that the circulation Of the WEEKLY will soon
reach halt million. Where the new smen were
taking tens. they are now taking hundreds of

fre thousand New Agents who are now regu-
lary selling the NEW YORK WEEKLY,

Money Stolen-The Thief Accident
ajIy Killed.

Quite an excitement was created at
Lafayette the other day as we learn
from the Courier OF that place, on dis
covering that the Ticket Office Of the
Y. \. & S. X. Il. had been robbed oi
some $50 in bank bills. Search was
instituted aud the thief found cnscons.
ed in the body of the frame work which
supported the money drawer. He made
a desperate attempt to escape, and III
the struggle received an unfortunate
blow on the head which caused his
death. His illgotten gains were all
found secreted on the premises. The
clean nice SO and $50 bills of Indi-
ana Banks were all placed by them
selves while the greasy lliEois and
Wisconsin bills had served for his
breakfast. The asserting process was
in accordance with the most approved
plans observed among brokers. The
offenders name was Mouse. On pro.
claiming which to the public the ex-
element quietci down. the cars started
off on time, and the minds ofthe man.
ayers of the road were said to have
been made easier. : Fit. Wayne Re

\ little story illustrating the absent
mindness of the famous editor of the
y. Y. Tribune, Horace Greedy. which
was recently told us is too good to keep.
Horace was stopping at the house of a
friend in Allegheny City, and there
being a number of visitors present. u
large fruit basket was passed around
filled with large luscious apples. \
young lady. the daughter of the host,
approached the eccentric editor while
he was engaged in animated convcrsa-
tion upon the subject of protection
to manufactures. a subject upon
which Grccly is particularly enthusi-
astic) and politely requested him to
partake. Horace was in the middle
of the, to him all absorbing topic, and
mechanically reached ont his hand
and commenced transferring the huge
pippins from the dish to his left hand
rear rocket of his frock coat The
blushing lady could not well remove
the dish while the illustrcus guest
manifested disposition to keep on
helping himself, so there she stood in
the middle of the elegant group. of
course. 1.-The observed ofall observers.
Grecly. having deposited some half
dozen or so in said pocket. "hcld her
with his glittcring eye" talking volu-
bly, all the time. and totally uncon-
scious OF every thing but his subject.
while making a frantic, but abortive
Of not fruiaess) effort to get another
"New-town" in the already alarming
ly di,tenied pocket. The damsel
thought this the opportunity to escape
from the dilemma and made a move
10 pass on. But no, The great edito-
rial was equal to the emergency
Suddenly shifting the apples to the
other hand he commenced rapidly fill
ing the other pocket. which process he
continued until the entire contents of
the dish were exhausted. BY this
time Greely's Western pocket con-
tanned about a peck, AMI caused his
coat tails to form something near a
right angle with his back. Although
every one in the room was convulsed
with laughter. or the excruciating ef-
fort not to laugh. Horace kept on the
even tenor of his discourse. in blisSful
Inconsistencies. and did not discover
his mistake, till he attempted to sit
down when he was as much astonI>hed
as the Yankee who unexpectedly plant
e1 himself in the middle of a spring
bottom sofa, and leaped into the air
with horror at having. as he sup
posed. "squatted on somebody's ba-
by"
