AN ALLEGED BUROLER ARRESTED.— J On the night of the Union Convention | at Bakertown, a store at Glade Mills But ler county, was entered and robbed of a large amount of goods. Suspicion fell upon a man named John Kearston, a resi dent of Butler county, and a Warrant was issued for his arrest. He eluded the vigi-< lance of the officers, and succeeded in making his escape. A few days ago, in formation was received in Butler, that Kearston was at Wheeling, when Arm strong Bennison, was detailed togo to that city ami endeavor to effect his arrest. The officer, upon his arrival at Wheel ing, secured the services of the city polise, j and after considerable seal eh the fugitive was discovered and taken into custody. Officer Bennison arrived in Allegheny last evening, with his prisoner, and placed him in the Allegheny watch-house for .safe keeping; lie will be taken to Buter to-day. Kearston has been suspected for some months for being concerned in various robberies in Butler county, but he has heretofore avoided detection. There are a number of charges against him, and it is probable he will now receive his de serts. lie denies, in the most positive terms, any connection wi'h tlie robbery of which he is accused, but we understand that there will be no difficulty in proving the charge— Pittsbuiyh Gazette.
