STAGE !SORBERy

Night before las, at nine o'clock. the
Whlhail stage started from the hotelin this
village Tor Albany. 1t had not proceeded
more than half Il mile beore some daring
villains cut the baggage straps. and. i'm The
course otthe next half mile, took ofl'6 valua
bic trunks. They left two others of un-
common size aud weight. the last OF
which, suddenly falling to the ground.
madea noise that attracted the attention
of the passengers, who were thus furtu-
nately appraised of their loss in less than
Is minutes after it occurred The alarm
was Immediately given, which thus pre-
vented The villains, from carrying off the
rest of their intended booty. The night
was very dark, but swift messenger
having been dispatched TO the village to
announce the robbery, in few moments
a great lumber of citizens were search
ing tor the lost property with lanthorns 8;
torches along the road, behind the fem
ces, and IN the adjacent fields During
dllIgent search of about three hours.
four OF the trunks, and happily the most
valuable ones, were found unopened.
having been secretcd i'll as many different
places near the road The search was
perseverlngiy continued last night, and
by morning both the other trunks were
found; both had been carried conside-
bic distance, iii different directions. and
cut open, one entirely empiied, the other
had been left, probably in consequence
OF the close pursuit, before its contents
were taken out. 1t is worthy of remark,
that although there was cash 10 the a.
mount of $4,000 in the other trunks. the
two which were ritled contained nothing
but clothing and papers. We are truly
mortified that the records of our little
village should add 50 fragrant an instance
of bold, high handed felony to the cate
logue of atrocious villainies, which appear
OF late TO have been extending with inpa-
ralleled rapidity.

A BANK For T4E POOP


Among the many institution which are
established ut the present day, for the
mitigation OF human misery and misfor-
tune, the associations termed in EuroDe
SAVING BANKS" are perhaps not the
least important. In London, Liyerpool
and Edinburgh, they have been establish
ed and carried OH with great success. The
design OF these associations is extremely
simple. 1t is 10 afford IA secure place Of
deposit, Tor the earnings OF the laborino
part OF the community and, 1T the same
time, TO give them the benefit an accu-
mutation OF interest. The money depo-
sited III these Banks is invested in Ma
iIonal stock, or in such funds as 10 rem
der it perfectly secure and the business
Is managed by few benevolent and dis
interested individuals. These institute
ons having been attendedwith such sig
nal success III Great-Britain, MANY per-
sons have been DESTROYS of seeing similar
establishments IN this country.
more desirable mode of promoting
the Deneilt of the poorcannot perhaps be
devised. II tends TO encourage that love
OF independence, which, while it can oc-
caslonally receive the favors and bounties
OF fellow creature, is unwilling 10 relv
upon them for daily bread. A spirit of
providence and foresight will be excited.
which cannot fail 10 be in MANY RESPECTS

ii should be confided to men whose char
acter Tor probity and integrity would Sc
cure the confidence of those who would
probably deposit i'll this bank their sur

tablishing an Institution of this kind in

FROMIREI.AND

OF a private letter, from a gentleman of
the Bar in Ireland, to his friend in this
city from which it appears that Ireland
Is still governed as an ensIaved province.

The Author says, that treatises which
no man in Ireland dare publish or vend,
are openly sold in Westminster. OF
tract, entitled g State Of Europe" the au-
thor was obliged to cancel two paragraphs
before it could be published in London.
1t was written by an Irish gentleman of
erudltlon. The same author had written
a memoir on the " State of I,etrnd," and
it was printed; but the printer being me-
naced with prosecution i'll case of pub
lication, suppressed the work: but the
copies we're secretly circulated. Such is
the freedom of the press in the British
provinces.
IT Is unnecessary, (says the writer to
trouble You with the present state of af-
fairs. BY the most admirable manage
ment, Ireland is bankrupt nor will her
counsellors ever name the assignees. To
say that there is stagnatiOn, is to speak
falsely, tor the current is returning on lis
source. In Ireland, there are still potatoes
IN England, the people are desperate,
and the magnates are stunned. never
witnessed such an alteration i'm any small
district as in England in one wear, from
May 1915 to May 1916. Nothing supports
the goodiy empire, except the Prince Re-
gent and Lord Castlereagh, and may they
live to complete their work. By the bye
why should there not be an order of de
merit! Lord Castlereagh should be the
grand master. Really, if did not think
that Lord Castlereagh does more good
by doing more evil than any man, the
thought of that traitor would hasten nv
death"

mind is still active. The followingworks.

there, have lately appeared, and few
