MAIL RoBBERIEs.-Great complaint has
been made of missing mail matter tor month
or two past on the route between Montreal
and New York and Montreal and BJstOn.-
The TraueLer says:
Something like a dozen mails between
Montreal and New York hive been plunder-
ed. and eight between Montreal and this city.
The robher was evidently well provided with
KEYS 70 t e bags. for tho, upon the arrival of
the plundered mails at the Post Office in this
city the bags were locked and had no ap-
pearance of being tampered with, yet it WAS
in every case found that the Boston packa-
gSs were missing.
These packages oubteily contained
large amount OF drafts and other property Of
value. but it IS not known that any large
amount of money was secured by the rob
bers. As it was suspected here, that the
robbery WAS IF .eted at or near Rutland,
where he bags remained for the night, the
post Office authorities gave order a week or
two since, to change the mails to the Grand
Trunk Route, and they have since been re-
ceiVed IN an undlsturJed condition.
There is little doubt that Whitcomb, who
was arrested at Rutland the other day, IS tho
one who has been the operator in these rob-
berries. The mail bags are said to have been
in his charge at the Rutland Office. This is
the greatest case Of mail robbery since thatof
Mr.. Tuckerma1.

NUMBER TWO

Hon. G. P. MARsn's CLAX--We were glad
to learn. few days ago, that the claim of
Hon. G. P. Marsh for extraordinary duties
imposed upon him by the Government whils
he was U. s. Minister to the Ottoman Porte,
had been at last allowed bv Congress-that 4
special bill to allow him 50 0G0 had bee me
q law. While Mr.. Marsh was at Constanti.
nople, he was directed to go to Greecs and
to investigate an old difficulty there, which
concerned the rights of an American citizen
(Rev. Jonas King), and the honor Of the
United States Government. The investiga-
ton was one of peculiar difficulty, involving
a great deal Of tedious AbOr-a difficulty
which, probably no other man in the United
States could have elucidated so clearly and
satisfactorily rs Mr.. Marsh did. In this
service be was not only called upon to perform
most responsible and laborious duties, quite
out of the province Of his regular appoint
ment, but in their performance he was
Obliged to incur extraordinary e1pnns to a
considerable amount According to all the
usage of the Government. be was entitled to
the extra remuneration now allowed him
and it Is worth noticing that the very bill
which first contained n provision for his
receiving 1t. contained like provision for
similar allowances to another Minister, for
ser7ices very inferior to those Of Mr. Marsh's.
Yet in the conference on that bill. the last
night Of the session, the other claim was
allowed, and Mr.. Marsh's was rejected, at
the instance Of members Of the House, for n
reason, apparently, but because he was
northern man: or for other reasons Of a
personal and unjustifable character. II is
known that a subordinate individual, whose
in government affairs at Con
stantinopls had been exposed to the Govern
ment by Mr.. Marsh, was incessant in
intriguing to defeat Mr.. Marsh's just claim.
Tie claim came again before Congress and
was again defeated. We believe it was
allowed twice, at least, in the Senate, but
defeated in the House. Itwas brOughtiorward
again the st session in a special bill, and,
as above stated, with success.

Tie WHEAT CR,r.-A recent number Of

apprehended in any portion. " e congratulate
large numbers of readers Interested upon the
probable result, as demunctratlye Of the fact
that wheat can again be grown extensively
and proftabiy In tbs regional region
cmincutly adapted to its culture. OF this
much we are c1nfdent-that the wheat crop
is mainly out Of danger from the insect, and
that Western New York viii this season, Tor
the first in several years, produce handsome
surplus of the leading cereal. And not only
that, but the quality will, we have reason to
believe, be very superi0r-such as Will enable
people to realize that when - Best Genessee
wheat or flour are mentioned, no myth is
designated, but superlative article So
hoping trusting and believing, we again
congratulate the farmers of the Eden of
America upon their auspicious prospects.
The word from Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, and the Western States generally,
is one of favorable omen for the crops. In
our State the effect of the drouth has been
severe IN some localities, yet, except in the
article Of hay, we think fair crop will be
harvested. As a whole the hay crop must
be a light one.

man JEHrEI MUSsoS, has received a patent
for his improved method of making piano

in their manufacture. OF the effects Of this

proving the quality of tone of the piano, We
alluded in our notice of Mr.. Munson's es'
tablishment some time since. 1t is undoubt-
edIy a very valuable improvement, and we
trust that its introduction among piano
makers may become general on terms which
shall put plenty of money in Mr.. MunsOnt

Among recent patents, we also perceive
one to Mr.. K. P. KIDDER of Burlington. for

Postmaster Fowler 5 SURETIEs The Ad-

to favor pillaging, and save the purses of the

Y. Y. postmaster, was kept in Office, TIL his

Injunction, on the ground that Fowler was a
Ge.,ulter when they signed the bond, and
t.at the fact was known to the P. o. De-

serious charge against the Post Office De-
rartmert. as to their concealing certain facts
in relation to Fowler being defaulter to the
G. lvcrnmcnt al the time of the execution Of
tie bond THIS charge ought to be investi-
gated, and tor t,at purpose the Court would
order those issues 60 be tried-One to be an
issue Of fact before a jury, and the other an
issue of law as to any concea!ment by the
Post Office Department In the meantime
he thought the comIlainants were entitled to
relief as against the execution of the war
rant. He therefore issued an injunction to
restrain execution until the issues had been
determined. In the meantime the complain
ant should give bond in the sum # 5000
600 to abide any judgment the Uui,-dota'es
should obtain against them The result we

A ACoRREsPoNDENT of the Montpelier Watch
man gives further particulars Of the effects of
lightning among hoop skirts at Pittsfeld, Vt.
The lightning struck the chimney, blowing
the lower part Of it to pieces, followed the
stove pipe and then made its way, on both
sides Of the stove, to the walls. Out Of the
seventeen persons struck, none were fatally
injured, and but three badly burnt. The
Watchma,s's informant says:
