Robbery in Baltimore

For some time past the extensive dry goods
firm Of Messrs Hamilton Easter q Co., Light
street, have had detectives on the search and
ockout for goods stolen from their establish
ment, and If possible, to ascertain and arrest
the. perpetrators. About $4,000 worth. OF
the goods have been recovered from two differ
cut business houses ID philadelphia, 10 the
past few days. T.ese goods had been LETT IN
their houses to be sold on COMMIT sslon, and the
proprietors at. once notified the detectives IN
Philadelphia; who in tuensnotlha ed che Messrs.
Easter, and the goods have been ldentii d
by Mr.. Hamilton Easter. The alleged pSlnci
pal party to the robbery, salesman Ia the
employ Of the Messrs. Easter, was arrested in.
Philadephia on Monday, an] gave bail for a.
hearing In his case on Tuesday, but at the
hour appointed for. him to appear before Alder
man Morrow, it was discovered that both he
and his sureties, (in whose possession the goods
were found. we're arrested, but subsequently,
released. Il IS ascertained that the robbery is
an 'e extensive one, and has doubtless been the
work Of years past, requiring system and ac.
completes. !, -. ..-.---

Explosion and Loss Of Life in Danville, Va
From a gentleman Of intelll sence whn
reached this city on foot from D4nyllie, we
have some interesting particulars of events
that occurred there, after the Surrender OF
Gen Lees army. When this event became
known n the iowa and surrounding country, a
crowd Of citizens, of all classes, ages and
colors, and llrg, number Of soldiers, collected
around the buildings in which. were stored lul
mense quantities Of com1nissary stores, and,
after a shortsdeIberation, made general rush
uron the establishments. The parties in
charge of the stores at first attempted 10 resist
the mob, but were quickly forced 10 de.
sist and seek their Own safety il flight
The individuals Of the mob scattered
throughout every part Of the buildings,
each one lplundering according % his or
herIaney In oneof the buildings, itappears,
there was a large quantity Of ammunition,
gunpowder In kegs, and percn <sion caps. The
soldiers and country people swarm ed around
the powder eager to secure 1t Tor towing pnr-
poses. While theyIwere thus engaged. by
some means fire was communicated to the
powder, and in an Instant he nsklding aud ats
contents, including over fifty persons, we're
blown to atoms This horrible Tragedy for a
time put check upon the plunderlng, which,
however, was soon recommenced. but with
somewhat more elrcumspection itch Wh1g

U. s. Army Hospital at York.

In looking through the late report of the Ma
ryland Branch of the U. S. Christian Commits
sion, we noticed an article on the s'York Hospi-
tai" which does that institution great injus-
tee. The Report says-''It (the Hospital occu-
pies the large and convenient building erected
for the use of Female Seminary, and appropri-
ated for several years to that purpose" Now
the fact is, that with the exception of one floor
10 the Odd Fellows Hall, the entire Hospital is
situated on the County Fair Grounds, lying con-
tiguous to the town, and the patients are accom-
modated in buildings erected for the purpose by
the Government. The Seminary is not and, as
far as we know, never has been used as a Hospi-
tai by the government.
Through the kindness of the Chaplain, Rev.
Jno. A. Gere D. D., we lately had the pleasure
Of passing through this Hospital. The Surgeon
in charge. Dr. S. J. W. Mintzer; appears TO be
most competent and energetic officer. The
Hospital has accommodations for 1000 patients.
It is little city within itself 1t has its SANTA
ry, police and military regulations. 1t has a
Printing Office, from which a neat and self-sup-
porting paper is issued weekly. 1t has its own
laundries, kitchens and bakeries. 1t has a fine
Library, week day School, and new Chapel
Cor religious services capable of seating over one
thousand persons, and furnished with an organ
uielodeon TO assist in the music. And all these
admirable arrangements for the good Of the pa
TENTS, are carried on entirely by the GONZALES
cent soldiers in the Hospital under the direction
Of the oficers, without costing the government
penny. n

Exchange of Prisoners.

