The Post Office at Winona was robbed
on Thursday night last, of between $500
and 500 in cash, and 5000 in posta g
stamps. The Republican says s.. -. w..
The circumstances, as we have been in
formed by Postmaster Downcr, are as fol-
lows: Mr.. d. and his clerk left the Office
about 81 o'clock in the evening, tho former
for his residence, and the latter to attend
party in the town. Locked up in an
iron safe, within the distributing room of
the Office, there was a sum Of money be-
longing to the Department, in amount be-
tween 5000 and 500, and upwards of
$500 in postage stamps. The key to this
safe, Mr.. Downer carried in the pocket Of
his pantaloons. Returning at an early
hour, he left his clothing, as usual, upon
chair in the sitting room, from which his
bed room opened. At some hour during
the night the house was entered by one or
more persons, and the safe key taken from
the pocket. A watch lying in the same
room was also carried off. Proceeding to
the Post Office, the robber effected the en-
trance at the back window, and finding his
way to the safe, the robbery was easily
carried into ettect-the money AMI stamps
above mentioned falling prey to his GU
pidity and daring.
Mr.. Downcr offers 500 reward for the
capture of the robber

with an occasionally dry itching humor, which
prematurely turned the hair gray, and latterly
causing it to come off rapidly, leaving tho
crown nearly bare, seeing the advertisement
in the Gazette, was induced to try it, and now,
after the use of two bottles only, his hair has
turned quite dark and is very soft, the scalp
clean, and the recently bald spots covered with
beautiful growth Of silky dark hair the Sight

Mr.. Lincoln has restricted the time for
receiving visitors to one and half hours
each day during the remainder of his stay.
n last general reception will be given to-
morrow evening at his private residence.
Horace Greeley returned from the West
this morning. This afternoon he was call
cd upon at his hotel by Mr.. Lincoln. The
interview lasted several hours. Mr.. Gree
ly urged a strict adherence to anti-compro-
mise policy, and is said to have received
gratifying assurances. His opinion as to
cabinet and other appointments Was solicit
ed and given. He is known to be strong
ly opposed to Cameron and very much in
terested in the appointment of Chase and
Colfax. Colonel Fremont, he thinks,
should have the mission to France. Al
though just defeated in Albany, for the
Senate, he, like a disinterestcd patriot, did
not ask anything, either for himself or
friends. G. B. Lincoln, of New York,
was present during part of the interview.

MISCET.L.ANEOUS

TIE INAUGURATION OF LANGUAGES There
is growing tendency in this age to appropriate
tho most expressive words IF other languages,
and after while to incorporate them into our
own; thus the word Cephalc, which is from
ihe Greek, signifying ''for the head" is now
becoming popularized in connection with Mr..
Spalding's great Headache remedy, but it will
soon he used in a more general way, and the
word Cephulic will become as common as Elec-
trotype and many others whose distinction as
foreign words has been used away by common
usage until they seem 'natiye and to the man
or born" .. .,
St. Cloud Democrat. [volume] (Saint Cloud, Stearns County, Minn.) 1858-1866, 1861-02-14

pF HEADACHE is the favorite sign BY which
nature makes known any deviation whatever
from the natural state Of the brain, and view
ed in this light it may be looked on as safe
guard intended to give notice of disease which
might otherwise escape attention, till too late
to be remedied; and it's indications should
never be neglected. Headaches may be class
flied under two names, viz: Spmptomatic and
Idiopathic. Symptomatic Headache is exceed
ingly common and is the precursor of great
variety of diseases, among which are Apo
plexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all febrilc dis
eases. In its nervous form it is sympathetic
Of disease of the stomach constituting sick
headache, Of hcpathlc disease constituting IH-
'ous headache, Of worms, constipation and other
disorders of The bowels, as well renal and
uterine affections. Diseases Of the heart are
very frequently attended with Headaches An
enlia and plethora are also affections which
frequently occasion headache. ldicpatlic
Headache is also very common, being usually
distinguished by the name of nervous headachc,
sometimes coming on suddenly in a state Of
apparently sound health and prostrating at
once the mental and physical energies, and in
other instances it comes on slowly, hcralled
by depression of spirits or acerbity Of temper.
In most instances the pain is in the front Of
the head, over one or both eyes, and sometimes
provoking vomiting under this class may also
be named Neuralgia.
For the treatment of either class of Head
ache the Cephalic Pills have been found a sure
and safe remedy, relieving the most acute pains
in few minutes, and by its subtle power Grad
icating the diseases Of which Headache is the
unerring index.

a verdict that the child came to it 8 death from
wounds inflicted in its throat by some instru-
ment to them unknown, and aided by the ad-
ministration of laudanum by some person or

Fortress MONROE, July %, 1861.
Sir: The visit of Postmaster General Blair
to this post may be regarded as peculiarly op.
portuue. Asa Marylander by birth and associa.
ton, familiar with the wants of this section of
Virginia, he knows well how to enter into the
patriotic desire Of General Butler for speedy
close of this most righteous war for the Union.
He was received, with the friends of his com.
papy, in an appropriate manner, while his ur-
bane department and the deep personal interest
which he evidently took in the prosperity Of this
command, afforded great pleasure to all who
met him. He has carried back to Washing.
ton and the Cabinet, perfect knowledge of the
fact hat the Pressing want Of the Union forces
in Eastern Virginia at this moment is suffi.
cheney of cavalry and artillery. By the peree.
verance of e few active ofiicers--more especially
Of Colonel Butler brother of the Ge6era!--a
supply of horses is in fair way of being Oh.
tanned. The guns can soon be mounted, and,
with the men and horses trained, aud an abund.
ance of harness and ammunition, accompanied
by suitable squsdrons Of cavalry and infantry,
the field batteries of this region will ere long be
heard from in manner that will CRAFTY every
patriotic heart in the country.
We are much indebted to the Post Office De.
partment for the very liberal supply of good
reading matter furnished for free distribution in
this command. Series OF thousands of maga.
zines, periodicals, and newspapers have been
circulated by competent hands in the different
camps, hospitals, and on board the ships in the
Roads. Sometimes there are those who receive
the daily pal srs who do not care to look over
those that have become q few days old on their
way to the maiess land Of secession. But there
are thousands OF others who are not thus su.
eted. Men in com psratively remote cam ps and
hospital, especially those on board our ships.

pass along our coast, or who speak vessels 81 far,

t, great advantage The seameu at Old Point
enquire eagerly Tor them, aud bear them of to
their vessels with gratitu 'e.
Let us earnestly hope that the bubble Of spces.
sion will soon burst aud tho tide of intelligence
from a free pen and press Cow deep aud wide
all over our Southern county,
For let secession do as Il will,
The South belongs to the Union still.
We are gradually "closng rivets up" ir this

aud naval strength. The men are growing more
and more pr frirn' in active drill. Whatever
