private source, that the project for promoting the
immigration Of Indians into the island of Cuba from
Yucatap, which approved Of by the authorities in
Havana has not, thus far, been attended with that
success which was expected The agent who

thorzed to engage the services of 1900 Individuals
eco men and 800 women, found the Indians totally
disinclined TO expatriste themselves The govern.
ment Of Cuba was SO ssnguine that the project would
be consummate that vessel equipped for the trans

the ports OF Yucatan on her arrival the agent above
alluded to wrote bis friends that he feared the
Indians would not emigrate.

The recent case of peculation on the part of a
clerk in our city Post Office, Richard Key, has
attracted much attention, and ! learn that the
amount falls but little short OF $4,000 As Is
quite unusual IN such cases, he was very saving
with the fruits Of his thefts, having invested the
money in real estate. He had left the Post Office
about two weeks previous to his detection, hav-
ing thrown up his situation on the plea OF Ill
health. Having the full confidence of the Post
master and all the clerks, he was still admitted
occasionally to the interior of the office, and re-
Gently shortly after his visit, package containing
$1,000 addressed TO Messrs Lee & Johnson, was
missing from their box. This caused general in
vestigauon Key was arrested, charged with the
theft, and confessed. The amount stolen has all
been recovered, and Key bound over TO appear be-
fore the district court The accused has been uni
versally esteemed by all who knew him; but there
must be black heart in him who could thus
throw all his associates n the office under suspi-
elOn, with so little conscientious computations.
