I The JTatban Murder- A Bldleulous Episode. From the New York Times, Aofrust 11, It will be remembered that in the Rogercase, eighteen months evlagainst whom there was n?t a tittle otcvj See, were arrested for suspected coinpliclty in the assassination, and it has now been proved that the Nathan case is not to dose without similar exhibition ofstnpiditv on the part of the police. An arrest has at last been made in the affair, but its .only effect has l>een to relieve a woeful tragedy bv a farcical interlude. Very many people in (his city know Thomas Dunphy, a law-, ver 'it No. -1 Warren rtreet, called among bis host of friends Tom Dunphy, and greeted as a "hale fellow well met ? under almost anv circumstances. Duophj nas Seved the notoriety of being arrested as thp murderer of Benjamin Nathan. On Tne^dav evcniDg he was visiting soroo HcqSaTnSucS in Brooklyn, and singularly enough he seems to.hnve been known in the house as Mr. Gilbert. [He lived with a Mrs. Gilbert as her husband.] lhereason for this singular misconception on the part of persons with whom he was on call in0, J,.; ;L, not appear, but whatever may have been the cause, tfic fact added greatly to poor Tom's subsequent cmbamiSHmonU. Naturally enough, the convention turned to the Nathan murder, and Dtinpliy, who had read up the thSetlTo his legal acumen m dealing with the tacts to such alarming purpose that he soon convinced at least one of his hearers that such m acquaintance with the manner and put - lio^e ol the crime could be shown by no lierson but the unknown criminal himself. 1 earned and eloquent Tom Dunphy ^owed precisely how the murderer got into the house, and stated with marvellous mmiUeess everv act of the assassin, secured his retreat, be popped the do it the front door and pa^ed out into the lonely street. All tills the unfortunate Dunpliv, for the sake of i>i oci-o-ne" and dramatic effect, had related in t he iir?t person. A horritied young w oman, who in the next room overheard it all, and with blood curdled by lS(V i 1 "tl- ' u\Vn i i of the assassin who could thu? dilate up n his horrible deed, siipped oiit nj -, street to call the police. Oflicei 31m pn> . of the Fourth Precinct, was soon lound, and to him she made the startling announcement that she not only knew who murdered Mr. Nathan, but knew w he ro lie wa> at that moment; lie was a vil^nn nam^ (lilbert and was then m the house. Mm uhv was nothing loth to earn the grea. re{vardVawaSg the capturerof the assassin, and the voting woman piloting hitn on ^ the wav. lie marched into the room I and dumbfounded poor Dunpb} by sei/ii^ m bv the coat collar as Gilboit, ]V" niuiderer of Mr. Nathan. Dunphy tried? tough, hut seeing tluit tlie olhccr was in earnest he endeavored to explain, savin" bis name was Dunphy, and that lit was tellineof what lie had read inthenewjnapers. l>ut the othcer declaicd tlu? w.t ??too thin," and in spite of the prayers and ctrii 'trles of his prisoner carried lnni otl to police headquarters, and into of Chief of Police ( ampbeli. lb.it tuiu. tionarv listened to the story of the voting woman and the explanation ot ? and was then positively certain that he had in bis hands the great criminal ?>t the . The ' prisoner had two names, which w is in itself a suspicious nrctim-taiici . but he had also confessed In- crime, am. ? d a hang-dog look that continued if storv!

TnE Erie Railroad War Over. Commodore Vanderbilt, representing the Hudson River and Central railroads; Jay Gould, on behalf of Erie ; and the representatives of the Pennsylvania Central railway, met in Saratoga on Wednesday, and, it is understood, made an amicable settlement of their recent quarrels, and effected a satisfactory arrangement for the future in regard to their competing business. It is asserted by the Erie managers that the new arrangement will give a fair share of business to each line, and neither will have any advantage over the other. The interests of the three roads, they say, will be blended to the same effect as if one directorship controlled them all. The following dispatch to the New York Herald gives some additional particulars : "Long Branch , August 11.- Jay Gould, immediately on arrival here to-night, having consulted with Fisk on the wav, telegraphed several hundred words to William II. Vanderbilt. This, he tells me, was the clinching nail to the new arrangement between Central and Erie. It is a revolutionary railway movement, affecting every railroad interest in the country, inasmuch as the new agreement is a consolidation of all interests in any way affecting the two roads. The $5,000,000 suit is amicably adjusted. Alter sending his lengthy dispatch to Vanderbilt, Gould telegraphed the following significant dispatch to Scott, vice-president of the Pennsylvania Central ; " I have arranged a consolidation with the New York Central, which, of course, requires the acquiescence of all competing lines. When can you come to New York ? " Jay Gould.' " In explanation of this Mr. Gould says that formerly there was a consolidation of a few distinct interests, as live stock, & c., while the new consolidation affects every dollar of interest in the two roads. Jay Gould having been invited to Saratoga by parties interested In the Central, compels us to believe that the Central, and not the Erie, management made concessions.

