Exc,,eucps In Fairfield.

We took flying trip for health-sake to Fairfield
last Friday. During the night we stopped there
great excitement seemed to prevail in consequence
Of most singular robbery that had been committed
Z day or two before. It seems that Mr. James Craw-
ford entrusted an axe box, containing $2,ls2 II, in
gold, silver and paper, to two young men, who were
to take it to Keokuk. From a statement Of one OF
the young menwe learned that he did not know that
there was money in the box. His companion made
him believe that at was old type, which he was ia
king down to be exchanged for new. The first
night they stopped at a tavern, and the young man
who knew what the contents were, took the box,
into his room. The other expressed some surprise
At his being careful Of it, il it was nothing but
old type. The next night they stopped at Richard
owns Hotel, eleven miles from Keokuk. Instead
Of taking the box into their sleeping room, it was
covered with cloak in the bar room, with other
baggage. In the morning on lifting the cloak, the
box was missing. The young man into whose es-
pecal care the box was committed, was arrested at
Keokuk on suspicion. Nothing was proved against
him other than that he up three times during
that night, and the matter still remains mystery.
