that " for talent, craftsmanship, and wise
and faithful discharge of duty in all of its

no Cabinet in the annals of the Republic

plenty in Vermont, even in the largo villages

Mail ltnI.I,ury

Tho bag containing the through mail from
New York city to Montreal Of Ftiday last,
(madc up Of course the night beiorc), was
toun1 cdrIyW Wednesday morning upon the track
OF tho Vt. Central Road between hero and
Winooski, about a mile from the village. On
examination it was found that the bag had
been cut open, t,ccHiy flee letters opened and
replaced, and four letters, as shown by the
post bill, distracted. The remainder Of the
contents was apparently untouched. Only
the larger packages had been opened This
bag is one which, as the arrangements have
been heretofore was transferred Immediately
from the Rutland to the Central train, and did
not therefore come under the charge
Of our careful postmaster 1t was probably
abstracted in some way, in the hustle ut
the depot, as tho mails were carried from
train to train last Friday evening or it may
possibly have fallen from the car. The won
der is why the robber or robbers who kept
possession Of the bag for four days, did not
more thoroughly rifle its contents. That is
explainable perhaps on the supposition tina
it was the act of some beginner in crime who
feared to complete the operation he had
begun, or that the bag was taken by SOM
one who had followed it from the city for tn,
sake of particular portion of its con
tents, which obtained, tho remainder wa
