Harcns reside in Brooklyn, and is m great admirer of faorse-tfeeh Recent! j h cam to this city for tbe purpose of buy ing a gray mar belonging to our friend AlcCali. Tbe ray tnare is a very fino- looking 'aadruped, and also very fast. She can do a utile in 2 55, with two in a vagonv Havens beard of her merits last veek,wJ -resolved cn a purchase. He iookTcn1tfasl at Sunwhc HaH. Shortly '' ' tifter which ha buttoned up his coat and started out to find McCalL He met him in Broadway, near the City Hotel. With Mac" ho had the following coursrsa ' I ".ton . 'I I understand, Mj: McCall that you wish to stll that gray mare of yours V l did want to sell her, but I imagine she is now disposed of.' ! Disposed oil To whom?' . To your friend Skerrett, of Brooklyn.' ; What did he agree to give you V f m Fiva hundred and thirty dollars.' 'If you will let m bave her, 1 will give yon five hundred and fifty dollars cash -.down.' .. " m . - Dut I've promised her to Skerrelt' -nVbenV v; " - ? 'Last week-' . ". ' v .. f - - Never mind that. If ha should call, way she's dead that I broke her on the Troy Road, in consequence of which we 4)ad to blow her brains out.4 Will you back mo up in tha story tH- ' Of course l.wilL' ; ' 1 :J It's a bargain, then.1 Hvi mt the fir - , . 1. 4 - ; f hundred and fifty, and I'll send the mare j down to-morrow night. - But hadn't we belter crop her mane and bob her tail, so that Skerrett cannot sue me for lying to bim V ! Just as you please there's your money, j Bo sure to send her down- on Tuesday night, on the Knickerbocker.' Mr. McCall promised to do so. Soon after which he folded up his five hundred and fifty, and walked away. This was Monday morning. On Mon day afternoon Mr. Skerrett made bia ap pearance in town. He met McCall in State Street. f 'Well, Mac, I've called to pay you for that mare.' -What mare V . !The gray mare the one you wrote me about last week. ; 'Haven't you heard about that?' 'About what?' 'About that gray mare she is dead and buried.' . 'Dead nonsense. You are fooling me.' f'Not at all. If you doubt it, ask yonr neignbor Havens, who broke her leg on the Troy Road.' ! 'Is Havens here t ! 'Yes you will find biro at Stanwix Hall.' It is not necessary for us to say that Mr. Skerrett went to Stanwix Hall and saw Havens, neither is it necessary for us to say that Mr. Havrns declared that the gray mare was dead, and that he killed her. He could not do otherwise, without losing "one of the best bargains he ever made.' - Mr. Skerrett regretted the catastrophe, but concluded there was no use for crying over spilt milk. He shook hands with Havens and left, saying he would try and find a piece of speed in some other part of the city. Havens having quieted bkerrett, took the 4 45 train for New York, and ar rived at Brooklyn a little after 10 on Mon day evening. I McCal I promised to send the mare down on Tuesday evening. He did not do any thing of the kind. In consequence of this, Havens came up again on Wednesday to see "what it all meant." He found Mc- Call nt the new Stenmoont Landing. 'Why didn't you send that mare down last night V 'What mare?' Why. that gray mam I bought of you on Monday.' 'On Monday!' 'Yen, on Monday.' You're mistaken. I soM you no mnre on Monday, and for the best reason in the world, she was dead a week before.' Dead ! What Ja you mean?' What do I rrteani And have you for got that you broke her leg on the Troy Road, nnd that so badly that xve had to blow her brntns out You don't menn to swindle me by any such game, do you Swindle ! not a bit of it. You killed the mare, and I can prove it.' Who by?' Your own neighbor, Skerrett, of Brook- And what does he know about it?' Just what you told him, and that U, that you killed the mare while trying her speed on the Troy Road.' Havens could hear no more, but rushed for the Police Office, where he swore out a warrant against McCall for swindling. It was issued by Justice Parsons. But as Mac proved by Skerrett that the complain ant admitted that he killed the mare on the 5th of December, of course he could not have purchased her on Monday the 10th. Verdict for th defendant. Mr. "Havens left for New York, on Wednesday night, in the Manhattan. He was accompanied by Skerrett. On going forward, after tea, he saw a gray mare that led to the follow ing dialogue: Who's bob tailed mare is that, Skerret V Mine.' 'Possible where did you get her. Bought her from McCall. She is not quite as good-looking as the one I wanted, but I think she is full as speedy.' What did you givet' 'Four hundred dollars. Say no oaore let's drink.' Skerrett obeyed orders and went in and took Ma little something warm. Havens paid for it. As" he did so, a bystander thought he ottered an imprecation about a certain swindling scoundrel in Albany. Wonder if he meant McCall. We will write to Brooklin and find oat. Moral. Never hire a man to lie, unless you wish to get cheated yourself. Piliee Triburu. SXTXXSIVE THIEVING OPZKATIOKS IN BOSTON. A woman named Anna S. Williams was arrested on Friday, in Boston, under the following circumstances; She went into Bacon & Smith's, jewel lers, in Ehn street, in the' afternoon, and asked to exchange a breast-pin. ; She was recognized as having been in the store several times, and on each occasion some article of jewelry had been missed. Mr. Bacon followed her, and meeting an officer hinted to him bis suspicions and put him on her track. The officer kept sight of her while she visited several stores, and then followed her to her residence, where she was arrested. In her possession was found about &f0 worth of jewelry and $306 worth of dry geeds. THE MCINTTRB ATO RDEtt ENGLL5 H