occurred in this city yesterday afternoon. In
this the attention Of the Ga hier o. The bank
is attractsd for moment, whether ACCIDENTALLY
or by de- IGN does not appear and prcst5, Sl7.cs
are spirited away in short a time a., In tn oc-
cupation of business hours, would seem 70 lie
inappreciable.
The cashier of the Bank OF the Republic yes-
terday AFTERNOON, had package OF bonds, con-
rlining in the aggregate .OoJ, CONSISTING Of
six 520 bonds for elts0 each, numbered from
lU2-615 10 I 1863 inclusive. five Missouri State
Bond. Iss ued 10 the Northern Missouri Railroad
Company, each for Sl.usO. and numbered 81,

State, ISSUED to the Cairo and Fulton Railroad
Company for $1,000 each, numbered TO- i52,
sued 10 tie Pacific Railroad Company for

The cashiers attention was diverted from the
package for an instant, aud on turning 10 has

teresting question. IL could no where be found,
and the mystery is still more complicated by
the fact that the Office il not one 10 which the
public in general has access
Information was lodged with Inspector Dlss

search somewhat. The thief Is not likely 20
