News has iust arrived from Iront.on. Ohio.
that this calluut ofiicer is no more. This i3 an
announcement which will be received with
deep regret by all to whom the gallant Colonel
was known. Many In Pennsylvania ctpecially
will mourn over the event. The officers of the
"Reserve Corps" will not soon toruot Colonel
Kingsbury. The following is a elighc sketch of
his distinguished military career. His first con
nection with the army was as Major in an Ohio
regiment; then he became Assistant Adjutaut-Gi-neral;
served with Kosecruns in West Virgi
nia; eot tin appointment on the staff of General
John K. Kevnuldft. and to hiehlv distincuished
himself in the capacity of Assistant Adjutant
General under that brave commander, that
military honors grew thick upon him.
Nevertheless, all w as not with him a triumphal
career, lor he was made prinoncr at Gaines'
Mill. After gaining his releasa he was ap
pointed to the stall' of General Sheridan, and
shared in all the exploits ot that renowned
otlicer. At tbe termination of the war he, like
many other famous warriors, resigned tho sword
and betook himself to the peucetul pursuits of
business. In his civic avocations he was distin
guished tor his integrity and business capacity,
and hundreds will lament that he was so cut
away, a young man in hi? prime, where there
was every probability in the ordiu'iry course of
thinas of his seeing a venerable old age.

THE HARTFORD BONO MYSTERT.
Special Deposit ot 30,000 tn Govern
ment Securities In the Hartford Na
tional Bank Tha Bonds Not ' to be
Found When Called For Arrest of tha
Teller on Suspicion of Disposing of
Them, Ktc.
Hartford, Conn., October 4. It has been
published in the papers, within a lew days, that
120,000 worth of United States bonds had myste
riously disappeared from the vault ot the Hart
ford National Bank.
Mr. Royall Wilcox, a wealthy citizen of this
city, made a special deposit of that amount, be
claimed, In the bank prior to his going to Europe
a few months ago, and said he gave tbe bonds to
the President ot the bank. The President did
not remember having received them, as they
could not be found when Mr. Wilcox, who re
turned recently, applied for them. This gave to
the whole transaction the mystery alluded to.
The case was given into the hands ot the
police, and thiol W. P. Cuamberlin has been
actively encaged in searching tor some clue to
the missing property. To-day the lollowlng
facts transpired: On the 31st of August Mr.
Charles D. 'fuller, teller of the bank, sold $2000
ot seven-thirty bonds to Alfred S. Robinioii,
gold and stock broker, and the noxt day dis
posed of $3000 to B. F. Abbe, broker, which Mr.
Abbe subsequently sold to Mr. Robiusou, who
forwarded them to New York. Mr. Tuller. also,
on the 31st of Ausrust, scut $5000 of th'se bonds
to tbe Fourth National Bank, New York, as a
transaction lor the bank, and tent aiterwards
$10,000 to New York lor disposal, making $'.'0,0.10
in all. Mr. Wilcox, the loser, advert ted bis
loss, and gave the numbers of tbe bond
Mr. Robinson, throuRh this channel, fo md
that tome of the numbers mentioned cor
responded with those he bought from Mr.
Tuller. This fact was ascertained by Mr. Chaiu
berliu, and trom this start he found that Mr.
Tuller hud disposed ol the $20,000 worth of
bonds which wero mLsing. Tuller was arrested
this morniner, and told an unreasonable story,
to tte effect that a stranger gave biui the bonds
to dispose of, which he did, and as last as be
leolind he paid tbe money over to tue un
known, who disappeared as suddenly as he
made his appearance belore the accommodating
teller.
Tuller had an inteiview with the directors of
the Bunk this afternoon, and it is reported that
tho mutter is to be settled. Tho atiair has
cicaied much surprise here, as Tuller is a young
man who h is borne a high chaiucter. and was
specially admired lor his Christian virtues. He
is superintendent ot a dourishine Sabbath school,
and always appeared very enthusiastic iu his
mrshionary work. It has been noticed that he
lived lather extravagantly, but nothing serious
was thought of it, as his father is a man of con
siderable property. A'. Y. Herald.

edited by Raphael Semmes, praises the energy
ot the Northern people as follows: "We have
been beaten in all our contests with th-j Northern
people by a want of energy. Whilst we are day
dreaming or sleeping they are at work a, work
l'ke fo many beavers, or bee in a hive. If they
hate a railroad to build, they set energy at
w oik and it is built; witness the great Paclllo
Railroad, now stretch inr itself like an immense
serpent ucro-s the Rocky Mountains a work
scarcely retarded by the war. They are as
cuergetlj in politics as in political economy."

In Genoa there are regular marriage
brokers, who have pocket-books filled with tne
names of the marriageable gu)8 ol the different
clasi-es, with notes of their figures, personal
attractions, lortunes, and other circumstances.
Thef e brokers go about endeavoring to arrange
connections in tbe same off-hand, mercantile
manner which they would bring to bear upon a
merchandise transaction; and when they suc
ceed, they get a commission of two or three per
cent, upon the portion, with such extras or
boDiises us may be voluntailly bestowed by the 1
party. Marriage at Genoa is thus oftentimes
simply a matter of business calculation, gene
rally ecttled by tha parents or relations, whe
often draw up the contract before tho parties
have seen one another; and it is only when
everything else is arranged, and a few days pre
vious to the marrlaee ceremony, that the future
husband is introduced to bis intended partner
for life. Should be find fault with her manners
or appearance, he may annul the contract, on
condition of defraying the brokerage and any
other expenses incurred.
