As to their resisting the troops, no such thing was thought of; and as to scattering in the hills, noth- ing would have pleased the indians more, as hair taken would have furnished OCOASION FOR SCALP DANCES allsummer. Captain Mix isa resolute man, and it would not have done for the miners to trifle with him. His character may be understood by the following incident in his liie:—Watle serving as Provost Marshal on the staff of General Buford, in the army of the Potomac, & spy was one day captured withif the lines. A searcn revealed no | py, and he was about | evidence that the man w: to be reveased, but Mix insisted he should ve kept. “Very well, Captain,” said Buford, “take him away, and if you can prove helsaspy you may nang him.” Mix took the spy to the rear and be- gan & more careful search of his person, and in the man’s boots found maps of the Union camps, the number of troops in them, and other papers, showing, beyond all aoubt, the man was a spy. | Giving him time to pray, Mix bung him. Soon alterward, meeting Buford, the General, in a Jocular way, asked :— “Well, Mix, What did you do with that fellow?’ “Hung nim, sir.” “What!” ered Baford. “Did you not tell mo if I found be wass spy to hang him.

STRANGE STORY OF A POOR MISSIONARY AMONG THE MOUNTAINS—THE POSSESSOR OF GREAT WEALTH LIVING IN ABJECT POVERTY—HIS MANNER OF LIFE AND BIS DEATH. CATSKILL, N. Y., April 24, 187 People in this section of the State are awaiting with great anxicty tne solution of a mystery which s been for several days the engrossing topic throughout Greene county, and which at present has no immediate prospect of being unrayvelled, ‘Yo obtain the clew to ita search is being made in Nova Scotia for people who, if living, may not only clear up the matter, but, if they prove their iden- tity, may come in for the lion’s snare of an inher- itance of over $100,000, Which has-been found, with 8 will directing its disposal, in the effects of aman who has for years been an object of charity in the Catskill Mountains, So far as known the follow- ing are THE DETAILS OF THE CASE. Six or seven years since, to supply a want long felt in @ thinly populated part of the mountains, of which the village of Ashland js the centre, the Episcopal Board of Home Missions detailed as a missionary to the section a minister named Clark, He was @ man of about middle age, evidently a feptieman and a scholar of the old school, but earing outward evidence of extreme poverty. While not strictly misanthropic in his nature, there was about nim sometniog that seemed to in- dicate & disgust or aisliking for the outward world, and he carried himself, when not engaged in the duties of bis cilling, aloof from society. It was his duty to preaca whenever and wherever his services were needed, and for these services he received from the Missionary Society a salary of $250 a year, This sum Was somewhat in- creased by donations from his parishioners, Who despite of his manner were not @ litte attached to him, He wasa man of no tamily, and he was never known to reler to his past life or to any triead or relative. It was known that he came Irom Haluax, and that was all aay one ever knew of the misstonary’s personal history, When Re came to his fleld of lavor he hired @ room in the house of a poor, besotted shoemaker in Ashiand, and there he lived, occasionatly acceding to the request Of & parisoioner to share bis hospitality for a day or so, alone with bis books, He received no visitors, but enough was kuown that he lived ina pinched and wretched manner, ‘two weess ago he was taken sick with fever. ‘The shoemaker notified some of the mussiovary’s parishioners, and he Was given the best of care and medical aid, Rey. Mr, Weeks, of Catskill, visited aim frequently, and the lone preacher lacked lor nothing. Desptic all this care, the latter part of Just week he died. He died as he had lived, without throwing ANY LIGHT UPON HIS LIPE, or requesting any friend from home to be sum- His remains were interred tn @ beauli- ful spot in the mountains, the expenses being de- Irayed by the villagers, Before Mr. Weeks, who conducted the funeral services, hed leit for Catskill, it was suggested that it would be well to gather up What elfects the misstonary bad and have them laid away and given to any friend who might apply for them. A number of persons wen! with r. Weeks to the room that bad been occupied by Clark, anu collected togetber bis books and the little else he had. in oue corner ol the rcom was @ wooden chest, It was at first conciuded not to open this, but thinking that it mignt contain some instruction or direction that woula Jead to the fnuing of the friends of the deceased, it was finally thougut best toopenit. ‘This was accordingly done. The chest contained a paper parcel, a small passbook anda large enveiope. The packaze was opened, and to the indescribable amazement of the party was Joond to coutain a large number of UNITED STATES BONDS, &® glance showing that seme of them, at least, were of $1,000 denomination, ‘The pass book was a bank book, and tne envelope enclosed tne last will and testament of the missionary. When the discoverers of this wealth could recover sufl- ciently from their astonishment to discuss tae subject, they decided not to make @ full examina- tion of it then. ‘The effects were placed in charge of Rev, Mr. Weeks, and he brought the bonds, bunk book and will to this city and deposited them in the Tanners’ National Bank, ‘There they remutued ednesday, when ay examination of them ence Of the officers of the bank, The package contained $94,000 in United States bonds and securities, and the bank book showed @ Geposit of $10,000 in a New York city bank, the Dame of which has pot been disclosed. The will rected that, St. Luke's Hospital aud some small bequests to the churches in whicn the missionary had Preactied and to diferent individuals who nad shown him kindnesses, his brother should inherit the rest. Ii the brother, Whose name is William Clark, should be dead, then the brother’s so should be the heir, The brother, or, {i aead, th nephew, was also appointed exccutor of tne will. When the particulars of this singular afair were made known to the community, a great sensation Was created. Nothing Was found among the dead man’s effects giving any information as to his family or his life, nor throwing any light upon the manner in which he has accumulated his wealth and the reason for his living in the most abject poverty with a jorrune in his wretched room. Every effort is being mace to tind the dead man’s | relatives, who, iffound, will no doubt be abie to clear up the mystery ol the missionary’s Ife.

