A Pocket Book Losr-THE LAST CASE OF
ABSENCE OF MIYD.--A gentleman who had
come from New York in the steamer Conpec.
ticut, last Friday night, went to Bacon,s He.
tel, registered his name, and was shown TO his
room about one O'Clock In a few minutes.
and before undressing, he came down stairs in
great haste, saying he had lost his pocket
book, and could not recollect having had Il
since paying his fare the evening previous on
board the boat. A teoM was Immediately har-
messed, and drove with all possible dispatch TO
Allyn's Point, to intercept the Jat there, in
the hope Of finding the pocket-book in hi,
berth, as he said he was in the habit Of placing
it under his pillow when retiring. But no
pocket-oook was TO be found on boarI the
steamer, and he came back disheartened, and
soon took the cars for Willimantic, his place of
destination.
The hext night the room was occupied bv
another gentleman, and in the morning he
left his travelling bag in the room, unlocked
and open. Shortly after the maid entered To
make up the bed, &C., and found a rocket
book under the pillow. Not doubling but
that 1t belonged to the last occupant, she
placed it carefully in his travelling bar. and
informed Mr.. Bacon of the circumstsnce who
Immediately made it known to the person who
had occupied the room. He was a little sur
prised Of frst, but upon placing his hand upon
his pocket found he had lost no pocket book.
and though very much obliged to Mr.. Bacon
for thus rendering him well filled pocket
book, declined receiving it, On the principle
that honesty is the be ct policy"
The facts now became evident; the gentle.
man who was to have occupied the room on
Friday night, had placed his pocketbook un
der the pillow, unconsciously, and upon find
ing his pocket empty, (after taking off his
eoat,) imagined he had been robbed. Mr..
Bacon took immediate measures to inform the
aosent,miIded owner, and the reception of the
London Star.
