AUGUSTA, GA . 1
FRIDAY MORNING, FEB. 2. 1866
Complimentary. The Luke City
(Fla.) Press, oi the 26th January, has
the followiujf notice:
“Our friend, E. 11. Pughe, is now publish
ing a hauds.nne daily paper iu Augusta,
Ga. Mr. P. will be remembered by many
o/our citizens as the publisher, atone time,
of the St. John's Mirror, Jacksonville, Fla.”
How the Adams Express Thieves
were Detected. —The Boston Journal
has the following from a correspondent
in New York-.
New England is still ahead. New York
has shrewd detectives, but can’t compete
with New England brains. All the money
'lost by Adams Express has been recovered
and the robbers arrested. It was accom
plished in this wise: Spooner, who is
the head of the New England department of
the Express Company, was called out of his
bed at Bridgeport on the night of the robbery,
and the fact announced to him. He took
the whole charge of ferreting out the thieves.
He believed they would come back to New
York that night. He agreed on a signal
.from the conductor by which every man
should be pointed out to him who got on
board between Bridgeport and New Y ork.
Mr. Spooper took a lantern and went
through the train as a conductor. Two men
were spotted and watched. They jumped
off at Forty-second street and were follow
ed. After a circuit of some three or four
miles, they brought up at a house on Tenth
avenue. They had nothing with them. To
get the money was quite as important a? to
arrest the robbers. Convinced that they
would go and get the money and return
with it, they were allowed to depart, but a
detective was put on their truck. - As was
expected, they returned with the money and
were nabbed. They were not lost sight of
for a moment from the time they first got.
on board the train till they were in the
Station-house. A better piece of detective
work has not been seen in New York lately.
Josh Bilmsgs oh Preaching.—“l
always tfflvise short sermons, especially
on a hot Sunday. If a minister kant
strike ile in boreing 40 miuutes, he haz
either got a poor gimblet or else he iz a
boreing in the rong place.”
An eye witness relates the following
incident: “At a revival meeting in Illi
nois, an impulsive Dutchman was pres
ent. In the progress of the meeting,
Dutchey’s feeling became overpowering,
and, rising and swinging, his hat, he
exclaimed, with unction, “Hurrah for
■Shesus I He ish de feller I” The effect
was electrical, the serious countenances
giving way to merry ones.
—Since August last, the Treasury
Department at Washington has destroy
ed, by burning, over $43,000,000 worth
of mutilated and cancelled notes of all
kinds, and 10,000,000 additional will
soon be added to the flames.
Recent experiments in the British
navv proved that the 1 thick oil of petro
leum, the resid.urn of the third distilla
tion, i3 the best substitute for coal in
generating steam.
—lncorrigible urchin to a well-dressed
John Bull—“I say, old feller, how does
ye spell saloon over in your country ?”
English Swell—“With a hes, a hay, a
hell, two hoes and a hen —Sa-l-00-n.”
—A young widow, on being asked
why she was going to get married so
soon alter the death of her first husdand,
replied, “I do it to prevent fretting my
self to death on account of dear Tom.”
—Burton N. Harrison, late Private
Secretary of Jefferson Davis, who has
for some time past been confined in Fort
Delaware, has been released by the
President.
—By keeping steadily drunk for one
year in Missouri, you can be divorced
without fail. Isn’t this a premium on
■drunkenness ?
—The ashes of a smoked cigar are
little thought of—those of man scarcely
more.
—A pin has as much head as a good
■many authors, and a great deal more
point.
—To rob .a roan of his money, is to
wound him in the chest.
—There is a bill before Congress to
tax horse racing.
