To Correspondents.

As the large assortment OF 'clueS" which
have been discovered from time TO time, ac-
Cording 10 the newspapers, has not yet enabled
the police to- lay hands on the burglars who
robbed the Manhattan Savings Institution, and
as the excitement about the matter seems to be
dying out, the chances are that If the bank is
solvent nothing more will be heard about the
robbery To be sure, some blunder by the bur-
glars in covering their tracks, may enable the
detectives to make lucky hit in the case; but
the usual course is most likely to follow. After
p decent interval. gO-betweens Will negotiate
for the return of the 900 securities, less
percentage 10 themselves and the burglars be
hind them. The feature of the affair which has
most impressed itself upon the public mind is
the exceptional careleSSneSS of the bank manage
ment in its methods of guarding the trusts con-
1ided to its protection. Every inducement was
ffered that a reasonable burglar could desire
or expect 1t would greatly increase the dis
trust in banks if it were generally believed
that all such Institutions are similarly ILL
guarded. But the reckleSsneSS of the Ma1hat-
Ian seems to be the exception rather than the
rule. A large number OF banks have chronome-
ter or time locks for the outer doors when
cannot be opened even by officers of the bank
except during the business hours of each week
day For the safes combination locks are pro-
Sided. which cannot be opened except in the
presence OF a large number of the officials OF the
bank, each OF whom possesses the secret OF a
single combination. Burglar alarms furnish
additional security. Nearly all of the banks
have private watchmen, who in some eases are
locked i'll the building, and in others guard it
from the outside None OF these safeguards
were provided by the plundered bank and of
This fact the burglars were not ignorant

DAVID OAKTREE;
OR,
Hetty'S Christmas Present,
BY W. H. WHITE.

Oaktree farm is situated in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Oldtown, pictur-
esque little port of entry in Ocean coun-
ty. The owner and occupant in 1877
was Elias Oaktree, the son of Enoch.
the son of Abijah, who was the son of
Obed, and so on into the dimness of
the Oaktree past. The Oaktrees, it
will be seen, were deeply rooted in the
soil. The founder of the family, old
Adam Oaktree, left the mother country
IN the evening of his days, to settle
amid the Eden-like pastures of Ocean
county, SO long ago that the record of
she event has been almost efaced by
Sthe dust of centuries.
From that remote period, each sue
~cessor to the estate has been content to
follow IN the beaten tracks of his ances-
tors, mostly cattle-paths, for the Oak
frees Were great graziers, besides being
famous producers of cheese and butter;
while as milk-dealers they have ever
been considered the very cream of their
class.
1t is something singular that but one
~Oaktree had ever been born in a gener-
alton; younger son was unknown to
fine race, while no daughter had ever
made an appearance.
The son of the owner, at the time of
Che opening of our story, was David
Oaktree, who had arrived at the mature
age of Is years. Daniel stood about
five feet nine in his worsted stockings;
he was broad-shouldered, deep-chested,
.compactly built, muscular; very Her
cules in strength. His hair was brown,
his eyes hazel, his features regular, with
a complexion healthfully sun-burned.
Aneighbor of the Oaktrees was Darius
Seaton, who lived in a rambling old
homestead with his wife, Ruth and his
daughter, Mehitable. The latter was
graceful little rustic, of twenty years,
violet-eyed, and with hair of deep au-
burn hue. Without question, Miss Me-
hitable was the prettiest girl in Old
township. She was of happy nature /;
her laugh was melody, her smile ray
of sunshine. It was delightful
pecially to David-to see that smile
beaming upon her red-ripe lips, gleam-
ing in her violet eyes, peeping out
of dimples, to ripple in merry waves
over cheeks and chin.
"Hetty Gas all but the most staid of
her old-time relatives and friends called
her) and David we're lovers, engaged in
due form. They were to be united
matrimonially, on zone of these days."
but which one had not yet been definite
4y settled upon.
There was another ardent admirer of
tpretty Hetty Seaton in the neighbor-
hood, well-to-do member of another
sdeep-rooted family in Ocean county.
Hissname was Beriah Thorn. He was
fully six feet iii height; shapely, and as
strong as young giant. His thick,
coarse hair was of the hue of crows
feathers. His eyes were deeply set and
coal black, and, although his complexion
was as tawny as q half-breed Indians,
yet handsomer face was not borne by
any man in the county.
