iGLEANINGs FROM THE MAILS.

Mr. ia gtcr. ofSt. Louis, who was shot
last Sund ny night by burglar and died
on Wednesday, was formerly a resident of
Ciucinnali. The circumstances of the
shooting are stated by u st. Louis paper as
follows: '.A burglar had succeeded in eff
fecting entrance Into the cellar of his resi-
dcnce on Grattan street, near Chouteau av-
enue, but by stepping upon q pile OF coal
which had been thrown in but day or two
before, he created so much Of q racket that
Mr.. Baxter and his wife were both AVA
kencd. Mr. Baxter seized a revolver and
ran down the back stairs, while his wife ran
ont the front door shouting watch at the
top of her voice. Mr.. Baxter then ran out
into the street In front of his residence just
rs the rObber emerged from the window
| lie fired his revolver, but missed his aim
| The burglar then drew his revolver at MT.
Baxter and fired with better aim, the ball
entering his forehead near the left eye, and
passing downward into his neck where 1t
lodged. The burglar then passed Mr.. Bax-
ter and made his escape.
By late arrivals we learn that the Paris
| Presse of the 10th announces that Baron
Salard left Paris on the 18th for the pur-
pose OF making the necessary arrangements
with the Emperor Maximillian for the re-
turn of the French troops from Mexico ut
the earliest possible date. ..
The Pittsburg Commercial it is said,
sunk $4,000 to get start in the world.
This will give those who think it "as easy
rs rolling OFF II log" to establish tirst-class
daily newspaper, some idea of the expense
attending the enterprise.

BIG SwINDLE.-Yery little doubt now ex-
lists that T. j. ToMLIN, the prominent mer-
chant Of Quincy H., whose mysterious dis
appearance and reported foul murder in
Chicago caused such an excitement about
several weeks ago, has absconded with his
pockets full of greenbacks. A dispatch
from Quincy says: ....

Charles, acting as a committee, report that
TOmlin claimed to have been the agent OF
Messrs. Savage & Ashley, of Philadelphia,

terprise thirty thousand dollars was to be

They also report up to the present time, Mr.
Tomln had received ten thousand seven
hundred and sixty-six dollars, on behalf OF
said enterprise, and that the books show q
balance above expenditures, in favor of the
enterprise, of forty dollars and twenty-five
cents, while no prise can be found to have
been purchased"

Murder, Robbery and Arson.

A terrible crime has just been discovered
in Fulton county, Ohio, the murder, rob-
berry and burning of a respectable farmer,
named Chester Richardson. .......
Mr.. Richardson was in the habit of rising
early, before daylight, feeding the stock
and going the round of his morning chores.
On last Thursday morning, rs usual, he
took his lamp and started for the barn. Af-
ter he had been gone for short time a
noise was heard at the barn; but the family
supposed it was Mr.. Richardson speaking
in sharp tone to the cattle, and no atten-
ton was paid to the circumstances. In a
| short time light was seen in the direction
of the barn, and upon the family and some
of the neighbors rushing there, 1t was found
| to be on fire, and the flames had made con-
siderable progress, and the barn was con-
sumed to ashes, with the loss of about So
600, as our informant reports. Eighteen
horses and cattle were burned to death.
Upon examination the remains of Mr.
Richardson were found, and identified by
his knife, tobacco box and false teeth, and
some twenty feet from him were found the
bones of another person, and military but
tons, showing the clothing worn by one OF
| the murderers, and also near Mr.. Richardson
was found the pitchfork. The suppositior
| is, from the circumstances attending the
case, that there were three assassins con-
ccaled in the barn, who made an attack
upon Mr.. Richardson tor the purpose OF
rObbing him of II large sum of money il
was supposed he carried about his person
and that he made Il desperate effort to de-
fend himself with the pitchfOrk, and in the
aliray succeeded in killing one of his as.
sailants; and that the other assassins
in order to conceal their bloody work
| fired the building.
