Recovery of Stolen Property.

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-A daring burglary | took place at the loan office of Muned Myer on Second avenue on the 3Oth of April last. l The robbers, who were provided with tools | of the finest temper, sawed thoir way | through rear window of the establishment. By the aid of gunpowder and sectional jimmy large safe in which valuables were kept was forceduppen, and diamonds, watch l es and jewelry to the amount of $4, 7O9 were stolen and carried of. There was no track | by which the perpetrators of the robbery could be discovered, and for time the police l were bafied After a while the detectives | arrested Andrew Jackson. alias Little Andy" l and Augustus Palmer while trying to dispose | of some of the property and they were sen fenced to States prison five years each. All 1 the property with the exception of a small portion recovered was still missing, and l though inquiries were made in all the pawn shops in this city it still could not be &C., counted for. Several weeks ago the detec- l tives got on the track of some of the stolen property, and knowing that three of the bur glars were still at large they made search for l them and have succeeded in arresting Peter Wilson, Peter Mullen, Robert Clifford and ] Chamois, Simon Rubenstein and Haron Black, pawnbrokers, as receivers of stolen goods, who were held in bail of g., 2,OO0 All | the property has been recovered.
 The Hudson River Tunnel-No Bodies Recovered Yet.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-The announcement l in the morning papers of the uncovering of | one of the twenty bodies entombed in the broken Hudson tunnel was premature. No l body has yet been seen, nor has Superintend- 1 ing Engineer Lovejoy, whose sensations in l making the ghastly discovery are so graphic ally described, been inside the caisson for l week. He has been suffering with malarial | troubles, and although he has been at work on the tunnel, his employers and fellow
 laborers have not thought it prudent or safe 1 for him to go into the compressed air-cham Der.
 "We were digging in the caisson last night" Superintendent Anderson said to reporter to-day, ''when one of the men found an opening between the broken plates of the temporary entrance. put my hand in and it came in contact with hard l substance It was hard when we struck 1t, and at first thought it was block of wood. But do not see how block of wood could have got there. As I felt more carefully l came to the conclusion that 1t was the skull of one of the entombed miners. If it was skull, it was perfectly denuded of flesh. I I could only feel the top of it. The rest of the ! body, if this was the top of body, was bur | jed in mud and beneath the fallen timbers. I
 think you can safely say that it will be at least four days before VIC reach the bodies." The laborers are still engaged in the labor of ! lowering the caisson. This morning it had l been lowered four inches in an hour. The
 men inside the unwieldy shelter are it is I thought, within a few feet of the bodies. | They may reach them by Thursday, but this l is doubtful.

COLONIAL NEWS.
JAMAICA.

In our last notice from the colony
We Reproduced part of a correspOn-
denc4 between a resident gentleman
and the Governor in which the latter
announced his belief that aid from
outside on behalf of sufferers by the
hurricane was not required. We
0 find that, acting ON his convic-
v%lctions, fine Governor has declined to
receive $500 voted by the Barbados
Legislature, as wellas another $500
oferedbythe Atlas Steamship Com
pany. He has also forwarded a tele-
gram to England which hashad theef-
iect of stopping subscriptions there.

which now degrade them, up to positions which
the development of q trusr domestic or home
influence would necessarily call them to Gil.
This view is justified by the fact that the two
parishesMa Manchester and st. Thomas, which re-
present the extremes of the LEGITIMACY and In.
FAINT Mortality scales also form the same relative
extremes as regards Educational grants earned
and the ability shown by informants Of births
and deaths to sign the registers By writing

In reporting the deaths the Registrar notes
that of every 100 children born 16 failed TO
reach the age of one year aud &c to reach the
age of FIVE years
He also remarks that the death rate among
i~llegitimate infants Is about double, 10 some
cases two::thirds that of Legitimate infants.

