them, probably using it to remove their treasure.
1t is reported that S5s 900 of the treasure taken
was in gold.
In the amount taken, as well as in the bold
ness and success of the operation, this is one Of
the most remarkable robberies record. Last
evening, Superintendent Sanford and Assistant
Superintendent Spooner, of Bridgeport, came
here with some detectives, and held consulta-
ton with the express officers here at the New
Haven house The way-bills for the missing
treasure sent Saturday night were brought up
and Mr. Sandford subsequently, photographed to
the associated press that the loss not less
than $500, O0e in bills, bonds, &c. We presume
the precise amount is not yet known, but half
million is a pretty large sum for one nights
work
The thieves must have studied their job pretty
thoro Ighly. The messenger who came with this
car should have examined its fastenings at every
station; but we believe he states that he neg ect-
ed to do go except at Bridgeport, and then only
examined the door on the side nearest the depot
Now it happens that at all the stations coming
from New York, the platform is on the lett-hand
side, while the thieves broke in the right-haud
door, and thus the robbery was not discovered
until the train reached this city. The rumor
that the telegraph wires were cut lie Incorrect
Where the thieves left the train is not yet
known; but with the telegraph wires in active
operation, it would seem probable thar they must
SOONER or later be apprehended.

THE RECENT EXPRESS ROBBERY.
Arrest Of Three of the Parties implica-
ted--RecOvery Of $250,00O Of the
Stolen FundS--DetaiIs Relative to
The Apprehension of the Thieves.
NEW YORK, Jan. 10.

The New Haven papers of this morning con
tain the PARTICULARS OF the arrest of the robbers
of the Adams Express company.
Ga Saturday evening three men called at a
hotel III Stamford and registered their names-two
of them as Lockwood, anu the other as Clark -
Their actions towards each other at first were
those of strangers, aud no one supposed they
were acquainted. They endeavored to hire a
carriage to go to Norwalk, but were unable to
do so. After the failure to obtain the carriage
they were seen to converse if acquainted, and
their manner excited suspicion. They remained
all night at Stamford, and next morning took the
train to Norwalk.
On arriving in the later pace they hired a
conveyance and went upon the hill back of the
village to old shoemaker's named Tristan,
who Is an uncle OF Clark's. Here they stopped
over night, and returned to the village on Mon
day.
This morning old man Tristan came down
With bundle which appeared to be pretty heavy
anu which he refused to have checked, and was
also scrupulously careful to keep in his hands all
the while on his way to New York, where he took
it.
Suspicion having fallen upon him, word was
sent to New York, and Tristan was arrested
bnt not till after he had disposed Of his bundle
TTlstan's house was searched and the two Lock
woods were arrested, but the one who called him
self Clark had escaped.
When Tristan came to New York he left the
Big containing gold and some currency with
man in Division street, who has been arrested -
The whole sum recovered is $3.50, 600 in currency
value. Some burglars tools, gold watch that
was in one OF the safes, and other property. was
found i'll possession of the man arrested #
Tristam's house.

the matter as follows:
There was no soldier called Miles O'Reillv
in the 47th regiment New York volunteers
nor IN the lOth army corps. The name was
first assumed to disguise the fact that an off.

better for our neghbors. In nine cases out
OF ten, the better course il, if man cheats
you, quit dealing with him if he is abusive,
quit hi- cimpany and if he ISLANDERS you,
take care to live - that no body will believe

uses you. the wisest way is to let him alone !;
for there is nothing better than this cool calm
and quiet way of dealing with the wrongs

The radicals are intensely excited about
equal suffrage; - but they are strongly OPP
posed to eQuat taxation, All men, they tell
US. whether black or white, should De equal
before the law, So far voting Is concerned;
but when 1T comes to paying tares, all men
should not be equal before the law; for they
exempt the bond holders from paying a tax,
while they Impose a most brinding tsx.ton
upon those who own no bonds. The radical
idea Is, that negroes must be made the eQua.s
of the whites, but the whites must, by special
legis lation. be made unequal to each other.

OUR CONSIDERATIONS.

OUR CONSIDERATIONS.
From out each yesterday of life
All have some precious store to keep,
Some little store of golden worth,
Some treasure rescued from the deep
OF those gone hours; ere yet the waves
OF time have closed their quiet graves.
Thrice dark of all dark days that one
Which leaves o brightness from its hours,
No night gale to sing at eve,
No after fragrance from it's flowers
No holy dews distilled IRON Heaven
To consecrate it fresh at even.
Bless'd art thou, heart that yearns although
The tears that dim thine eyes be vain)
To call back something from thy past,
Some yesterday to life again;
The gIaddest summer of our years
We consecrate by autumn tears.
Each consecrates some precious part,
Some secret store of hidden worth
We garner each our harvest sheaves,
Our golden me mores of earth,
Against the winter time of need;
That may after come and feed.
And when the yesterdays of life
Shall all be numbered, still / deem
Each one shall have his store TO keep,
HIS fadeless relic of earth's dream,
Some shadow softened by Gods light,
Some star that made his journey bright.
