Mr W. b Rose, cashier of the Gleve
land freight depot, disappeared last week
Thursday night and has not been seen or
heard from since. He was at work in
hA Office that night, and the next morn.
ing $4,000 were missing from the safe.-
Fears are entertained that he has been
foully dealt with.
Our Warren correspondents''Chips"-
after so long time, has favored Us with
another letter. BE corruseateS like g
rocket. or long tailed comet, and then
shoots of into illimitable space, and we
see no more of him for long time. His
perihilion, like some Of the other heavsn-
ly bodies, is at long intervals.

DYING HoRsEs.-Mayor Talcoit and
Mr.. George Willard have each lost
horse within few days rather suddenly,
and VIM. Vosler Of Saybrook, had s
rather valuable animal drop down dead
upon the road, few days since. Tue ma
ture of the disease is not very well de-
lined, and some spprehenslo slon is felt, lest
q new scourge may be developing itself.
Some Of the reporters from this place
to the Cleveland papers, have represent.
ed that the masquerade had been gotten
up for the benefit Of the Aid Society,"
This is not the fact It was gotten up,
as we are informed, for the benefit of the
dancing school, and the charity feature
was an after thought. Some Of the young
people have regretted this representa-
ton. The amount given TO the Aid So
ciety wss $50.
While the play At the Opera House
Was in progress, on Friday evening, the

damage than the burnIng Of moderate
sized hole, and the rent in pulling itaway
from its fasienings. The audience was
reminded that it was part of the drama
not put down in the bills, and the play
went on.
We are told. says the Cleveland Hsr-
aid, by persons who appear to have re,
liable information. that thers Is no long
-er any doubt as TO the fact of the miss
ing cashier. W. Il. Rose. absconding with
the funds belonging to the railroad COM
psuies by which he was employed. It is
said, that q motive for his departure Is
now known to his relatives, and that
there has been satisfactory settlement
effected with the railroad companies re-
garding the missing man. 81

not 1ilhstauding the symptoms are bEd,

On the principle that the LhaIr Of the
same dog will cure bite. we would like
TO see that traditionary animal, and take
a turn behind him in that new drag
While thus miniSterlng to brain dis
eased. perhaps, friend Rieg, you could
throw some light upon horse trading.
The hope and expectation heresbouts,
that Representative HoWland would be
the successful candidate for Speaker OF
the House, has been disappointed
Though we are not disposed 10 COM
plain, the opinion is not easily avoided,
that Mr.. Rowland would have honored
the place, and deserved well OF the State
and his constituency. It would also have
brought him into greater prominence.
and perhaps have made the way shorter
and easier to other positions with which
some of bis Numerous friends begin al
ready to as sociste his name.
