A CURIOUS CASE or INSANITY.

From the Elmira IN. " Advertiser, Dec. 81.
Some two or three years ago Mrs. "A. J. Eiker wife
OF Andrew j. Riker OF Horseheads, exhibited syinp-
toms OF insanity bat OF rather harmless character.
and she continued In charge of her family duties ana
affairs for considerable time after the appearance

much worse that she was refaoyed to the Insane
Asylum, where she improved 70 such an extent thAt
ahe was pronounced sufficiently recovered TO return
to her family. she WAS accordingly Brought beck to
Horseheads, where she has since resided, although
II was apparent that she was not altogether In her
right mind. A week ago on saturday night, the
husband on going home quite late In the evening,
was surprised TO find hs wife busily engaged In WASH
Ing, which she had nearly completed, and was Just
about proceeding 10 hang out her clothes. She waa
finally dissuaded from putting out the clothes as it
was then nearly sunday morning. The excitement
attendant upon that nights labor caused her roalady
TO increase. and Friday night OF last week Mr.
Rlker. upon going home found the kitchen stove red
hot and a roaring IRE burning therein and his wife
buslly engaged In putting IN dry wood as fast as
space would permit. He inquired what she meant
by having such unusual fire at that time OK night.
she replied that "Shc Just agoing 10 roast their
baby; that she intended 10 have one good meal out
OF that child" The truth flashed across the husbands
mind In an instant that his wife was rayng
maniac, and that he had reached home just Ia time

Seizure Of tho Effects or tho Accused.
The circumstances attending the theft OF the gov
eminent funds board the receiving ship Vermont,
as we'll az the responsibility OF the accused abscond
ing clerk, Robert D. Bogart, who was widely known,
not only in Brooklyn and New York, but likewise
throughout the navy, has concentrated more than
ordinary interest, perhaps, upon this, the latest
embezzlement in the government service, The facts
in the case have previously been given in the
HERALD. On Friday last Paymaster Clark, OF the
receiving ship Vermont appeared before United
states Commissioner Jones and filed an AFFIDAVIT or
complaint IN regard to the robbery.
Acting upon this formal complaint the United
States Commissioner issued warrant for the arrest
OF Bogart and also caused 10 be placed In the hands
OF United STATES Marshal Dallon attachment for
The Marshal Immediately proceeded 20 execute the
order, and seized the carriage, two fine horses,
household furniture and other effects OF Bogart. the
proceeds Of which WILL II Is believed when sold, go
ar towards reimbursng the government for ts loss
sustained In this robbery The case IT, In domestic
sense peculiarly sad, az he leaves young wife and
little child almost entirely unprovded for.
The amount distracted from the safe IL thus shown
TO have been more than was currently reported, YET
at the same time II would appear from the version
given publicity to by the friends OF the errng clerk
In question that robbery was not so much the incen.
to have been incurred by him In Wall street, where
he ~ said TO have recently been dealing largely IN
stocks with decided MI success. That no was al
dcted to gambling Is stoutly denied by those who
were on intimate terms with hifn In his
habits, though not total abnuneice man, ne
was never noticed 10 be intoxicated. He was
fond OF display, as many young officers OF the navy
are, and affected decided snobbish AR, wearing
glasses and always keeping pace with tue latest fash
ions the selections for his wardrobe. During the
early part of the war he was appointed an Assistant
Paynaster In which capacity no was regarded
competent person and trustworthy. Az the close OF
the rebellion he received an honorable discharge from
the service and shorty AFTER through the influence
OF some OF his friends received the important and
responsible position which he held up TO Monday,
the 3otn OF November, this being the last
time he was seen at the desk board the
receiving ship There was about 500 900 IN the safe
at the time the money was distracted but $4,000
OF which, as stated, was stolen. He enjoyed the
utmost confidence OF his superiors FOR honesty aud
integrity and the discovery OF this unfortunate EVIL
dence OF his guilt was therefore most startling and
for the time being was scarcely credited by has
friends
Admiral Godon Is exertng every effort possible TO
ferret out the whereabouts OF the alleged eiinqueut
and bring him to justice, while II il also affirmed
that the friends OF Bogart desirous OF satisfying
the claims OF the government by reIrnbursing the
