which left the postoffice att o'clock last
evening with the mail for Hoboken, N.

be empty.
Word was at once sent to the post
office and messenger was dispatched
to the Delaware Lackawanna and West
ern railroad depot to see if the missing
pouch had by mistake been placed in
wagon No. SIS, which had mail for the
7:45 p. m. train.
When Driver Walker, of that wagon,
examined the pouches in his wagon he
found six of those he had started with
gone, and did not find the other one,
supposed to have been placed in his
wagon by error. He had started with
ton pouches. Tho missing ones were
for Ruffalo and Emporium, Mount Nor
ris, Elmira, Waverly, Scranton and

The catches on the backs of both
wagons were found open and the locks
gone. They had, it is supposed, been

1t is popular fallacy that when the
house of representatives elects speaker
and other officers that great parliament
airy body is ready to transact the public
business. On the contrary, according
to custom in all legislative bodies, NC
business can be transacted without the
reference of all Legislative matters to
committees and subcommittee desig.
mated TO investigate and report upon
each matter for tho consideration of
the house. Consequently until the
speaker has had time to construct the
committees and announce the appoint
ments the wheels of legislation are per-
pctually blocked. No appropriation of
money for public use can be made until
a specific bill has been introduced
and referred to the committee on ap-
preparations and from that committee
