Young Reuteh Again.

A very general impression prevslls
in this city, that young Rentch, who kss
occupied so much of the public attention
for several days past on account OF his
mysterious disappearance, is not deSd,
but for reasons best known TO himself,
left town in the manner he did, and Is
alive and well in one OF the neig hborirg
cities or towns. Taking common sci e
view of the subject, it is impossible to see
how he could have fallen oy9r
the Market street bridge, AID
as he was quite strong, it lis
unreasonable to believe that he would
have permitted any one to pick him up
and throw him into the creek without
making soue resistance or cutlery. Then,
too. if he had been struck by one intend-
ing 10 commit murder, 1t is likely some
blood would have been shed aud the
bridge would have torn evidence of
It, But be that MS i. may, his parents
continue IN the deepest distress, and his
father daily wsnders up and down the
river bank looking for the body Of his
son to be washed ashore. Yesterday the
sewers from Twenty secOnd TO Twenty
fourth street were thoroughly examined,
but without finding the slightest trace OF
the missing youth.

mail contractor on several mail routes
leading from Bolton, at which point Mr..
White is postmaster. The charges, a.
though sufficiently defined to require at
tention, were vague and indefinite in the
main, and when We sscertslned
that Mr.. White, in the discharge of his
duty, had refused 10 allow the mails TO
be taken from the postoffice to the resi-
dence of the contractor the night pre-
vious to the day advertised for its de-
parture. We think we can discern sutti-
Gent motive TO prompt al that has been
charged.
Reporter response did Mr..
White and the other gentleman make to
the charge?
Officers--Ol course charges brought IN
this manner put the accused wholly at
the mercy of the accusor. Mr.. White
said that while it was possible IN the great
haste in which he frequently mailed his
letters, he had inadvertently placed
letter in the mails without
the required postage stamp, be
hardly believed that any disinterest-
ed person could for moment believe
that he would commit such 81 act delib-
erately, and with purpose of de:raudlng
the postal revenues.
Reporter-It seems that the Comms-
siors entertained 3 similar view OF the
matter2
Oficers-He did, and in that view we
fully concurred, and as officers Of the
Postoftice Department. were graft
fed at the Commissioners action IN dis
cussing the charges.
After few moments pleasant CONVEX
sation with the officers OF various topics,
and being assured that we should be post
ed in regard to other irregularities st the
proper time, we left the gentlemen for
other scenes.

days since offer to perform the work here
totore done under Mr.. Hesly's contract
for the same money, nor did he put in

mark was that if the City Council would
appropriate an amount equal to that paid
to q contractor for cleaning the streets TO
his department in addition 10 the sum
now allowed to be expended by him, he
would do the work in manner which will
meet with approval by large msjorlty
of citizens. Heis informed, be says, that
there are large number OF poor men in
arrears for taxes, unable at present to pay
them, to whom he would give employ

every week would not only benefit the
