MJRDER WILL oUT.-lt il curious to Oh
serve how apparently by chance criminals
are sometimes brought to justice. The fol
lowing circumstances furnish n furcihc
illustration, and afford, as we'll the highest
praise to the eRtcrprising and rcrscyering
oicer. In the month of November, $50,
a quantity Of silks to the value of - 200
were stolen from the store al Mr.. Curtis,
an importer, IN Boston. The stolen goods
were Of rare quality. and subsequent en-
dcavors have shown that no similar silk can
be found in this country. Mr.. Curtis i'm
mcdiitcly withdrew all the silk Of the kind
remaining from his shelves, and has never
since offered it for sale. In March, 1870,
some ithe stolen silk was sold in Water
bury, for less than half what it was reilly
worth, by two German pedllcrs, named
Worthen, and tho wife of II merchant OF
that parce was a purchaser. During the
following fall, Mir. Curtis saw the lady
walking in the street, and was attracted by
the similarity Of the stolen goods, and the
dress worn by the lady. On following her
and investigating the matter, the dress was
found to be of the stolen silk and the fore
going facts of the purchase ascertained.
The case was put into the hands of Sheriff
|. c. Brown. OF Waterbury, who discov
cred that the Worthens purchased the silk
of one Kane, German pcldIcr also. After
the most persevering eflDrts, Kane was
traccl by means OF his railroad tickets from
New York to Woodstock, and apprehended
near that place, travelling under an assumed
name. lie was examined a few days since y,
at Waterbury, and held to bail IN the
sum of $1,000 lie has since had another
examination at Nergennes, and We presume,
held to bail there, also. We understand he
has obtained bail.

REMARKABLE NATURAL Increase or PoP-
ULATIoN The increase Of the sailor mutt
ncers Of the English ship Bounty, on Pit
earns island, in the South Pacific, is re
markahlc For the first dozen years the
mutlnccrs lived fast in many respects, dis
obcying most Of the laws OF health. and in
1900, old Adams and five Otahcitan women
alone remained of the original settlers, with
fourteen children. The old man learned
wisdom from the sadexpcriencc Of his colony,
and trained up the children in better habits
The consequence was an Increase Of popula-
tion from natural production alone that was
quite unprecedented, and when they were
removed to Norfolk island, last year, they
numbered I99, having multiplied eight fold
in 81 years, Surrosing the United States
20 have grown at this rate from popula-
tior Of ,OOO 600 in $500, we should have
hal 10, 600 coo in 1856. This increase of
tho Pitcairn islanders is the more noticeable
from the fact that the Otaheitans, from
whom they are descended internally, are
rapidly decreasing in population in all their
islands These descendants Of the mutinecrs
are also said to be exceedingly vigorous and
well formed, and the women simple, modest
and attractive Whether something of
these results Is not due to the iudicious
mi2tnre Of races is question for physiolo-
gist7, bnt there can be no doubt that the
natural and simple life of the people is the
Chief cnuse.
