Now London mail lies over at Willimantic two or three hours, which gave Mir. Ilolbrook time to place in the bag decoy packages. This done and on the arrival of the train at Hartfop, on Sat- usday evening, the bag was taken up stairs at the depot and opened. aud the package ofletters which were m the bag at Wiiliman,ic were missing. John Miller, young man, baggage master on tlle train, was invited up stairs, when Mir. Holbrook asked him whrie those packages ot letters were which he had t.keD from that Bag. He at first sloniiy denied having taken them but finding that he was caught, the packages were brought firth. He conitssss 10 the tts fact or rubbinp the mails from time to time, and says that he has kep' the money Obtainrd and destroyed all other matter. We understand that draft or cheek for some four hundred dollars was found on him, which lie says he should have destroyed. Miller was committed to Jail to await an examination. New Haven need not suppose that she can beat Ha:tlord.-CVurdnt
 From Hartford. we learn that John w. Sey. imour, Treasurer of of lhe Ha'tfprd County Say. ings Sorie,y has proved himself a drfaulier and 'eit Hartford ior parts unknown
 An incomplete examination dscloses the, loss of between $50 900. and S90, 900 but bear ,I,a, the total will probably exeved the statements of Mir. Seymour.
 MT. Seymour told a friend that he had used about Sl00 900 brIonging to the Association, t,at he was going away, and that his friend would never see him again
 ls is probable that he has been for long time, engaged in the gradual conversion of tlrese secur. i''es into cash, as his necessities deinandrd. It mus, have required great ingenuity to dispose ot them without suspicion. or to replace t,ein when demanded by borrowers paying their loans.
 Mr. Seymour has probably taken but little with him of tlte large sums stolen, they pfob- ahIy have bpp invc sfudi i, h;, He is largely interested in western speculations, which have devoured iarge capital. His real es- tate in Hartford was transferred to relative on Friday.
 Our readers will remember, says Nor wich paper, the fact stated in these columns a few weeks ago, of number of cattle and a horse belonging to Mir. Jas. Hyde, having been bitten by a MAD DOG. There is sad se- quel to that matter, the principal circumstan- ces of which have been related to us as fol- lows Not long after the cattle of MT. Hyde were bitten Griswold Randall--a notorious and unprincipled character who has frequent, ly made the acquaintance of our criminal courts, and whose place of residence is Lefin well town--went to Mir. Hyde and bought or bartered with him for oHc of the cattie-s cow--that had been bitten. He took he home and put her in the stable. A few day since she was attacked with all the symptom of Hydrophobia. Mrs Ann Randall, widow of Calvin Randall, Ia brother of Griswole Randall who kept house for G Randall, wal induced by curiosity to offer water to to the cow to see whether she would drink it. Th, froth and saliva from the cows mouth got in to the water and afterwards Mrs R. thought lpSS1y mt her hand into tho w for ta ri,ra nu the pail. On one of the fingers of the hanc thus introduced into the water was sligh abrasion of the skin. In few days after th Thursday morning last We belicve-Mrs. R was attacked with hydrophobia and aftel three days of horrible agony, died on Saturday night.
