EMBEzzLING LISTERS FROM THE Posi- OFFICE
Arrest ofo PoStmaster.-Some time since informa-
ton sent to w ashington that there was leak
in Post-ofice in the northern part of this state
and Colonel North, who was then the Mail Super
lntendent, set about to ascertain where it was for
the purpose of arresting the person engaged in the
theft. One OF the charges was by a lady, who
stated that $40 had been enclosed in q letter, and
before it reached its destination the letter was
opened SIS bill substituted in its place. and the
letter altered so that it read five instead OF ten
dollars.
The newly appointed agent, Mr.. Bull followed
the matter up, and BY putting in a decoy letter
traced out the leak He addressed letter contain.
ing several bills TO himself under assumed name
to Perry's mills, Clinton county, and applying
TO the Postmaster at that place for it. he informed
Mr.. Bull that such letter received there, but
he (the Postmaser) knowing that such person
resided in the place. and as be knew the letter con-
tanned money, had forwarded it to another place.
Mr.. Bull, not satisfied with this explanation, left
for the cars, and upon the arrival of the pouch from
the Perry Office, he took charge of and opened it.
Among the letters was one marked ''free' address
ed to a firm in Troy, which he opened and found to
contain two of the identical bank bills which he had
put into the decoy letter. He thereupon caused

there appeared in the foreign news brought by the
steamship Meita the following paragraph, abiding
to an increase Of the French navy:
"a Paris correspondent of the London Herald
says that France has just purchased ten large steam
transports in the United States"
Being DESTROYS of knowing whether such was the
case, we despatched reporter to our principal
shipbuiders and shipping men, in order to know
who the fortunate contractor or owner was in case
| such a sale had been effected, and to give to our
readers the names OF the steamers in question, with
whatever other Information might please the public
| His researches, however, do not throw much lpht
upon the subject as all the gentlemen visited were
entirely Ignorant of any such movement the part
| OF the French government, and many regarded it
IN the light of cdndrd, got up by the cUrrespOn-
! dent of the London Herald. At all events if such
an addition has been made 1t uuat have boon dc

to this the city property which is not taxed, val

have total of two hundred and eighty eight mil
