Putnam, put up atthe Astor House, and being known to some of the clerks, was permitted to remain on promises until his bill amounted to $265, when he was euddenly missed from the house. Nothing more was heard of him until about a week since, when who should walk into the office, and give a fa- miliar shake of the hand tosome of the clerks, but this identical Mr. Putnam,—looking as slick and neat as though he had just passed from the inside of of a lady’s band-box. He inquired for Mr. Coleman, or Stetson, either one. Mr. Coleman wascalledin. After the usual formalities attendant upon a long sepa- ration were over, Mr. Putnam remarked to Mr.C that he went away from him in his debt, and as he had been to California ever sinee, and just returned immensely rich, in fact, w.th more money than he knew what to do with, he would be obliged to him if he would make out his bill and charge him interest at the rate of one percent. per month, for the five years it had been due. Mr. C. replied he did not do business in that way, and was content to get what was his just claims. Mr. Putnam insisted that the interest should be charged, as he had more money than he knew what to do with. Mir. Coleman objected, and told his book-keeper to make out Mr Putnam’s bill for the amount due, and then left the of- fice to attend to some other business. The bill was accordingly made out, and Mr. Put- he had become intensely rich in California, and bad his funds deposited in the Leather Manufacturers’ Bank, whereupon Mr. Jones counted out and handed to Mr. P. the $50. Mr. P. soon after went out, and was not seea again for several days. The same day that the checks were given, Mr. Coleman sent them to the Bank, where, it is useless. to say, they were rejected, no such men as Mr. Putnam keeping any account there. Friday morning, Mr. Putnam again walked into the office of the Astor House, and, in the coolest manner posible, asked Mr Jones to ea drink with him. Mr. Jones gave no- to Mr. Coleman of his return, when Mr. Coleman at once informed him that his checks were worthless. Mr. Putnam asserted that there must be a mistake, and if he (Coleman) would go to the Bank with him, he would find it ail right. They accordingiy jumped into a carriage aud rode to the Bank, but to no pur- pose, Mr. P. could not muster sufficient lan- guage to convince the cashier of the Bank that he was mistaken, and that be really bad a large amount of money on deposit there, al- though he tried hard to do so. Mr. Colewan was oonvinced, and, according- ly, with Mr. Jones, repaired before Justice sborne, at the Mayor's Ofice and made kaown the conduct of Mr. P. whereupon a warrant was issued for bis arrest, and placed in the hands of officer Rose. of the bird Ward, who with the aid of Mr. Jones, suc- ceeded in discovering and arresting Mr Put- nam yesterday afternoon, who etated that he had just returned from Boston yesterday morn- ing, where he had gone on the strength of the 390, and would like to straighten up some business before accompanying the offeer. It was of no avail, however. © was taken be- fore the Justice who committed him to the Tombs, in default of $500 bail, there to ru- minate over his imagined wealth. He begged hard to be let off on his own re- cognizance until morning, when he would fur- nish any amount of bail. Seeing this was no go with the judge, he proposed a scttlement with Mr. Jones, and offered $599 if he would not suffer him to be locked up. It was no > however, and the officer conducted the goutio- man, who said that he was “a lawyer by pro- fession,’’ to the lock-up for the night.—V. F. —+ + + Darina Arrenpt at Ronsery axp Moa- DER.—Oa Wednesday night last. a most daring tempt was made to murder and rob Mr. Wm. Timberlaie, of Henrico, while lying asleep in his bed. Mr T. hai been ona ool- lecting tour the day before, and reaching his grocery on the Darbytown rcai, about nine miles from Richmond, in the afternoon, con- cluded to keep the money collected with him till morning. That night, a fellow called Nat Darby, requested to be allowed to remain all night; and the two retired at the usual hour. Mr. Timberlake was soon sound asleep, but during the night was aroused, and found his feet tied. He attempted to get up, which alarmed Darby, who was then securing the money, and who instantly drew his knife and stabbed Mr. T. severely. Mr. T. then seized him end gaved the alarm, which soon brought Be | servants and other persons in the neighborhood to his assistance, but they did Rot gct there until he had received eight ee- vere stabs. Darby was instantly secured and placed in jail, where he is to undergo an ex- n for felony —Richmond Dispatch. AMERICAN HOTEL,; No. 456 Pa. avenue, between ie ond 6th strects, 3. HEFLEBOWER & L. T.
