Forgery and Suicide.

The Ithaca Journal of March 1st, says
that some time since, Mr.. Garrett Clawson,
of Hector, was charged with the forgery
of endorsers to note at the Geneva Bank;
the note was paid by Clawson but short
time since. On Wednesday of last week,
he procured the discount of note of $2,-
800 at the Tompkins County Bank. On
Saturday afternoon it was supposed the
endorsers' signatures were forged. Two
agents of the bank started for his residence,
and reached his house about daylight in
the morning. They knocked at the door.
which was opened by Clawson, who ad-
mtted them. After Clawson had dressed
himself, he stepped into the kitchen. and.
before the business on which they had
come, had been made known, reached a
razor from a shelf, stepped out back door,
and cut his throat, expiring almost instant
ly. The deceased was in possession OF
one OF the best farms in Hector, contain
ing about 300 acres, and, before these
forgeries, was esteemed worthy citizen.
He leaves family, consisting of his wife
and six children, to mourn his untimely
end.

The Late Mail Robberies.

Mr.. Holbrook and Postmaster Thomas
were very busy on Saturday in looking
over the letters and other documents found
in the possession Of Smith, the Mail.rob.
ber, and complete list will be taken for
future use. We learn that Smith has been
following up his depredations for nearly
two months, and that he had been in the
habit of burning up at short intervals such
letters and papers that could be of no use
