ARREST OP THE LANCASTER POST?
MASTER.-A despatch to tho Charleston
Ueios. dated August 25, says:
J. H. W. Consort, the postmaster at
this plaoe, was arrested on last Thursday
night, (the 19th instant,) on a charge of
forgery, preferred against him by Strait
& Davis, druggists of this place. The
case was heard before Magistrate B. J.
Witherspoon, and tho evidence elicited
was as follows: On July 31st, Strait &
Davis mailed a letter containing two
checks on the United States Treasury at
Charleston, and an order on G. W. Wil?
liams A Co., payable at sight, to Do wie
& Moise, of Charlestcn. The checks wei?
abstracted and the letter, it is supposed,
was destroyed. On the 13th instant, a
letter was written and mailed in Colum?
bus, directing Dowie A Moise to pay to
one "James Smith," the order drawn on
G. W. Williams & Co., already mention?
ed, the forged signature of Strait A Da?
vis being attached to the letter. The
guilty parties, it is supposed, intended to
send this lotter to G. W. Williams A Co.,
but sent it by mistake to Dowie A Moise,
which led to the discovery of the crimi?
nals. Dowie & Moise returned the letter
to Strait A Davis with un inquiry as to
its meaning, and Strait & Davis were not
long in ferreting out the forger. All the
circumstances throw the suspicion of
guilt upon J. H. W. Cousart, the post?
master at Lancaster Court House, with
scarcely a doubt of its truth. Cousart
was in Columbia at the time the letter to
Dowie & Moise was mailed at that place,
though it purported te come from Lan?
caster. The letter was dated July 30,
but the post mark was August 13. This
told the tale. The letter was also identi?
fied as being in the hand-writing of Cou?
sart, which established his guilt.
After an unsuccessful attempt to obtain
bail, Cousart was committed to jail. His
brother, R. W. Cousart, who is a magis?
trate, and one of the greatest scamps un?
hung, fearful of shouldering the re?
sponsibility of releasing him, persuaded
a negro magistrate to sign a release for
Postmaster Cousart at a late hour of the
night, without satisfying the bond.
Postmaster Cousart hos not boen seen
here since his release, and is supposed to
bo in Columbia seeking the friendly pro?
tection of the craven ofQcors, or making
his way Northward.
The frequent visits of Cousart to Co?
lumbia since his appointment lead to the
conclusion that ho has an accomplice at
that place. I learn that ono of tho Cou
sarta confesses that registered and other
letters were robbed by this Postmaster
Cousart.
J. F. G. Mittag, the principal scala?
wag in this County, who used his in?
fluence to secure to tho radical party tho

LATE FROM JERUSALEM.-Recent ac?
counts from Jerusalem speak of tho rapid
progress and important results of Lieut.
Warren's explorations in tho sacred city.
More than fifty shafts have been sunk,
revealing archways, galleries, buried
balls, reservoirs and water-courses, thus
getting glimpses of thc city ns it was.
By ono of these shafts tho foundations of
tho old walls of the old Templo an a havo
been found ninety feet below tho present
surface. On some of these ancient
foundation stones numerous mysterious
character* have been found, some en?
graved on 6tono, others merely painted
red, but tho key to their meaning has
yet to bo discovered. Tho exploration
of tho Birket Israil, or Pool of Bethesda,
has revonlcd a vast reservoir nearly one
hundred feet in depth.
An Important Discovery-A. Ntw Metlkod
. or PrneiTlng Ihc H?ra?n Body.
. A correspondent of the Londou Atho?
ne? um, writing from Naples,' gives some
interesting information respecting the
means employed hy Professor Abbate, of
that city, for preserving the haman body.
He says:
"Some secret similar to Abbate's has
existed for a long time, as all travelers
who have visited Florence probably well
know. In the Cabinet of Physiological
Anatomy in Santa Maria Novella there
are preparations of portions of the hu?
man body by Dr. Segato. The Grand
Ducal Government refused to purchase
the secret, which died with Segato. His
preparations, I repeat, were only por?
tions of the body, whereas that which is
I now being exhibited in Naples in the ex
convent of Santa Maria della Nuova is
the entire body of a youth of seventeen
years of ago, who died of phthisis about
the end of last January. For five months,
therefore, it has resisted the action of a
very variable atmosphere. The features,
the integrity of the form, aro perfectly
preserved as they were at the moment of
death. The nails have a roseate hue;
there is no odor of any kind; and the
flesh has the hardness almost of marble.
"The operation of embalming or petri?
fying is effected in a few hour? without
the necessity of removing tho dress. In?
deed, another body has been petrified
according to the same system without
taking oil' the dress, and even preserving
the gloves on. 'We know,' says a medi?
cal gentleman, not au Italian, to whom I
am indebted for these details, 'that some
gentlemen in Naples, after having proved
what wc have stated, have made an alter?
ation in their wills, imposing it as nn
obligation on their heirs that they shall
apply the system of Abbate to their
bodies in the event of their dying beforo
tho Professor.'
"This discovery has, however, a more
practical and more important phase- 1
that is, in preserving meat fresh. Ab?
bate asserts he has succeeded completely. .
