NEWSPAPER PLATTTUDEs.- The Providence
Journal observes: "Some of the New York pa
pers have got into such habit of spreading out
the details of every thing they record, that it
requires the reading of a column to reach the
sense of paragraph. They cannot give an
account of crime without preceding it with a
history of all the parties, and all their antece-
dents; and when the reporter gets in the neigh
borhOcd Of the act itself, the only thing that
any body cares about he stops to tell how every
body was dressed, and whether the furniture

MINT RoBBERY,A man named VIM. Bein
was arrested in San Francisco on Thursday last,
charged with robbng the U. s. branch mint at
that place. 1t seems that he has been carrying
on system Of petty thieying for several years,
by carrying off every day small piece of gold
Of the value of four or five dollars, until it has
amounted In the aggregate to "a heavy sum
almost enough to raise him to the, dignity of a
defaulter. Some $4,000 or $4,000 have been
recovered, and the culprit was lodged in the
station house for trial. Bein has been engaged
at the mint ever since il was started. He help
ed put up the machinery, and has since been
employed as a clipper. The evidence against
him seems to be conclusive.

Mr.. Anderson has written again, to endeavor
to ascertain more of the particulars of this sin
gular transaction, but as yet has received no
answer The fact that Meyers was discharged
so soon after his reception in the Asylum. would
lead one to believe that his insanity was only
assumed. He was or professed to be. ravng
maniac when he left this place. and he could
scarcely have recovered in the short space Of
