GREAT BANK RoBBERY.-On opening the
Delaware Bank Of this village on Monday
morning, it was found that the lock to the
inner door of the vault could not be unlock.
ed, and a smith was sent for, who had to cut
the heads of the bolts before it could be
opened. When access was obtained the vault
was found empty. The robbers had by false
keys entered the barking room from the rear,
moved the wood box and sawed a hole through
the floor, and then crawled under the floor
some ten feet to the side Of and under the
door of the vault, then undermined the stone
work so as to gain an entrance.
Taking all they wanted, they returned the
same way, after slipping nail in the lock in
such a manner as to prevent the bolts from
moving. On coming out they carefully re-
placed the boards sawed out, and put the
wood-box in its proper place-not the least
suspicion was excited until the vault door
was opened. About 1885, is missing,
1928, 900 Of which is in the bills of the bank,
$4,000 in gold and silver, and the balance in
other money. $4,000 of the bills Of the
bank are mutilated, and were laid by for the
purpose Of returning to the Bank Department.
1t was one Of the boldest and most successful
robberies ever attempted.
The bank offers a reward OF $4,000 for the
recovery OF the money, and the detection of
the thief or thieves The business of the
bank will not be interrupted in consequence

suffered considerably by the gale, having had
her decks swept, and they were then cooking
by small cabin stove. The captain was try

SAD ACCIDENTS occur during every epidem-
&c, and will, we suppose, occur during every
succeeding epidemic for all time to come.
Married people with their children, wholly
raw snd unacclimated, from the North and
West, often come here during the heights of
epidemics for the purpose of lettering their
fortunes-st least we can imagine no other
motive. The father takes sick and dies. The
mother takes sick and dies. The children
take sick also, and perhaps one of them re-
covers, and becomes a destitute orphan in
strange land to be consigned, if not claimed
by distant relatives, to some one of our MANY
excellent philanthropic institutions, or to take
the precarious and demoralizlng chances of
the streets. -Sometimes the father dies. and
leaves helpless widow and large family of
children to buffet against the storms of hard
world Sometimes all die. Not long since a
married couple and two childen arrived from
the West. In four days all were taken; and
although every attention was paid them. not
week elapsed before all were carried to the
cold and silent tomb by plying strangers
What lesson what a commentary this
ought to be.
Still these lessons are without effect. In
vain does the daily press beg the whole unac-
climated to stay away. Hundreds and hun
dreds have come, hundreds have died, and
hundreds and hundreds will come to share
the same fate, only to DO succeeded by reck.
less thousands. We ought to have a quaran-
tine to compel the absence of fresh, healthy.
unaccimated strangers. They nourish the
fever, stop business, and put our people to
the labor and expense of nuping and buryinR
them Instead of doing any good they kill
themselves and injure us.-N. o. Crescent

picking beans, gszed on thee and felt a
peacock's pride. In silence leaned we DER

rafting Of the beans, Kate, was all the sound
we heard. The auburn curls hung down,
Kate, and kissed thy lily cheek and thy
azure eyes, half filled with tears, bespoke a

RENARKABLH CURE OF LUNATIc.-Dr.
Thsyer, on Thursday, performed surgical
operation on lunatic. The man was thrown
from a wagon about i've years since, fractur-
ing his skull against fence stake, the injury
bringing ON q violent dsrAngement, which be.
came permanent. he was taken to the Luna
tic Asylum, where he remained a considera-
BILE time, until he was discharged as incura-
Bile, and was finally remanded to the Jail of
this county, where he has remained during
the last twelve months. His wife engaged
the services Of DR.. ThAyer to attempt the
cure of her unfortunate husband. After ex-
amining the case, DR.. Thsysr found portion
of the skull much depressed, and resolved to
remove it. On entering the cell with his as
sistants for that purpose on Friday, the man
became greatly enraged and poured voleys
Of excavations on DIR. Thayer, as though he
was aware of the business he came on. At
the order of jailor Frazee, the lunatc lay
down on his bed, and was Immediately con-
fined, and copiohs doses OF chloroform admin
istered. until he became perfectly insensible.
The depressed portion of the skull forming a
piece little smaller than a quarter of dol
lar, which had been pressing on the brain,
was then taken out, and found to have thick
ened considerably on one side. The head
was bneH DOuuu WIN u DduuhRe saturated
with water, and the patient left to recover
from his stupor. On Saturday morning he
awoke arose from his bed, and walked
up and down the room, perfectly ration
al. He complained that the bandages, which
for some reason that he did not understand,
had been put on his head, hurt him, and
asked the attendant if they might be loosen
ed. AS soon as relieved from the pressure, he
lay down on his bed and fell asleep. On his
again awakening, he was asked if he would
like his wife to see him. She had a child a
few days before the accident, and he now ex-
pressed a doubt whether she would be able to
get out Of bed. On her entering he was as
tonished to find her so we'll after her recent
illness, and feared that her health would sui
fer from exposing herself SO early. He asked
after the child and wished to see il, but was
put off with evAsive answers till it was con-
sidered advisable to explain matters to him.
He then commenced talking Of things as II
having occurred but yesterday. 1t was long
time before he could be made aware Of the
fact Of his long illness and insanity, and
when at last convinced Of il, stated that he
had no recollection Of anything other than
misty kind Of dream about his being sick.
He recommended his wife to go home to her
friends Until he was we'll, as her stay in
Cleveland would be expensive, and talked
perfectly rational on other subjects. He is
now in fair Of recovery, and will probably
do well, unless inhamfnat should super
