The GREAT ROBBERY AT ALEXANDRIA,
YA.-The Alexandra (Va.) Gazette of Thurs.
day, gives the following account of the great
robbery of 500, 900 worth of jewelry and
watches in that city, previously reported by
telegraph =
"rhe boldest and most daring robbery that
we remember ever to have been committed in
this city, was perpetrated on Tuesday night
last. The extensive jewelry establishment of
w. W. Adam, on King street, was entered
by means of false keys, through the from:
door, and nearly his entire stock of watches
and jewelry stolen, and as yet no clue what
ever has been obtained as to who the robbers
are. The burglars selected the silver ware
from the albatta and imitation ware, carrying
off all the silver and leaving the imitation.
Each case was opened and its contents stolen.
The boxes containing sets of jewelry, were
embtied, and the boxes left. All the watches
in he store were carried off among them
many that had been left there by persons TO
be repaired. The iron safe was entered by
means Of false keys, and all the money and
5ewelfy was taken. Nothingi in the store was
broken or damaged. but the thieves accom-
pllsbed their purpose in the most adroit man.
lsItets EFen the cases in which the repaired
watches were kept, the key of which had been
carefully put away, was opened, and the key
found in the lock.

Love, MARRIAGE, AND SUIcIDE.-The Gin
cinnat Gazette relates the mournful story of
young German girl of that city, named Eliz-
abeth Welles, who, about eighteen months
ago, became acquainted with native of her
own country named Carl Hoffman. Ac-
qualntance soon ripened into ardent love, and
the twain desired TO be 'made one Aesh,'
but Elizabeth's parents refused to sanction
the proposed union. Cast down by this op
position, the young woman sickened, and her
lover left the country in gloomy disappoint-
ment' After months of illness the young lady
recovered, and her parents finally prevailed
upon her to wed. She in blind obedience gave
her hand, but her heart was far across the sea.
The union was of course an unhappy one.
and the broken hearted woman purchased
poison, and with it ended her grief.

merlcal advantage over their opponents, by
more than two to one, After some rappngs
had been heard, one of the Professors asked
how they were produced, and the answer was
that the spirits could not account for them.
Prot Pierce then called in one of his stu
dents, who, without pretending to be spir-

successfully as the other side.

visible agency were made, but they failed

THE PRoFEssoR Tale. By Currer Bell.
author OF Jane Eyre "Shirley," "Vilette,"
SC. l vol limo. New York: Harper &
Brothers. 1857.
The public will, of course, give a cordial re-
ception to this new work of Charlotte Bronte.
In the preface to it, she informs us that it was
written before either " Jane Eyre" or Shirley"
yet not till after she had become a practiced
writer. 1t was not published during her life, but
is now brought out by her husband Being in
tentionally Invested of those extraordinary and
unnatural incidents which are the leading char
acteristics Of certain class of romances it relies
for success on the talent of the author to portray
the scenes Of common life, and the feelings,
passions, and emotions, of common people, and
to analyze the character OF her subjects The
effort to produce novel of this character was
worthy of the genius of Charlotte Bronte and
the success of the effort will add new wreath to
the chaplet of her fame.

CHANCE FOR DECKER - The Old Colony
Memorial thinkssthat the Republican State Con-

Ransom, the present K. N. incumbent for State
Auditor, and suggests that some arrangement

the regular nominee Of the Republican party for
that Office, and substitute name which would
ensure the American vote. Here is a splendid
opportunity for Messrs. Pangborn. Burlingame,
and Wilson, to show their skill IN political dip

METEoRIc-P. Johnson communicates the
following to the N. Y. Tribune, from Carbon-
dale, Pa, June 20 -
"A strange and startling phenomenon took
place near this city just at sunset last evening.
A large cloud was seen making its appearance
coming directly from the Northwest accom-.
panied by considerable wind When near
this place, dark looking substance was
seen to leave the cloud aud make dag
oual!y for the earth. So soon as it struck
the ground, CONTRARY to all expectation, it be-
came highly luminous. Making directly for
a large barn that stood in the field, it passed
through its centre, setting it on fire, and con-
tinued its course, gaining in velocity as far as
the eye could reach, making straight course
for the woods, melting stones of considerable
size, and burning up brush and underwood,
making complete road of rod or more in
width, for the distance of three miles, and
finally fetching up against perpendicular
breast of solid anthracite coal of sixty feet in
thickness, proving rather too much for his
cometsh p. leaving nothing but a sulphurous
mass behiud.'
