himself a United States Detective. was
arrested last evening on a charge Of
grand larceny and taken TO the Ham
mond street Station House. IL seoms
that in pursuance of q very common
plan of procedure with him, he had en-
tered the house Of Mr.. John Strong, Of
this city, and showing a silver shield
on his breast with the words ~. 5. De-
tectiyo" engraved on it, bad demanded
In the namo OF the United States the
right to search the house. He then pro-
oredtd TO search every hole and corner
in tho house, and finding suit Of new
suldier's clothes which had been left
with Mr.. Strong for safe keeping, he APP
propriAted Thorn TO his own use, togetu-
