A Bold ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY. Yes
terday afternoon, about three o'clock,
the room Of Mr.. j. NJ. Jeffards, on the
corner Of Main and Washington, was
broken into by a party Of thieves, and
his two trunks broken open Mr.. J. came
along, and finding the door closed,
knocked and was answered by male
voice, when he said that unless they let
him in he would call the police. The
door was then opened, and as he entered
one Of the thieves encountered him with
one Of his own pistols. He, however,
grasped him and secured the weapon.
He found his coats and shirts in "de-
moralized' condition. Here Mr.. JEFF
fards made an attempt to arrest the
thieves, but in the fight they managed TO
get away, not, however, until he had fired
several shots after them. In the scuffle
he called for assistance, but no one came,
and thereby gave the scoundrels chance
to escape

A Word TO CoSvALEscESTs. -Espe-
cial care should be given to the diet, take
light food and but little at time. Great
care should be taken not TO take any
thing indigestable into the stomach.
Many persons when recovering from
fevers have craving appetites, and not
unfrequently, through the over attentions
Of the nurse, mix together in the stomach
the most incongruous articles of food I;
others, again, recovering from disease,
have no appetite at all, and need some
gentle tonic and stimulant to assist the
internal organs Of the body to perform
their regular functions. To such we
say, procure RobdckS Stomach Bitters,
commence with small quantity in sugar
and water, and as the strength returns,
increase the dose, and continue them
until all symptoms of debility have dis
appeared. ml0-lw
