NEW LETTER BOX ES.

The postoilice department has just received
from the factory samples ofthree sizes of the
new letter box which has recently been
adopted to supersede the present style of let
ter box, which are not weather or burglar
proof. The new style has NJ visible open
ing for the reception of letters
but there are two knobs at the
top, by pushing down on either one of which
an opening is exposed by the revolving of a
hinged plate. This plate connects with n
tray, and as soon as the knob is released the
tray falls down and drops the letter below.
There are two compartments to each letter
box, and it is impossible to get at the lower
compartment in which all letters are dump
ed by the tray until the box is opened by the
carrier. The new style will gradually sup
ersede the old style, as the present boxes
wear out.

TWO OF THEM CAUGHT, CONFESS TO NEARLY rs
RoBpERIEs.
For the past fifteen years well organized
gang of robbers has been operating in the
southwestern portion of Greene county,
Pennsylvania, and the eastern portion Of
Marshal and Wctzel counties, West Virginia
and during all that time has detied success
full prosecution. Horses sheep and swine
have been stolen granaries and corn-cribs
robbed, mills broken open and loote !, stores
raided and every species Of farm machin'
cry and other portable property
carried oil. Many localities
were raded again and again, and for the
past five years the annoyance has been nj
most intolerable and the loss great. The
headquarters of the gang was in Pennsylva-
MIA and everything stolen was hurried over
the line, Arrests were often made in Greene
county, but there was always enough of the
rascals to swear suspected comrades out OF
the trouble. Saturday last David Gorby and
ueaekiah Kenible were arrested and taken
10 the I.ittle:own Jail. There Gorby made a
confession extending over period of four
teen years, and including nearly seventy-iiye
robberes. Four other arrests were at once
made and many others will follow, thor
oughly breaking up the gang.

THREE MORMON ELDERS SEVERELY WHIPPED
BY REGULATORS.
Three Mormon elders, named Engel, Tay-
lor and Laird, were severely whipped by
regulators in Marion county, Alabama. The

homes and families to follow the elders
A notice signed Regulators was handed the
the elders. 1t read: If you are in this
county tomorrow night you will be in hell
next day" The elders refused TO leave and
the following night band Of men wear
ing masks took them into the woods, hung
them up to trees by their thumbs and whip
ped them severely with switches. The
women were warned that unless they re-
turned to their families at once they would
be treated tho same way. Tnere is no clue

rHE ArPLE CRoP.-Thc towns on both
sides of the Ohio river from Wheeling 10
Point Pleasant, are beginning to be throng-
cd with apple-buyers from the Eastern and
Northern cities, and before the end of the
first week in September tens of thousands of
barrels will have been contracted for for
future delivery. The river counties in Ohio
and West Virginia constitute one of the
largest ple-growing centers in the coun-
try, and from 10000 to 10000 barrels are
annually shipped to the South and West, or
to the Atlantic seaport for export. This year
the crop in New York State is said to be
very short, and many orders are being so
licited for delivery in Buffalo, Albany and
other New York cities.
