HYDEvILLE.-On Monday last there
was quite an excitement ut the Depot
created by the arrest of a passenger on
the noon train, westward bound
1t appears that few hours before 81
man went into the Office OF i coal-dealer
in Rutland, and made payment of "a bill
In doing 50 he laid his pockct-book down
III a convenient place, out of sight of the
dealer but in full view of Frcnchman
standing III the Office. On departing he
forgot to take up his pocket-book, and did
not miss it till an hour afterwards
Meantime the Frenchman on passing out
into the street, improved his opportunity
and bore off with him the coveted treas
ure.
On discovering his loss, tie owner was
able to trace it to the agency of the
could describe, and by this means the
thief was tracked to West Rutland, where
he had taken the cars.
Hydeville was telegraphed to stop the
train and make the arrest of the person
described. On entering the passenger car
a Frcnchman answering to the descrip-
ton was found sitting at ease, and war
rant was served on him, greatly to his
surprise and modification. His face
colored to crimson he protested innocence
and made such statements as corroborated
his protestation; but there he was, mir
rored by the description. States Attor-
ney Wood being in the car, was convin-
ced that there was some mistake in the
case, and by some arrangement made by
him, the passenger was allowed to pro-
ceed.
All this while, the real culprit was
sitting in the Depot at Castleton, waiting
to take the 1910 train southwark by way
of the Rutland and Washington Rail-
road. Poultney had been telegraphed
and officers were on the lookout A lit
tie after IL, officers from Rutland arrived |
at Castleton, entered the Depot, and found
their man sitting with head bent down,
and face partially covered. Immediately
after bis arrest he confessed guilty. His
statement showed that he walked from
Rutland to West Rutland, opened the
pocket-book while on the road, took out
the bills, amounting to about 81 200, and
threw it away, with the remainder of its
contents, being notes to the amount of
some 5000.
These are the statements made to me.
I do not vouch for their entire accuracy,

GEN. KnPATRICK's MUMMIEs.-When
Gen. Fitzpatrick, on returning from
South America some months ago, told the
story OF five hundred mummies rising
from the grave, or rather being thrown
up from the ground at the time Of the
earthquake in Peru, there was a great
deal of incrcdulity expressed about the
affair, but its truths have been fully
proved by Lima correspondent Of the
New York Times, who saw them, and de-
scribes them to have been in the most per-
feet preservation, every joint and bone
being perfect. The mummies were buried
ninety years ago.
