NAIL ROBBER ARRESTED.

o. S. Garvin, the mail-carrier be
tween Brandon and Raleigh, was
arrested on Saturday night last,
charged with robbing the mail.
The proof of his guilt, we under
stand is positive, but the amount
he has stolen has not yet been asccr-
tanned. A detective started out to
hunt up a lost letter containing S25,
which it was believed Garvin had
stolen, and whilst tracing it up, Mr..
Geo. N. Lanford, with whom he
boarded, found two letters in Gar
WINS room, with the envelopes
broken open and the money ex-
tracted. One of these Was directed
to the Vicksburg Herald, and the
other to New York paper. On
Sunday morning our Postmaster
went to Garv1n's room and found
about twenty letters that had been
broken open, and among them some
that had only been written a few
days previous. On examination
the mail bag that he brought from
Raleigh on Friday, it was found
that one side of the hasp through
which the lock goes had been
broken off. which enabled him to
take the lock out. extract the let
tiers, and then replace the lock so
that the break would not be noticed
unless closely scrutinized. Garvin
is about % or % years of age. and
was raised, we believe, in Smith
county. He was Eeld to bail i'll the
