 EGdie Simmons, Martin Knapp, JUhn Bazce
 md Joseph Mitchell. alI oi whom are ranch
 in- in :hnt vicinity. and who have hitherto
 borne cxcelert reputation in this county, came to the conclusion that Uncle Sam waS rich while they were poor, and that he did moi need the supplies as bad as they did; so they plsnnrd anopE themselves Ia rob the cars of theIr contents, and last night after everybody had gone to bed aud every thing was quiet, they repaired to the car. snd broke them open and conveyed their contents down into a creek. near by, where they were load- ing them on a team belonging to Martin Knapp, preparatory to hauling ;tem off. While they were unloading the cars. they. m2ut some nOisc that aN1AcneU the aScnS. who Eut knUwic" what it was 20: up and called another employe who got up, wh.n tEey discovered the ears broken open, and the contents gone.

Tney com. :landed theIn 10 surrender, which they did, The prisoners were Ilcn marched oyer to tue station aud locked up is.a box car, and the commander at Fort Husehuca tele phoned 10 and notified of the robbery. This morn ing a detachment of thirteen men arrived at the Siding. and took charge of the prisoners whom them conveyed to Huacauca, where they are now confined in tue guard house, with time to reflect on the wages Of dis honesty and with the prospects of long term of imprisonment at Detroit.

ported on the 21st in the Hotel Dieu at
Montreal.
CouRIEHs from Fort Pitt reported on the
21st that Riel's forces captured the place
and burned the houses, killing two police
men. The troopers and settlers, number
ing nearly one hundred, left five days ago
for Battleford, but no trace of them had
been found, and it was feared that they
had been massacred. Middleton's men
were suffering for want of provisions and
forage, and the bad condition of the roads
impeded their progress.
NEARLY ten thousand Sunday school
children of Dublin marched in procession
to Phoenix Park on the 21st,; with banners
and music, to present an address to the
Prince and Princess of Wales.
THERE was on the 21st a very strong

THE position of General Middleton in the
Northwest Territory was on the 25th re-
garded as most critical. He was afraid to
proceed without reinforcements, and the
only available forces could not reach him
before ten days. The river was said to be
so low that neither supplies nor troops
could be furnished by water. His loss in
the recent battle was seven killed and
thirty three wounded.
!: UP to the evening of the 25th thirty-yev-
en- bodies had been taken from the ruins of
one building in the burnt district at Vicks-
burg, Miss, and other buildings were
known to AVE bodies buried in them.