when the information was pub lished,
and considerable disapproval was ex-
pressed in various quarters at the readi-
ness with which the governor, relying
on "the self respect of the commnni-
ty," yentured to reply to the Governor
Of Barbados and the Atlas Company,
that the Cyclone had occasioned no
want that we could not meet from 10
cal sources of relief. We think, how
ever, that the Governor has acted
wisely. 1t might have been better had
he taken counsel outside official cir
cles and shaped his course according
ly but in face of his statement that
he is in possession Of cheering infor-
nation, and in the face of the fact that
no relief funds are yet in existence to
meet local distress, we cannot say
that the cautious kilograms sent by
him to Barbados and England are pre-
mature.
PROFESSIONALLY, sore distress has
been caused in many parts of the
Island by the Cyclone, a distress that
must be met by charity. Hundreds
ofpeople have lost their little all and
need assistance. But the resources of
local bcnevolence and of the central
government have yet 60 show their in
adequacy in dealing with the distress.
Heavy as the loss was, it fell in most
cases on those who we're able to bear
it, and whose "self respect" would, at
all events, keep them from handling a
charitable dole. Public works afford
plentiful means of employment to the
suffering %peasantry, and will enable
them by we'll earned wages to tide
over hard times. We have learned
many instances in which members of
the country working classes have set
about the repair Of homes and the re-
planting of grounds right earnestly,
and it would obviously be q pity to
discourage the exercise of selfhelp.
Some things the impoverished peasan-
try cannot do. They cannot rebuild
the ruined churches, parsonages, and
school-houses, and we see no reason
why the principle of moblesse Oblige,
which the governor is wishful to see
maintained in the Island, should deter
the religious bodies in receiving money
from abroad, for the reconstruction
and repair of their ruined buildings.
All the denominations have to deplore
the ruin of valuable church property.
and their pressing necessities are legi-
innate objects of foreign solicitude and
generosity"
From Calls News Letter we find
that the Registrar General has issued
his report for the year ending 30th
September. 1879. He estimates the
local population ofJamaica at $40, %
The excess of births over deaths was
5,746. "The population of the island"
"says the Registrar "is therefore stea-
Oily increasing, the annual natural ad-
dition after allowing for such births as
escape registration, being at the rate
of 5000 a year." The remarks which
follow are so suggestive that we re-
print them as given in the. Meas Let

One hears the migratory thrush (robin)
everywhere, in the midst Of the gardens
and villas Of towns and cities, and in
every little clearing of forest on the out
skirts of human habitation. 1t is a
pleasant song, but decidedly inferior to
any one of its cousins in Britain. 1t is
inferior in power to the missal thrush,
in variety to our common "mavis," in
melody to the plackbird. Near Niagara
I heard one very broken and interrupted
soug and of fine tone, and Of considerable
power. But although / was in the woods
and fields of Canada and Of the States
in the richest moment of the spring, |
heard little of that burst of s. lg which
in England comes from the blackcap
and the garden warbler, and the white
throat, and the reed warbler, and the
common wren, ard (locally) from the
nightingale.
Above all, there is one great want
which nothing can replace. The mead
ows Of North America were to my eye
thoroughly English in appearance, the
same rich and luxurisnt grass, the same
character of wild flowers, and even the
same weeds. The skies of America are

Nothing could have been kinder, for
example, than the act of Sir Walter
Scott, writing out sermons FOR young
aspirant to the Scottish ministry, whose
state of nerves made him unable to Crap
pie with the task and satisfy his Presby-
terry. Similar, though in quite differ
ent sphere, was the kindness shown by
Vinet, at Lausanne, to peasant woman
who invaded his solitude one Sunday
morning. Overcome by toll and illness,
Vinet had been obliged to forbid the Wis
its of strangers, and his family were
guarding him with all possible care.
The woman was an intelligent, God.
fearing peasant, who had never succeeded
in getting rest for her spirit; but, having
fallen in with one Of VineTs books, she
was persuaded that if she could only see
him he would be able to give her the
needed guidance. With much difficulty,
she got admission to his room. We can
fancy the anxious relatives enjoining hei
to detain him as short a time as possible.
But Vinet, when he heard her story, was
profoundly interested, and spent th,
whole day with her, up to the hour Of
the last stage coach. The account which
the woman gave to her own pastor, on re
turning home, was interesting.
"Well," said the pastor, 'have yot
