What thi* new form waa td be might hare been auppoaed from one of the . vent* of thla night We had reached Franklin Square, and the captain waa about to cross the street to reach the ^ Walton Houae, when a stranger ap- - peared In our front He waa a ahort t n man, liad a foreign look— at least such , r waa my imprraaioo from a dear moon3 light * lew— wore a cap, and seemed to , « be of eea-Daring lire. We saw him ftiil ] i* thirty -feet ahead, walking toward u* . ~ nith rapid step and nuuiDer tndlrmllng ; ( llcrcc cxdletncnt muttering to himrelf j , A In tones which indicated deep and bit- j „ ler perturbation. This startling indi- ! ( ridoal walked toward Captain Walton ( •• and then hailed directly In hla front. , " and gazed upon him Jor a mom rut . with a look that Accrued almost dlabol- ( l> ical witli fury and revenge, lie then ] turned abruptly and diaapixared in an j alley. I must confess that I mu cx- - exceedingly shocked at thla sudden and startling appearance, which Impressed j - mo with a sense of danger »uch aa I never before oraiuce have felt In the presence of any human being. 1 had j *" wen a countenance peculiarly evilllt up " by the cxcllcment af had passions; still ( it waa not aumdent to carry terror to ( the heart of a brave man. Hence 1 waa much surprised by the effect It bad J on Captain Walton; I knew hla repu- t lotion for courage, which Indeed, according to report, he had shown cm , several occasion* , and this raado hit a conduct more noticeable. As the ' stranger advanced horeeollcl a few J 1 step* and gnu pod my arm in ailcnce.'i c but in a manner which indicated n r apaam of terror. Then, aa tlm iigurc ' diaappeared, lie ahoved mo back and i >. sought to Ibllow It a abort dial. nice, | when he suddenly stopped, In evident | cooludoo, and aal down upon a door- V step. Hianjunlenance appeared ghaat- , - ly and haggard. It wa. a strange , moonlight aerne, and we all felt Its [ weird poarer. 1 i, The drat to apeak was Mr. Mclfenl, i on whose invitation Walton hail gooe | _ to Uie meeting. For God's take, Captain, what's , the matter? Did the fellow hurt you? a '- What can it mean?" t * Tor a moment no reply was made, „ and then Walton looked around dia- , tractedly, and exclaimed. In a manner 1 i, which allowed Ida Inattention to the j question: 1 ; "What did bossy? I did not hear , it clearly. Did you make it out? I - know he aald something. " I "No matter what he said," remark- t . d Sounders, another of the group.- „ ' -lit only aorae fellow whom rum n 11 make* combative— a bad one to meet, j though, any where, tor hc|mjght liandlc , 4 cold'tleel." 1 "You seem unwell. Captain IVal- , tun,'' rejolurtl Mclfortl. "We will a*- ( ^ slat you home; U'a only bctom Uie c * istna*." t " I ain net exactly unwell," replied [ , Walton, evidently trying tn rally; "hut j how It la lean not teD,- unless hard , * work on my land claim had worn mr , out, and then late hoars at a political e ' meeting, you know. I hare felt badly t all day and evening too, and so thl- ; overact me; but I am better now.— , We'll go oo." , We aecompanlod the captain to his c lodging*, and then poised down toward , llanover Square, in which vidnity , meat of ua dwelt. Al a matter of ( i. course, the strange event wa* the sub- , jret of con venation; and thongh It , d might have been reaaonahly sappuscl , ■ tlial latoxleaUoo waa the cause of that | fellow's ceo-tncL yet, alter all. we could , not ihake off the Idea of mystery which , ncrorapanled 1L , Although I had but lately been In- | trodaead to Captain Walton, 1 took , | the liberty to call nut day at hit Indg- , ing* to Inquire concerning hi* health, ■ and learned that he kept hla room, , thongh not, as ho aald, "really 1U." ( and hoped lo be about hy the out day. , „ I aubaequrnlly learned that a ahort ( time after I left he sent for lha-lor .

