The Hon. Henry T. Blow is spoken of as
proper candidate for Governor of Missou-
RI. The Alexandria Blade says of him:
" MIR. Blow is eminently the man for the
time From poor boy he has grown up
with Missouri, a merchant, manufacturer,
a minister to foreign court, member Of
Congress, and of the Committee of WAYS
and Means His experience has been such
as to qualify him to understand and advance
the interests of the State. A Republican

may be relied upon to be true to our party.
A financier, who has, by his own ability and
exertion, amassed a large fortune, he will
be able to lead our State finances to the de-
sired results. An able and eloquent speak
er he can make an effective canvass as our
candidate"

interposes legal barriers between debtor and

AN EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY OF
ROBBERS. An Indiana correspondent
of q Cincinnati paper gives the follow
ing account of Il notorious family of rob-
bcrs, who have troubled the vicinity of
Seymour, Indiana, for the past few
years. The fatheris William Reno, who
was regarded as an honest man until re-
Gently, although he was very eccentric,
and applications had been made to have
guardian placed over him, on the
ground of insanity. His wife obtained
a divorce from him when the applica-
ton for guardian was refused, and
since that time the boys have lived
some of the time with her, and some of
the time with the father. The account
says:
There are five boys-Frank, John,
Sim, Clint and Bill. OF these Clint is
considered strictly honest and honOra-
bic; Frank and John are known to be
safe-blowers, &c, and Sim and Bill,
though nothing is positively known
against them, they are looked upon
with suspicion. The first robbery of
note they committed was GLOWING"
a safe at Azalia, Bartholomew county,
Indiana, by which they got $1O,OOO.-
Frank left the country and wentto Can
ada, it was said, when q cousin of his
turned States evidence against him.
He is now under bonds to appear before
the United States Court at Indianapolis.

in the same county, but is in no danger
OF conviction, as the principal witness
against him, Grant Williams, was as
sassinated a short distance from his own
house, in jackson county, about three
| years ago.
Frank, while supposed to be in Cans
da, would occasionally visit the States
and rob some safe that was left unguard-
ed, and so expert was he, that he was
never detected. In these operations
John was supposed to have hand
There were numerous robberies commit
ted in and near Seymour in 1S64-5, in
which, it is supposed John bore a con-
spicuous part, though there were no al
rests, as the people seemed to be afraid
of the destruction of their property if
anything was done to ferret out the
thieves.
In October, 1866, the express car was
robbed, near Seymour, of about $45 900;
though $3OOOO in safe, was recovered.
John Reno and Frank Sparks were ar
rested as principals, and Sim. Reno as
an accomplice, but were soon bailed out.
About five or six months afterward
Frank and John robbed the safe of one
Of the counties in the northern part of
the State, and secured about $4,000. -
Frank was tried and acquitted of the
charge, but his lawyer said, after the
trial, that he and John were guilty.
Last December John robbed a safe in
Gallatin, Missouri, and is now serving
out sentence of twenty-five years in
the Missouri Penitentiary for his crime.
