great danger. Nest of these marauders
are natives, but some Of the most iormi-

man in Genoa. Carson Valley, turned

one member could recognize another of
the gang, and also the names Of several
parties living in Carson Valley who were
concerned in the murder Of the French
man. 1t was given out that Snow was
duly executed, and The matter kept quiet.
Two lien were dispatched to Carson Val
lev, where they remained for a month.
initiating themselves into She good graces
Of The band; finding out their secrets, &c,
by the signs given them by Snow. Eve
rything was fully arranged. and notice
given to the citizens Of Honey Lake.
The ] OH Of June last, before daylight,

and trails leading from the valley into tho
mountains. They then, with the as'i'-
lance Of citizens Of Genoa. arrested a
large band Of murderers and robbers, and
il is said put them all TO death after
hearing before a peoples jury. A. tho

racy was in progres TO murder the COM

Personal Identity.

A week or two ago we gave an &C.
count of man returned from California 10
Ohio after several years absence. This
man claimed 10 be Robert McAuley. and
nearly all his old neighbors and others in
the town believed in his identity and the
proofs which he gave Of his identity.
The wife of Robert McAuley, however,
refused to receive him as her husband
and declared he was an impos,er. Many
oc her relatives and neighaors wondered
a, her obslinacy and ill-temper, and be-
leved j, to be affected. Inquiries since
made. have, however, proved that the
man was Charles McAuly. brother Of
Robert, and bad fellow. A Cincinnati
editor is glad to know from this that a
woman does not forget her husband in SIX
wears, absence. This is matter in
which all married men should feel deep
interest, and indeed rejoice.
Another example Of different charac'
ter has however, since occurred at New
York. Mrs. Mary Ann Forbs has tru-
ant husband whom she has not seen Tor
several years, and saw man the other
dav which she claimed as her husband.
The man denied the charge. and the mat
fer assumed so serious character that an
investigation was held before the Mayor.
Here the lady described certain marks on
her husband. and the suspected man,nam-
ed Parsons, TO satisfy the lady and his
Honor, stripped off his coat and rolled his
shir. sleeves up 10 his armpits, exhibiting
powerful pair OF arms. upon which the
initials of Forbs No. were sought for in
vain. The widow had 10 give in. and
Mr.. Parsons was pronounced not to be
Mr.. Forbs.

it was stopped to afford opportunity to
The passengers TO get dinner. The pris'

and being faster feeder got done before
the officer. He had secured the conf.
dence of the party having him in charge,
and as soon as he finished his meal left
the table. The officer gave himself no
consern, surprising that his prisoner had
returned to the train, and it was not until
the iron horse had started with his burden
for Baltimore thai the fact was known thai
one passenger was not there. The train
was Immediately searched and the pris
oner not found. Col. Shut had the train
