sumo her vivid description OF the scene

the magnitude OF the pest than they
have hitherto been able to form;
1T looks very sad and dreary TO me

as fast AS hailstones ever came. can
scarcely see through my screen door
for them, aud to look out as far as eye
can see, il looks like snow storm; as
they flv their wings look white flakes
of snow in the mir. They destroy every
thiag they alight on They have de''
troyed acres aud acres of corn, aud now
they are going in our coiniield by
clouds, and will destroy it all in day.
Every shrub and tree is covered win
them. You know We have read of Thar

pouring down the chimney and coming

they are coming faster, and are now
eating the netting off my doors and
windows, and the heat ana close air
are sitting. never saw anything 80
terrible in my lite The ground is now
completely covered and they cause
such an offensive smell that but for an
occasional breeze to carry it of, know
not what we should do.
Please excuse mistakes, as | feel so
bad and nervous under this awful
scourge and desolation.

JAMES R. BARRON.

Arrest OF the Notorious Jewclry md
Freight Robbcr.
- The Italians have proyerb that Moro foxes
than assea' skins find their way to the tanner.'
The truth Of this saying WAS mover moro fully
exemp1hcd than in the case ct James R. Barron,
alias almost any conceivable name. For the
past ten OF twelve years he has baen known to
the detective force of tho country as Que Of the
most successful aud shrewd robbers living.
Like many others OF his class, Barron was well
educated, aud belonged to Tcry respectable
family in Eimira. N. Y. He grew up very capa-
ble aud ambitious young man, and, after passing
some years in a bank i'll his native city, he came
to Chicago and entered the employ OF A. j.
Downs 4 Co., and afterwards that Of Field.
Letter i Co., in both Of which positions he
showed marked ability.
For some uuaccountable reason he suddenly
left honest work and adopted the profession OF
q thief, in which, rs before stated, ho has
been remarkably successful. As = Tu1e.
Barron covered up his trall so well that he was
rarely detected, and when he Was, in some manner,
known only to chosen fem, he always escaped
The readers OF THE TRIBUNE will remember that
some time last February Isaac Mills, travelling
salesman Of New York jewelry house. was
robbed Of about s., 600 worth OF je"e11y, in the
fremont Hou.e, and also how Barron and
his accomplice, 1gnatius Schoen, we're arrested,
after = desperate fight, by Detective Iyrrell,
and also how Barron got out under Slo,ooo
atraW-bail md escaped.
Under such circumstances Us these, most Een
would haTe gone to some placs very remote
from Chicago, bnt Barron did nothing OF the
kind. Under an alias he lived here in the city and
superintended the thorough and systematic
course Of stealing that was waged against the
cars Of the Star Union Line, and, when sufficient
plunder Ind been obtained, he would go to St-
Louis OF Cincinnati and there dispose OF his
"booty." In the Inter city, G. Radamacher 69
and much OF the $35,ooo worth OF
goods lost By the line undoubtedly went
through there. These robberies grew so serious
that detectives were placed in tho express Offices
in the city to catch the persons shipping away
the stolen goods. At the Halsted street office OF
the American EXPRESS Company, Barron was one
day cornered by Officer Ryan, but he escaped by
jumping out OF tho window. and could not be
! found. During all this time Detective Tyrren
has been on the lookout for Barron, aud Sunday
uisht he left for Buffalo. Yesterday the follow
ing telegram was received 1T headquarters:
BUFFALO, Jan 6.
Jacob frhm Superintendent Tolice, Chicago:
captured James +. Barron Last night and start 1or
Chicago with him 1T O'Clock this afternoon.
pArn1CK D. TXRRHL-
This tells the whole story. man, Who, by
deyoting to some honest business one-halt the
ability and energy tha1 he has given to thleving,
might have made his mark in the world, is no"
arrested and almost sure Of conviction and q long
imprisonment.
