trs.-lt has heretofore been stated that the office
of the treasurer of Coshocton county. Ohio, was
robbed of $4,000 Friday night last The
pttsburg Post says:
The treasurer, Mr.. Ketchum was about clos
ing the Office, when three men entered, one OF
whom asked the amount Of tax on II lot in West
Carlisle The treasurer turned to get the tax du-
plicate, when suddenly large shawl was thrown
over his head, his arms pinioned, and his body
forced to the floor lie was instantly gagged, his
arms tied behind him with n cord. his legs also
tied and hs eyes kept blindfod He thinks one
man locked the Office door and stood sentinel. One
stood over him, while the other took the keys and
unlocked and robbed the safe. They then relock-
ed the safe and took tho keys with them. Mr..
Ketchum remained in this painful condition for
long time before he could work the gag from his
mouth. When he succeeded, he commenced hal
looing for help, but the people We're generally in
bed, and it was near one o'clock when he was
heard by Hiram Taylor, who aroused the Sheriff.
and breaking in the door, they found the Treasu-
rcr tied upon the floor, nearly exhausted, his face
black from the effects of the gag. The cord had
cut into the flesh of his arm, his legs were so be-
numbed be could scarcely stand, and he would
have died before morning unless released"

Trouble About the Tariff.
A Washington correspondent writes a. foil,

A Washington correspondent writes as follows:
Several old and experienced Custom House Off
GERS from New York are here at the call of Secre-
tary Cobb, to advise with him in regard to tariff
modification, t. see whether it is possible to frame
q bill which shall be acceptable to the Southern
free traders, and at the same time be made to
answer the demands, in part, at least, Of Pennsyl
vania. The task certainly is about as easy Of &C
accomplishment - would be the thorough amalga-
nation of oil and water. Mr.. Phillips Of phila-
Idelphia a member of the House Committee on
Ways and Means, declares that he will insist on
n radical measure Of relief to his constituents,
even though compelled to make An open issue with
the Administration. We shall have jolly times
over the tariff question if it ever gets into the
House. Party lines are certain to be utterly OBJ
literatsd upon this question.

can of Saturday says: John Crecclius, tailor.
and possessor OF considerable property, commit
tel suicide yesterday in Carondalet, by swallow
ing large dose ofopium. About Il year ago no
mad, similar attempt to destroy his life. giving
~ il reason he WAS tired Of life. The Coroner held
an inquest on his body when the following facts
aud circumstances were developed. The deceased
was a-ed thirty-seven years, n native OF Nassau,
Germany. Fifteen years ago he became quite
hypochondrac, and remained in this mood about
twelve months, after which his mind restored
to its ordinary healthiness. During thcsct.tecn
years through the dint of much industry he nc
cnmulaled n competency and became worth about
100000 represented by houses and lots in Caron-
dalet. aud II very fine farm on the Grnvois road
In the meantime. he married M interesting lady,
by whom he was the father of seven children
Within tho last four years, however, his friends
have noticed that at the approach of every
tumn when the leaves began to fall trum the
trees, as observed by one of the witnesses, his
mind became morose, deep melancholy sat upon
his spirits, aud everything appeared gloomy to
| him. At times he communicated his inclination
to rid himself of life which was a burthen to him
and of no to any one. Thursday morning ear
| ly he went from his roonrto that where bis chill
dren slept. kissed them retired to his own room
and took more than an ounce Of powdered opium.
The sight Of the bereavel family was truly heart
reading.
