1t was just prior to this that General
Dennis had maze a discovery on his own
account that convinced him that Engley
was rascal The latter left his pocket
book on his desk one day. General
Dennis picked il up for the purpose OF
putting IL in the ma jor's drawer when two
keys fell out of it, The General was sur
prised at the resemblance to the KEYS
OF the safe, aud still more surprised when
he found they fitted the lock TO a nicely
and worked smoothly. Ii didn't take
him long TO decide what 10 do. He went
across the street TO cutters shop, put
the keys in a vice and filed them in such
way that by no possibility could they
be used 10 open the safe again. Then
they were returned to the rocketbook
and this in turn placed in the major 'sdesk.
General Dennis sent the story OF the keys
10 the company's Office in New York and
learned that the very day his in formation
was received Mr.. Fitch had disclosed the
plot TO rob the safe.

A strict watch was kept on the Office on
the night the money was expected TO ar

the package was in the safe officer Hunt

in the express office that they could not

IL was about midnight that Major
Engley put in an appearance. He was
wary and didn't go into the Office at once.
He looked searchingly about him, then
crossed TO the opposite side of the street
and disappeared in an alleyway. A few
minutes later he returned, recrossed the
street rapidly, hastily opened the Office
door and proceeded at once to the safe.
lie tried the key. Ii wouldn't turn the
lock. He tried again with no better
success. Fifteen minutes he remained
there trying to open the safe, but failed.
Then General Dennis, from his post of
observation, saw the major turn from
the safe with an expression OF the dircst
disappointment written on his counte-
nance. He left the Office and passed up
Broad street, where he was overtaken by
the detective and arrested. lie subse-
quently pleaded guilty.to conspiracy and
was given what was then thought to be
surprisingly light sentence-eight months
Imprisonment.

A package containing $4,000 in bills was
made up in manner to deceive Engley
and 1t was shipped by the Merchants

evening of Dee. 10, 1867. Engley, of
course, vas Informed that tho $500, 900
had been shipped and was on the watch
for it. The train was delayed, however,
by an unusually heavy snow storm so
the package did not reach tho express

According TO the opinion OF the at

in each school district can, by objecting

Prayer in the schools of each district.
Recently the superintendent ofspublic in

law prohibited the opening of public
schools with n recital Of the prayer. The
matter was laid before the attorney gen

is in violation TO that section of the Con-

shall be compelled TO attend, erect or sup

the agricultural college has formulated
the following rules on flax growing:
l. The yield will average from II to
10 bushels per acre. 1t runs occasionally
as high as 20 and even % bushels, but
II to15 bushels would correspond to 30
or 80 bushels of wheat.
,. The soil should be clean. ANY
good, .black, wheat soil would do, If
cl, an, but it is better that it should be
new soil.
3. Sow as early in the spring as the
soil is warm aud mellow, with broad
cast seeder. Harrow and after it comes
up roll. Sow about one-half busbel Of
seed to the acre.
t. The blowing should be about the
same depth as for whest-say six to
eight inches. Summer fallow or fall
plowed land is best If free from weeds
aud wild oats,
). Flax exhausts the land more rap
idly than some other crops ana it is not
worth while to SOW on poor land.
6. Harvest with binder, taking off
tie binder attachment and rigging a
dropping attachment that will let il fall
IN bundles When dry haul 10 the
