NEAia Robbery.

This morning, upon opening freight car load
ed with wheat at tie warehouse of Messrs. OTIs,
KNIGHT & Co., a mail bag was found, broken open,
and numerous letters scattered about. The depu-
ty Postmaster was Immediately sent for, who took
charge of the concern. Upon examination, the
mail proved to have been forwarded from New
York, Oct 1S6h, to indianapolis, as distributing
office The robbery was evidently committed at
Versailles, whence the wheat started on its
journey to this city. He got possession Of the
bag in some manner, took it into the car and riled
it at his leisure. 1t has remained lying there qu-
etly ever since:
The bill accompanying the bag calls for 81 let
ters, none of which are missing. All but II let
ters are broken open, and it is little singular that
every letter was opened with care, and the con-
tents returned in each instance to the right enve-
ope Among them are found several checks,
promissory notes, land warrant for l6O acres, a
pension warrant for 90 acres, receipt upon life
insurance policy from the New York Life Insu-
rance Company, and two policies from the Proyi-
dence Insurance Company, (Nos. 1924 and l225)
one for $4,000 and the other for 1925. None OF
the letters speak of money, and it is highly prob
able that the thief got nothing for his pains

For the Portage Sentinel
Death Of Henry WI. GTenmcli.

BRADY LODGE, No. 1873, is now for the first time
called upon to mourn the loss of deceased broth
er. HENRY M. GRENNELL, p. G. and p. S., who
died on the 2lst inst. at 2 o'clock, P. NJ, at
Franklin, Portage Co., Ohio, was one of our char

its existence, until enfeebed by sickness, was ev-

Although it is impossible for US to express by
words the deep sorrow we feel on account of the
loss of SO worthy brother, yet we happy to
render public testimonial of our regard for one

speak of him in terms of the highest praise; There
fore,
Resolved, That in the death of Bro. HENRY n
GRENNELL we have lost member of this Lodge
who was endeared to us by the closest ties of
brotherly love--a kind friend and companion, one

ever ready to cheerfully and faithfully discharge
all duties devolving upon hm-one to whom an
afflicted brother could go for aid and censolaton
and be sure to find hand ever open to charity,
confding, warm and sympathizing heart. His
Il
and TRUTH His heart, indeed was lit up with a
friendship so noble, that even the cold one which
had no sympathy, looked upon him with admira-
ton. with love warm as to melt the heart har-
dened by prejudice and hatred, with truth so
brilliant and infiexbe that falsehood and deceit
never sought lurking place within it. An hon
or to our order, an honor to his friends, and most
worthy example for all brothers to follow who are
desirous of living up to the true principles of Odd
Fellowship.
ResotUed That the emblems Of this Lodge be

from this date, and that brothers wear badges Of
mourning on the left arm for the same period
Reso'ued, That the sincere thanks of this Lodge
be and hereby rendered to the brothers of 9TH
er Lodges who assisted in performing for Bro.

Most of our readers are doubtless aware that
difficulty has existed in the ranks of the Democ-
racy of the Empire State ever since the nomina-
ton of Gen. CAss in l848. The defeat of the
Van Burenites at the Baltimore Convention, en-
gendered an i'll feeling between that faction, and
the Cass party, whom they denomnated as the
Hunker party, and received in turn the title of
Barnburners by the opposition.
The President, in the distribution of Offices,
recognized no factions nor divisions but rewarded
bunker and barnburner, soft and hard equally de
signing to promote the harmony of the entire par
ty. This displeased the hardshell or bunker fac
ton, of which one of the most prominent leaders
is Judge Bronson, whom the President had ap
pointed Collector of New York the most lucrative
post perhaps,in the gift of the Government. The
course pursued by Judge Bronson in relation to the
divisions in the party, was considered by the ad-
ministration njudicious, and an admonltory let
ter was written by Secretary Guthrie which
was received without any improvement and the
Collector latter refusing any accommodation in the
matter, was removed Let the consequences be
what they may, we are glad to the President
have the fortitude to act promptly in the matter,
and carry out the policy indicated in the coming
in Of the Administration. And with all the noise
and confusion which may be raised by the ada
mantine wing of the party, in the removal OF
Judge Bronson, there is little to fear in the end
One thing is certain, will wonderfully strength
en- the "softs'' and have great influence on that
portion who are 'son the fence.'' The ''hards''
seeing that their occupations gone" will discov-
er that their friends are going too. We think
the design of the President right, in bestowing
favors upon the entire party, without regard to
faction. This displeased the "hards" and the pres
ent difficulty the result.

Forgery.


A man by the name D. w. Van Aerman is i'm
prisoned in New York, charged with obtaining
$4,000, on forged draft from a branch of the
Bank of Montreal, Canada. The draft was sign
ed John Abel, Cashier, and was an order on H.
K. Stowe of the Troy City Bank, for the sum of
$4,000.
This Mr.. Van Aerman is supposed to be the
same gold-spectacled, silk-stockened, kid-gloved
gentleman who came it over the Cashier of the
Ravenna Bank on his own draft on a fictitious
firm in Boston, some two years ago when our own
citizens, on good endorsed paper could not make
raise. In Michigan he succeeded in obtaining
$4,000, by similar operation. John w. Abell,
who is supposed to be his accomplice, was born and
raised in Warren, is a salesman in New York or
was up to this occurrence, he is in the city
prison. .. ......-..-.......

