the store of Messrs. H. E. DIBBLEE Co., occupying the
st floor of the building of Silks sans and other
costly goods to the aggregate value Of thirty thousand
dollars. 1t appears that for long time past Messrs
Dbblee Co. have missed large quantities goods and
though they used every exerton ascertain where they
went to- and who stole them they unable to obtain
any clue to the thief until recently when they led
to suspect Parmelee. They at informed the Super
ntenden of Police of their suspicious, and Officer Van
Tasseu was deputed to ascertain if they were well
founded, and possible, to recover the goods. The
officer faithfully performed his duty and soon ascer-
tanned that Parmelee the man. and that he had
within few months shipped about ten thousand dollars
worth of the stolen goods to Phadelpha be sold at
auction The officer Immediately started for Philadel-
pha the goods and stopped their SALE after which
he returned to this city, and on inquiry ascertained
that Parmeee had sold large quantity of the goods at
auction here. He then arrested Parmelee and in his
store found hundred dollars worth of goods which
he stole last Sunday from Dibbee Co. On his
Parmelee 'owned up and made confession, in which
he explained the modus operandi of the larceny He
stated that his plundering operations commenced
about two years ago. and had been continued since
He always performed his work Sundays and got rid
of his punder before the opened on the fol-
lowing morning To obtain to the store he made
rope ladder by which he descended from his own store
to that of Dibblee Co. He then selected such goods
he thought proper tied the package together and as
tened the bundle to the bottom of his ladder; he then
ascended and, having reached his own store drew up
the ladder and its appendage The goods thus obtained
were then packed up, and before Dibblee Co.'s store
was opened on Monday morning he had them shipped
for Philadelphia Baltimore In this way he managed
to abstract from the store goods to the of value of thirty
thousand dolars-ten thousand seven hundred dollars
of which have been recovered. He was taken before
Justice Welch and committed to await further examine

TO THE RESCUE OF TUppER.

Quite good punning joke has been circulating through
our press about the breaking of the Atlantic Telegraph
Cable. The break is attributed to Martin Farquhar
Tuppers poem the grandeur of the enterprise be-
the cable could not stand such strain as that
This squb has excited the ire of the Journal of Com
merce which, in article upon random punning y
varnishes Tupper very thckly moral poet and a
moral tourist and pitches into the wicked okers who
have ventured to have little fun at his expense Our
contemporary must have been at loss for theme
Tuppers poetry however moral is certainly not " link
ed sweetness" though may be song drawn out and
the verser who could dismiss Niagara with the remark
that the quite PASTORAL was by no means Of
capacity to do justice to the wedding of the worlds
that strain didn't break the cable it wasn't worth

Santa Anna allowed time to recruit his army
strengthen the deences of the city, and thus to make it
necessary to fight his battles which cost the army
the blood of 1872 that it thus manifest that
Gen. Scott acted and carried the terms of the Pue
bla negotiations that opposed the whole proceeding,
not as spy upon Gen. Scott, but associate
missioner with Mr. Trst; that my position known
both to Gen. Scott and Mr. Trist; that, finding could
not arrest these proceedings alike disgraceful to the
Government and dangerous to the army reported all
the facts to the President who thereupon recalled Mr.
Trst that shortly afterwards arrested and held
prisoner in the city of Mexico until relieved from
arrest by order of the President of the United States
This was the substance of that address. Does Gen.
hitchcock deny that there was such an agreement
that the ten thousand dollars paid Does he deny
that after marching to the valley and fighting the battle
Gen. Scott halted the army when the city was in his
power and granted armisce, without the enemy hav
ing sent flag of truce or asked for the armistce until
next day? Does he deny that opposed the armistce
warmly and earnestly, both by verbal and written
monstrance? Does he deny that Santa Anna availed
himself of the armstice recruit his army and strength
en- the deences of the city and that the after opera
ons made necessary by the armisce cost the army the
blood of 672 Of its men Does he explain why Mr. Trs
was recalled and ordered to be sent out of the country
If notupen my report and why he was promptly recalled
upon that If was not associate commissioner Does
he pretend to explain how it happened that both Gen.
Worth and two officers who opposed the armis
ce-were arrested shortly after Trst was recalled
Unless he denies these well known facts of the history
that campaign, he makes with any statement in
my address.
Yet he would have the public believe that Gen. Scott
broke OF friendly relations with because would not
alter my official report and falsify my convictions of
truth He says that Gen. Scott "condescended" to ad

Again, Hitchcock says in his letter will contine
my remarks to facts within my knowledge" So then
it appears that he had personal knowledge of the facts

that took place in Tss quarters when he was not pre-

Again Hitchcock says Trist told him that took him
into private room ION the night of the 10Th of Au-
gust after Gen. Scott had directed the assault on the
morning of the Goth, under Gen. Smiths suggestion)
and told him (Frist that disapproved this plan and
notified him that washed my hands of the responsible

stated by Mr. Trist embraced in Scotts charges
against me- Trist swore to the fact but the court
satisfied that he lied, and found against him in this
in all his other testimony, and Hitchcock knew it, yet
he revves and brings forward this proven fasehood
Of Trsts and repeats it true, under his pledge to
confne himself to matters within his knowledge
But, Independently of this view of the subject, why
should wish to wash my hands of the responsibility of
measure ordered by Gen. Scott He was in command
of the army my senior in rank and the entire
sibity would of course rest upon him. Yet Hitchcock
repeats this cid dsproven fasehood if he himself be-
