We mentioned last week the case
against Williams. Browning and Burns, charged
with robbing B. F. Scholleld, at Monroe Switch
The case was not ended when we went TO press
The parties all testified under the statute Of last
winter. They allswore that they were innocent
of any robbery. In fact, it was doubtful whether
Schoficld ever had any u s. Bonds, as he swore
that one was for $500 and one for $500, when in
fact the Government never issued bonds Of thu
denominations. r ....t 49,. ......
The parties were all bound over to Court,

THE METEOR. H. F. Austin has
sent us piece of the meteoric stone that fell on
his lands some time ago. 1t is quite heavy, Of a
dark gray color and has some the appearance of
cinder, 1t has evidently been melted Mt one time
We are often asked what we think is the origin
of these stones. We have full account given by
Prof Evans of Marietta, of the stones that fell
May l, 1860, in GUERNSEY and Morgan counties.
The main body was three-eighths of mile in di-
ameter, was about forty mills from the earth. and
travelled at the rate of three miles per second
This tremendous velocity. when it struck the at
mosphcre caused u friction that at once reduced
it to white heat and the pieces that fell were
scales broken off from the main body by the heat.
The main body either passed out of our atmos-
phere. or was consumed by the heat Of friction
before 1t reached the earth. ....,
Whether these diminutive planets have regular
orbits around the sun, or the earth, is not settled.

WE gather the following particulars
from Philadelphia contemporary in regard to
the Riverside Institute, the advertisement of
which appears in our columns
This Institute promises to be one of the grand
est and noblest institutions of its kind ever or
ganized. In order that money may be speedily
raised for the maintenance of the Home, the
Washington Library Company has organized and
adopted plNn which " i'll meet with hearty ap-
proyal and earnest support from all. This Com
pany knowing from the past that TO raise fund
by appeals to the charitable public is slow and
uncertain work, oitentimes resulting IN tota
failure, have adopted their present method foi
accomplishing this much desired result Theil
plan is to issue stock at one dollar per share,
cNth share Of stock emitting the holder thereof to
one liney-cXccued STEEL plate engraving, which
at retail could not be purchased for this sum. In
addition to this, presents consisting Of several
thousand dollars in greenbacks, real estate, hor.
ses jewelry, silver ware, sewing machines, plan.
os, meUdeonS, and hundreds Of other valuable
articles amounting in tie aggregate to $300, 900,
will also be bestowed upon the stockholders
Every stockholder not onl, receives his engrHy-
iugs at the time Of purchase but will also receive
present at the distribution, there being no ex
cepdJns The Company are enabled to act thus
literally from the TACT, that making their purcha
scs of cngrlyingS, and of he-Tesents TO he slver
away, in su,h enormously large quantities, the
cost per single article is greatly reduced to what
would he the plce were the purchase OF the sam,
made at retail. Besides this all the presents
such as real estate, ETC., have been handed owe
to the Company by the original owners Mt thel
lowest market value. On this account are tht
Company enabled to offer such great inducements
to those who would interest themselves and ai
in alleviating the miserieS and distress of th
hundreds and thousands of poor and forsakel
orphans who are now daily seen in the lanes an
thoroughfares Of our large cities.
