POLICE. &C.
April 14.
New Way to Raise the Wind. - A person named Ansou Barlow was arrested and
examined before the police justice yesterday, for obtaining money under false
pretences. From the testimony it appeared that he has resided in this city about
five months. Several weeks ago he accosted a carman named Cyrus Swan,
representing himself as a stranger and out of money. He requested the loan of
fifty cents and offered a ring which he said was gold, in pledge until he could
refund the money. Mr. Swan gave him the money, and upon showing the ring to a
jeweler, found it not worth a sixpence. He played the same trick upon one of our
citizens yesterday - a very kind hearted, charitable gentleman - for which
he was arrested and committed to prison for vagrancy. This Barlow is one of the
blacklegs who have prowled about the billiard rooms in this city during the past
winter. He resides at the establishment of Mr. William Williams, near the corner
of Exchange and Troop Streets. He also obtained a dollar of one of our
forwarders last fall for a watch key. When arrested he seemed to have plenty of
money, and refunded all the sums he had fraudulently obtained.

With consumption, on Sunday, 23d. Inst. Capt. ISRAEL SMITH, aged 43 years - Funeral at his residence on Johnson
st., on Tuesday, at 10 a.m. Friends and acquaintances are respectfully invited to attend.
The deceased having a large circle of friends and acquaintances, who it is thought would be grateful to hear the
circumstances immediately connected with the sickness and death, a friend has communicated the ???? particulars:
"Capt. Smith was an officer on board the ???? steamboat Vermillion, at the time of her destruction by fire
on Lake Erie, last fall, and barely escaped with his life. Shortly after returning to his family in this city,
he was confined to his bed with consumption, which ?????? his life. His sufferings, which at times were (unreadable)
with fortitude and Christian resignation. Becoming ???? sensible of his condition as a sinner, and ??????? Living
faith in the Redeemer, he united with the Third Presbyterian Church, and received the Sacrament at the house about
five weeks since.
A few hours before his dissolution, in conversation with a friend, he exclaimed, "I long for that rest which
??????? for the children of God.' His faith was unclouded, his hopes of a glorious immortality beyond a doubt.
??? but seldom that surviving friendship has come for ?? rejoicing at the
triumphant departure of the beloved,
??? is to be realized by those who were intimate with Capt. Smith during his late illness.
"A funeral sermon will be preached upon the occasion of his death, at the 3d Presbyterian Church next Sunday
morning at 10 o'clock."

In this city, on the 22d inst., Mr. Martin Clapp, an old resident, aged 48
years. Printers in Hartford will please notice.
Yesterday morning, 25th inst., at the residence of his father, on Buffalo st.,
with consumption, Harvey K. Jackson, in the 21st year of his age.
The friends of the family are respectfully invited to attend
his funeral this afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the Washington Street Church.
It must be a source of much gratification to the friend, of
the deceased, to know that he died with a firm hope in the blessed Saviour -
trusting fully and confidently in Him who alone can save us from our sins. And
while the king of terror stole silently and darkly upon him, and his foot drew
nigh unto the valley of the shadow of death, be was not dismayed. His faith was
not shaken. To him death had no sting: for, amid the gloom and the shadow which
gathered around the death bed, the Star of Bethlehem shone sweetly out, and his
eye rested firmly and hopefully upon it, Although his illness was severe and
protracted, yet no word of complaint escaped the sufferer's lips. He bore all
with a Christian and manly fortitude.
