A Bold Robbery.

The Portsmouth Chronicle tells the following
story which should put ladies who are travelling
alone, on their guard against "well-dressed gen.
tlemanly looking men,:
A lady, coming from Boston to this city In
the cars, few days ago, was robbed under the
following singular circumstances. She gave up
one half Of the seat she was occupying TO
well-dressed genttemanly looking man, but who
appeared very uneasy and nervous After rid
ing q short distance, she grew suddenly quite
sick, and was obliged to rest her head against
the side Of the car. At Salem the man LETT the
train. The lady, also, was obliged to get out 70
breathe the pure air, when, In feeling for her
purse, she found II was gone, together with a
bunch Of keys. No doubt exists in her mind
but that the stranger stole them; and II 30, 1t
was certainly very bold performance, for
which he should hammer stone for season.

THE FAMILY NEWsPAPER.--Dr.
Franklin remarks that a man as often
gets two dollars for the one he spends
in forming his mind, as he does for
a dollar he lays out in any other way.
A man eats a pound Of sugar and it
is gone, and the pleasure he has en-
loved is ended, but the information
he gets from a newspaper is treasured
up to be enjoyed anew, and to be
used whenever inclination or occa-
sion calls for it. A newspaper lsnot
the wisdom of one man or OF two
men it is the wisdom of the age,
and of past ages, too. y family
without a newspaper is always a
wear behind the times in general in
formation; besides they can never
think much nor find much to talk
about. And then there are the little
ones growing up without any taste
for reading. Who, then, would be
without a newspaper-aHd who
would read one regularly without
paying for it

THINGS IN GEORGIA.--An Angus
ia letter says that enterprise is as
dead in Georgia as if the country
were a desert. There is sickly
trade in the necessarits Of life, III
which purchasers buy by the ounce
or pound, and sellers require to see
the greenbacks before they adjust
their scales and grasp their scoop.
Values, as the word is understood IN
communities at peace, are about as
nominal as they would have been to
Robinson Crusoe and his freedman
Friday. There are no commercial
calculations, because there is ne
commerce. The happy few who
have little money hold on to it Ike
death, and needless OF all the tempt
ing offers of three, four, five and even
six per cent a moHth, with all sort,
of cOlIaterals, prefer to SIT and WatoI
the hole in the wall where the stock
ing is deposited, in the belief that
the bird in the hand is worth tho
whole teathercd creation in tha
bush.

there is not a county in the State
which we will not be compelled to

not less than 10000 persons that will
have to be fed by public charity until
the crop is matured, and a larger
number will require partial relief.
The great cry is for bread. Any
contributions for our suffering peO-
pie will be duly appreciated and
properly distrihuted.' The relief
commission voted to send $4,000
worth of corn for distribution in Ala
