FOUND Our That ''retired clergyman whose
sands Of life have nearly run out and who adj
veTtises extensively that he will send a recipe
for curing certain complaints on receipt of postage
stamps, &c., has been exposed. The editor of
the Lancaster pa Examiner was coaxed into
sending to him for his recipe, and he thus tells
us all about it:

genius Of the Doctors head, who will send il by

geniOus manner that has been devised vet to gull
the public, and goes far ahead of Professor Oil

HEAVY ROBBERY AT THE JERSEY CITY RAIL
ROAD.-The New York Herald says Mr.. Joseph
p. Mahoney. from Frederick county, Va, in en-
tering the Jersey City Railroad depot, on w led
nesday morning, to take the a. IN. train for
Philadelphia was robbed by some dexterous pick
pocket of his pOcket-book, containing 81 .2}5 in
money. and two notes of S6l7 each. Mr. Maho-
ney missed his pocket-book immediately after
he had seated himself I'm the cars. but all efforts
70 discover subsequently the perpetrator of the
theft was Intellectual. He saws that as he was
passing through the gate leading into the depot
he felt some one pull him by one of his shoulders
but be thought nothing of il, supposing some
person in hurrying to pass by him had merely at
tempted 10 pull him aside. There was a large
crowd pushing through the gate at the time, and
he thinks 1t probable that the bold thief whoever
he was, availed himself of the hurry and jam
and put his hand in his pantaloons' pocket and
extracted his pOcket-book. He felt no such move
lnent. however, but in proof OF it's having been
done found afterward that the outer button of his
pocket had been unbuttoned. which he reInem-
bers distinctly having buttoned subsequent to
having pure hased his railroad ticket The mo-
ney consisted of twelve 500 bills one twenty
dollar bill, one ten-dOllar bill and five dollar
bill They were all upon the Irving Bank of this
city. The two notes are dated July :. 1857 at six
and twelve months, and are for S6f7 each drawn
by Macarthur, Byrne, Gibbons & Co. to the order
OF Walker q Penman, ali of this city, and eI =
dOrsed by the latter.

state:
SALISBURY, July 9-We have received the sad
intelligence of the loss Of Prof Mitchell in the
Mountains, where he had gone to make some sci
entlfc examination. He left house in the Swan
ahoa zap, on Saturday week last, intending to be
gone few hours, and has not since been seen
though many persons have been searching for
him-seyeral for day. He was alone, but tRinly
clad, without food or fire, and a violent storm
came on after he had been absent a shot time
The cause of his loss is entirely mystery as vet:
but OF course not the least hope of his safety is
entertained They are only now hoping to re-
cover his body.
