Lost Money and a Note.

David F. Leatherman, now living near Remington, visited bis relatives in Rensselaer, Sunday# He reports that last Thursday a pocket-book suddenly vanished from his house. It contained sl2 in money and a note for $163.50 payable to Sarah O. Folks. That game morning a young man named Bunnell, who was stopping at Mr, Leatherman’s very suddenly took his departure, and as the pocketbook had been laying on a table where the young man could see it easily, the suspicion was developed that the pocket-book and the young man had eloped together. The suspicion was heightened by the faot that Bunnel, when he left, said he was going to work at Seafield, but instead took the first train for Woloott. Mr. Leatherman sent a constable after Bunnell, and on Friday he had a hearing before a justice at Remington, but as none of the missing property was found on his person, the justice decided that the evidence was unsnfficient to warrant him in holding Bnnnell.
