ted to give, in his list of expenditures,
the 500 or $500 that were thrown away
a few wears since on the street running
past Shuck's shop and Mrs. Browns

that he might have had a hand in that
wise expenditure, or is influenced now
by partizan motives. How easy it ITO

about. That the cutters he speaks of
are filled with small stones, to be wash

true. The bottom of every gutter is
well paved with large stones, and the
smaller ones thrown ON to fill up the
crevices. A heavy rain, filling every
gutter, has fallen since some of these
were fixed, and at points where they
were we'll tried, and they answered the
purpose exactly-nOt even little stone

night, 9th inst, the public house of Mr..
Joseph Cessna, at the "FOOt of the

was entered and several hundred dol
lars in money taken therefrom. About
twenty dollars were taken from the
money drawer of Mr. Cessna's bar, and
the remainder from the clothes of per-
sons lodging at Mr.. Cessna's house.
The robbers appear to have gone about
their work quite deliberately. They
entered Mr.. Cessna's spring-hOuse, re-
galed themselves with the edibles kept
there, and pinned Confederate note

in despatching their meal. No clue as
to who they were has yet been discOv-

account of continued rains, and they
had scarcely twenty-four fair working

a general conscription of field hands
for dropping and covering throughout
the county, and the grains are germin-
ating in theground. Theadage of better
late than never, has full force this sea-
