! GREAT RoBBERY Several burglarics have
been committed at LIE Roy, Gcnesce county
n. Y, the porpctrator of which for a long
time remained undiscovered. One William
&. Grummon, "A youth of nineteen years, fol
some time employed in the printing Office o
the lie Roy Gazette, is at length identified as
the burglar, of whom the Gazette gives in
substance the following account -
lie commenced his career by making bills al
the grocery, and not being able to pay from his
stipulated allowance, thought he would steal q
little to keep matters straight, and be as liberal
as other young men of his age in such places.
From this, he broke open one and then anoth-
er of the gris,mills where he knew money was
kept, and took from SO to $50. Then he
devised and carried out the plan of robbing
Mitchell IL Roycc's store, IN this place, OF
some hundred dollars worth of goods. lie
soon after abandoned printing and took to ped
ding trinkets and fancy articles with hand
trunks. Several trips were made with these
trunks, during which, II is supposed, he drew
his supplies from such places as opportunities
offered. About year ago he commenced
work at his trade again in this Office, where
his quiet manner and unostentatous bearing as
usual secured for him the respect and conf
dcnce of his employer and Office mates.
Toward the close of his engagement here,
his conduct was not altogether without suspi-
con. He went to Troy in the early part of
last summer, where he followed his trade for a
short time. From Troy, he sent home con-
siderable amount of money. The office where
he was employed was robbed of $50 during
his stay there. Soon the post Office at Brock
port was entered and robbed, and clothing
store about the same time was broken into and
large amount of clothing taken, which was
afterwards found in barn in that village
He then stole horse and proceeded to lie
Roy, pursued by the constables, and the horse
was found under the mill shed of SOlon Has
kins, about twenty rods from his fathers resi-
dcnce but he made n hair-brcadth escape and
was not heard from again for several weeks.
About three weeks ago the dry goods store
of j. Darling, III this village, was broken open
and many valuable goods carried away. This
burglary remained mystery until Grummon
was arrested in Rochester a few days after
while entering the cars for an Eastern trip
He was conveyed to jail, where he owned that
he had committed all the robberies that had
been charged upon him. He directed Mr.
Darling 10 a straw stack in Mr.. Sayagc's yard
half mile west of this village, where large
share of the goods We're found.
The inside of the stack presented a com
pete set of rooms where he had deposited his
stolen treasure and where he had rcsorted for
shelter when pursued. The aperture or en-
trance to the stack was admirably con,rvcd to
elude detection. He had provisions, candles,
builalo-robcs, firearms, and all the parapher-
MALTA of night-robbcr, in his secluded den.-
Goods stolen two years ago were found there,
which doubtless had been often shifted for safe
keeping.

AN INDIAN DEvoURED by WoLvEs.-A
friend informs us that on the 9th instant, Jim
Shongo, an athletic Indian and skillful hunter
of the Cattaraugus tribe, on the Allegany riv-
or, took the woods from his wigwam, in search
of game Not having returned ON tn. follow
ing day, party of the tribe started in search
of him. They soon struck and followed his
track to where he had shot deer. On taking
the trail where he had dragged it, they discov-
cred that pack of six wolves had struck in
and were ahead. The pack overlook Shango
within few rods of the Indian camp, near the
head of the Nine Mile Run, where the party
found that the poor fellow had had dreadful
and fatal encounter. Nothing could be found
but the head and an arm of the Indian, and the
head and feet of the deer. Jm's rifle was ly-
ing near, with the breech broken into several
pieces, and every evidence of a most desperate
struggle. Courier.

PUERPERAL INsAsITY.-Mrs. Cole murder
ed her husband a few weeks since, in Sails
bury, North Carolina, by cutting his throat
while he lay asleep. Investigation proved
that the unhappy young woman was laboring
under what is called childbirth mania, having
become a mother only a short time before the
fatal act was committed ; the arrangement
of her intellect having been aggravated, prob
ably, by the death of her infant. She was
discharged or rather surrendered to the care
of her relatives, they giving security to keep
her safely.
