The Louisville papera, several days ago. published a statement that a gold watch stolen in May from the residence of Mr. Jonathan Beard, near Edwards-ville had been recently returned to him by a woman, and these papers at once connected the late highwaymen, Devin and Tennyson, with the theft of the valuable time-keeper. The story was a pretty one, but Mr. Beard said to the Ledger yesterday that there was not a particle oi foundation for it, as his stolen watch has not been returned to him and he had no idea who Btole it or where it is.V/ V.toarthiyNdaBlt;MLivimfrwg*tt