Tlie physician feU the patient's | pul-c and Inquired hi* symptoms. In- , ataad of making a direct reply, the lat- j tcr talked in a desultory and abstract- , Cil manner, referring hut little to the , k matter of diasaae, but in aomo way tug- , 2 geatlng that there must be a mere im- , portanl anbjecl on his mind. Still, he , csanptaluad of occasional palpitation | ~ awl nervous distress. The doctor wai , -* a thorough man, and did wit care to ( i.- diamift the rate so Ughtly. lleuee he , ~ naked if there wa* any painful circum- j a lance or experience which waa then i ! distressing his patient's thoughts. The, latter j denied this, and V cven teemed worried by (he «uggcalloii. • ' Doctor Hoaack then remarked that ho could tee nothing out of the way in all M this, altliough, perhaps, there might ». be a alight dtftk-ulty la digestion. 1 1 c then, ni nasal, wrote a proscription, and was about tn withdraw, wtieil ,, Captain Walton suddenly stoppad him as though a now Idea wa* suggested to hie mind. . "Doctor, I had almost forgotten a question which aotw-llmcA "crura to me. I hardly know, after all, whether it be strictly a mcdiml one, bat if m* 1 " you will excase iL'' " Well, rtir," repUed the phy*lcLu, _ "goon and propose yoar qneatlon."

Thiti I infonflallon aa to Ihe real purpoae f 1 1 tho advertisement was over dlrnlge-l tlie attorney. . C'sptsin Walton'* di*tnss had been , generally nollceil by his friend*, who „ ntcrllKsl it to hypochondria, and luuua they were gratified to once more «e t improvement in bis spirit*. One of tho earliest symptom* of this wa* ,, appearance at a grand «uppcr ol the , Masonic fralcrnitr, to which lie he- , longed. Thi* institution nai thou v strongly cslsbUslicil In Now York. ,. On this oceasiua the captain's friends , had Ibdr eyes ujnn him. and observed „ that he pllod the bottle freely, anil, „ afwtracird, tie mi ts-rsmr mrllowc,! ,| and coniHMHIMUl Tills was u tub- h of plasaant remark; hut Uiey did j uot know that a secret anxh-ty Impelled , to this course, and that bis exer*- , sire viraritT arose not only (rent the ,| of wine, but also- fruui a atrong , counter cftbrt of Uie mind. He left the tabic early, and, in obedlcitre to his „ present pas* ion, he jiroceeded to the , Harringtons', where he spent a couple of ilehghtfhl hours. At the end of this time lilt elation of spirits began to flag . and hi* nndSlncd apprehensions threatened a return; ami when he look Ids j , Wave he felt a fixcbodlng of eomlug ; mischief and his mind wa* haunted by I j mysterious apprelieuaious, which be" , could not altogether repel. He pur- t, surd his way homeward, with adogged resolution to meet whatever might oc- , ' cur, and, ta no return of tbolhoUtcps he began to feel 4 restoration ; of confldenrn. Ho had walked half a . mile, ami was Just reaching tho long - of twlokling lamps that marked. ( Uie city projwr, and whieli then commenced near Donne Street. At JJiis t moment bo heard the report of a mus- , ki t behind him, and the whistle of a / ■ added s still more startling *n- ' nation. Ill* first impulse was to turn ; In pursuit of tho assassin; hut Uhi t roed was much emcumhcrcd Kith Tiraps i of rubbish, and tho surrounding fields ] so vague and Indefinite in the distance , ' dist-mragod tho pursuit. For a soli- j lory indivldnal to attempt llio arrest , of a murderer w as absurd; and a* he , ' Hence ho turned to bis onward path, t bo: under the excitement of tlie abrm . his pace quickened rapidly, and ho was approaching Broadway, when Maiden- , " ho caught a view of tho man in the , ' far cap.

