DESTlTUTION ALONG THE MID

LIBERTY, N. Y, March 4, 1874.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
notice in your paper the number Of poor
in your city out OF employment and IN need OF the
necessaries OF life. Now, Mr.. Editor / wish to
bring to your notice that hundreds OF families in
these districts, on the line OF the New York and
Oswego Midland Railroad, are in the greatest
distress through the non-payment of its debts due
to the labOrers previous to the receiver being ap-
pointed. Merchants cannot allow the men any
more credit and do justice to their business. They
have trusted the men on the faith OF the railroad
company, who have failed to meet their obliga-
tons. And what are these poor people TO do
There Is no work for them; they cannot obtain any,
Receiver Hewitt no doubt Is doing all IN his
power to make the road pay its present expenses,
yet the employees under his administration have
nearly two months pay back and 1t Is rumored
that he intends to pay part cash and part "scrip"
or certificates OF Indebtedness, Tor the month of
January Should he 40 this he may look for more
trouble with the employees than the road has yet
experienced. Yet this Midland Company should
do something to relieve the distress prevailing
among their late employees, ana they should act
without delay. 1t is their duty, and IL is to be
hoped that some Of the officials at least Will give
their attention and relieve some OF the distressed
ones. Respectfully, AN INTERESTED PARTY.

Where Is the Thicf2

Yesterday afternoon two young men, fashionably
atured entered the jewelry store of Mr.. Tice cor
ncr Of Fulton and Johnson Streets and asked to be
permitted TO examine a tray of diamond pins. The
gems were closely scrutinized by the pretended
customers, who displayed pretty accurate Knowl-
edge OF the size, weight and value OF diamonds.
Mr.. Tice, who was In possession OF descrpttO Of
two men VINO had but a few days previous sex
changed" a cheap diamond ring for one worth 5000
at another store, thought he recognized q slmi-
larity between the new customers and the men OF
whom ne had heard. He therefore quietly notified
the clerk who was attending the men to keep .
sharp eye on them" Eventually they went out
together without making purchase and close
inspection OF the tray disclosed the fact that a
diamond worth $50 had been left by them In ex-
change for a stone worth $780, The police were
notified, but nothing that could tend TO throw
light upon the whereabouts OF the thieves could be
