The story of Tom Creess Life and
Flight from Granville, NY.

A correspondent of the New York
World, writing from Granville under
date of February 9th, says:
The facts of the life that am giving
as briefly and tersely as possible, have
startled this section of the State far and
wide.
Last Friday Thomas Cree commonly
known hereabouts as Tom" Cree-was
put in bankruptcy at Buffalo. Born on
an island OF Lake Champlain, spending
his early days in p0or-house, cared for
in boyhood by kind benefactor, he now
turns up as one of the boldest adyentur-
ers whose deeds have ever been recorded
in this State. Mr.. j. H. Northrup, of
North Granville, was the foster-parent
of Tom Cree, brought him up in his own
family, and amid surroundings that were
pleasant and pure. Even as lad, Cree
developed a speculative spirit and finally
became widely known as a dealer in
"horse gold" by selling cheap imitation
gold watches at horse-races and fairs.
He developed as a speculator after sew
eral attempts to continue IN fixed and
permanent business, and soon by the
boldnesS OF his transactions and the
prOdigality of his expenditures, became
widely known as a man of wealth. This
brought influence and increased bust
ness, and in the end made Tom Cree one
of the foremost men in this section of
Washington County. Carrying out his
operations with still holder endeavors he
announced, few years ago, that he was
going West as banker He took with
him the fruits of his extensive specula-
tons Gin which he had made much
wealth. and really established several
banks in Iowa-one at Belle Plain. an
other at Tama City, and sill another at
Nevada City. These operations only
improved his financial standing with his
creditors here, and his borrowing opera
tons were almost unlimited. He is al
legged to have received several loans on
forged and fictitious mortgages One of
these was on an extensive tract of land
in Iowa which, an investigation showed,
was the property of Cakes Ames. To
another bank in this section he present
ed mortgage for 5000 on an entire
section of land in Iowa. Developments
just made indicate that no such section
Ono such number) exists in that State

EVANS Confession. I'm the pretended
confession of Evans, the Northwood,
n. H., murderer, he refers to assaulting
and cutting the throat of a girl fourteen
years old in Augusta, in 1861, for which,
as he says, another man was convicted
and sentenced to the Stase Prison, where
he died. Such is not the case, and the
writer of the confession doubtless had
in mind a dim recollection of the case in
Strong, Franklin county, in that year,
the only one which by any possibility
he could refer to, where a little gIrl
named Libby, who WIS on her way TO
Sabbath school, was seized and borne to
a neighbOring wood, where her person
was brutally outraged and then stabbed
and buried beneath some leaves. One
Lawrence Doyle, who lived in the same
family with the little girl, was arrested
on charge of having committed the
crime. The jury failed to agree on the
fist trial, but on the second ne was con-
victed Of murder in the first degree.

Credit mobiler---Somethin about
Railroads. and Modern Finan-
ciering.

Editor Rutland Herald. The Credit
Mobilier Investigation, now being had
before committee in Congress, attracts
much attention; indeed has been the
leading topic in the newspapers for
many weeks. Precisely what will come
of it, is impossible now to determine.
A large amount of testimony has been
taken, and this work is not vet COM
pleted. Suspicion now rests upon
Messrs. Colfax, Patterson, Garfield and
some others, as having had connection
with the Credit Mobilier, and it is claim
ed the evidence shows that these gen.
tlemen are guilty of falsehoods in an
eendeavor to screen themselves from the
charges of bribery and corruption. Of
this we can judge better when the evil
dence is all in, and the committee have
made their report Public opinion now
seems to be dealing severely and harshly
with Messrs Colfax, Patterson aud
others; bnt we could wish that judg-
ment would be suspended until the hear
ing is completed, and the report Of the
