A Singular Story.

The following narrative of the crimina
 operations of Robert N. Woodwork vii
 serve to show that life of crime not un-
 frequently forms romance of no little in
 terest. Compared with the tame details o'
 defslcations nowadays, it is, to say tn
 least, a remarkable contrast. In 1858, be-
 coming involved in financial difficulties, Mr.
 Robert N. Woodwork, then cashier of the
 National Bank at Brighton, contrived in various ways to secure $6O.OoO of the
 banks funds. With this sum he disap- pssred, and sometime afterwards engaged in business in New York or New Jersey. Either a compromise was effected or the stockholders of the bank were not disposed to prosecute him, and no portion of the money was recovered. Affairs thus con- tinued for number of years. Wood worth, as president of carpet company. ohtained many favors at the hands of cer-- tain officers of bank in New Brunswick N. J. These fsvors culMinatcd a shor, time ago, when Il defalcation of &7OO, 900 Was discovered the cashier and Woodworth being accused ss I't sciity p.rlius Scv- erai months ago No"i~nrth came on visit to Newton, where Mrs. WOodworth resides, and while there he had an inter view with the officers of the Brighton bunk, the result of which is not known, except that he agreed to make restitution of the r oney in monthly miscellaneous of $l,0OO each. He paid 1000, and again hurriedly departed, leaving the stockhold- CTS to whistle for the rest of that large sum- These gentlemen, while they did not whistle, were, nevertheless, powerless to obtain what was due them. This event was rather wished for than hoped, and as time passed the chances of it's recovery grew still less. A few days ago. however. | in some manner not apparent, it was ascer- tained that he was again iu Newton. By | adroit management he was captured and | writ for money had and received was i'm l medistely served on him, as he could not | be reached through criminal process, or | by warrant for the conversion of the | money. He manifested but little surprise at his misfortune, and obtained sureties fol the amount of the bail, which is $6o, 900 A gentleman from Brighton and q relative ot his own are his bondsmen.

SoLDIERs' FARE IN rH1 REVOLUTION. Some curious old papers, some of them or state affairs, have lately come iato the DOS session of the Secretary of War at Wash inRton. The following is sadly interesting Tor the disclosures 1t makes of terrible pri vations in the patriot cause in the Revolu- tionsry days. such as finally tempted too successfully one brilliant officer to become . traitor
 Arnold's sufferings do not excuse him, for the rest suffered as much as he and re = mAinsd true.
 Among the papers is a letter of Benedict Arnold, written just forty four days before he consigned his name to infamy. It is dated West Point and addressed to Col. Pickering. Quartermaster at Philadelphia. It sells sad story of the privations of the Revolutionary heroes. He states: "That there is not tent or any kind of camp equipage at that poverty struck place, "that "the quartermaster's department is entirely empty" and that ''there is only one camp kettle to eighty or one hundred men"
 He complains very bitterly of this state of things. and begs Col. Pickering to find s remedy, and adds postscript to his let Ter in which he says: "There is not quire of paper or article of stationery at this post or in this department"
 To this grievous complaint Col. Picker jag replied: ''l am unhappy to inform you that have not received one fsrthing Of money for any purpose whatever, nor can get any, there being none in the treas ary, and the articles cannot be supplied.
 "You shall hear from me again when get to headquarters, which shall be when can obtain money enough to defray the expenses of the journey"