Both Governments have lately been most ac-
lively engaged in the exchange of prisoners, and
We hore it may continue until not single Union
soldier is left anguishing in the prison dens of
the Sonth. The mortality among our returned
men is not SO great after they get back as for
merly. But none save He whoonumbers the very
hairs Of our heads, may ever tell the thousands
that have fallen under the lingering process Of
starvation in the South. Lieut.. Heffelfnger, of
the 18th Pa. Reserves, an old acquaintance, whom
we met at Annapolis on Tuesday last, arrived in
Goods Country" as the prisoners fondly call
the land where the old flag floats, on Sunday
evening last, after animprisonmento of ten months.
Did we not know Lieut. Fl. to be man of the
strictest integrity, his tales Of suffering would
seem too awful for belief We at home here cam
not realize these things, can we feel the swell
of patriotic emotion that comes up from the SOUL
and chokes the throat aud overhows the eyes,
when the almost despairing visage is once more
frightened up with a glimpse of ''the Old Flag.

The School Bill.

Through the kindness of friend at Annapolis,
we have been furnished with a copy of the Re-
port Of the State Superintendent of Public In
struction, together with Bill for establishing q
uniform system of public Instruction throughout
the State. We hope the Legislature will give
this subject that liberal and enlightened consid-
GRAFTON which its importance demands. So far
as we are able to judge, Mr.. Van Bokkelen's Bill,
is really what itpurpor,s to be, "a school sys-
tenn, harmonious, comprehensive and complete
in all its parts. We would be glad to have the
Report adopted entire, without any other legis-
lation than what may be necessary to carry out
its provisions. II designs not only TO place with
in the reach of every child in the State the means
for acquiring snch an education as he has the
capacity to receive, but compels parents and those
who have the care of children to avail themselves
of those means for their benefit. II looks upon
the great mass of the children the property OF
the State whom it is both her duty and her in
terest to educate. If it is important that the
material resources of the State be developed, that
her SOIL commerce and minerals be made to yield
is it tina her resources of mind be brought out,
that her intellect--upon which indeed every
thing depends be trained to the best advantage.
Maryland is rich in her mines, her fields, her
forests, her waters, but she richer in the un-
developed intellect of her children. Aud while
our Legislators are devising means for the deve-
opment of the former, let them not fail OF wise
legislation for the Development of the latter. 1t
will cost money, but it win be an investment
that will pay the State in the increased prosper
ity, intelligence and morality of her citizens,
throughout the years that are yet far in the flu
ture. Let the Legislature not grow narrow and
parsimonious when it deals with the immortal
mind. Luther, the great reformer, had the true
idea of this subject In 1924 he writes--8It is
grave and serious thing, affecting the interests
OF the Kingdom of Christ and OF all the world,
that We apply ourselves TO the work ofaiding and
insructing the Young. II SO much be expended
every year for weapons OF war; roads, dams and
countless other things Of the Sort for the safety
and prosperity of a city, why should not we ex-
pend as much for the benefit Of the poor ignorant
youths, to provide them with skillful Teachers?'
Two years later he writes to the Elector of Saxo-
ny-"Government as the natural guardian of
the young has right TO compel the people to sup
port schools What is necessary to the well be-
ing Of the State, should be supplied by those who
enjoy the privilege of such State, and nothing is
more necessary, than the training of those who
are to come after us and bear rule. y elsH aat

Serious Rail Road Accident. Five
Persons Killed, 80 wounded.

On Monday night two passenger trains
on the Camden and Amboy Rail Road ran
into each other at Bristol, smashing three
cars, killing FIVE soldiers who were passen.
gers on the train and wounding about thir-
ty others, some of them MORALLY. The &C.
cident is said to have occurred through the
neglect of one Of the conductors to display
a proper signal. Is it not high time that
this killing, crushing and manning of hu-
man beings shall cease on our Rail Roads
Public forbearance is wearing out underthe
frequency with which these slaughters are
taking place lately and sharp remedy is
demanded. While the Camden and Amboy
