MAIL ROBBERY.

Several weeks since, NJ. s. BARROW, Esq,
n merchant of this town, having occnsion 10
send seven hundred dollars TO the Farmers
Bnuk, Troy N. ", 10 meet note soon TO
fall due, deposited Il parcel continuing that
amount Of bank bills in the Post Office in this
village directed to Troy, New York.
The money not reaching It's destination and
protest of the note followed rs II matter of
course, the conclusion was inevitable that
tho money Ind been distracted from the
mail Notice of this robbery was forwarded
10 tho Department in Washington, aud a
Government Agent promptly came to ferret
ont the affair. This gentleman, J. iloLBEooK,
Esd, rCputCd to no Il mar Of rare tact and
shrcwdncss IN nftnirs Of the kind and one
who had had more than u dozen years Of
experience besides, has been actively engaged
tor several weeks past in probing this mysle-
rious matter to the bottom Every Post Mas
ter between st. Adams and Troy has been
examined aud without any prospect Of ind-
ing the missing money
BUT, strange 10 say-Mondny's mail
brought package directed "St Adams" on
the wrapper aud within the cnyc!op, "M.-
barrow, Merchant, -. Adams, VI"
The address was printed with pen in
very odd but legihle style ; but there was no
post mark to identify tho Post Office from
which il was sent But what was more 10
the purpose, it contained bank bills, very diff
ftrent IN their denominations from those in
the parcel forwarded by Mr. barrow, but Of
the tiH amount ot'He loss.
Mr. Ilolbrooks sIrewdness will, of course
be called into requisitiom once moro to as

Thrilling Incident.

The great Wig gathering at old Fort lIar-
rison, near Terre llautc, Indiana, on the 9th
of September, the anniversary Of Tnylor's
glorious defence of that post, must have been
Il magnificent and imposing assembagr.-
The Wabash Express gives full details ofthe
proccedings-sayiug that while many csii-
mate the numbers present at 10000, it "con
only say that about twenty acres ola grove
seemed literally janmed, willie the adjoining
prairie had living beings Gfbolh sexes, horses
wagons, carriages, Sc. scattered pretty much
all over IT," Ono ,io,agalion alone took two
hours 10 pass over the Wabash bridge.
\ correspondent of the State Journal re.
lntes the following:
Gov. Letcher made most happy address,
and particularly gratifying to his Wing hear
ers. lie depicted, in the most glowing col
ors, the stern aud unboumdhg honesty, and
the many eminent qualifications of General
Taylor for the Presidency. While speaking
of the gallant defence Of Fort Harrison, by
then Lieut.. Taylor, aud his brave huic band
orsoldicrs, an incident occurred which can
not omit mentioning. A venerable lady was
present, who was in the Fort at tho time Of
the siege, and assisted IN moulding bullets for
the soldiers. While Gov. l.. was dwelling
upon the almost fororn hope Of the garrison,
aud paying It high compliment Gen. Taylor,
the old lady became much excited, and with
teurs streaming down her checks, raised her
arms and cried out in Il loud voice--"Glory
to God, and everlasting thanks to Gen. Tay-
lor." The effect was electric. The shout
that went up from the multitude was one Of
no ordinary kind.
