A Curious Development.

Those who commit crimes are some
times discovered in the most singular
manner. The following recen. incident
is a striking illustrations: On the 7Ih OF
January last. $500 was stolen from
Store of p. b. Croker, in Salem. w ash
ing,on county, New York. A week af-
ter. some little boys, paying in gard
in the town, discovered a package rolled
up in piece of newspaper. They took
il TO their father, who, upon examination
found il to contain $640 of the stolen
money. and note written with lead
pencil, and evidently IN a disguised hand,
to the effect tina. the writer was going
home. and did no, need the money at
present, he had concluded to return it
but would be round again in few
days. This note was evidently written
for The purpose of throwing Mr.. Crock.
er off his guard. and inducing him TO be-
lieve tina, the robber was not resident
of the town. Ii had, however. precise.
ly contrary effect, and the search was
prosecuted with rene wed vigilance. The
newspaper in which the returned bills
had been folded was found to be por-
ton of New Bedford Journal. 4, was
asceItained from the postmaster that This
paper was sent TO bu, one family in town;
and upon proceeding to the residence of
this family. the newspaper from which
the fragment had been torn was iound;
and one of he individuals whose name
had been prominently mentioned in con-
nection with the affair was sitting in the
house when his discovery was made
He was Immediately arrested, and at
last accounts had given bail in 81 900 for
his appearance for trial.

The RIGHT OF wAY.-We are graft
fed to learn that there is comparatively
no hesitancy on the part of property
holders freely to grant the right of way
to the company who have in charge the
construction of the railroad westward
from this city. This result is highly
credisable.o the diligence and far seeing
sagaci,y of our fellow citizens, and affords
another and striking evidence Of that
public spirit which already has been so
often manifested among US, and which
has tended so powerfully TO build up for
Us 80 ensable name abroad. When a
people. by anticipation, show that they
rightly appreciate the advantages of a
railroad, we may set i, down as pretty
sure sign that they will no, be disap
