in Locust iiiti, Va, but soon after
its arrival mysteriousiy disappeared
from that office, without reaching the
party to whom 1t was addressed. The
matter was reported and the postal
authorities instituted an investigation
resulting in the arrest OF Schuyler

deputy in the Office but at the time
of his arrest was cferking in the gen.
eral store of his uncle. Joseph Bris-
tow, in Urbanna, Va. He was placed
in jail at this place yesterday and
hands of the United States marshal

of eighteen years and of very re-
spectacle family. He has made a
full confession OF having opened and
destroyed the letter, but retained the
check for a while and then prevailed

sorrow for him in his downfall, as
he was respected by all who knew
him. An effort will be made to OBJ
