TIT ron TAT. The following novel story
ola robbery is richly worth place in our col
umns. We quote from the Montreal Times:
About three weeks since the son ola habi-
tant living at st. Augustin, Riviere da Chene,
having sold pair of oxen in town, was re-
turning home in the evening with his money,
when, in lonely part ofihe road, Inc was pass
ed by gentleman, as he supposed, in fine
sleigh with good horse, who Immediately
drew up and induced the boy 10 fasten his
horse behind the sleigh, and TO get in with
him to enliven the tediousness of the road by
conversation. Shortly afterwards the gentle
man asked the boy if he had not sold n pair
ofoXen that day in town, to which the boy,
becoming somewhat suspicious, answered
sold them about unset,and had got the mon
ey, and that if he did not give it TO him he
would blow his brains out, at the same time
pulling from his pocket pistol. The boy
becoming alarmed, pulled from his pocket a
purse containing the money,which fortunate
ly dropped on the road. The robber imme-
diately jumped out ofhis sleigh, which was
some yards in advance ofthe purse, and ran
back for his longed-for treasure, when the
boy, with great presence of mind, took hold
of the reins and drove off as fast as he could
with both horses and sleighs. The robber
then fired his pistol, the contents of which
passed through the back of the sleigh and
between the boys legs. The boy reached
home in safety, and after examining the sleigh
found in the box of it, which was locked, the
sum ofthree thousand francs-el25 curren-
cy. No one, as might be expected, has APP
piled for the sleigh and horse.

RRANDRETH,S PILLS

AS ageneral family medicine, especially in a coun.
- try so subject to sudden changes of temperature
as this, their value is incacuable. BY having the
Brandreth pills always on hand, should sudden
attack of sickness take place, they can be given al
once, and will often have effected cure before the
physiCisn could have arrived
In choic and inflammation of the bowels, these pills
will at once relieve, and perseverance in their use
according to the directions, will surely do all that
medicine can do to restore the health of the patient
In all cases of indigestion, worms, asthma, dis.
eases of the heart and all affections of the stomach
and bowels, the Brnadreth pills will! be found nev.
er failing remedy.
To ensure the full benefit of the celebrated pills
they should be kept in the house, so that upon the
first commencement of sickness, they may be al
once resorted to. One dose then is better than a
dozen after disease has become established in the
system For sale at the store Of II. A. STIDGER