RE-':- -CGSNHED. PuiLADELrma, Oct. 9. The coroner's inquest on the Mclntyre murder was in session yesterday. - Two witnesses recog nized John English, of "Balrraaore, as the man who fired the pistol, though one swore he wore a cap and the lher a . Kossu ih hat. By testitflony of other witnesses it was proven that tbe SttSiler Mose was at tacked, and that a Terming gbt ensued for two squares. One witness also testifies that the deceased was beating a man over the head when ho was shot. This is ' cor roborated by the deceased having a billy in his hand when found., The inquest meets to form a verdict this evening. CIRCULAR. A BOOK FOR EVERY SOUTHERN METHODIST Karly ia 1856, probably in the month of Febru ary, I expect to publish a new work to the partic ular features of which I beg leare to call your at tention. The Annals of Southern Methodism, for 1 855 wilt be a 12 mo volume of not les than 360 pages well printed, from stereotype plates, upon good paper. It 'wiil contain all available statistics in every department of the operations of the METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, SOUTH. The design embraces the Plan of Episcopal visi tation; account of the sessions of all the Confer ences held in IS55, the appointments, numbers, Sc; a summary of all reported revivals, notices of the dedication of new Churches ; reports of College Commencements, with all else connected with our educstionai movements; a resume of our Mission ary operations, embracing whatever seems of gene ral Interest in '.hat department ; the movements of (he Tract and Sunday School Societies; whatever appertains to oar publishing interests, with an nouncements of all New Kcoks published by oar Concern, or written by Southern Methodists ; what the Church is doing for the instruction of Slaves Historical and Biographical Essays; interesting: personal reminiscences; snd a miscellany of im portant facts and incidents. THE ANNALS." It isbelieveeVwill be a fair and fulldagnerreotypeol the progress of Southern Methodism. It will occur to you st once, that if t have sue ceeded in preparing this volume with any reasona ble amount of skill, it will not only be a very agree able book for present reading-, but that every year will add to its value as showing tbe posture of Sou thern Methodism at this particular juncture of its history. THIS PIGEST Will be specially valuable as a Book of reference. To whatever question of general interest may arise in regard to the events of 1865, it is hoped that a satisfactory answer will be found in ihe Annals. While it' is believed that the Ministers in our Church will desire copies ss soon as they can be obtained, I have paid regard to the what I suppos ed the tsstcsof general readers. The older mem bers of the Church will find sketches that carry them back to their earlier compeers, as in this de partment 1 have not restricted myself to the histo ry of the yesr, but have collectea whatever has ap peared during the year, which, ss history and biog raphy, preserves the memoirs of the olden time, and of the esrly men of Southern Methodism. The work will be published st One Dollar a copy. Those who subscribe in advance, shall receive the first copies issued from the press. A gold . dollar pssted in a letter can be sent securely snd is pref erable to biUsof distant Hanks. Those of the banks in North and South Carclina will be as good as gold. In return a copy will be sent well wrapped and pre paid. My addrcaa is Goldsboro', N. C. CHARLES F. DEFAtfi. Dec. 29. 122m RUE, RICE. CASKS, just in. Forsslehy 25 April 10. T. C. A B. G. WORTH.

Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, London; graduais from one of the most eminent Colleges of the United States, snd the grester part ot whose life has been spent in the Hospitals of London, Psr ts, Philadelphia. and elsewhere, has rflected some of the most astonishing cures that wereever known. Many troubled with ringing in the ears and head when asleep, great nervousnsss, being alarmed st sudden sounds, snd bsshfumess. with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with dersngeineni of mind, were cured immediately. A CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided snd imprudent votary of pleasure finds he has imbibed the seeds of . his psinful disesse, it too often happens that aniil-lim-ed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, d.ters him from spplying to those who, Irom educstion and respectability, can alone befriend him, delay ing till the constitutional symptoms of (his horrid disease make their appearance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, nor rural pains in the headend limbs, dimnrss of sltht, deafness, nodes on the shin bones snd Srttts, blotches on the head, fsee and extremities, progresBttic with frightlulta pidity, till at last the palate of ihe mouth or the bones of the nose tail in. and the victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of commis seration, till death puts a period to his dreadful suf ferings, by sending him to "thst bourne from whence no traveller returns. " To stich therrfore, Dr. Johnston pledges himself to preserve the most inviolable secrecy smi, from his extensive prac tice in the first Hospitals of Europe and America, hecan confidtntly recommend a saf and speedy cure to the unformna'e victim of this horrid di eaae. It is a melancholy fact, thst thousands fall victims to this dreadful complaint, owiue to the n skilfulness ol Ignorant pretenders, who, by the use of that desdly poison, mercury, ruin the con.iito tion, snd either send the unfortunate sufferer to sn untimely grave. or else make the r set due of life ml, erable.
