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 control of tho mails, deserted his friend when nppoaled to, and refused to go on his bond. A little white boy named David Mayo, fourteen years old, was found dead in a field near Hillsboro, North Carolina, last week. FINANCIAL, AND COMMERCIAL..

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." SUMAC WANTED.-We pay the highest market prices in cash for Sumac, de? livered cither at our tannery in Man? chester, at store No. 1,422 Main-street, Richmond, or at tho railroad depots in Richmond.
