H,sHwAY RoRHERy.-As Elder Ayers. O

HIsHwAY RoBBERY.-As Elder Ayers, Of
Monmouth, was returning from Monmouth
Center to Wales, on Saturday evening last,
in single horse Wagon. he was waylaid
by two highwaymen, who demanded hls
money on the peril of his life. He replied
that he had no money for them, and thought
it very strange that they should attempt 10
rob Methodist minister. They insisted,
however, that he must deliver" and one oil
Them attempted TO board him but by Wig
orous effort he succeeded in preventing him
from entering the Wagon. The one hold
ing the horse then called upon his companion
20 shoot the rascal, bur at that moment hear
ing the approach of another carriage, they
deemed it expedient to escape. We under
stand that suspicion is fastened upon a GER
tam individual in the neighborhood. and we
trust, if guilty, he will be brought 10 punish
mcnt. Elder Ayers certainly conducted
himself with much GOODNESS, and should the
free hooters continue their operations, we
hope they will meet with similar customers.

To DR. d F BRApLEE-Dear Sir-The Hungarian Bal
sam has performed miracle indeed, IN the of my
youngest daughter who has been
ed consumption by the of only three bottles of the ill.,
estimable medicine She had been decline for
iy three years, and considered beyond all hope
when the Balsam taken. We had consulted numer-
Gus distinguished physicians and tried all the famous pre-
scrpttons for consump ona southern journey, the new
system OF inhalaon &c-without any apparent beneht,
and had almost consigned her, with breaking heart TO
the grave But the Hungarian Balsam under Providence
has saved her lite and refuse to give
idence of this astonishing fact for the benefit of those who
may be similarly afflicted In my estimation, there
be painful spectacle, than that of inte-
gent and beloved child, sinking, day by day, under this
dreadful mslady with hope OF relief and dropping
the last, the very dawn of life while even
the loneliness of the unfortunate victim renders her con-
dition more terrible to all beholders.

Can it be possible, that with two organs in

has found it necessary to employ another in the
immediate neighborhood.
The following authoritative announcement
from the Alexandria Gazette, of Virginia, late
of this District, sounds wonderfully as though
its editor had received the genuine afflatus
Hear him:
Beware of false rumors from Washington
The newspapers are cooking up accounts of diff
ficultes between the officers Of the government
&c. Nothing at all oft. The Cabinets united
and harmonious. Mr.. Whittesey, said to have
had difficulty with Messrs. Corwin aud Stuart
denies the report in toto. We expect, that
since Mr.. Fllmore's accession to the office o.
President, there was never time, when greater
good feeling and more entire union of sentiment
prevailed amongst the public officers at the ME
