DROWNED – We regret to announce that the person unfortunately drowned at the mouth of the stream five miles below this city, and swept into the Missouri river, early last week, is proved to have been Mr. William H. Parks, of Omaha City , brother of our fellow townsman, George Parks. He was returning from Nebraska City on horseback when the sad accident occurred. His body has not yet been recovered, and his friends will liberally reward any person who will find it and give them notice at this place. – His height was about 5 feet 10 inches, of medium size, light complexion, light hair and whiskers, and had on a light colored overcoat- other clothes not remembered. As the horse was also lost, it is thought he might have clung to the bridle reins and both may be found together. – Council Bluffs Eagle.  

On the night of the 23d of February last, the Post Office in Lansing, Alamakee [sic] County, was entered burglariously and the mail bags stolen. Circumstances led to the suspicion that one Bill Faulkner and a negro named Peter Montgomery were parties to the crime, and they were accordingly arrested and taken before Justice Merrill, of Lansing , for examination. After his arrest the negro made a full confession, showing Faulkner had been the principal. The amount of booty obtained by the robbery was $2 mailed in Wisconsin for Mr. Coil, of Dorchester, and a package of postage stamps amounting to [?]. The stamps were found concealed after the arrests in a board pile near Faulkner’s house. Faulkner was committed in default of bail, and the negro was detained as a witness.
