Singular Case OF Robbery.

Mr. Robert F. Carson, late Treasurer of Clin.
ton Co., arrived at Harrisburg on Tuesday last
week, and put up at Coverley's Hotel On Mon
day morning last he alleged that his trunk had
been robbed of the sum offs 500 which he had
brought with him to pay into the State Treasury
On Tuesday he had bills printed, and posted up a.
bout town, offering reward ofs20O for the reco
very of the thief or thieves and money
The Harrisburg Telegraph says that Mr.. Co.
VERIFY thinking from the company that Mr.. Car
son had kept since he had been in town, that the
alleged robbery mad more fancy than fact in it
and that the statement which he had published
was slander upon his house, had him arrested
and taken before one of our Justices where wit
nesses were examined, and Carson was bound o.
yer to appear before our next Court for trial.
Upon an examination of the trunk which was cut,
and from which it was alleged that the money
had been taken, two respectable trunk makers OF
this place testified before the justice that the cut
in il was made from the inside. Mr. Carson
also, acknowledged that he had been gambling
two nights, but did not recollect where he wa;
the other nights, each of which he was out very
late. We state the facts as we have them from
a eredtable source, and leave the reader to judg'
for himself.

Among the "thousand and one" rumors that

by persons regardless Of the consequences-per.

Important BiII.

We understand that Co.. BIoLER, Senator
from Clearfeld, has reported bill to provide
for the payment Of the State debt, which con.
tains some excellent provisions.
1t provides for tax upon inheritances both
lneal and collateral, OF at least fpe per cent.
"a tax which we regard as emnen,ly Just and
right; and which if properly assessed and COL
lected, would of itself pay of our whole State
debt before the year 1900.
The bill also as we understand, requires the
State Treasurer, Immediately after the passage
OF the law, to ascertain the entire value of the
whole nssessable property as revised, equalised,
and established by the Board of Revenue Com.
missioners, and to ascertain the amount of per
centage. which the entire State Debt, includ.
ing the relief notes yet in circulation, will be
upon the whole amount of the taxable property
OF the State, and to transmit to the Treasurers
of the several counties statement of the per
centage. whose duty it shall be to give public
notice in their proper counties, and the owners
of real estate can have the opportunity Of pay.
ing in full the proportion of the State Debt that
properly attaches ITSELF to their real estate !;
and the County Treasurers are authorized to
receive in payment for the same gold and silver.
certificates Of State debt, &C., and if paid with.
in three years, an abatement of Is per cent. and
receive an exonera'on for ever from the paw.
ment OF any tax in part of the existing State
debt
We have no doubt, then, under such orovi-
sion at least one third of the valaulbe real es-
tate in the commonwealth would be redeemed
and exonerated within the three years. and thus

The fact is well known, that DRASDRETH's

all having the same root, which is impurity Of the
circulating find, the BLOOD.
In a period of little more than ten years in the
United States, they have restored 70 perfect healb

sons who were given over as incurable by Phvs-
clans of the first rank and standing, and in many
cases, when every olher remedy had been resortej
To IN vain.
The great secret is to have the medicine by you
when you are first attacked with sickness; one
dose then will have more good effect than twenty,
if you put i, off until disease has enfeehled the hos
