RORRERT


Early yesterday morning, about $500 in
sovreigns were stolen from the store of EN-
erson q Shields, in this city. a person by
the name Of Bell, who had been discharged
from the City Hotel the day previous, was
Immediately suspected, owing to the fact that
he was about The store shortly after it was O.
Fened, In way that gave opportunity for the
commission cf the theft. He was accused
but stoutly denied the act. Search was made
in various directions for the money, and at
last ali but about go was found secreted in
the garrett.
During the absence Of Mr. Emerson and
the City Marshal, to procure a warrant for
Bells arrest, the fact was communicated to
him that the money had been found. He i'm
mediately disappeared, and nothing more had
been seen of him up to last evening. He has
lef. clothing and effects of some value behind
him.-Du5uque Tribune.
A Washington Doctor gave a prescription
of Morphine for Iodine, which he gave to a

fatal error by very approved physician.

Passion FOR TOBACCO Those who use
tobacco know the strength of the habit. Ii
is hard 20 break from it as ii is to abandon
the use of intoxica lag drinks-some say
even more difficult. The distinguished
preacher, Burchard, thus relates his own ex
pcrIence IN his ant, tobacco war:
Il was once said he, IAN inveterate lover
of tobacco, and | know how difficult it is TO
break the habit OF using it; still it can be
done | INDUCED in the use of the weed to
great success; | loved il; hut Knowing iEiat
IFS effects were bad, and especially Ill become
man of the gospel. | made one almighty re-
solve 10 quit 1t. With that resolution took
tremendous .cud which was to be my
wind OFF. | chewed it and uhewed it, and
rolled lt as Il sweet moTsel under nv tongue
and fiom one cheek to the other, for three
weeks. LII is certain tobacco never tasted So
good before and shed tears when recol
Iected that it was 10 be my last indulgence.
When its strength was all gone. threw If
