ROBBERY OF a GOLD WATCH yesterday
morning boy in blue named Edmond Davis
appeared before Alderman PEBBLES to an
swer the charge of stealing gold watch and
chain valued at SIS from John Cook, a ne
gro. The testimony established that the
accused was in the habit of visiting Cooks
house on friendly terms. Last Thursday
Cook and he were in the chamber toget..er.
The former fell asleep, and when he woke
up his watch was gone, and the soldier, too,
had vanished. Cook got warrant out for
the arrest of the suspected party, and it be-
ing placed in the hands of that excellent
officer Kendall O'Dwyer, the fellow was
caught on Sunday evening. Mr.. O'Dwyer
took him back to camp and had him iden-
tilted as deserter, and then arrested him
for the alleged felony. Davis confessed to
the officer that he had stolen the watch
while intoxicated, but said that it had also
been stolen from him. The alderman sent
him on to Judge Burnhams court for in
dictmcnt, and committed him in default Of
bail. -..------.. -.-

PROFESSOR HERTZ'S XANTHINE REsToRA-
TIVE is considered 4 valuable preparation for the
hair, and its chief recommendation by those who
have used it is that 1t produces It's effects without
any Of those pernicious results upon the health
which often follow the use of hair restoratves.
Those who havetried 1t say that It brings back the
natural color, and at the same time acts as pow
erfl stimulating agent upon the scalp and roots of
the hair, improving It's health and uxuriance.
