STOP TEE ROBBERS!
800 REWARD!

THE subscriber returning from
Baltimore, was waylaid by two ruff.
ans, sboui7 O'Clock, on Friday evening
the 10Th inst. near the Hanging Rock
on the North Western Turnpike Road,
about two miles below the Tavern of
Col. Charles Blue, and after knocking
me off my horse and one holding NE
by the throat, they succeeded in taking
from me my pocket book containing
THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS
-Thirty-nins Fifty Dollar Bills on
the Bank of the United States, payable
at Baltimore, and tie balance of the
money was in small Notes ON different
Banks, bu: principally Valley money.
| have no recollection OF the appear
ance or dress Of these villains !; but am
inclined to the opinion that they must
have been the same persons who we're
seen passing house by female, about
half a mile from the place where this
hellish deed was committed, fifteen or
twenty minutes prior to my passing.
She describes the dress of these two
individuals as having on--one Blue
Frock Goat and pantaloons, and the
other Blue CIose.bodied Coat and
pantaloons. The same individuals
were noticed by others residing below
along the turnpike road during that
day, and concur in the opinion as to
dress as described from inquiry,
| have not been able to hear of any
such men having passed above where
this truly unfortunate-yet fiendish
act, was perpetrated. ! am therefore
inclined to the opinion that those per-
sons were the robbers. One of them,
| understand, carried small bundle
Their weapons were green chestnut
clubs, as they we're found on the next
morning at the place. The above re.
ward will be given for the apprehension
of the villains, as also, suitable conf
peusaiion for recovery of the money,
or any portion oft.

Hamp.co., Va, Aprilla, 18a5.-tf

THE Executive Committee OF the
Hartford County Silk Society, have
commenced monthly publication, call
ed the Silk Culturalis. and Farmers
Manual.
The object Of the publication is to
disseminate thorough Knowledge OF
the cultivation of the Mulberry Tree,
in all its varieties-The rearing OF Silk
Worms-The production of Cocoons
and the Reaiing iSilk, in The most ap.
proved method. The importance of
this knowledge will appear from the
fact that the nett profit Of land devoted
to the culture Of Silk, is double if not
triple, to that derived from any other
crop which can be put upon it. II is
also fact, that every moderate farmer
can raise several hundred dollars worth
Of Silk, withou, interfering with his Of
binary agricultural operations. But
in order TO avail himself Of this facility
TO obtain competency and wealth,
which our soil and climate have given
him, he must possess himself Of infor-
nation on The subject-for without it
his attempts will be fruii'ess. 1t is
therefore, the object Of the Committee
10 dilluse this Information as extensive
ly as possible, and atthe cheapest rate.
The publication will contain CONS
plete manual or directory from sowing
the seed to Keeling the Silk, together
with such facts and experiments, as
will enable farmers 20 raise Silk and
prepare it for market, without further
knowledge or assistance. 1t will also
contain interesting matter 90 egricultu.
raj subjects in general.
TERMs.-The Culturaist will BIZ
