ARREST FOR MAIL RoBBERy.-A young man by
the name of Grimes, clerk in the Post Office at
Waterford, New York, has been arrested on a
charge of having purloined letters and packages
from that office, and from the United States mails
The frequent complaints of losses in that part of
New York, induced the Postmaster General to
instruct the special agent of the Department for
that State, to go over the route, with view to
detect, if possible, the author, authors of these
repeated depredations. His mission resulted IN the
detccuonfand arrest of the above named clerk, who
has since been examined before the u. 5. Commits
sioner, and bound over for trial. So completely
successful were the means employed by the agent,
that Grimes has, we understand, made. confess
tons The confidence of the public in the safety
of the mails WILL doubt not, be greatly increas-
ed by such prompt and successful efforts by the
Post Office Department, to protect the community
in the important matter of their correspondence,
and valuable remittances.

Police Intelligence.

A Singular Charge Of Faise Pretences.-Mr George
Relyea OF the independent police, No 100 Broadway
aided by officer Edwards of the Sd district police
rested, yesterday young man by the name OF Henry
down town. a warrant issued by Justice Osborne
wherein he stands charged with obtaining from Mr.
Josiah Jex brother, merchants No % South street.
81 100 under the following circumstances 1T appears
that about the 1st Of March, the accused shipped 20
bales Of moss to France at nvoiccd price of 10 cents
per pound valued ut 81 500. Upon this invoice Cutp
obtained an advance Of 81 900 from MIR. Willet In
Pearl street. the property shpped bill was then
drawn house in France for that amount, which
bill returned protested, ut the same time setting
forth that the moss was not worth more than cents
pound instead of 10 cents, invoice. Upon the
return Of this draft Mr. Wilet called upon Mr.. Cutlip
for the money the whole affair appeared to be Of
fraud Cutlip then becoming alarmed, agreed to pay
back the money, and applied to Mr. Jex to borrow the
money. Mr. Jex, in order to accommodate him, gave
him his check for $1,000 ond 500 in silver and took
Cutps note for the amount at 80 days. With this
money Cutlip paid back Mr. Wilett; since which time
II has been ascertained that the only worth
cents per pound which was all Cutlip paid, and the
representation made by him that he paid Is cents per
pound is alleged to be false and untrue. The whole
matter will be further Investigated on hearing before
the magistrate Mir. Cutlip detained to answer.

himself William ii. Hunter, alias Smith, alias Post was
arrested yesterday by officer Davies of the 9th ward,
charge of stealing horse valued at 500, belong
ing to Mr. George r. Weir No. 3S Charlton street 1t

street for $40 The accused identified as the in
yidua who hired the horse and Justice Mountfort com

The returns in regard to employment were not
complete-but of 6l6,5l4 actually retuned-com-
prsing above 100000 heads of families, IT appears
that there are engaged in professions, ST.; in
trade and commerce, including handicrafts, l73;
in agriculture, S,4l7 aborers, ii l35 in facto-
ries, 1856. Teachers must not be included in those
engaged in professions, they alone are not much
below 5000; but as few of them are heads of ia
miles, they mus4have been left out in this account.
More than twothirds of the whole families, it thus
appears, are supported by agriculture
The progress which has been made In education
within the last few years, is one OF the most gra-
tifying results shown by the census In 1872, the
number of colleges and high schools was A, and
of elementary schools, 927. In l84S, the number
of high schools was 80. We suppose this decline
has arisen from the drawing off many pupils to
larger institutions which have lately sprung up.
The common schools have increased from 927 to
2,464. The children attending school have in
creased in proportion.
In 1912, the number of boys, under A. attending
scnool was. '..''. '.''.-.'' !o,aoo
In 1S4S, the number was 1851
In 1872 the attendance Of girls was. 1916
In 1S47, the number WAS ............ S4,eso
The ages of children attending school gene
rally from to Is. In 1912, Y per cent of the
children within those limits were at school; in
l84s, AZ per cent This is great and gratifying
improvement-bu it is yet but an approach to ge-
neral education, and it is to be hoped that every
succeeding year will bring nearer to that deslra-
BILE end.
RELIGIOUS CENSUS.