I questioned tis gentieman cio: the iter, und he spoke substarttially lows:— GREEN'S STANDPOINT. “I am not aware tuat toere has been any per- rak between them. On the coatrary, I * heard the Comptroller speak in the greatest kindness of Mr. Keily. Hue since the de- | yeat Of IMX and tue gatu of Tammany in depar ental power ia the city Keily Das shuwn & aisy n to oblain exclusive control im ail the de~ power aud patronage tn is mauds is giving g eral offence to bis party. Thew have bis per sonal respoosibiiity tor briogin, eneral Fitz Jono | Porter irom New Jersey aua pl him at the head of the Department of Public Works when there is a0 abundance of vetter men iu New York city, His plan of disiriouting the patronage oi that department to laborers upon toe basis of $150 for each vote is also matter o1 | complaint. Tuose movements are fast creating a | pubue sentiment against bim, not only to t but throughout the State. Mr. Kelly caies the jature. This Measure tases trom the people in the various districts o: the cry tue power of selecting their own justices and elects them on a general ticket, Toe effect of the passage of the bili woud give to the Tamnmany Comnutiee on O gaaization the power of nominating civil justices tor the whole city, called im the conutry 4justices of the peace.’ Ido nov delieve the people of New York gre willing to be tous rovbed of their rights. Why, you Know in ali parts of the State the people ciect their justices of the peace by districts. There is no reason for breaking down that system in the city of New York, except to secure the choice of men who could not be elected’ in the district, and thas bring the ju- diciary under the control of a political organization, You will remember that in the Democratic Conven- tion_at Rochester, in 1871, a resolution, drafted by that the democratic electors of the various Assembly dis- tricts in New York city should nominate and elect delegates to the State Convention without direc- tion from Tammany Hail or any central organi: tion. Mr. Kelly violated t pirit and principle of py enfeavor- ing to concentrate the power to name these civil justices.” THE DEDUCTIONS DRAWN. From this conversation with Cyinptrolier Green's muuthptece, only ove conclusion can be reached at the present writing—the quarrel between the leader of Tammany Hall ana the Mepnistopncies of the Finance Department is reat and unae ated. The policy of introduction of the Charter,” so far, has been to scare aud disorgau- ize with ny determination to push it tarough the Legisiature. Green's wily agents have done their Work Weil. They reqiire Most careful watca- ing. When the leader of Tammany himself has to tak? the fleld im person, tue danger must c+ tainly oe imminent. If the Legisiatire sont journ on tae Sth of M pposed in the ution offered by Senator Gross, very little time re- j mains for action on New York cuarter matters. The } | } Miller Dili cam be resurrected by & majority vote Jommitiee on Cities, out y such movement. Tne Ke- moval ana lic inspection bilis will no doubt become law in some snape or other during the coming week. Considerable vaiuaole time nas | been spent in discussing these measures. Tues day nexe th been designated aus tne date ior | debating tue 1 do not bear of RAPID TRANSIT BILT in the Assembly. Let tne discussion be short, sharp and decisive. No unnecessury delay. The bul advocated by Mayor Wickham and the Com- mon Coancl seems to possess all aesiravle fea- tures for carrying ont this great project so much needed by the people of New Yoru city. Why not take it Up and pass itatonce? The movements o New York legisiators on this matter will ve scanued carefully by their constituents — Not vie of them can afora to de the issu Push the good work, geutieme brought severely to tusk by your comstitaents at the next fall election.
