It ap- Pears that in answer to an advertisement in- serted in one of the morning papers, and which called for fifty peach-packers to go to Del- awnre City, about the above number of Germans responded. Most of them were poor, and without employment, and were glad of the opportunity to find work. They received word frem the advertiser to meet him on Tuerday morning on the Wiiming- ton boat, at Obestnut etreet wharf. On their arrival he collected $125 from each of them to pay their car fares to Delaware Ci-y.

A writer inthe Lendoun Mirror makes the following suggestions for the improvement of | the county of Loudoun: “Let the county ieene { ita bonds for £200,000; let $120.000 be invested in | the preferred stock of the Alexandria, Loudoun | and Hampshire Railroad, to be applied to the | continuation of the road to or beyond Hilis- | borough, as far as the money will carry it. | Apply 810.000 to the two bridges across Goose D Kephart's, and on the Turnpike, and make them moderave toll bridges; apply $10.00 | for bridges at Bali's Mill and Carter's Mill, $£,00 to Goose Creek Bridge near Philoment, | and loan $10,000 each to the bridges at Berlin | and Point of Rocks, taking the tolls as security, | end apply the remaiuder 335,000 to the imme- | Giate repair of the county roads.” The Esteline Furnace, a magnificent iron property, situated in Augusta county, 20 miles from Staanton, about 4 miles from’ the Va.

More Loose Bank ManxaGENENT,—In the | preliminary examination of the paying teller who detrauded the Tradesmen’s Bank in New York, it appeared that a large part of the miss- ing money was abstracted three or four years ago Fifty-tour thousand collars is thé sum which the accused is charged with having stolen, but neither he nor the president of the bank seemed to have # very ciear idea of the lime or limes that the money was taken. The New York Sun, in referring to the matte, :e- marks: The only thing that appears clear about the | maier is that the money is missing now, and | | that, asthe defaniter says, “when the back removed from Chatham street, in 1561, tha books were square.” The oounsel for the de- | fense declared his ability to prove that more | than £30.00 of the missing fands were taken previous to 1264. Lt seeme. therefore, that ine teller had been appropriating bank money to bis own use for five or eix years, and the of- | ficers of the bank knew nothing of the loss | until ther attention was called to the subject | only a few days ago. If such developments as this do not make bank stockholders and de- positors feel neryons, their equanimity can- not be easily disturbed. The coliusion of two tellers im the same crime {s extraordinary, snd it is the only circumstance that explains why the fraud bas been so jong concealed.

The yext tnree s'rikers, however, secared pases on bite, and by a wild throw of Nelson’s and a Gropped fiy-ball by Fisher, a chance to put the side out for two rubs was lost, and afterward they ran up a score of nine; McBride scoriag two rans, Kleiu putting Reach ou at third in fine style. In the second innings the Eckfords scored two by dropped fiy-balls. m pretty catch by Cuthbert an: the fine flelding of Wilkins ang Reach closing the innings.

Itappears that a colored man presented himeelfat the office of a steamship company in that city, king first-class passage for New York, for which he advanced full fare. The agent peremptorily refused him, because of his color. The colored mn then’ went to Gen. Schofield to seek redress, who reterred him to Judge Underwood, then holding court, He went before the Judge, explained his case, and stated turtber that be was anative and resident of Canada, and consequently a sab- ject of Her Most Gracious Majesty, Queen Victoria. Upon learning this important fact the Judges declined to interfere in the matter, ad visime the applicant for his rights to lay the case beiore the British Consul, That officiat existing only in imagination at Richmoad since bis expulsion by the rebel aathorities, the Canadian will proceed to Washington with a view to obtain from the British Minis- ter what he bas been denied elsewhere. This will probably result in a diplomatic corres- pondence, which may establish the right of a colored Britisy subject to travel by any con- veysnce that he may think proper, providing he is able to pay. Lzcat RIGHTS OF THESHAKERS.—Six years go, a girl trom Providence, R. 1. named Eliza J. Brown, was bound out to the Leba- non Sbakere, and the time of indenture expired a yearago. The mother of the girl on Mon- day demanded her of the Shakers, but the: re- tused to give her up, and the girl herself pe- remptorily refused to leave. Tnereupon, with , the assistance of Sheriff Hiram Allen, of Chatham, N. ¥., ste was forcibly taken trom her guardians and carried away. When the sother and sheriff arrived at Pittsfield, they ‘were arrested for an assault on complaint of one of the principal Snakere, and the next day were required to give $500 bonds each for ap- pearance on Saturday. Inthe night the girl was spirited away, probably by some of the | mother’s friends, and a warrant bas been is- shed for her rete This affair bas created considerable excitement, and its decision will be of grave importance ‘to the Shaker frater- vity, as it will show whether they have the right to the custody of girls after the age of eighteen, and whether the girl's wish or that of their metbers 1s paramount insuch a case. Suockinc Domestic TRaGepy.—On Satur. day last a terrible tragedy occurred near New Ricbmond, Ubio, a few mi’es above Olncin- nat, on the river.
