EXTENSIVE POST OFFICE ROBBERY. $36, im Bonds Stolen—The T! und Out and Money Re In the latter part of November last, the Aquidneck National Bank, of Newport, K 1., mailed in a registered letter, directed to the Assistant Treasurer, United States, at New York, the sum of $36,150 in 7-30 notes, with coupons to the value of about $1,300 attached, The letter failed to reach tts destination, and the facts being reported to the Post Office De. partment, the matter was referred for investi- gation to Messrs. F. Depro, of this city, and J. special agents of the Post Office Department; but the mest thorough search made by these gentlemen failed todevel- op any clue to the perpetrator of the robbery until afew days since, when Mr. Depro ob- tained information thatene of the missing notes had reached the Treasury Department for con- version, through an eminent banking house of New York. r. Depro visited New York at once, and notifying Mr. Gayler of his discovery the two agents set abont finding the thet, In this they were so successful that by the same evening they had obtained the whole of the Missing notes, with the exception of about 22,50, which they also recovered with- m the next two days. The notes had been taken by a young man who at the tume of th loss was « clerk in the post office at New York. The case was con- siderably complicated by the tact #hat the of- fender had some months since entrusted the notes toa brother tor safe-keeping for a few days, (informing him that be had «teund” them.) The brother returned the package ap- parently intact, but when obt by Messrs. Gayler and Depro it was found that about half the amount bad been abstracted. The brother being at once suspected of this second theft, mrasures were taken which resulted in his sur- render of the missing notes, with the exception of the $2,500 mentioned above, and which was atterwards obtained from him. ‘On the recovery of the money, Messrs. Depro and Gayler visited Newport, and banded it over to the officers of the bank, to whom its Teceipt was & most agreeable surprise, as they had almost abandoned the hope of recover~ ing it. Much credit is due to Messrs. Depro and Gayler for the energy, ability and perseverance displayed in this case, which was one of the Most Successfully worked ou record. These officers. on returning the mon-y to Newport on Wednesday, received quitean ovation from the citizens, the bonds being the property of wid- ows in that section, aud its recovery was a great relief to the entire community. — ee WORKINGMEN’S Co-V ERATIVE MoVEMENTS Recently a number of the workipgmen of tis city, having im view the general advancsraeut of the interests of the mecaamical classes have initiated movements productive of prescut as Well as future benefit to all those who may connect themselves with these movements. Among these enterprises are building assoc tions, conducted on the co-operative plan, uy which the member may select a dwelling to be PRrchased by the association, aud tor which he pays a certam rental in the suape of dies on his stock, Which with the mterest accruis 2 is sufficient in the course of seven and aba yours togivehim the ownership of the proper- ty. Another movement is that of the Sewing Machine Society, by which eich member se- cure: chine by the weekly payment of small amount. This society commenced on the 2ist of November last, and already fifteen ma- chines. costing fom $55 to $85 each, ave been received by as many members, who in the or- dinary course of events would never have he- come the owner of so valuable a domestic ad- junct. The latest movement, and which in its results promises to be productive of greater antages, is in the formation of a Working- man’s Equitable Co-operative Association, having for its object the establishment in all parts of the city of various kinds of stores, such as grocery, provision.

The exception is in truit, which seems to have experienced the bud effects of the prolonged cool weather of May and Jane. But the cereals have been “brought forth by handfuls,” as daring the seven years of plenty in Egypt. ‘he crop of whestis larger than ever before known. In the States lying ig the valley ot the Mississippt a greater area Bs heen planted and sown than in uny previous year. In Indiana and Western Ohio the yield ts said to be from one-fourth to ene-third better than last ear'e, And the quality superior tothat. In Li- inois it is about the same as last year. In Missouri and Kansas it is three-eighths better. In West Virginian it is reported us one-half better; in Wisconsin, Iowa aud Miunesot, @bout one-quarter better. In the southern States there seems to have been littie improve- ment, except in Tcnnessee;and m Louisiana wheat is almost a failure. ‘In the middie and eastern States there is an increase beyond former years, but as wheat is not a staple there this 1s of less moment, 1n the new States and Territories towards the setting sun the testimony uniformly is that thrs is a better year than ever before, Ne~ braska reports an increase of one-half, Colo- raco has one hundred and e:zhty thousand acres in wheat. with excellent prospects; Mon- tana reports thirty-three thousand bush.; Urgh eight hundred aud thirty thousand bushels. ‘As a whole, the quantity harvested promises tobe seventy-five per cent. greater than the crop of 1-67. This will bean effectual stimn- lant to commercial operations, cheapenia, bread m the Atlantic States, while the short crops reported in Europe will leave an opep- ing tor a good foreign demand for our surpins in, Old tarmers used to say tbat a good wheat year was generally a poor one for Ipdian corn. This crop requires hot weather during the pe- Tiod of earlier growth and “tasseling,” And it suffers badly from cool weather. The weather in May was so cold, and the season so bagk- ‘ward, that corn was planted Inter than usual.” This prevented the injury so common to corn in such sensons, though alae autumn will be required to mature the grain. ut so far the prospect is excellent. A large amount has been planted; the crowth is rank, and it the early frosts are escaped the yield ‘will be enormous. It is estimated that the crop will be fully one-third greater than last year, In the Pec thoes States the increase is most apparent, but the Western States are nowhere tebind band. 1n the Northern and Eastern States whe growtn of stalk is small, and it is not easy to estimate the product. Osts in New ‘York and the western States are extraordinarily heavy, but in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and other Atlantic States th yield is not Targe Snocxrne MURDER IN New Jeesry.—On Monesy a murder oceuted ata place known es Sbark river, in Ocean county, NJ.. distant about six miles trom Long Branch.
