EXTENSIVE MAIL RoBBERy."..The 81.
Losis Republican, ol Thursday, says;


II has been known in This city for some
days that an extensive robbery had been
committed, but it was deemed ckpedcnt to
keep the matter quiet for time. Such
necessity co longer exists, and we may,
therefore. state that the mail robbed was
made up here on the first OF this month Cor
oil the Eastern cities. Il has been aseer.
Iained that the mail for New York never
reached lis destination and il Is supposed
that this was the fate of the others, Tho
extent OF the robbery Is not known, bu, we
understand that H. 4. Bcnois, g. CO. mailed
on that day, TO New York, IRON 1900 to
sl,i0D in bank notes, and $4,000 in drafts;
]. J. Anirrson Il Co. $500 to Pittsburgh,
and $500 to New York, all in bank notss;
Presbury O. Co. $500, in bank noles,
New York; and other brokers, il belie
ed, also made remuances. The presumpi
tion Is that the robbery was committed this
side Of Wheeling, for, bad the mail reached
here, toe Pittsburgh letters woald then
have gone safe 10 their destination. Noin.
iormdion has yet, so far as we can learn,
been obtained by which to trace the robbery
to any particular point or individual.
