TIE ARREST OF A BOSTON ROGUE IN CHARLES
roN.-The arrest, in this city, last week, OF
Robert Preston alias George Richmond, Tor rop-
.bing an insurance company near Boston, Massa-
chusetts, Of $1,000, has excited some comment,
and some Of the city papers have given pubicl-
ty to apochryphal accounts calculated to eX-
cite sympathy for the female by whom Pres
ton was accompanied. The following state
ment, which We find in the Boston Post of De-
cember so, gives correct statement OF the
facts Of the robbery-not "embezzlement," as
has been ststed-and throws some light upon
the antecedents of the precious pair who were
making tour upon the proceeds OF Preston's
rascahty, when that worthy was identified and
caught. The Post says:
"A day or two since it was discovered that
the vault Of the Dorchester Mutual Insurance
Company, at Neponset, had been robbed Of
$1,000, chiefly in United States securities, de-
posted therein by various persons for SAFE
keeping. Suspicion rests on young man
named Robert Preston, employed as under
clerk in the Office OF the company. He has abb
soonded in company with q young woman
named Nellie. whom he took from house or
ill-repute in this city, and whom he boarded
for short time at respectable house In Sum-
mer-street, passing her off as his wife. 1t was
Thought that they went to New York, and are
now on their way to California. Preston is
twenty-seven years old, respectfully connected
with residents at Milton Lower Mills, and sus-
tanned good reputation generally among busi-
ness men. The woman business seems to
have turned him from the path Of honesty and
virtue. The following is statement OF the
treasure distracted: Three thousand dollars,
the property Of the town OF Dorchester; four
Thousand dollars, mostly in seven-thirties, be-
longing to MIR. E. A. Perkins, Of Dorchester,
and which had been placed in the Office for
safe keeping but few days before; seven hum
dred dollars belonging to q trust fund held by
Mr. Thomas F. Temple; four hundred dollars
in Government bonds; and two hundred dol
lars Of gold coupons due in January, belong
ine to the Dorchester Insurance Company, and
sundry smaller matters belonging to indlvid-
nails"
The above described parties arrived at the
Mills House on Sunday, December 2sth, regis
tariue as George Richmond and wife, OF Call
iornia, and being suspected of being fugit'yes
from Justice by one of the detectives In the
denartment of the Provost Marshal General
thew were reported to General Kinks, wno'
after investigating the case, ordered them to
be arrested just as they were about to leave on
the boat for Savannah last Tuesday evening.
I'm the person of Preston was found about four
tbousand dollars of the stolen United States
bonds, and he confessed his name shortly al'e.
beinc arrested. The parties were committed
~ ;o;l IN Saturday evening, to await the arrl-
val Of requisition from Massachusetts, astate
constable from Massachusetts having reported
to General Kinks on Saturday afternoon 10
convey the fugitiYes to Boston.

TIE CHURCHES YRsTERDAY.-The beautiful
weather yesterday drew together large con-
gregations at al of our city churches. The
discourses delivered were generally upon sub
jects suggested by the opening Of another
year.
Bishop Wightman preached the morning
sermon at Trinity Church Yesterday. It being
the sacramental season, his discourse was
based upon that ordinance. The Bishop,
assisted by the Pastor, administered the
sacrament to the members of the church.
At the Circular Church an interesting SER
mon was delivered by the pastor, from the
fifteenth verse of the thirty third chapter Of
Exodus: 'sIf thy presence go not with me, carry
us not up hence" Mr.. Adams alluded to the
many good promises and resolves that were
made with the opening Of new year, and earn
estly advised his hearers to consecrate them
selves to God, or their resolutions would be Of
no avail. The present year promised to be
one of peculiar trials, and many who now
looked forward to prosperity and happiness
might have their hopes bIghted; the Angel OF
Death might remove them, and their seats be
vacant before another year. He urged them
to consider the great subject Of religion while
there was yet time.
At the Cathedral Chapel Bishop Lynch
preached, this having been the first Sunday in
which he has occupied the pulpit of the chapel
for many months.
At st. Mary's, Hasel-street, Bishop Persico
oficiated and preached.

GEoLocIc.-Iowa is not only one Of, if
not the best farming state Of the late
Union. There is but little poor land in
the State Her wettest portions arc easily
drained and the finest cattle is the product
of pasturage. The timber is found on the
toughest and most untillable part Of her
territory. Water power unlimited is found
almost in every county--northward at least
and in addition to all this her geologic
bowels abound in valuable material in the
shape of stone, coal and other requisites
to build houses and comfort the inhabt-
ants. Our ideas have run this way be-
cause our friend Joseph Kennedy hands
us some specimens which he picked up in
recent trip toward sunset. A chunk of
coal from TT. Dodge, soft but valuable;
piece of gypsum from Waterloo, Bremen
county, are among the curiosities. The
gypsum is soft when dug, becomes build
ing material by exposure and is ''plastcr
of Paris" when ground. lie also hands
us petrifcation which looks like coral.
