The Missing New York Collector.

Whatever may have been Mr.. Bailey's rea-
son for his disappearance, there is no doubt of
the use which he has made Of the money which
he has illegally appropriated. 1t has been ex-
pended in conducting the prosecution of whis-
key thieves and revenue defrauders, the law
requiring that collectors engaging in this war
fare shall almost entirely bear their own ex-
penses. Bailey fought against men who wiel-
ded millions, and his private resources we're
entirely inadequate. There is no evidence
that he has appropriated any Of the missing
money for his own profit, and his intimate ao-
quaintances most earnestly insist that he has
employed the government money only in The
government service.
Less than & week before his departure, Bal
ley borrowed $3.50 of Assessor Cleveland, Of
his district, and subsequently returned 800 Of
It. He also borrowed sum much larger from
Mr.. Runkle, Of the Tribune Office, and he ev-
identity had but small amount Of money in
his possession when he left. The stories of
his extravagsnee in family matters and reck-
less profusion in personal expenses are simply
fabrioations. He offered for sale, the other
day, for $50, one Of that span Of blacks which
the papers have appraised at $4,000, and he
magnificent landed estate in New Jersey con-
sists Of few hundred acres Of wild lands,
brought in company with Mr.. Runkle, on long
time and at low interest. Mr.. Bailey's family
are entirely without means, and, except the
furniture Of the house which they occupy, al
most in destitute circumstances. His wife is
utterly ignorant Of her husbands fate, and
completely prostrated, mentally and physi-
caIly, by tho fearful Springfield (HasS)

FREMONT, APRIL D, 1871.
ED1roR JOURNAL; I I'm this day in receipt
ofs copy Of q bill presented to Congress by
Hon. T. F Dickinson, which eontemplates the
relinquishment of "whatever title may remain
IN the United States, TO a certain parcel Of
ground in Fremont, Ohio, to the corporation
Fremont" and take this early opportunity to
urge upon our citizens the importance Of
taking immediate steps towards the accom-
plishment of the purposes Of the bill. This
tract of land (in its present condition only an
impediment TO our prosperity once in the
possession and ownership of our city may, by
slight expenditure, become a means Of adding
much 10 our material growth Other towns
and cities donate, at great expense to their
citizens, lands and other property to men and
companies for manufacturing purposes, and
reap important benefits from such donations;
now why not we, when 50 economical an op-
portunity presents itself, follow their example;
Let our city fathers at once proceed to me-
morialize Congress upon the subject.
Respectfully yours, OSCAR BALL.

on Wednesday, March, s3d. She was wild
ow lady, about ninety years Of sge, and lived
alone, One Of her neighbors, having occasion
to go 70 her house, found her lying upon her
face, on the floor, whore she had been stricken
down with sudden death. When discovered,
the body presented horrible and ghsstly spec
taele. The flesh had been tom from the
breast and right arm, by hogs which had
gained access to the room, through the open
doors. The whole body would have undoubtly
been deVoured, by the animals, had it not
been that a quantity Of meal and apples we're
in the room, and satisfied their ravenous ap-
pstities. She, had probably been dead less
than twenty four hours, as she vas seen by a
neighbor the day before her body was discov-
cred. The cause Of her death is not known,
but she is supposed to bave ruptured a blood
vessel No inquest was held, as every thing

SoXE YEARS since poor but talented
gentleman of The medical profession conceived
the idea that if he could produce medicine Of
universal application and extraordinary merit
and make It known he could not only enrich
himself and escape the drudgery of ay Phsic-
ians life but also benefit the sick in a greater
measure than by his private practice. He
therefore consulted with the best Physicians
he could find and he result was the produc-
ton of the Judson's Mountain Herb Pills,
famous and most successful medicine. He be-
gan in small way to make the Mountain
Herb Pills known by advertising them and
such was the value Of his Pills that in a few
wears he had not only amassed Torture but
had that rare satisfaction for a rich man, of
having relieved the sick, and benefited his
fellow men in every part of the country, as
thousands of greateful testimonials could
prove. The Judson's Mountain Herb Pills
have cured Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint,
Female Irregularities andsll Bilious disorders
This little sketch serves both to adom a tale
and point a moral, DR.. Judson's Pills were
meritorious and the Doctor himself knew the
value of printers ink. Sold by all dealers.