On Friday afternoon, at Watson's bedstead factory, Ttockctts, Mr. Thomas X. Goodman, an employ^ of the establishment, was sharpening a bit on an emory grindstone. The stone bursted while rapidly revolving, and the fragments scatiered in every direction. One piece struck Mr. Goodman on the bead, just over the eye, inflicting a dangerous wound. Tie was at once taken to bis residence on Union Hill, and his wounds were properly dressed by Drs. Dickie and Ross. ( >n Saturday night the wounded man was considered in a critical condition. Encroachments Upon TnE Streets. ? On the loth of January last an ordinance was passed by the City Council which provides that whenever, in the newly-annexed portion oi the city, "nouses or porches which have been erected prior to the date of annexation, project over and encroach upon the public street a distance not exceeding three feet, the sutne may be allowed to continue until January 1, 1875 ; provided, however, that nil fences within said district shall be put upon the proper street line whenever I heir owners shall be notified by the City Engineer so to do. The duty imposed upon the Engineer is performed by an advertisement published this morning. Persons are notified that unless their fences are put in proper position the ordinance will lie rigidly enforced. Violations of Internal Revenue Laws. On Saturday the ease of George 1'.

Major Tracey, who was charged with selling a cow under false pretences to Elizabeth Johnson, was allowed to depart in peace. There being no evidence to prove that Albert Johnson (colored) stole a cow of the value ol $7"? from Robert Inge, he was honorably discharged. James I '. Robinson had a double-barrelled gun which was thought to be the property of some other person. For want of proof the charge hung lire, and the prisoner was discharged. Richard Harris and William Smith (colored lads) were charged with throwing stones at the house of Turner Frayser. Dick was lined and Uill discharged. Philip Lee, a wandering refugee from Prince George county jail, was sent down to await being called for. Michael Sliortel, for playing clerk of the market and attempting to extort money from one John Brown (colored). Mike not being able to collect Brown's tax for selling in the market, confiscated a quart of butterbeans. Michael intended this as a practical joke. The charge against him was dism^scd, but the little bit of fun stood him in the sum of $1.10 costs. Emclinc Coleman (colored) was pulled up for creating a disturbance in the house of sister Betsy Thomas and assaulting her. Emma putin an appearance yesterday to answer a similar complaint. She was discharged with the understanding that she should go to jail next time. Mary Daugherty abused Mrs. Kelley, and Mrs. lielley dittoed Mrs. Daugherty.

Harvie bids fair to be one of our most thriving suburbs. It is a pretty village, in a healthful location, near the Hollywood terminus of the city railway, and already has a population respectable in numbers as well as in other respects. The Sugar Refinery. ? We are informed that the Virginia State Sugar Refinery will recommence operations iu a few days. Every arrangement, we understand, necessary to the vigorous working of the estal>lishinent has been made. It is an important branch of manufacture to this city, and it will be gratifying to the trade to learn that it is about to be renewed. The Penalty of Not Joining a Society.? Saturday morning Henry Jones, a colored man, living in Kelly's alley, betweeu Jefferson ana Madison streets, died of acute pneumonia. Although there were four negro men in the house, the wife of the deceased could not induce either of them to assist her in shrouding the corpse. Nor was she able to prevail upon any of her colored male neighbors to do the work. Finally some women took compassion upon her and performed the duty. The secret of this neglect may probably he found in the fact that the dead negro did not belong to any " society," and was not, therefore, considered entitled to Christian rites. - Personal.?

The Lono-Haibed, Poibonous Caterpillar. ? The attention of our citizens is called to the fuct that a venomous caterpillar, infesting trees and vines, has made its appearance in our . city, whose bite is attended with the most painful and dangerous effects. The animal presents a unique appearance. It has an oblong, triangular body, which is often entirely concealed by a dense covering: of lone, light brown hair. This hair is so fine in its texture, and so dense, that it has the silky appearance of the humming-bird's feathers. It grows over the whole body, except the abdomen and face, but it is sb long that the animal can at will lap it over those regionsso closely as to hide them completely. At its lower extremity this long hair forms a tail-like appendage. The animal varies in size, being of minute dimensions at first, but when attaining its usual growth measuring an inch and a quarter long by a half-inch in diameter through the middle, its hairy coat included. The bite of this caterpillar is followed by the most violent and excruciating auony, which appears in a few minutes after its reception. The pain passes, as described by the patient, from the site of the injury to the regiou of the heart, and thence radiates over the whole system. It attacks the patient in violent paroxysms, during which it is so intense that he struggles and writhes in the most agonizing manner, and seems to be partially delirious. The pulse and temperature of the skin arc not materially altered. .. In the case of Mrs. Ware, on Marshall street, lately bitten by this venomous insect, the pain continued violently for nine hours, resisting the free employment of brandy, ammonia, etc., but finally yielded to the' introduction of a third of a grain of sulphate of morphine, in solutiou, beneath the skin. In twelve minutes after this hypodermic injection was practiced, the patient fell asleep and slept calmly for several hours ; but feeling some, pain in the night, the hydrate ot chloral was administered with the most salutary effects. She is now convalescent. One of the physicians in attendance on the case, but who conceals his name to avoid notoriety, lias furnished these details for the benefit of the public and his profession. It is his opinion that the bite of.this insect, in the case of young children, would produce convulsions, and perhaps death. Specimens of this caterpillar can be seen at our office.
