ANOTHER OUTRAGE IN THE WESTERN PART OF
TIE CrrY.-On Saturday night, about o'clock,
,ahe favorite servant Of leading citizen,
a highly respectable colored woman, was
knocked down. at the corner Of Smith and
Warren streets, and robbed of all the money
in her possession. From the description she
gave. the villain was light mulatto-posslbly
a white man. But whether white or black, the
outrage illustrates the necessity for much
more rigid and effective patrol Of the western
psrt of the city than is provided for at present.
The complaint is universal by the residents OF
that locality that they frequently walk several
.sauares without meeting policeman, and life
and property are thus measurably insecure.
The inside Of our homes and the outside OF
,our persons certainly require as much consld-
.eration as our streets and sidewalks, and we
hope that at an early day the Council will see
to it that there is sufficient force added to
The police in the western part OF the city to re-
move the we'll grounded fears Of midnight rob-
bery which now prevail.

ROBBERY AT THE C1rADEL-THE SAFE AT
GENERAL CL1Tz' HEADQUARTERS BROKEN OPEN
AND PLUNDERED.-On Saturday night the safe
at General Clitz headquarters, in the Citadel,
was broken into and robbed of s975 in green
backs and sundry notes Of some value. From
the examination it appears that the safe was
taken from the Office into the area and there
broken open by repeated blows with cannon
ball. Fortunately the amount in the safe was
quite small, and the thieves did not secure
much plunder. But the ill-gotten booty will
hardly prove their gain, as the United States
detectiyes are on their track, and one soldier
has already been arrested. The safe stood in
the main room, and could be easily carried of
BY two strong men; but it is somewhat OF
mystery how it could be broken open without
attracting the notice of the sentinel at the
salIyport or entrance gate. A rigid investiga-
tion has been instituted, and the guilty parties
will be soon brought to the bar of military JUS
tice-which is generally short and sweet.

Distressing Accident.

A most distressing accident occurred

the little daughter of Maj Myers. decd,
by her little brother The older members
of Mr.. Jacob Lantz's family, with whom
the children were living, had taken out
from places of concealment number of
old army guns preparatory to go out hunt

about the house, when the little boy in
his childish play and houghtlessness.

sister to look. that he was going to shoot
her, and at the same time he pulled the
trigger and the gun went off, the ball pas

killed her almost instantly. The gun was
thought not to have been loaded, and had
been left laying carelessly about

Consumption Durable by DR.. Schenck-
Medicine.

10 CURE CONSUMPTION, the system mus
'eprepared so that the lungs will heal. To act
nplish this, the liver and stomach must first be
,eansed and an appetite created for good whole
,ine food, which, by these medicines will be di-
,ested properly, and good healthy blood made !;
thus building up the constitution. SCHENCK'S
MANDRAKE PILLS cleanse the stomach of all
bilious or mucous accumulations, and by using
the Sea Weed Tonic in connection, the appetite is
restored.
SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP is nutri-
cious as well medicinal, and by using the three
remedies, all impurities are expelled from the sys-
TEN, and good, wholesome blood made, which will
repel all disease. Ipatients will take these medi
cines according to directions, Consumption very
frequently in its last stage yields readily to their
action. Take the pills frequently, to cleanse the
liver and stomach. 1t does not follow that because
the bowels are not costive they are not required,
for sometimes in darrhea they are nece sary.
The stomach must be kept healthy, and an APP
petite created to allow the Pumonic Syrup to act
on the respiratory organs properly and alay any
irritation. Then ~ that is required to perform

Thieying.


Hitherto our community has been re-
markably exempt from the operations of
thieves If any stealing was done at all, it
was confined to things of little value. But
recently, however. some of our citizens
have been relieved of valuable articles,
among which we may name the following /:
A few nights ago Mr. William Wright,
living on the Turnpike near Maurrertoan,
lost large copper kettle from his yard
which. he thinks, was carried of in a
wagon.
On Friday night last, we understand
Mr. George Shaver. living in the same
neighborbood, had two hind quarters of
beef stolen from his butcher shop which
he intended to bring to cur market Satur-
day morning.
We understand that Mr.. D. Hoshour
has had a considerable quantity of lum-
Der stolen from the lot recently purch ased
by him near the NJ E. Church, and up
on which he is building new house.
The above named tlefts, and others
that might be mentioned. are sufIiucient
evidence Of the presence of daring set of
thieves in our midst, and 1t becomes those
who have property laying about loose, or
garden Vegetables, or lots of corn or any
thing of the sort, to look after with a
sharp stick, Or shot gun, or musket. or
other good weapon. These villains we
are told. generally commit their deprcda-
tons after midnight. If these wholesale
robberies are not soon stopped, it will be-
come necessary to organize force for the
mutual protection of property.

Aufci lIS1HE
There is, perhaps, no where to be
fonnd in all the business pursuits Of life,
one attended with more difficulty to please
than that of country newspaper publish
eS~AA neat calculation. by some of the
most expert of the profession, has shown
that the subscription to a country paper
will not more than defray the incidental
expense of an office. and that ifthe publish
er expects to receive any remuneration
for his services he must look elsewhere
than to his subscription book for it; con-
sequently he has become solicitous about
advertising the business and trade of 9TH
ers. Of course the advertiser does not
see only the benefit 10 the publisher. but of
it as a medium TO extend his own
trade; and the universal experience Of the
world is that no investment pays so well
as that made iudiciously, by the business
man, in printers ink and. indeed many
of the most successful business men have
declared 1t the hi ghway to wealth" It is
not only beneficial TO the publisher and ad
vertiser, but Of great advantage to the
reading Ypblic; for as a rule bargains and
superior advantages are generally pub
lished, and the system Of advertising has
done more to break down monopoly in
trade than all the other Influences coa'hin-
ed and to the stranger in strange p.-yes,
they serve as sign boards 20 direct the par
ties to places of business that It would
cost double the price Of subscription IL
finding, by being subjected to delays and
Inconvenience Yet notwithstanding all
these mutual advantages, We are frequent
ly reprimanded by some Of our patrons,
who have perhaps never given the mat
ter serious thought, for putting adver-
tisements ID our paper at al. Why, our
dear friends, if We were compelled to issue
our paper in solid reading matter every
week. we would not be able to 90 it for
double the amount you are now paying;
for we assure you that journeymen prin
tiers and devils wont work for nothing,
and we would not be able to do that
amount of work ourselves. Have you ev
er made an estimate of the amount of
reading matter you get in the course of
one year for two dollars and fifty cents.-
1t will certainly astonish you. And note'
too, if in the year you have not saved in
some way, by your facilities for bargain
ing, gained y our advertising columns,
ten times more than the price of your sub
scription. And advertisers too have their
complaint that we charge them Giving
price" We wish they could hear the COM
plants lodged against us, and then ask
themselves whether we receive sufficient
compensation for our vexation of spirit.
But especially have we reason to complain
of those Rail Road Corporations who adj
vertise with us, and pay US in few COM
plimentaries, as they are termed, but
which in reality are doubly bought, and
if we happen to avail ourselves little
frequently of their benefit, we perhaps are
thought to be receiving too much and
some well paid agent will modesly suggest
the fact. Now, we do hope that we shall
not be restricted and censured at the
same time. and will be allowed to live as
we would have others live.
