doors, Northern pine lumber etc. They state
fully in their advertisement what they have and

say is the truth.

That there is system in these robberics and that
there is band engaged in them we have no
doubt; and as we have received several communi

guardians should detoct party in this foul bust

OurRAGE.-On Saturday evening lady while
walking in Luurens street was accosted by negro
who requested her to change two dollars She
refused to comply and walked on but was consd-
erablr alarmed when her arm wns jerked and her
reticuc forcibly taken away. Three negro men
ssswho wcre together were seen to run of, but on
account OF the latoness of the hour no pursuit was
madc and they escaped with their booty. Occur
rences of this description fortunately rare but
they should be prevented or the reputation Of our
city will be injured. The negroes must be made
to obey the laws and to cease all such dcpreda-
tions, tho streets will become unsafe ana fre-
querted only by pickpockets and thieves

y AIHE AMERICAN tARMER.-We have received from
Mes. HART, Sr., in King street, the March num-
Der of this excellent agricultural monthly The
American Farmer was established in 1873. It is
talr therefore to be presumed that with age hath
come wisdom: anu rom an examination Of the
number before us, we have been decidedly prepos-
sessed in its favor. Paper and typography very
neat The motto from VIRGIL is one that will be
deemed eminontly appropriate, and contains q
world OF meaning perhaps not even dreamed of by
VIRGIL: 0 tortunatos ,,irsiuna sua 81 bona no
7snt agricolas." Farmers, even now, in these evil
times, may secure fortunes, If they will take
the trouble to acquaint themselves thoroughly,
both in theory and practice, with the several ele-
ments Of wealth which prodigal nature has put at
their disposal. weI-edited magazine like the
American Farmer (pubiehed in Baltimore) will
greatly assist in acquiring such necessary knowl-
edge, and we can therefore recommend it to all our
planting, farming and horticultural friends.
