at Kalamazoo, on the charge Of attempting
to burn the Baumann block. One Sunday

nouncement that the stranger was detect
i've in the employ Of the United States
ut Buffalo, and that he had reason to be-
lieve that the student had been guilty Of
smuggling a suit of clothes from st.
Thomas in December last. The student
acknowledged the offense and said that he
was ready to suffer the penalty. AS the
detective had no jurisdiction in this district
he went no further than to confscate the
goods. but he said that he must hand the

can be quietly settled The student says
the clothing came by express and that he
supposed the shippers had paid the duty.
