It coming to the ears of Marsha] Granger, he took the matter in hand and succeeded in trtclng it to a man who was stopping with Peter Weber, on the Long farm, east of this village. He con Id not spenk\£nglish. but told Mr. Weber, who is a German, that he had found a pocket book, and Mr. Weber mistrusting that all was uot right, got possession of the money and notified parties in this village, which brought out the facts. Granger went over and arrested him on Thursday night nnd delivered him to the au­ thorities at Volo, but on investigation it was shown that he was a half-witted, crank}* sort of a tramp, and lie was set at liberty on condition that lie leave tiie country, which he proceeded to do ,at oncejl It was a lucky circumstance hit the money was recovered. By set­ ting him at liberty ttie County of Lake saved a bill of expense, but the ques- tion naturally arises will his next vic­ tim get of) as fortunate as this one?
