RoBBERs ARREsTED.--S m two
years since one Rosenberg--a German
peddler-was attacked in Potion, G. E.,
and robbed Of large amount of dry
goods and jewelry, but no clue TO the
robbers could be obtained. Since that
time there have been a great many things
taken from the people Of the neighbOr-
hood around Potion, but no proof against
any one could be obtained until quite re-
Gently. A Mis-. Walker, a young mar~
ried woman, lately displayed new and
rich silk dress which the people, judging
from the circumstances OF the family,
surmised was part of the stolen goods.
Rosenberg was sent for. He came on
and with the sheriff went to the house Of
the father of young Walker; the house
was searched but nothing found until Ro-
senberg discovered that the sofa was stuf-
fed with different materials than is usu-
ally used for stufing sofas, and with his
jack-knife commenced an investigation
The sofa proved to be filled with dres:
goods to large amount, and of all kinds
shawls, laces, &C., all of which were re-
cognised as the goods taken from him.
The iewelry was found in wooden box
nailed to the side of the house and con-
cealed by bed. A number of arrest:
have been made, but the meanest and
biggest thief of all, "Jate Walker" i;
still at large.

At dinner call Capt. Blake marched bis
company to the North Seminary Hall
where the boys were treated with a
sumptuous DINER provided at the Cap

BILE and pleasant. After grace was said

Important from Mexico.

CAIRO, Sept. 16. The New Orleans
Times City of Mexico correspondence
Of the 1lth inst. says the news from the
United States causes great agitation
among the Imperialists and extreme anx-
iety among the most jealous adherents OF
Msximilian. They are discouraged, and
every one seems TO feel increasing des-
pondency. The Liberal forces are in
creasing rapidly in every direction, and
the papers daily chronicle continued fight
ing. Santiago, near Orizaba, has declar-
ed for Juares, recognizing Gen. Garcia
as the Liberal Governor of Vera Cruz
This place offers great advantages to the
Liberals, as it puts them in connection
with the States of Tobasco and Chiapas.
Various bodies of Liberals are united
there and are seriously menacing Oriza-
ba itself and the railroad from Vera Cruz.
The Imperiaists attacked the place twice
and were severely repulsed, which caus-
ed a great sensation. I Austrian
Count, Theirese, h as been operating
in the mountains near Puebla, and cap
tured some prisoners of importance. An
- latoobD,a,t -
posed OF company of lancers with a
mountain howitzer, was compelled o
surrender to the Liberals. The Austri.
an who commanded, and an Imperialist
officer we're shot. The Austrian COM
mander in Michoachan paroled some Re-
publicans in the hope that the Belgian
prisoners would be similarly treated by
the Liberals. The advantages this
State are decidedly in favor of the Lib.
erals.
An official paper from Durango men,
tions the appearance in that State, Of
Gen. Pattoria, who joined other bands Of
Liberals there, t b e combined forces
amounting to $500 men. The French
were awaiting their movements wi it h
great anxiety. The French Gen, Ne
gres has issued an order that all the pro-
prietaries must arm their laborers to re-
sist the Liberals, and makes the said pro.
prietaries responsible for the acts of the
Juarists. This is only giving arms to
the Liberals,
The Tampico correspondence is Of the
most discouraging kind. 1t i s three
months since communication has been
had with San Luis and the Interior
No merchandise can be transported, and
trade i 5 completely blocked. There
are no movements of the IDperialsts in
Sonora, chihuahua, Tobasco, Chiapas or
Culmia, which States are entirely in the
hands OF the Liberals.
Five thousand Confederates are enroll
ed in the Imperial army. Gwin is at
the head of this business. 1t having
gained currency that the Empress would
visit Belgium to see her sick father, and
that Macmillan contemplated going. to
Yucatan, the project has been termina-
ted on the ground that it would excite
the belief that they were leaving the
and destroy the confidence oF
heir adherents. A play entitled The
death of Mr.. Lincoln" announced for
performance at the theater, has been for
hidden.

VAGRANcY.-David Livingston, 20

VAGRANcY.--David Livingston, 20
years of age, who is a native of Goshen
Gore, and has been soldier, domiciled
himself in the school house, on North
Avenue, in Burlington, built fire, milk
ed the cows, and "subssted" himself gen.
orally, out of the fatness Of the land be-
longing to the good people OF that neigh
borhood. He was discovered Sunday
evening and arrested, but not before he
had drawn a loaded revolver on the Of
ficer. He was brought before justice,
and having no money, or visible means
of support, was sent up for ten days to
the county Jail for vagrancy. This, the
Times says is the first conviction in
Burlington under the vagrancy act of
last session.

THE New YORK DEMOCRATIC Con-
vENTIoN.-The Albany Evening Jour
nal thus speaks of the recent Democratic
Convention in New York, which nomi-
dated Republicans for office and adopted
Union resolutions:
The character and work of the "dem-
ocratic" convention reminds US of little
illustration in the form OF fable. A
wolf caught skunk and was about to
slay him, when the skunk said: "Don't
kill me I'm wolf" "You a wolf -
Let me hear you bark" II can't bark
right, because I've got a bad cold" "But
your clothes don't look like a VOLTS. =
oh mine were stolen; these are my
little cousins" "But you havn't VOLTS
ears" Because my ears were trimmed"
The wolf, half convinced, was about to
leave, when be suddenly stopped. snuffed
the atmosphere a moment and exclaim-
ed: You may bark like a wolf, and
wear the clothes of a wolf, and show the
ears of a wolf, but no wolf ever had
such bad smell about him as you
And SO the poor skunk died.
