HreHwAY RoDDERY. One of the most
daring highway robberies ever attempted
In this city was perpetrated last Friday
evening. 1t appears that Mr.. McGinnis,of
Granville, had sold a horse ON that day.,
and towards night started home with q
portion of the proceeds in his pocket. a
couple ofruffians becoming aware of this
fact, followed him, and when near the,
railway crossing Mr.. McGinnis was knocked
down with b bludgeon, and robbed Of $103,

was unable TO cry for help, and the reb-
bers escaped with their booty. There has
been two arrests made, but as the evidence
was not sufficient for their commitment
they have been discharged, II is TO be
hoped that the guilty parties will not ess
cape the punishment due to, their crime.
We are happy to learn that McGinnis is
rapidly recovering from this brutal4assault.

Strrchnina IN Rner.

That the beer drinkers of England have
taken alarm at the prospect of change In
the intrinsic value of their favorite bever-
ape, is rendered clear by the following par
aSraph. which appeared in the last number
OF the London Lancet;
The startling announcement has recent
ly been made that several Of the large
brewers are experimenting on the proper
ties of strychnine, with q view Of testing
how far it is safe to use it in bitter ales as
a substitute for hops. We earnestly hope
that nothing so dangerous and scandalous
is contemplated as the introduction into
so valuable and wholesome a beverage as
ale of such deadly poison as strychnine.
This is not the first time that the report
has been circulated that strychnine is EN-.
ployed to impart tho quality of bitterness
to pale ale. Some six or seven years since
similar report was promulgated and
spread far and wide through the columns
Of the press. At that time the subject was
deemed of suficientimportance to demand
searching inquiry on our part, the result
of the special inquiries and Investigations
then made being to demonstrate that there
was not at that time the slightest founda-
ton for the report in question. 19ig q. Z
Now that the statement that strychnine
is about to be employed in the manufacture
of bitter beer has again obtained currency,
it is once more imperative that steps should
be taken with view to ascertain whether
the announcement rests on any sufficient
foundation. Hitherto it has been con-
stantly alleged that our pale and bitter
ales are the purest products which It is
possible to obtain from malt and hops and
that these, of the finest quality obtaipable,
together with pure spring water, constitute
their only ingredients.
II is to firm belief in the truth of this
statement, on thepart, in the first instance,
of the medical profession, and subsequent.
ly of the public, that the extraordinary
popularity Of paleale is to. be attributed
So great has been thatpopularity that palt
ale. may be said to have become the nation
al beverage. Now only let THIS faith OF
the part Of the profession and the pubic
be broken, and there will speedily be al
end to the present enormous -eonsumptlol
of that description Of malt beverage. Z
Strychnine is not only one Of the mos
deadly and subtle Of poisons, but 1t ais
possesses the property of becoming, evel
when administered in minute doses, store'
up in the system-in word, 1t is 'cumula
tive 40 that after time, however snlal
the doses originally given, the effects
sometimes poisonous, OF large doses ma ma
be produced. The brewers we trust
are but ibeled in this case; but ifyi
be not so, let them beware how they tam

inexhaustible mine of antiquitien. Among
the rslics already found are nineteen cop

the silver coins is piece whose history be-

dependence, are worthy of the organization on
whose banners they are to be written in the
coming contest Its past record cannot be
blotted out or forgotten. If there had been no
Republican party slavery would to day cast its
baleful shadow over the Republic. If there
had been no Republican party free press and
free speech would be as unknown, from the Po-
tomac to the Rio Grande, as ten years ago. If
the Republican party could have been stricken
from existence when the banner of rebellion
was unfurled, and when the response of mo
coercion was heard at the North, we would
have had no nation to-day. But for the Re-
publican party daring to risk the odium of tax
and draft laws our flag could not have been kept
flying in the field till the long hoped-for victory
came. Without Republican party the Civil
Rights BILL the guaranty of equality under the
law to the humble and the defencsless, as well
as to the strong, would not be to-day upon our

following the example of the founders of the

the Revolution to preside over the land his tri-
umphs had saved from its enemies, cannot

Poetry.
Our Farmers.

Their homes their castles-their hearthstones
throne;
They rule without sceptre the kingdom they own;
The stalks and the vine and the uitbearing tree,
Are subjects that bend not TO tyrant the knee.
But bend with the weight of the harvest and
field
Ever loyal and faithful harvest to yield.
No planning and plotting among them is known,
No traitor the sovereign would strike from his
throne.
He stands midst his acres of grass, wheat and
maize,
Like Crusoe, ''the monarch of all he surveys; -
His banks are the earth banks, and stand on his
farm;
The banks that safe when the panics alarm.
The stock is the cattle--not fancy in breed;
The shares are the plough h-shares that score for
the seed. tFT
Not quoted on Change in the brokers' array,
Their banks are not those which the widows con-
dennis
No officers pilfer deposits from them;
If small the potatoes that in them found,
I ct none are so small as we find out of ground.
The farmer with appetite ever can eat
The bread on his table ''as good as the wheat :"
And loving most dearly his wife, he may utter.
"My bread and my wife I'll not have any bat
her!" -
There's many hearth where the embers are
glowing;
There's many n heart with joys overfowing;
The hearths and the hearts from the worlds rude
alarms
Are safe in the homes that are reared on our
farms

Horrible Crime in Orange County.

A correspondent of the Richmond Wig
writing from Orange Court House, gives the
follwing account of horrible affair in that
county:
Reuben ID. Herndon, carpenter and sort
Of Baptist preacher, who lives not far from
Verdiersville. in the lower part of this county,
was brought here last night and lodged in jail.
It is charged that he seduced and murdered
Miss Lumsden, who lived in his house and dis
appeared about the oath of April A week or
two ago Hernaon published card in the Ma
tiue Vuyinian, alluding to the reports in circu-
lation about Miss Lumsden's disappearance,
and threatening his defamers with the law
Since then Miss L. S body has been discovered
under log pile in the woods, not far from
Herndon's house. A dog made the discovery.
1t is said that note proposing an elopement
was found upon her person. The note had no
signature, but it is stated that Herndon con-
fesses to have written it. The affair causes, of
course, much excitement. Herndon's charac-
ter has been that Of "a sorry fellow but he
was considered to be much too timid to perpe-
trate so horrid crime.

Moral Conviction. {"

The beaten prosecutors of the impeachment,
Sumner and others, console themselves with
the spiteful assumption that though the Presi-
dent has escaped verdict of guilty, the brand
of moral conviction is upon him, since large
majority of his tricrs have pronounced him
guilty. The important question of Mr.. johnson
is not what a prejudiced or corrupt Senate
think of his conduct but what the people think.
In this aspect of the matter, the suggestion of
a moral conviction loses its force. Five of the
States now represented by Radical Senators,
who voted guilty, have in their latest elections
declared against the Radical party, and would,
if they were properly represented, have voted
the other way. This would have made the
vote stand 29 for acquittal to 25 for conviction.
Two other Democratic States cast divided
vote that should have voted solid for acquittal
This would make 81 for acquittal to 90 for con-
viction. If to these were added the 20 Senators
from the South who should be there, and who
if they truly represented the South would have
voted for acquittal, the vote would be 81
for acquittal to % for conviction In this fair
and just view of the matter, the brand Of moral
conviction is transferred from the brow of the
President to those Of the Radical Senators.
