MYSTERIOUS RoBBBBy UNEARTHED.--lt
will be remembered that in January, 1858,
the treasury of Coshocton country, OHIO, was
robbed OF some $22, 900, and it was given out
that it was robbed by gang of thieves. II
seems that the sheriff. hearing unusual noise
in that office, rushed In and found the trea-
surer lying on the floor gagged, his keys
taken from him, and that amount of money
missing. After aome delay, certain parties
where arrested for the crime, and kept IN
confinement for year, under pretence that
there was evidence TO convict. They were
finally discharged, as no such evidence was
produced. The Ohio Legislature passed an
act of relese for the treasurer, but Republi-
cans did not believe the story in circulation,
and tile Coschocton Age charged the Demo
cratic treasurer and sheriff with the theft.
The charge was denied, and SANDER suit
for $50, 900 was brought against Joe Dwyer.
publisher Of the Age, which Is still pending
in the courts ff-f
Subsequently James Brown, a wealthy
banker at Coshocton, but notorious for having
been frequently Indicted for various offences,
was arrested and indicted for the crime. The
indictments, however, were yitiated on the
ground of some technical difficulty 1t ap
pears that Brown had loaned the Treasurer
sec, 900, aud that SO, 500 was paid back In
December, 1867, and 81, 500 few days prlol
to the robbery. This led Attorney Genera
West to believe that this money was part o.
the missing funds, and he recently com
menced suit against Brown for recovery o.
the States portion Of same, and at the SAINT
time attached his property. Brown has now
made confession of the entire transaction
and in consequence OF that 1t is stated tina
the Treasurer, Samuel Ketchum, and Sheriff
Rodebarer, have been arrested and lodget
in Jail, on the charge of being the real au
thors OF the robbery.

INCREASE OF INSANITY FROM INTEMPER.
sets, in his annual report, just issued, makes
the following statement
The excessive drinking of wine and ardent
spirits has brought insanity upon many per-
sons during the last year. This indulgence
seems to be increasing very greatly, and itH
consequences are, indeed, alarming. More
persons, and chiefly young men, either posl
lively insane, or who have been seriously
damaged mentally or physically, by this
cause, have come under our professional
observation or have applied here for advice
aud relief during the last year, than W.
can remember before for the same length o
time"

STORM SIGNALS DURING HARvEsT,-A
Correspondent Of the Washington intea.geh.
Ger calls attention 10 the serious injury Gone
TO the crops by storms which sweep over
wide surface, and makes the following SUE
gestions.
When n storm commences in any part o.
the country, and is travelling IN certain VI
rection, or Is spreading in many directions,
the first telegraph station over which II passes
should send the news instantly 10 all tne
telegraph stations at county seats, humorous
OF miles in advance in the direction that tue
storm is travelling. AT each of those county
seats cannon might be kept ready, and as
soon as the news Is received OF an approach
ing Storm II is to be ired three times, AT lh-
tervals of fteo minutes il Ii Is a hurricane, al
intervals of fec minutes if the storm 10 tray
cling rapidly, and at intervals OF ten minutes
If II is travelling slowly. AS cannon can
be heard distinctly from fifteen to twenty
miles in all directions, by firing one al each
county seat the farmers for hundreds oil miles
over the whole country would be warned IN
time to get their grain or hay under cover,
or in situation 10 shut out the rain. Ana
this warning would not only be useful ia
harvest, but also in seeding time, ana IN
many other situations too numerous 10 mem
ton, not only to farmers but the public gen.
orally. II this plan should meet with general
approval, 1t may be set into operation imme-
diately. Arrangements may be made be-
tween the county officials in all the States.
If the newspapers would then publish the
storm signals, which should be posted In
every house oyer the whole country, the
plan would be complete, and in couple oil
months the storm-guns would commence "a

TENNEssEE.-At the Conservative Con.
vention in Nashville, April 1, an unsuccessful
attempt was made to obtain negro delegates
by the very man who had savagely opposed
the Franchise bill passed by the Republican
Legislature. The Union and Dispatch few
days before had said: "Let us fling our whole
souls into it. Take the negro into your Con-
venuon. Give him place by your side. Aye,
make him Vice President, let him sit side
by side with your first officer in token of
eternal reconciliation and fraternity This
advice was not taken, at least by the negroes.
The Press and Times says IA member OF
the Convention went about among the colored
bystanders and tried 10 coax them to let him
have their names as delegates TO the meeting.
Can't come that trick over me; boss, said
one. Itsno use trying that little game, said
another, pirouetting on his heel. A third
put his finger to his eye and asked ''Do you
see anything greenY The delegate hunter al
last grew desperate and asked n quiet looking
darkey for his name. What you want my
name for2' asked the latter. %, ! only wished
to know where you live The name wai
given, whereupOn friend stepped up and
Whispered in his ear. Quick as lightning the
enraged daIsey bplted ailer his interrogatoi
and said, Look here, boss, you Jest take my
name of dat paper. ] amt no fooln Tht
