He gave the bond and was discharged from custody. Some two months ago a check for $25 Was sent by a gentleman in this city to B Altman & Co., in New York. It failed to reach its destination but a few days ago the draft was pre" sented to Altman & Co , by another house in New York, who had just re ceiyed it froni "John Spindell," of Wilmington. Altman & Co. refused to endorse the draft and the matter was at once placed in the hands of the Postk office authorities. The letter which ac companied the check was returned to Wilmington and the case was worked up by Special Agent W. F. Crawford. The handwriting is alleged to be that of the defendant , and hence his arrest. The young man who is charged with this very grave offence was seme few months ago a clerk .in the Postoffice here.

Wilmington is the stroug point of Episcopal influence and wealth in East Carolina, and the Bishop elect should be made to feel that he is to have hearty fand substantial support from the Church here, ine public are in vitcd. Conrad the Corsair. There was a small audience at the Opera House last night, but those who were present had lots of fun. The bur lesque was rather stale and insipid, but its dullness was relieved by the ' intro duction of songs, dances and funny sayings which made the entertainment pas3 off agreeably. The singing of Mrs. Oates and Miss Leonard was ex cellent and their duetts were renderod charmingly. The comic singing of Mr. Henry Lindley was irresistibly laugh able, and his appearance was always greteed with rounds of applause. The cojapany was accompanied by their own pianist, who could execute rapid ly and make more noise than we ever heard produced from "a piano, but who played without a thought of expression, shading or phrasing.

After eating her supper, the daughter came out of the. dining room and found the door open. She closed and locked it and went into the yard in rear of the house, but returned in a few moments to find trie door again open This, as a matter of course, aroused suspicion, and a search up stairs show; ed that several trunks and boxes had been broken open, from one of which had been taken $90, that Mr. Smith had bean saving for a sacked purpose and- from another- $30, j which the daughter had earned by industry with her needle. The scoundrel took nothing but the money, but the loss of that was a cruel j misfortune to the unfortunate and afflicted oM man. We hope that the thief may be detected, convicted and punished to the extent of the pen alty prescribed by law. !
