The Late Post office Robbery.

Evelyn 2. Mussey, who was arrested
in New York on Saturday last, charged
with committing the robbery at the Post
Office in this place on the night of the
30th ult, arrived in town on the noon
train over the Saratoga Railroad yester-
day, in charge OF Charles P. Johnson,
Esq, Of Boston, special agent of the
Post Office Department. He was i'm.
prisoned in the County Jail, where he is
now awaiting his examination, which
will take place to-day.
Mr.. Johnson received a telegram at
Boston from Postmaster Everts on the
Monday following the robbery, and
at once came to this place, where,
after thorough investigation Of all
the circumstances connected with the
affair, he rested his suspicious on
Mussey, and learning that he had left
here and gone to New York, followed
him on Wednesday, and, though using
every means known to detective geuius,
to gain knowledge Of his whereabouts,
it was not until Saturday forenoon last
that he succeeded in finding him, when
Mr.. johnson met Mussey on Broadway,
and introduced himself, telling him the
nature Of his business, and asking the
accused to accompany him to the city
post Office, with which request Mussey
readily complied. Upon arriving there,
two hours conversation occurred be-
tween the detective and the accused, at
the conclusion OF which the latter con.
lessed his guilt, when he was taken In
custody by Mr.. Walling, a New York
detective, detailed for special duty at
the post office, and conveyed to the 5th
precinct station house, where be was
confined until Sunday evening, when he
WAS again placed in the custody of Mr..
Johnson and brought here as mentioned
above.
Upon searching the trunk OF Mussey
after his arrest, some 5000 worth of lot
terry tickets we're found, as also 8 por.
tion of the stamps taken from the Post
Office here, while on his person were
1888 in money and a bill of clothing to
the amount of 1882, In which he had
just invested. 1t was elicitedsduring
the conversation that took place at the
Post Office In New York that the pris-
oner had disposed OF the greater portion
of the distracted stamps TO Dodd e.
Brother, booksellers, SO Nassau street, at
s discount Of 10 per cent. from their
value, q fact which the Dodds subse-
Quently acknowledged. These or their
value will no doubt be recovered.
Mr.. Johnson, who has so successfully
worked up the case, is special agent of
the Post Office Department, having in
charge the district of Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont and Massachusetts,
has been In the business for 8 number OF
years, and is one of the most successful
shadows" in the employ of the govern
ment.
1t was Mr.. Mussey's intention to have
len New York yesterday for Omaha, Ne,
brsska, where, We learn, he had accepted
a position In a bank. We shall give the
result OF the examination in his case in
our next issue.

SOUTH CAROLINA The probability
that South Carolina has voted for Con-

that most of the States lately in rebel

The HOMICIDE AT HAMPTON, N. Y. -
few days since brief account ap-
peared of the affray which occurred at
Hampton, N. Y, on the Sd inst, which
resulted in the death of William Horen.
On the 5th inst. an inquest was held by
Paul C. Wells, Esq, of Whitehall, and
Jury was summoned composed OF the
following named gentlemen Amos COL
ms, Aaron G. Broughton, Stewart Will
son, James L. Clark, Lucius Collins,
iohu O'Donnel, Jesse Wilson and George
c. Martin, all residents OF Hampton, and
amolg It's most intelligent citizens.
From the evidence taken on the in.
quest, we gather the following facts
Richard NcGrath left his home at about
half past six o'clock Tuesday evening, to
go over to Poultney. On going towards
the bridge, he met friend who said he
had BEEN struck with gun and threat.
ened With death, and asked McGrath IL
he would stand by him. McGrath re-
piled he would, and as they walked to.
wards the bridge over POuItney River,
three men started up from it, and one of
them struck McGrath three blows; Nc.
Grath opened his overcoat and threat.
ened to shoot them, trying to make them
believ, he had revolver, when, st that
time, be had none. They said they
didn't care for his revolver, and they
would have his life. He retrested into
Mr.. Woods store and aeked for a revol.
yer, which was given him. 1t was
self cocker. He then went to the store
door Gd exhibited the revolver, and
said be would shoot the first man that
assailet him. VIM. Horen then rushed
up, foEed him oack to the counter,
got his hand into McGrath's scarf, and
commenced choking him. Four or five
others .so rsshed in and struck st him
over Hren's shoulders. Mr.. Wood tried
to get Eoren of from McGrsth, but he
was himself taken away by thescrowd
that rrshed in after Horen. McGrath
kept saying, "For mercy's sake don't
kill me, boys, and wont shootp HOren
kept belding him back over the counter
and choking him with the scarf, saying,
"I will kill him pretty soon," until
finally HcGrath fired, reaching his right
arm apund under the left. The bali
entered the stomach, causing internal
hemorriage. He had strosg hold Of
McGran, and was with difficulty torn
away acer he was shot. He started to

The FAIR-Tho festival to aid the
ladies of the Cumberland Presbyterian
Church in adjoining the same was inau.
gurated at the Stillman Hall, corner OF
Madison and Second streets, last evening.
The hall has been decorated in manner
that reflects taste on the mind that con.
ceived and the fairy hands that arranged
the ornamentation. On entering the hall
our eye was attracted by the lovely faces
and graceful movements of fair ladies
with beaming countenances and bright
eyes sparkling with joy and filed with
earnestness for the good cause they were
engaged in. Fronting the door was a
large table filled with choice specimens of
the skill of the ladies of the congrega-
ton, comprising variety of articles too
numerous to mention, which were made
by them for the occasion and marked
with the price. The tablets very attrac.
tive, and the handsome young la
dies who grace it and are ready
to attend to customers, are not the
least of its attractions. This table is
thanked by refreshment stands, filled with
delicacies well calculated to make any
person partake, and have bills of fare,
with prices marked down, so that sup
per can be INDUCED in with regard to
the depth Of the pocket. On either side
of the hall are several small restaurant
tables, where happy couples can enjoy
supper and delightful tete tete at the
same time In one corner is the post
