minor objects of pursuit by which it fe, above all things, needful for him to temper the heat and narrowness of the one main object of pursuit.” REVIVAL OF Business 1N THESOUTH.—It is pleasant to observe, remarks the New York Post, the continued tendency of northern cap- ital and epierprise to aid in developing the resources of the South.

Woovrn PAVEMENTS In New ORLRAN. The city of New Orleans seems to have com- mitted itself pretty extensively to wooden pavements, which are now being laid in several of the principal thoroughtares. The cost in that region amounts to only one-balf that of stene. A company has taken a contract for the work, and itis rapidly progressing. The N. O Republican cays: This company has erected asaw mill ofits own, a movable affair, to prepare the lumber for the paving. It also has a movable sheet- iron boiler, twenty-eight feet in length, in which to boll coal tar, so that whole planks are boiled in it at once, instead of being m: Fr swept by ® broom with the coal tar. This boller is upon wheels, as well as the sawmill, and is drawn from street tostreet. A movable canopy is also provided for the men to work under, so that sunstrokes will be rare. The curbing of the road (a separate contract) is of large cypress timber. instead ofstone, etc., and it is also soaked in boiling coal tar.

Mr. Clabaugh offered a resolution to pay the bill of Waisch & Lynch, $3 50, for horse-shoeing im March last; which was passed. Mir. Davidson, from the Committee on Harbor and Chantel. offered a resoln- tion authorizing a steam ferry, and re- lating to licensee. which stipulates that the licenses of all business men in the town shall be increased 25 per cent for the purpose of aiding im the support of @ ferry across ‘he Potomac at High street, which to charge the following rates: Fer a2 horse pleasure car- riage, 50 cents; for a1 horse pleasure carriage, 25 cents: for a wagon. 15 cents: r acart, 10 cents; for @ horse and rider, 15 cen's; for euch and every horse attached to a wagan or cart, 5 cents; cattle per head, § cents, and for foot Passengers, 10 cents each. The privilege of Tunning said ferry is granted to Wm. H. Ten- ney for the term of five years. Mr. Davis stated that, in his opinion, a ferry could be es- tablished across the Potomac, and supported for a less sum than had been calcalated upon.

Mr. Shoemaker thought a bonus of $2,000 woula be sufficient, and hs was of the opinion thataset sum should be appro- priated for the aidot said ferry. Mr.Clabangh said the people were anxious and desirous for the establishment of the ferry. He did not think that the proceeds from the increase upon licenses would reach 34,000, which he thought Sn exorbitant eum to appropriate to the ferry. Mr. Ramsburgh stated that it was not the ob- ject ot Mr. Tenney to make money, partica- Jarly in the establishment of this ferry, but to increase the business of the town. He would remind the board that should a bridge be erected across the river it would kill the project, and Mr Tenney would thereby be the loser of a + considerable sum of money. He was heartily in favor of the establishmentof the ferry. Mr. Davis moved to recommit the bill to the Com. mittee on the Harbor and Uhannel, with in. sractions to report a specific «nm asa bonus for the aid of said ferry, and that the commit- tee be instructed to report the amendment du- ring the evening. Sndeequently, Mr. Davis woved @ reconsideration of the motion by which the bill was referred back to the Com- | mittee om the Harbor and Channel, with a view to its reference to the Board of Aldermen, for the purpose of ascertaining their views of the modes by which it 1s proposed to raise the bonus for the aid of the ferry.