There are difficulties in this special ap- i
plication of it which would not present !
themselves in the petrifaction of human !
bodies, such as the danger of introducing l
substances injurious to health, or affect?
ing the taste, tho appearance, or tho nu?
tritivo qualities of tho meat. All theso :
difficulties Abbate declares he hos over- 1
come; and it is a known fact that a first- ;
rate house in Italy, whoso commercial ?
relatious with the Americans arc con?
siderable, has already made oilers to Ab- <
bute on the subject." l
How TO FATTEN A Poon HOUSE.-Many
good horses devour large quantities of <
grain and hay, and still continue thin
and poor. Tho food eaten is not pro?
perly assimilated. If the usual feed bas i
been ungronnd grain and hay, nothing ?
but a change will effect any desirable
alteration in the appearance of the ani?
mal. In case oil meal cannot bc ob?
tained readily, minglo a bushel of flax?
seed with a bushel of barley, one of oats, 1
and another bushel of Indian corn, and
let it bo ground into fine meal. This
will be a fair proportion for all his feed.
Or, the meal of barley, oats aud corn, in
equal quantities, may first be procured,
aud one-fourth part of oil cake mingled
with it, when the meal is sprinkled on
cut feed. Feed two or three quarts of
tho mixture three times daily, mingled
with a peck of cnt hay and straw. If j
the horse will eat that amount greedily, ,
let tho quantity be gradually increased i
until he will eat four or six quarts at 1
every feeding three times a duy. So ((
long as tho animal will cat this allow?
ance, tho quantity may be increased a
little every day. But avoid tho practice
of allowing a horse to stand at a rack
well filled with hay. In order to fatten ;
a horse that has run down in flesh, the :
groom should bo very particular to feed
thc animal no moro than he will cat up
clean and lick his manger for more.
TANNING.-A recipe for tanning skins
of animals with the hair on, which,
though doubtless familiar to our pro?
fessional readers, may interest those who
may have occasion to prepare such ar?
ticles for themselves. The skins to bc
tanned, of whatever character, are to be
well washed while still fresh, and care?
fully cleaned of the fat and flesh. They
are then to bo placed in a solution of
oak bark and taken out twice a day, en?
tirely freed from the liquid and well
rubbed up. In every forty-eight hours
they are to bo placed in a .stronger bath,
until they aro finished, which will be in
about six weeks. The skins nre then to
be cleaned from any particles of flesh still
remaining, and to be saturated with
liquid grease, fish oil or tallow. They
ure then piled np hair to hair and flesh
to flesh, and allowed to remain for two
days until tho fat is entirely absorbed.
The skins are then dried, brushed
against tho grain and smoothed down.
HOMICIDE.-Joel A. Schr?ck, Esq.,
Magistrate, held an inquisition, on Mon?
day last, upon the body of Paul Wil?
liams, color-id, deceased, at which it ap?
peared that, about 4 o'clock, on Friday
afternoon last, deceased and one Hubert
Nixon, lads of twelve or thirteen years
of age, had an altercation; that deceased
threw n brick at Nixon, which, striking
him in tho mouth, knocked out one
tooth and loosened another; that Nixon
picked up the samo brick, throw nt de- j
ceased, striking him upon the right side
of thc stomach, somewhat in front, from
which wound deceased came to his death i
on Monday morning, between 3 and 11
o'clock.-Camden Journal,
A serious riot between whites and blacks
is reported in Macon, Tenn., in which
tho negroes threatened to sack the town,
and it is said wounded several of thc she?
riff 8 posse sent to quell tho disturbance.
Thc riot grow ont of a fight between a
negro and white boy.
APPOINTMENT.-Tho Postmaster-Gene?
ral has appointed Mr. M. O'donnel, Jr.,
of South Carolina, mail agent on the
route from Augusta to Charlotte, in thc
place of James A. Beattie, removed.
in the- New- York popers. ? party of
men, three generally being the number,
caused a whisper to float through certain
speculative circles that they had on hand
and for sale a largo quantity of stolen
bonds which could be purchased cheap
for cash. Very soon some one, in his
haste to be rich, nibbled eagerly at the
tempting bait, and the parties would be
brought together and the negotiation
concluded. The sellers always had a
package of bonds nicely done up, and
the top one temptingly displayed, and
at the moment they handed this over
and received the money, an alarm would
be given that the police were at hand,
and tho parties soparated with precipi?
tate haste. Tho purchaser, howevor, al?
ways fled with a light heart, for ho had
done a very neat thing in getting bonds
twenty to fifty por oent. below their
value, and always hastened to some safe
covert to examine his treasure more at
leisure. But when he did so, his face
always underwent u Kudden and terrible
elongation-there was never any bond
bnt tho top one, for all beneath it was
nothing more than very ordinary white
paper, neatly folded, but utterly blank.
Then he would roalizo that he had been
grievously swiudled, but he had been
trying to buy stolen, property, and so
could not afford to seek redress.
THE WRONO SMELL.-A high officer of
tho Sons of Temperance presenting him?
self with the smell of grog he had been
drinking upon him, nt the door of a
"division" for admission, was waited
upon by an Irish sentinel, to whom ho
gave tho pass-word, when the following
passed :
"Sir," said he, "an' yez are Alister
O'Wright, the Grund Worthy Patriarch
of Kainthucky; I do bc af their belavin."
"Yes," said Jim, "you are perfectly
right my friend; but why do you ask the
question?"
"To tell you the truth, then, sir, aud
shame the devil," said Pat, "yez'do be
ivfter bavin' tho right pass-word for a
Son of Temperence, entirely; bnt by the
Holy Virgin and the blessed St. Path
rick, yez got the wrong smell."

SOME dealers in this city have been in doubt
that I could hold out supplying them with
Beer this summer. I new inform tho public
that I have a large supply of old Lager Beer
on hand, which I put against any Beer brought
! from the North, or even imported from Ger?
many, aa to purity and strength. I am ready
to test it by the Beer scale.
