On Tuesday Evening last, the Court
House was crowded to overfowing, to
witness series of tableaux, gotten up un.
der the auspices of the young Ladies and
Geptlemen of the Presbyterian Church.
The entertainment passed off with per
feet success and very great satisfaction tc
the audience. 1t consisted Of seventeen
representations and dialogues, presenting
historical and everyday scenes in an in
structiye and amusing light. Where ev
cry scene was good and every performel
did well it would be in bad taste to speaA
of any in particular. The satisfaction of
the audience was so clearly expressed a:

Daring Attempt to Rob the Millville
Bank.
MillvilIe, N. J., March l3, 1865.

Millville, n. j., March Ii, 1860.
Almost daring but unsuccessful attempt
was made last evening to rob the Bank at
this place. The affair took place about
eight o'clock, p NJ, and occasioned the
greatest excitement. One of the clerks
Of the institution called at the cashiers
house about that hour and informed him
that the walk on the outside of the bank
was covered with glass. This, however,
did not excite suspicion of the truth, it
being supposed that it might have been
done by boys, but in few minutes after
wards another gentleman stepped in with
the information that whilst sitting in the
Baptist Church (assfcw yards distant) he
heard sharp explosion, and upon seeing
the glass as be passed by he felt confident
that an attempt was being made upon the
vault Of the bank.
Mr.. Milford, the Cashier, together with
several other gentlemen, Immediately
stepped over to the bank, around which
some persons, had already collected. Upon
reaching the back door and opening it the
smell and smoke of powder was almost
sitting, but he pushed on in although
there was no light at hand He found
no one however. Others crowded in, but
the burglars had flown. Spread out upon
the tables, counter and desks, were found
very large and complete set of burglars
tools Of almost every description, crowbars
chisels, and an immense sledge hammer
weighing twenty-five pounds. On one
desk was spread quite collation., consis-
ting Of roast chicken, celery, salt, butter,
and whiskey. Two cans of powder, slow
matches and burglars lanterns were also
among the articles left.
The rascals had been in the bank on
Saturday night and all day Sunday, as
they had taken goods from the room a.
bove, and with them had converted ia
bic into bed. Their mode of procedure
was as follows-The outer back door lock
was picked, and having affected an en-
trance, their great trouble was to force
the two iron doors of the vault, which
were plated with the hardest STEEL. They
first tried the crow bar as a lever, but un-
successfully. They then bored through
to lock, and exploded it with powder
1t is supposed they made several attempts
at this before they succeeded, as the ex-
plosion was very loud but it eventually
did the work completely. The lock Of
the outer door was blown with great force
against the lower end of the vault Here
operations ceased, for the safe was yet to
be opened, and no time was left to force
it, the noise of the explosion having a.
reused the citizens. The rascals lost all
their implements, and did not get pen
ny for their pains. The attempt, howev-
er, was bold one, and very nearly sue
cess.

ton Of State officers, and members of Con
gress, and the Legislature took place to
day
The Republicans supported Fredericl
Smythe, for Governor, and the Democrat
Edward H. Harrington, both gentlemen
residents of Manchester.
The returns received at an early hour
this evening, indicate that Smythe's ma
jority will exceed 5000. Many town:
show considerable Union gains over the
vote Of last year, when Gilmore's majori
ty was about $500.

Ayre's Ague Cure.
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF


Intermittent Feuer, or Ferer and Aque.
Remittent Feuer, Chill Fever, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious Feuers, indeed
for the aohole class of diseases origina-
ting IN hillary derangcment, caused 6y
the Malaria o. naiasmattc countries.
Fever and Ague is not the only conse-
auence of the miasmetic poison. A great
variety of disorders arise from its irritation.
in malarious districts, among which are Neu-
ralgla, Rheumatism, Gout. Headache, Blind
ness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh Asthma,
Palpitation, Painful Affection of the Spine,
Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie, Para
lysis, and Derangement of the Stomach, all
of which, when originating in this cause put
on the intermittent type, or become periodi-
cal. This "Cure" expels the poison from
the blood, and thus cures them all alike. 1t
is not only the most effectual remedy ever
discovered for this class of complaints, but
it is the cheapest and moreover is perfectly
safe. No harm can arise from its use, and
the patient when cured is left as healthy as
if he had never had the disease. Can this
be said of any other cure for Chills and Fe-
yer? 1t is true of this, and its importance
to those afflicted with the complaint cannot
be over estimated. So sure is it 20 cure the
Fever and Ague, that it may be truthfully
said to be certain remedy. One Dealer
complains that it is not a good medicine to
sell, because one bottle cures whole neigh
berhood.
Prepared by ]. G. Ayre g. co., Lowell,
Mass, and sold by WIN. Hollinshead, Dreher
g. Brother, in Stroudsburg, and by dealers

