bank to the amount OF several thousands of dollars
had occurred. The shareholders are FOR the most

who heard suspicious noises coming rom the bank.

SINGULAR CASE IN MICHIGAN.-Two wears
ago Thomas Bunbury, promising" Young
iDsn in Niles, Michigan, who had been twice
elected tax collector, ran away with 1T, 600 of
the city's fund. The authorities offered a re-
as appears from the correspondence OF the Dc =
troit Post, were as follows: "The sheriff frs I,
made an attachment on the horses, buggIes,
be cks, and stock In trade of the father. Edward
Bunbury, and sold enough of the same TO realize
the amount stolen. After the laws DELAY in
the circuit court, the case went to the supreme
court, where Edward Bunbury recoved iudg-
ment against the county for the value of the
property sold on levy and costs, &c. This the
tax payers throughout the country will have Z .
pay. During these proceedings young Bun
bury was wandering through Texas with a
yonng wife from fine family whom he married
the day before he stole the money. The reward
offered for his arrest failed to bring h m back.
But last night the father offered to give the On
over to Sheriff Weimer on payment Of the re-
ward. The sheriff was incredulops, but fol-
lowed his informant 10 Bunbury's residence.
He was conducted to q small but comfortable
room up stairs, and there, langushing with On
sumption, pale, emaciated, and suffering from
PHYSICAL pain ana torments of conscience, lay a
helpless piece of humanity, for which
Edward Bunbury demanded $500. Weimer
not having the cash in hand withdrew
for counsel and advice. The young man cannot
nov be removed, but will be arrested as soon O.
he can be. Thomas told the officer that he 81 ad
been in the house four months, and relates facts
to prove his statement"
