Of his most intimate friends. The boys

.omeiunknown parties entered the mill OF
Joseph Trench, Esq. at Silver City. and
took therefrom between one and two hun
bred pounds Of HmsIgam. The person

the mill. The thief having entered by
way Of the Bacon mill and came up under

GETTING READr.-At one o'clock. last
Saturday night. the heavens showed evil
dent signs Of the grea, coming fireworks,
which All. Doten has been telling about.
At the time we speak OF. the atmosphere
was 40 clear that the stars looked at least
four times their usual size, and showed an
uncommon lussre. Some OF the planets
seemed to shoot out rays Of light. which
resembled flashes Of fire. Saturn showed
her rings with great beauty.
HAVE You SEES THEN '-Have you
seen the new style pictures at Sutterley
Bros. They are called sun pearls, and
are entirely superior to any thing we have
ever seen in the way Of a life-like likeness.

has a great number Of splendid pictures,
from the ,malles, up to life size. Give
him a call. Remember the place. corner
OF b and Taylor streets, Virginia.

Union has again changed hands, or rather
changed back TO the old proprietors, Church

tha, the whole State cannot support ono
Copperhead sheet?
