MAIL RoBBERY.-The Blairsville, Pa. Apala-
Chan of Wednesday says 1--WE learn that
Young man named Stanley, son of the Postmaster
at Duncanville, has been arrested on charge OF ab-
stracting money from the mail. The circumstan-
ces az we have learned them, are as follows:
On the 9Th of December last, and also on the
18th letters containing a considerable amount IN
bank notes and drafts, were mailed at this place
for persons in Philadelphia, by whom they were
never received, and inquiry was set on foot TO as.
certain where the loss had taken place. A mail
agent, after some delay travelled the route, max
ing examinations, but being unable to gain any
clue TO the discovery Of the money or its aostrac-
tor. finally gave it up. Two letters were written
at different times by one of the losers to friend
in Holidaysburg, stating the facts anddescrlbing
the money, neither Of which reached their destl-
nation.
This faction being discovered, renderedit certain
this embezzlement occurred between Bairsvllle
and Holldaysburg, and young Stanley being OBJ
served to have more money than usual, was sus-
pected of having some connection with the mat
ter; and when il was further ascertained that he
bad exchanged in Hollidaysburg for small notes,
500 bill answering the description OF one OF the
stolen ones an officer was sent 10 arrest him. lie
had left Duncansville, bat was pursued and taken
on last Saturday, and has been committed to await
bis trial.

were sent as follows By Hart x Co. $500 Jas.
Baird New Derry $500 NJ. Graf, slOoi L.
Martin s225 NJ. Graf q Co S47. None OF the
money has been recovered. The remittances OF

sequence they had gained but few furs during the

goods on credit; that they had no powder, tobac-
co, or anything to eat, and that they could not by
reason Of their poverty, ask further credit from
the traders, unless they knew how to pay them.
Little Curly Head also spoke, and urged
the Governor to have the line separating their
country from that of the Winnebagoes properly
aseertained and to see that it was respected.
The Governor replied ia kindly spirit and in

MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT FALL HIyER-GREkr
ExcITEMEST.-The excitement in Fall River has
run very high on account of the death OF young
man under very singular circumstances. The
story is thus told by a correspondent OF the Bos-
ton Tr0velier.
"The Mysterious Rappings' and tippings for
the last two or three weeks have produced SO
much excitement here that almost every street
has its house where the spirits most do congre-
gate. Last evening" SABBATH several persons
were assembled at the house Of Mr.. Gardner, on
Anawan.st TO witness the tippiDgs and move
ments of table; among whom was young man
by the name of Bayes Staples When he en-
tered the room where the company were assem-
bled in somewhat excited manner ne said using
some awful oaths) TO Mr.. Gardner, Il have broke
two tables to-day, and now have come 10 break
yours
He soon after commenced operating upon the
table, and being a powerful medium he pro.
duced an unusual effect, and while in the act OF
producing the greatest movements in the table, he
suddenly fell ppon the floor and instantly expired.
amid tie greatest CONSERVATION OF those present.
Dr. Hooper was Immediately called IN and pro-
nounced him dead MIR. Staples was healthy,
robust man, about 25 years Of age, and his death
can be attributed TO no cause bat extreme excite
ment.'
After all, it turns out that there is nothing so
very marvellous about this man s death. The post
mortem examination disclosed the fact that he
had long had disease Of the heart, and that las
has happened in thousands ofsuch cases when be
became greatly excited, the effect was fatal. Cases
of this kind happen from various kinds OF excite
ment with like results.
