a witness whom he had summoned down from
Worcester, to testify before the Grand Jury in
the Burns riot case, in order to ascertain what
he would testify to, In the course of the con-
versation, Ben suggested that the witness
might be higher lao man, and inquired what
his views were, of the binding obligation of
an oath. The witness very promptly replied,
that his views of the obligation were such,
that he could, under no consideration, join 4
Society solsich required an oath Of Secresy, and
then drudge their secrets. Those who recol-
lect Mr.. Hallett course in anti Masonic times,
will appreciate the force of this reply.

ARREST oE RoBBERs.-A correspondent OF
the N. Y. Times, writing from Sandusky,
Ohio, under date of Oct. 5, says that, for some
time past. extensive robbcries had occurred in
the freight cars, and at several stations on the
line of travel between New York and the Lake
cities, and at length a trustworthy employee
was stationed as Waterman in the Mad River
freight depot, which had been several times
entered by the thieves. AT about midnight
the Waterman saw six men enter the depot
with dark lanterns, and commence operations
by breaking boxes. He managed matters so
well as to get a view of all their faces, and
even to take notes of their conversation. I'm
fortunately, as they were leaving the building
he slipped upon plank, causing a noise
The burglars Immediately, with revolvers and
lanterns, began to search the building, threat
enning to kill any whom they could find
Being good dodger, however, he eluded dis
covery, and the next morning the whole party
was arrested. All Of them were employees
the company, and had been in the habit o
stealing for more than year.

remarks that "the South is a spoiled child,

threatens to throw itself down stairs. The

fulfil its threat, becomes frightened, and fussily
goes and gets for it whatever it may fancy it
wants."