KoszrA STILL IN PRIsoN-lt appears from a
letter in the New York Evening Post, dated at
Constantinople, Oct. 9, that Mr.. Ofley, the
American Consul at Smyrna, protested against
Koszta's release on the conditions prescribed by
Baron de Bruck and acceded to by Mr.. Marsh;
and refused to demand it of the French consul up
on such terms. Koszta himself, it is said took
the same view af the case, and refused to be lib
Grated on those conditions, and at the date spec-
fed, he still remained in prison. The following
is an extract from the Posts letter;
although this arrangement (between Baron de
Bruck and Mr.. Marsh) appears liberal on the
part of Austria, and honorable to the United
States, it is said here that the Consul of the Uni
ted States at Smyrna has Frefused to demand
Koszta's release from the French hospital in
which he is closely confined and strictly guarded,
on the ground that the Austrian Government
should not be allowed to state i'll it any reserva-
ton of "rights,' and be required to admit the IL
legality of his arrest. The Consul requires that
Koszta shall be, now, abandoned by Austria, and
acknowledged by her as being an American citi-
zen Until then, he refuses to claim him of the
French Consul, and refuses to obey the instruc-
tons of the American Minister on the subject, oi
his arrangement of Koszta's immediate release,
whilst his nationality is under discussion by the
two Governments. 1t is also said that he has put
up Koszta to protest against the American Minis
ter. and to refuse to leuve his prison and be re-
stored to freedom in :he United States.

Dreadful shipwreek--aOO Lives Los


We regret to have to record some scanty par
ticulars Of one of the most disastrous shpwrecks
caused by the late gale. We refer to the total
loss of the ship Annie Jane. Capt. Mason, bound
from Liverpool to Quebec, with goods and passen
gers. 3
This really fine ship left the Mersey on the 9th
of September, and about thirty hours after her de-
parture was spoken off the northwest coast of
ireland. During the prevailing violent gales,
however, she was dismasted and was totally lost
on the night of the 28th of September, on Barra
Island. Upwards Of three hundred of the passen-
gers and crew have persisted.
From letter received by the owners from the
captain, we learn that during the succession of
heavy gales he was drifted as far north as lat 60
and that on the above night, with strong wester.
ly gale, he was not able to clear the land Ell
ther tack, In FIVE minutes after she struck, the
ship was dashed to atoms, and only lO2 OF the
ws-ole complement of crew and passengers saved
The captain had sent by another conveyance q
list of those rescued, which has not yet come tc
hand. About six hours after the melancholy ca
tastrophe, the captain was washed on part of the
poop deck, very much bruised, but fortunately h'
is at present to great extent recovered, and ha
made arrangements for sending the survivors te
the main land. zaS
The Islanders have been exceedingly kind tt

and its issues are WORTH perhaps, just as much as

The Administration and the N. Y. De-
mOCHAGY.


A great deal of Juror is raised by the Wing
press generally, over the dsaffecton of the ada
mantine wing of the Democracy of the State Of
New York. Much is said about the people be-
ing dissatisfied with the Administration, the poll
cy of the Government, and the course pursued by
the President in the discharge of duties To read
the Whig papers one would think that the Presi-
dent had violated every pledge, and neglected
every duty-that the Union was in danger, and
the administration in extricabe difficulty. But
those prints having party of their own to talk
about. constrained by long practice, to abuse
the Democrats, and accordingly for want of bet
ter employment they abuse the President and his
Cabinet and sympathize with Judge Bronson, land
consider him a very martyr, because the President
has removed him from post, they have always
heretofore claimed, he was unworthy to hold. So
far as the people and the President concerned,
there is difficulty, one way or the other. 1t is
true the hard she'll faction of the N. Y. Democ-
racy feel dissatisfied, because the President has
seen fit to select from the whole of the Demo-
cratic party, without regard to faction.
In 1851 an attempt was made to unite the
Hunker and Barnburners factions In 1852 the at
declared there was no divisions, but that the par
ty was unity-by this means this State gave q
Democratic majority for Gen. Pierce. The Pres
ident in making the appointments to Offices,
spoke the language "there is no division in
the NJ Y. Democracy, the parts is a unity
This offended the bunker portion of the par
who considered they were entitled to all the
spois, Notwithstanding without the help of the
barnburners, the state would have gone for Scott,
and notwithstanding the softs or barnbnrners,
have endorsed the platform of the party and policy
of the President, and pledged themselves to sup
port the one, and maintain the other. This then
is all the difficulty faction of the Democratic
party of New York is dissatisfied. But in the
first place the State of New York is not the
Union' and if it were, the sold fogy hard shells
are not the Democratic party of New York. A few
disaffected hunkers, 'giving themselves trouble,'
in one State in the Union, will do the admnistra-
ton about much harm as the Wing party of
Ohio, did the election of Gov. MED1LL.