the main feeder of Richmond.
The excitement continued all night
and increased to panic throughout Sun
day and down to Monday morning
When he left the excitement still pre-
vailed. 1t was understood that Sheridan
had succeeded in the destruction OF the
aqueduct, blowing it up with gunpowder,
and it would take at least six months to
repair the damage done by him.
During Sunday afternoon Picketts
Division passed Castle Thunder in great
haste, on the way to meet Sheridan
There is ferry near the Aqueduct, and II
was believed that Sheridan's purpose was
to cross the James, and strike the Dan
vile Railroad near the coal fields, where
there is an extensive bridge, destroy that
and thus complete the destruction OF the
communications of Richmond. and theI

abandonment of Richmond, have been il
progress for some time. The heavy ma
chinery for manufacturing iron has beer
removed, also the machinery of their per
cussion cap factory, and all the carpenter
in the town are at work filling large Gov
ernment orders for packing boxes.
The high water in the james had sub
sided so much that the boat which con
veys passengers from Richmond could no
pass above Rockets as she had been doin
previously. From this circumstance it
hoped that Sheridan will find less difficult
in crossing the streams in his line

Singular Decision under the Enrollmen,
Act

/
Washington, March 13. 1S65.-Gen
erai Fry has made singular decision un
der the new amendatory Enrolment act
There was long debate and contest in tn,
late Congress upon one point, that o
making the principal liable for the mis-
conduct of his substitute. Twice tht
House voted that this acceptance of {
substitute by the Government officers
should be conclusive upon the subject
The Government surgeons, it directed
must ascertain the fitness of the men
presented, and Government must take
the responsibility of its own examining
officers
AT last the House, to save the bill,
consented to make the principal response.
bic where it is proved that he knowingly
put in a substitute physically unable to
perform the duties Of a soldier. In other
words, the House consented to punish
fraud. General Fry, in his instructions
to his subordimates, SAYS:
''If a substitute, by reason of any all.
ment existing at the time of muster. and
since the passage of this act, shall be
found incompetent to perform the duties
of soldier, the principal will be held to
service as though he had furnished no
substitute. If a man furnishing sub
stitute shall in any way encourage the
said substitute in deserting he shall him
self be placed in the ranks for the period
for which he was liable to draft, dating
from the time of the desertion of the sub.
stitute."

fraud at the time of furnishing the SUBJ

Our Canada neighbors complain of too
full pockets-full of just what is curl
osity on this line-fve and ten cent pieces.
The Toronto Globe declares that the
"American silver nuisance has again
grown into proportions which render it
almost unbearable )" and that "by gen
eral consent, a discount Of four per cent
is allowed and charged on 25 and so cent
pieces but the smaller coins, five and
ten cents, are received at par" The
consequence is, that quarters and hall
dollars are rarely to be seen, while ira,
ders of all kinds are flooded with five
and ten cent pieces. The Globe also
complains that American coin has driven
out the Canadian and that Canadian
twenty cent pieces are as scarce as Brit
ish sovereigns, and that in fact the inaus
of American silver has disarranged to n
inconsiderable extent the whole Canadian
course of trade. Our nickel GEMS ere :
still worse eyesores to Canadians, and il
most of the towns and cities they are N
longer tolerated as currency. Speculator'
in currency imported them in consider
able quantities, and will have to returr
them or suffer loss. "Silver nuisance

have so long used only paper circulat
