Louis Nadin, a Frenchman, residing in Mobile, Ala., made the olurtdng and unex? pected discovery tbat he bad been robbed, as long ago as November 30, of about eleven thousand dollar-: irj mouey and bonds by a bold and successful confidence ^atnu. Some timo in the latter pars of November, Nadin made the acquaintance of a French mau?a new-comer about whom he knew uothing except that he was a countryman. The two were often together and eventually became good friends. Thij new acquain? tance then introduced Nadin tu another Freuchmuu, who, he said. \va.-s an acquaint* ancc of his, aud all three finally became in? timate. When these two new fi lends Lad j gained Nadin'.-: confidence, one of them pre- j tended to receive intelligence of the death ' of his father. He manifested areat grief, expressed a desire to nave masses t!;ii-l for the repose of his dead purents' sou', ;?.::?; showed Nadin a large amount of money, which, he said, be wouid spend for ;bat pur? pose. Nadin, to reciprocate the confidence displayed by his friend, Bhowed some of his own possession.", in the shapo of bonds. The other French man said tbat he had tome bonds and valuables iu p. box in bis room at the Hotel Royal. Nadin insisted that a hotel was not a sale place for such treasures, und upon bis suggestion the Frenchman got his box aud displayed I lie gold m.:' bonds which it contained. A few seconds iater Nadin was called from the room, and when be re? turned his friend told him that be had put his (Nadin's) treasures iu bis own box, which he turned over to the Mobile in an for safe keeping, saying that he bad to go to San Antonio, but would be back it. tend aye. Nadin.never Buspected anything wrong un? til Sunday when he broke open his friend's box und found that there was no:hing jh it but a number of newspapers aud a lot of lead. Ho reported lue case to tho police, wh? hau? used the telegraph freely with il.c I hope of capturing the thieves. John Roach Dying.?It is known that for some weeks John Roach, the great ship? builder, has been confined to bis residence in gradually failing health. According to his owu desire thai bis friends should not be needies-sly alarmed and appreheneive of the efJtcl upon bim of learning the real na? ture of the disease from which he is suffer? ing, hi* family and physiciai i have been reticent in tegHni I" bis condition. Mr. Koach, however, now realizes fully tho im possibility of recovery, and the reason for concealment no longer i xiste. In view of this fact a representative of Mr. Reach's family makes the following concise and autborita j live statement of the invalid'.- condition: Mr. Itcach is beyond the .-each of medical help, save in the alleviation of bis sufferings, which have long been incessant and intense. His disea-e is cpitbelioma, and its develop ment has been vory bimilar to the case of Gen. Grant, the location, however, being the roof of the mouth instead of the throat. All efforts to arrest its progress have failed, and only bis powerfal constitution has ttis toineil Mr. Koach so long. Ho hr.3 never seen a well day since jho entire nervous prostration consequent upou bis assignment eighteen iuoqiLb ago. From that crushing blow he could not rally, and <he cancer be gan to develop last January. Iu March an operation was performed, in the hope that the disease migbt be eradicated. In tho summer the trouble returned, and if- became evident to the physicians that there was no hope. Mr. Reach is now failing rapidly, bis agony being relieved only by anodynes. -?> -r? Earthquake in Maryland.?Dispatch es have been received from West minster, Frederick, Emmetttburg, and other towns in western Maryland, stating i hat the in? habitants were considerably excited over violent, ?bock? aud loud rumblings, which had awakened them from sleep, and con? tinued at intervals from 11:30 Sunday night until early next morning. No damage was done so far as can be learned, but as that country is mountainous tho people are ap? prehensive of grave trouble. Congrsssiusn Shaw, who lives at Westminster, eaye ho was awakened by what sounded like the blasting of rocks, ami pictures were shaken from wails in olher housts. He beard two distinct shocks in rapid succession. Tho mercury at Westminster was 4 degrees be? low zero vesterdov morning. Russia's Canal Scheme.?Russia has concluded arrangements for obtaining from the Hersents, of Paris, a loan of 75,000,000 fraucs. The money is to bo expended in constructing a canal from the eastern ex? tremity of the Gulf of Perekop, in the Black Sea, across the neck of land joining th< Crimea to the mainland to the sea of Az \\. in order to afford a direct water route from the river Don to the Black Sea. The uro posed route would be shorter, more dirc-c!, and much easier from the mouth ?. I the Don to either Odessa, the mouth? of ; ? iv.nuhe, Sebastopoi, or tho Bospborus than ibe pres? ent one by way of the Strait of Kertch, which is both roundabout and difficult. The railways adjacent to ibis =i-w water route vviil bo put in direct communication with it. p ODGERS'S FINE TABLE CHI jL\ celebrated Scissors, and Hogers Bros.'s Plated Spoons acd Forks, for sale low bv nov3 JAS.
