LETTER FROM LIZZIE WAYT No. 2-The following
letter sent from GAINESVILLE, Ohio, for publication in
the lnteuigeneer sufficiently explains itself:
EVANSVILLE, July Is, 1852
Uessrs Editors:-Sirs:-I have seen an article in
your paper stating that Miss Wavt home lecturer
had committed robbery at the Nc Lure House
in IN your city. | am the only Miss Lizzie Wavt in
I Ine onlted States, and have resided here for the
Iast month, and bear an untarnished reputation
on will, therefore, obge me by inserting the
following card in your paper.
10 the PRblic.-I take this method of informino
the puphc that am not the woman who commit
ted the robbery at the Mcclure House. in Wheeling.
nor do bear any resemblance to her whatever
She is twenty-six years of age; black ewes, liobt

OF considerable beauty; while | have black ewes,

professionally. During my absence she left my
boarding-house No. 237 Penn avenue, takin @ with
her large black trunk belonging to me- which
contained small portion of my wardrobe, some
cards, bills, essays and poems. | have been unable
to hear OF her until she committed this robbery
under my name The officers are now endeayoring
to recover my trunk and Miss Wayt No. 3
shall deliver one or two lectures in Wheeling
shortly, to give the public an opportunity of judg
ing whether am Miss Winter or Miss Wavt
Yours most respectfully, LIZZIE WAYT.
If it was the real Lizzie Wayt who committed the
robbery here, and she has since gone to GAINESVILLE
and written these letters to escape the odum of that
act, she has done sharp thing-one that ought to
entitle her to another degree in the profession In
the absence, however, of any evidence of the truth
of this surmise, bound to suppose that Lizzie
Wayt, home lecturer, has been victim to the
villainy of Belle Winter, who has perpetrated
trick, which for GOODNESS is exceed only by the
season of the year whose name she bears. Since
the affair of the robbery policeman of this city
has received letter from a former agent of Miss
Wayt. who Is now in Pittsburg and who accom-
panied her upon a lecturing tour through Pennsyl-
vana. This agent inquiries very particularly about
the transaction of the robbery with which the name
of his patroness is associated and speaks bigbly of
her virtue, modesty and intelligence. Upon the
whole we think it is not altogether unlikely that
the above letter is bona tde thing and states the
truth. At least the acquaintance of Lizzie can
distinguish between herself and Miss Winter by the
descriptions contained in the above card
"CuEvAIIER CASSIDY, ofthe Albany Arqus states
saws the New York Herald, ''that we trotted out
George Law, rubbed him down, currycombed HIM
brought out his best points, got him into condition
and then trotted him back again into the STALL not
backing him finally for the Presidential race. We
believe that is all so but we only did in regard to
Live Oak George what Cassidy did in regard to
Horatio Seymour, who was also rubbed down. curry
combed, and trotted back again. JOCKEYS must try
their nags before they start in the race, and we
rather think our nag showed as good blood and
pace as Cassdy's did,"
The New York Mercury copies the above and
adds .ar --"-
s'There is in the above confession single omis-
sion, which we beg leave to correct:-Bennett did
more to his nag than rub him down, currycomb