The figure ( ' walking at tho same rapid stop and ' with the tame threatening air cs be- , ' fere, and ss it |w*oc*l him ho thought 1 could hear whisper* of vengeance. , 1 This might have I veil a mistake; hut , ' was enough to hare seen thst feared , and horrid countenance, which he ; could not loutish from his mind. II- ; ' soon reached hit room, and vainly en- , lldgavored lo seek repots; but the evcutn , ptf tho past night awoke a nervous cx- ' * citemont of lulouae degree— the festive , j scenes of the supper and the visit at Kirtle Grove, In contrast with murder ' on binreeIC, and Uie repeated apparition , 3 Of this abject of dread The effect cf . ' all this wnx easily seen when the rnp1 tain once more made his appearance ' In public. The stale of his mind was 0 now shown by its effect on his body, and his friend* began ta remark this relapse; hot still Ii. «rereto present ' to the world > cdnfldrnt and chterful \ tr.-sriug.

Raymond and the New YorkPreas."] st In September, 1R54, the Collina T steamer Arctic was lost at sea. tk . Among the passenger* were ronuy ] ai prominent citizens of New York, and ci ( the news of the drcadftfl shipwreck th carried poignant sorrow lo hundreds cc . Af households. Early in October, re j when Uie steamer had been long over- ei, . due at tbo port of New York, on her T . return voyage from Liverpool, vague at . apprehensions of disaster began to lu prevail; and, as day after day pasac-d E without Udings of the missing vessel, a . wild rumors filled Uie air. From day ot I to day Uie fraliug of dread became tfa , intensified, ami the excitement hourly nf Increased. Finally, late on the night IU _ of tlie tenth of October, a rumor sud- . denly spread through the city to the . efli-ct that tlie Arctic had actually u, , Iron lost; that Ua-re had been a fear- . ful loss of human lives; that a solitary ,t f survivor had returned, and tluit Uiis c( r survivor had brought aulhcuUc Intel- p , llgenco of that disaster. This report reachol tho car of the K . assistant who was then In charge of the „ . city department ol Tit Ti'siu; but it ol , rcacbwl him at an advanced hour ofthc ,n . night, when nli but himself had finishnl r their labors and had returned to their U| I homes. Sending reporter* out in all q _ directions, with strict cliarge to sjinre ^ . no pains in sifting the rumors of the qI night, he stroi-o lo gather authi title w . intelligence, but the effort was ftiUle. ^ f The ' reporters returned wiUt news n . mints could he fonnd. A |uragrapli [ was accordingly written, announcing In guarded phrase, that nin-.xr* of the . ! total loss ofthc A ret ta had Inn cur- J i ing of a definite character wa* known. '' . This announcement, plncrel in a pro- ,, , inlneot port of 2*« Tuwt, under a di* a . played heading, seas all Uiat il was ci , possible to say. Discomfited, dlscour- ? r aged and apprehensive, the head of J I the city dqartment then dejiartni for it Rut the advcnlurea and the excite- '* 1 ments of the night were uot deatinrd J, i to Im so s|ic«ilily finished.

Scarcely hail the car gone a half mile r from II* starting-point, when a stranger, hurriedly coming down a side s street, jumped upon the rear platform, "• . evidently in an excited state, anil began a conversation with tlie conductor ' - in Uie hurried aud incoherent manner 1 . of a man who had simultaneously " ". heard startling news and hail indulged X in conviviality. The disjointed sen- " ; fences which fell from the 11)m of thta " s man furuished a cluo to tin- watchful " r ear; whose hearing was as painfully cj . acute as his professional pride was 1 - seriously wounded— fur defeat In the f t pursuit of news sits heavily upon the ^ soul of a newspaper itRn.

TAe "copy" was cut up Into fuur"takes;" in an hour the whole was in type; and the people of Herald, blissfully unconscious that a copy of that journal hud been adroitly abstracted, withheld all their circulation until nine o'cloek lu morning, tending off only the mall copies containing the loug expected relaUon of tho dreadful disaater. By eight o'clock la tho morning TAe waa procurable at all the news stands Id the dty, and IU subscriber, liad received the news an hour before-.

Mr. Kaymoud, catering fhUy into the spirit ofthc occasion, volunteered his services aa reporter, and for ono day actually put bimscll under the orders of the city editor who had the matter charge. It is needles* to add tlial Mr. Raymond's report was the best of all.
