hereafter to be lighted with gas The arrangements
will soon be perfected whereby gasworks will be con-
structed this fall and the pipes laid through Main St.
Those in want of this article will do well to make
their arrangements early for the introduction of gas
light. The gas will be the old-fashioned and well
tried coal gus, which has stood the test everywhere
and not rosino wood gas of which little is known
We trust the enterprise will not only save money to
those who use it but put good, fair dividends into the
pockets of the stockholders.

BRANDON. meeting house of the Con-
gregational church in Brandon, was re-opened
Sabbath before last, after complete interior
renovation, costing nearly $4,000. The audi
e!nce-room has been enlarged, the galleries are
lowered, the walls frescoed, the pews modern
lied and cushioned, and the floors carpeted
throughout. But the most interesting part of
the improvements consisted in pulpit of the
finest marble, beautifully and chastely designed,
and polished to the luster of crystal. Rare and
costly feature as it is in MISUNDERSTANDING,
nothing could be farther removed in appearance
from the pride of display. The oppression of
its snow.white luster is suggestive only of heav-
emily purity, and "the meelness and gentleness"
OF the Gospel of peace. The fine material of
the Brandon quarries, which has no equal in
the world for architectural purposes is suscep-
tible of soft finish highly conducive to this
effect. The pulpit was the munifcent gift of E.
d. Selden, Esq, proprietor of the Brandon
quarries, and is valued at about $500.

Thu heaviest robbery ever perpetrated ia
Greene county, was committed al Cedar
vile last week, some time between Tues
day and Saturday night--the precise tins
not being known. From Mr.. J. G. Nisbeit
We have obtained the following particulars.
Mr. Nisbett has been Township and Cor
poraiion Treasurer Of Cedaryille for nun.
bcr Of years, and sinct the new sub.ircasury
law was passed, has kept the funds in and
about his store room, which was but little
used, as lac was winding up business as a
merchant. For some time he kept the
specie deposited in the cellar, but not feel
ing secure, removed il TO the room above.
and put il in a box which be placed in =
nail kcg under the counter covered with old
papers, DC, no ono but Mr.. N. being aware
Of its whereabouts.
On Tuesday ho examined the money,
and found all safe. Not having occasion to
look at it again, several days passed, until
on Saturday evening, ono Of his children
discovered that the door Of building at
tached to tho back Of his store was open.-.-
On examination, MFR. N. discovered that the
back door Of the storeroom had been borod
through, n hook that fastened il raised. and
tho door opened. A further examination
showed that the room had been thoroughly
ransacksd, and the township funds, amount
ing to S2336,63 in gold taken. Tho rob
bcrs also, in their search, broke open desk,
and took therefrom small paper box, con-
tanning about $50 in silver, and $15 in pa
per money, together with pocket book in
which were all Of Mr.. Ms notes taken in
settling up his mercantile business. The
front door was found unlocked, the robbers
having made their exit that way. Ono or
two persons have been suspicioned, but as
yet no very definite clue has been found.
The robbery has boon committed by
somc porson or parsons evidently posted as
to the requirements Of the locofoco sub
treasury law which compels, with .speni-
tentiary clause" each township treasurer TO
keep in his individual possession the pub
lie money; and it is probably but the com
mepcement Of the game under that law
Mr. Nisbctt used, in securing the funds, all
the precaution which he, careful man, took
with his own individual money. In the
trouble and in the loss which be meets per-
sonally. by the stealing Of his notes and
private papers, he has the sympathy Of the
whole community.-Xenia Torch Liqhf-

RIGorNa AND TACKLE CoMpLerE For La
DIEs.-The Mechanics Magazine for last
week gives the following description Of
patent No. 1913, dated February 8, 1858 =
"lmproved apparatus for raising and lower
ing the skirts of ladies' dresses. This con-
sists in the uses of girde with cords unit
ed at one end in knot, whilst their other
extremities arc attached TO the garmsnt.-
By drawing them up by hand at tho knot,
the drcss will be raised to the distance re-
quirod, uniformly all round. The cords
are passed over pulleys."

DEAD HEADING.-Our Railroad mon
have great deal to say about FREE PASSES,
DEAD HEADS, and tho like, and seem to feel
as though every pass given by them to an
editor was great tauor. Without pre-
tonding to argue the point we may simply
say that such conclusion is in our opinion a
most erroneous one. No class of mon nav
so dearly for "riding on a rail" as those con-
nected with the press. Did they charge
for all they insert for the benefit of these
corporations they might well afford to buy
their tickets, and to ride ten times as much
as they now do. The fact is that it is the
press that has reason to complain of tho
dead head system. 1t matters not to us
who wrote the following, it is so full of truth
that every editor in the land will at the first
glance pronounce it most striking picture
OF their everyday experiences:
The press endures the inf1iction of dead
headism from the pulpit, the bar, and the
stage, from corporations, societies and indi-
viduals. 1t is expected to yield its inter
ests; it is required to give strength to weak
institutions; eyes to the blind, clothes to
the naked, and bread to the hungry; it is
asked to cover up infrmitics, hide weakness
os, and wink at improprieties; it is expected
to herald quacks, bolster up dull authors,
and fatter tho vain; it is, in short, to be all
things to all men; and if it looks for pay
or reward, it is denounced as mean and
sordid. There is no interest under the
whole heavens that is expected to give so
much to society without pay, or thanks, as
the press.

Tho London Times says that all ap-
pearances indicate that the present Attain
tic Cable must bc given up, and hopes thas
the experience gained will insure that sac
cess, which is finally certain. II admits the
great superiority Of the Niagara over tho
Agamcmnon, and thinks that ship should
be especially constructed for the laying Of
the Cable.
The London papers of Wednesday pub
lish an able report by Mr.. Hcnly, the elect-
rical Engineer on tho state Of the Atlantic
Cable. He is Of the opinion that tho Ca
bic is seriously injured about 500 miles
from Valentia. He has put his large mag
netic instrument in operation, with view
to transmit messages to New Foupdland
but will not know the result until advised
by steamers from America. Any attempt
to raise the cable in deep soundings would
in his Judgment cause its dcstruction.--
Finally, he does not despair Of making the
cable work if it does not get worse.
