 During Mail RObbery.-On Tuesday night, between IT and Is o'clock, the Great West ern Mail was cut open, on its passage, and three bags taken out, containing an indefinite number of letters and packages. The vObbe- " took place On the Schenectady road. about three miles from this city. The mail was under the boot, behind the stage. The driv- CT discovered that the outer Or leather cover had been cut, soon afterwards but as one bag remained, supposed that nothing had been taken, and sent word back by the Tele- graph, that an unsuccessful attempt had been made; and it was not until his arrival at Schenectady, that the robbery was known. The bags taken contained the mails for RO- chester, Geneva, and Canandaigna. with the branch mails. including those for the counties of Seneca, Ontario, Wayne, Yates, Stenben. Livingston. Monroe, Orleans, Niagara, Catta- ragus, and parts of TOmpkins. Tioga, and Erie. The Post Master of this city has of fered a reward of $2OO for their detection.

 7Ne Mail Bugs recovered. af- ternOon, party of gentlemen who went out for that purpose. accompanied by the posi- master of this city, discovered the bags cut from the mail on Tuesday night. They were found about half mile from the turn pike, on the north side, between two and three miles from the city. The letters had been all opened, and much mutilated in that operation and having lain out in the rain on Wednesday, were in very wet state. So far as the examination had been made yester- day afternoon, it was ascertained that some of the letters contained money though not any large amount. The newspaper packages were entire, information political or other wise, not being the particular object in hand. There is as yet no trace of the robbers.-ib.

 that wool is in much better demand this season than it was last. Then our farmers were glad of an opportunity to sell at reduction of IS to 25 per cent. below the prices of 182s.- Now, we understand, they readily find pur- chasers at an advance of to cents on the pound from last years prices. We heartily congratulate our farming friends on this im- provement in their prospects-fOr as wool is quite large item in Duchess county farm ing. the advance of price and quick demand will be extensively and benefcially felt in the country.-Powghkeepsi Jour.
