MISCELL ANEUOS.

A VALUABLE BUSTLE The Stolen Ten Thousand Dollars Recovered. Nearly 10.000, belonging to Mr. McKie. of Silem. Washington county, New York, which was stolen from him at the City Hotel. Albany; have been recovered by two ex-police officers of New York. It appear that a few dars since another robherv of $600. in fifty dollar notes of the Com-meu-ial Bank of Albany and Castkill. Sill of the Bank of St. Clair. Michigan, ami, $3.) n scrip, took place. One of the bills on the Commercial Bank was changed by a woman who was traced to her residence, She and an elded, man were next day arrested as hey were about t leave in one of the boils. The man and woman were there seaiched, when an immense roll of bank notes was found on her person, nicely enclosed in a ' bustle" that she had used for its adornment. The two were then nfWfi uhere tht nionev was counted and found to be S9.199 in notes of fives and tons of the Farmers' and Mechanics' i and Exchange Bank of Hartford, Connecticut, thus answering to the description of money j lost by Mr. McKie, and within $303 of that a-; mount. The suspected rogue gave the name1 of John Daly, but his real name is said to be Henry Courtney. He is about 50 years of age and appears to be an Englishman by birth. The woman is young and very cood looking, and says her name is Elizabeth Hanson. They are both in custody. Courtney, while in prison, the night after his arrest attempted to commit suicide by bleeding himself to death. He had made several openings in his neck, arms, &c, with a sma'l lancet. On Courtney's lodging room, in New York, being searched, a dark lanter was found, and also some burglar's tools: and on further looking into the baggage of the man the remainder of the money which had not been recovered was found. He says he regrets the act which has placed him in his present situation, and looks forward with horror to that which awaits him as the penalty of his crime. The woman, Hanson, was peifectly calm until she heard that Courtney had attempted suicide, and wished then to see him. This request was denied as a matter of course. Dollar Xewspaper. Elihu Burritt has a better fancy of the steam hoise than we remember to have met elsewhere before. This is his way of describing him: ' I love to see one of those huge creatures, wnh sinews of brass and muscles of iron, strut forth from his smoky stable, and saluting the long train of cars with a dozen sonorous puffs from his iron nostrils, fall gently back into his harness. There he stands, champing and foaming upon the iron track, his great heart a furnace of glowing coals; his lymphatic blood is boiling in his veins; the strength of a thousand horses is nerving his sinews he pants to begone. He would 'snake' St. Teter's across the desert of Sahara, if he could be fairly hitched to it, but there is a little sober eyed man in the saddle, whs holds him with one fingei, and can take away his breath in a moment, should he grow restive and vicious. I am always deeply interested in this man; for, begrimmed as he mty he with coal diluted in oil & steam I regard him as the genius of the whole machinery, as the physical mind of that huge steam horse."' Moilern Appetite. Mrs. Spriggs, will you be helped to a small bit of the turkey?' Yes, my dear Mr. Wilkins. I win.' 'What part would you prefer, my dear Mis. Spriggs?' 'I will have a coiij le of the wings a couple of the legs some of the breast the side bone some filling, and a feir dumplings, as I feel very unwell to-day.' AYilkins fainted. An Oregon Story. Folks are pushing for Oregon in multitudes. It is said to be a healthy place folks live there till they die, and some time longer. One man was put in his coffin for dead, in earnest; but he soon kicked the top off. came out, and went about his bus iness, as a live man should! Well come, now, that is good it is too good to be true! It puts us in mind of the old miser 'wav down east," who was so stingy that he walked about three month, after he was dead, to save funeral expenses! Sucre in Summer. New York paper of the 19ih. savs: A visiter to the 'White Moun tains, sajs the Portsmouth Journal, states that it snowed on Mount W ashtnglon all last Mon dav night and till 8 o'clock on Tuesday mornincr. when it w as covered like mid winter for some four miles down the summit.
