Lost Hia Money. A gentleman
from Anson county, by the name of John
C. Henry, made complaint to the Marshal
yesterday afternoon1' that 6ome parties in a
store on Water street had. been the cause
of hia losing a sura; of money. It seems
that he went into the store for the purpose
of settling an account which the proprie
tor held against him, which he done,
reserving about twenty dollars with which
to meet his expenses in returning home.
This money Mr. II.' feft" lying on the
counter while he examined .the receipted
bill which had been handed him,, and in.
the meantime one of the clerks swept the :
money from the counter, remarking to a
colored man standing by, "This is the
money for the coat, is it t " To which
the darkey replied, "yes." Mr. H. says he
was confident at the time it was his money,
but to make sure ol the fact he . walked to
the door and examined ' his pocket-book
. . .. . . - .4 . , ....
and pockets and could find no money.
He then demanded- the same from the
clerk, but met with a peremptory refusal,
that individual stating that the. money,
M as paid him . by the . colored . man, and
tliu latter , corroborating .the assertion.
3Ir. Henry says he is certain the money
taken by the clerk in his. He is well
known in the city and . his character is
said to be above suspicion. The case
will undergo an examination before Judge
Can t well this morning.
Improvement in Prospective.
AVe are pleased to learn that Gen. Abbott
has introduced a bill in the Senate, which
was read twice and reforred to 'the Com
mittee on Commerce, which authorizes an
appropriation of $100,000 for the benefit
of Wilmington. This appropriation is in
tended for the purpose of erecting in this
city a new, substantial and commodious
tuildiDg to be used as a" Post Office, Cus
ton House offices, United States Court
Room, Ac. ' As such a building, near the
centre of the city, is a want long felt and
daily growing more necessary to our pro
gressive city, we hope the bill will meet
the favorable consideration of the two
houses of Congress. ' V ,

inflamed, the present ' warm weather not

ton if. Liytle, lor K orgery. inisistne
first case of the sort tried here in a great
many years, and consequently it was very
interesting. The prisoner was charged in
the bill ot indictment with forging his
father's name to a prosecution bond. The
father consequently was an important wit
ness for the State. He "testified that he
did not sign the name himself, but that it
was a forgery. This old gentlemen did
himself much credit lor the very candid
and honest manner in which he discharged
his duty as a witness ior the State against
his son. Much feeling was shown in tne
Court House for the former ; it was an
isolated ease of a disinterested witness,
testifying in a cause in which was in-.
volvedthe dearest interests of his son!
It is scarcely necessary to add that the
prisoner was convicted : the jury returned
in half an hour, with a ; verdict .of guilty,
Judgment was at once prayed. The clerk
wrote ' it down; as- the - Jndge 4 dictated.
What .dreadtul words those : Let the
prisoner be confined at hard labor in the
