Special to the st. Louis Times.

TuscoLA, ILL.,. January 12.-Some
decided rascality appears to be COM
ing to light here between y cattle deal
er, John E. Long, and a broker at
Homer, T. d. Mckee. Long has pur-
chased a great deal of stock through
this country, giving checks on Nc
KEGS bank, Mckee always answering
kilograms that Longs checks were
good. As soon as the stock was ship
ped, Mckee closed the bank, leaving
about $6,0 900 Of these checks out.
Long was jagged here but gave bail.
Yesterday he was bound over again at
Camargo, In this county, for another
case. There he bought hogs, but the
owner refused the check on the bank.
After the owner left home, Long came
hack and took the hogs. leaving the
worthless check. Mckee has also
been proceeded against for issuing a
worthless draft on New York for a
lot of cattle, for $1,000.

A Female Diamond Thief Senten
ecd.

From the New York Times.
In the early part of 1856 a servant
named Mary Cassidy called at the
intelligence Office of Mrs. Eliza Rey-
nolds. on Fourth avenue, and being
physically incapacitated from working,
requested Mrs. Reynolds to keep her
until she could procure a situation.
The latter acceded to the request and
took the woman to her own house,
where she assisted in doing the cham
Der work. On March %, 1876, Mrs.
Reynolds and every inmate of her
dwelling went to the farewell ser.
vice of Moody and Sankey, leaving the
woman Cassidy in charge ofthe house.
On returning they found the doors
locked against them, and it soon be-
came apparent that the servant had
vanished during their absence. On
affecting an entrance Mrs. Reynolds
proceeded to her bedroom, and found
that a diamond set, owned by her
friend Miss Green, which she kept be-
tween the mattresses of her bed for
safety and about $50 worth of cloth
ing were missing. Nothing was ever
heard of the woman or the stolen
property until December last, when
the thief, who had just finished term
on BlackwelIs Islsnd for stealing, was
seen and arrested. On her person was
found a portion of the stolen clothing,
but no tidings of the diamonds were
obtained. The prisoner was placed
on trial by Assistant District Attorney
Bell, in the court of General Sessions,
yesterday. and promptly convicted.
Judge Sutherland sent her to the Pen
itentiary for two years.

y wedding as abrupt, if not as fan
tastic, as Mr.. Wemmick's took place
New Years night at Marlboro on the
Hudson. During the afternoon a
well-knOwn resident of the village
called on the Rev. DIR. OsbOn and in
vited him to dinner at 6 o'clock.
Bring a marriage certificate with
you" said the host; 1--WE NAV have a
wedding there tonight" The doctor
is discreet man, and did as he was
told. At his friends house he met a
large company. and after dinner was
announced, took his seat at the we'll
appointed table. The host undertook
to carve the turkey, but made such
bungling work of his duties that one
of the guests was constrained to re-
mark to him, ''you should get married,
then your wife would teach you the
proper way to do these things" The
host did not deny the soft impeach-
ment, bat told what manner of woman
he should like for wife, ending by
saying; Now, before we proceed
further, 'spose We take q vote as to
who shall marry" The company
entered into the canvass with great
hilairty, and after the vote was taken
it was declared that the host was in
duty bound to marry his housekeeper,
a young and well-educated lady who
had presided over the establishment
for more than a year. the young
lady had stepped into the kitchen to
give some final directions to the cook,
and when she returned she was in
formed of the views Of the company.
She was completely taken aback, but
utter the ladies' had coaxed her to give
her consent, she placed herself in the
hands Of her friends. "Hallo! let's
ret married now!" exclaimed the
host, with the imperturaole Wemm-
ick's selfpossession. The dinner was
suspended-indeed it had scarcely be-
gun; the bride took off her white
apron; the bridegroom dropped his
napkin; the two were made one,
the marriage certificate was signed:
and the company kissed the bride and
then sat down to dinner with q first
rate appetite. The next day spin
ster in the neighborhood, hearing
what had happened. raised up her
hands towards Heaven and exclaimed
in spirit of true devoutness: Lord!
