BANK BILLS sToLEN-sIz. OOO.

BANK BILLS STOLEN-S17, 900.
Here is a new mystery for the vigilance
and ingenuity of the public. The Milbury
Bank having for some length of time neg
lected to send for its bills which had accu-
INFLATED at the Suffolk Bank, Boston, some
two years since, furnished Mr.. Leonard, the
conductor of the Express, with orders TO call
and take them. That agent did So
The bills were delivered in two packages.
one containing S2l 600, the other ST.
coo. Mr.. Leonard brought the packages TO
this place and deposited them in his safe at
one o'clock, p. Nj. until the hour for the de-
parture of the downward train, half past
four o'clock They were then placed in the
hands of one Of the agents, and upon the
arrival of the cars at Mibury branch road,
were delivered to the conductor of that
track, who upon the arrival in MiIbury pass
ed them into the charge of the Cashier at
the Bank
The package Of sol 600 was opened for
use. but the package, there being no inn
mediate occasion for it, was deposited I'M
opened in the vault.
Last week the Milbury bank received no.
tice from the Suffolk, that upon its account
in Boston the former stood overdrawn the
sum of $4,000. To this the bank re-
piled that it was impossible, as from the
books was most clearly true. On Saturday,
however, after noticing that the Milbury
bills had been coming in at Boston very
rapdly-the President of the Suffolk came
to Milbury for an examination into the mat

Upon looking at the books of the Bank
Il appeared TO the satisfaction of the Presi-
dent of the Suffolk and the Cashier OF the
Milbury, that bills Of the latter must have
been stolen. The Cashier then went into
the vault and brought out the SI7 900
package and broke its seals-and it was
found 10 be filled with blank bro,cn paper of
the size of bank bills The Suffolk seals
and superscription, as we are informed,
were readily identified by the President
Somewhere, then and where THAT is the
mystery--the sum of sI7 200 had been
taken from the package, and slips of paper
substituted.
Ofthe Milbury bills which had so rapidly
accumulated at the Sufiok-amountng in
all to about SIS, 600, while the then legit-
mate circulation of the bank was but little
rising Of SI0,000-we understand that
$3.50 went down from the Springfield
bank, and Sl050 from the banks in Wor-
cester, aud considerable sum from the
Hartford banks. 1t is hoped that the actors
IN this mysterious departure OF bank funds
will yet be discovered Worcester .Egis.
A case of 'polygamy" has occurred in
Boston, which excites much attention, and
sympathy with the defendant Mrs Mehitable
Marsh. This lady was married to Mr..
Marsh, and after some time the husband left
her. She wrote to him at various places,
but received no answer, aud was unable to
obtain any information which would lead
her or her friends to believe that her hus-
band was alive She married again at the
end of three and three quarters of year
after her husbands departure
Some one who wished to make trouble
for her ascertained, after some time, that the
first husband was alive Mrs NJ. then
separated from her new connection Her
enemies informed against her as having vio-
lated the statute which prescrbes seven
years as the time 10 constitute widowhood
The purity of the womans intentions was
admitted, but the law was plain, and she
was pronounced guilty. The penalties are
severe; but it is thought that the Governor
of Massachusetts will relieve her from these
penalties on account of ignorance of her
real husbands existence PAiIadeIDhia T..
