Gigantic RoBbery---sI0O,OO0 stolen i'm
Rrond DAYLIGHT,

NEW YokK, Oct. 28.-An extensive
robbery took place this morning in Ce-
dar street, closely resembling various
others which have occurred lately, and
in which the perpetrators, by the ut
most daring, have escaped scot free,
probably, never to be heard of again.
1t appears that C. w. Woolsey went
this morning to the Safe Deposit Com
pany's Office, in Broadway, and took
out tin box belonging to himself, and
containing $50, 600 in five twenty bonds,
$4,000 in railroad stock, and 81, 900 to
$4,000 in currency. He took it in his
hand, and walked with it down Cedar
street, to No. II, where he entered Ed
mund Coflin's Real Estate office, and
placing his box on desK, with his hat
and umbrella upon the box. He turned
around to speak with clerk, when
whiz! he heard a noise behind, turned
round and saw young man with the
tin box in his hand making for the door.
The cry of 'Stop thief" was immedi-
ately raised, but the thief had better
legs than any body else, for he manag-
ed to make good his escape with the
box, and poor Mr.. Woolsey, who five
minutes before was a rich man, stood
ruined. A good enough view of the
daring thief was got to furnish des-
cription of his appearance, and the de-
tectives have been entrusted, with John
Young at their head, with the duty of
catching the thief and recovering the

CURIOUS CALCULATION.-W When the
public debt Of the United States caused
by the rebellion was at its highest
point it amounted to nearly one dollar
a minute for the time that has elapsed
since the creation of the world. Ac-
cording to generally accepted chrome
logy it was 4,O0l years from the crea-
ton to the birth Of Christ that makes
this the year of the world 5,872. There
are 525, 500 minutesinayear of 3G5 days;
the whole number Of minutes, then,
since the beginning is 3,O39, ,0l9, 200
in round numbers, three thousand
millions, which is about the number
of dollars of our debt at its highest
figure. Quite fiattering to our national
vanity, of course.

JEFF DAVIS NOT TO BE TRIED
The New York S,n says: "The next
term of the United States Circuit Court
in Richmond opens on the fourth Mon
day of November. There, If any
where, Jefferson Davis will be tried.
There he is indicted, and has been for
long time past indicted for treason
against the United States. But JEFF
Davis win not be tried. There is not
enough in the case to pay for trying it.
No capital would be farce in which
the actors would necessarily render
themselves ridiculous.

GERMAN REFORMED SYNOD.-This
body which has been in session in our
town, adjourned yesterday, the 29th
inst. There were one hundred and
seventy delegates present. On Mon
day last, Rev. Dr. +. V. Gerhart was
inaugurated Professor of Didactic and
Practical Theology, in the Theological
Seminary, Merccrsburg, in place Of
Rev. DIR. Harbaugh, decd. The most
exciting affair of the session was the
case of ltev. DR.. Bomberger. This gen
tleman published, in February last,
among other things, the following:
"Those unwilling to vote for Dr..
Gerhart were not permitted to nomi-
nate their candidate" for theological
professor.
ssThe refusal to allow those desiring
to have their candidate was a most eX-
traordinary proceeding, unknown ev-
en- among secular politicians, and
without a precedent in the Church"
Eve charged the Synod under whose
sole and entire control the Theologi-
cal Seminary IS, with being the 'litur-
gical wing, and as becoming church
/ ly as to cease to be Reformed
This language the Synod almost
unanimously resolved should be re-
tracted by Dr. Bomberger, under pen
atty of denial to him of a seat in the
Body. On Saturday last, DR.. Bomber
ger filed the following paper, which
was received by the Synod As honora-
BILE and satisfactory:
II retract the publication of the
words or language which are deemed
Objectionable by this Synod, and regret
that they should have become the Oc-
casiOn of offence. ."-IIagerSto N0H,

SHORT RULE FOR MEASURING
GRAIN.-An exchange says: 1t is con
venient to farmers and croppers to
have an easy and correct rule by which
to measure corn in cribs. Here is one
having leveIed the corn in the crib,
measure the length, breadth, and
depth, and multiply them together,
and deduct from the product 0nc-fifth;
and you have the number of bushels in
the ear-for ahelIed corn take 0ne-half
Of this, To be strictly correct, add half
bushel for every one hundred. Farm
ers who are fond of cyphering can test
the correctness of this rule by taking
LIS solid inches for foot, and 2,l59
inches in a bushel, and see that the lat
ter is nearly one-ffth larger than the
former

GORGEOUS SUNSETS How few there
are who really enjoy the gorgeous sun
sets of the autumn. This is the season
when they are seen in perfection, and
the sight, to those who are fortunate
enough to have west window, with an
unobstructed view, is one that fills the
mind with the most pleasing emotions.
No painter can rival the magnificent
tints Of gold and purple in the clouds,
as the sun gradually sinks to rest be-
hind them. Who can look upon such q
scene and remain unmoved? ? And yet
we are often too unmindful of all that
the Creator has done to render the
world agreeable and pleasant. The
sight of the beautiful autumn sunsets
ought to raise the soul out OF the slough
of grinding commerce to the contem-
plation Of scenes that money cannot
purchase. What pity it is that 50
many men endowed with eyes, can see
nothing above them! nothing good,
massive, glorious, soul-purifying or in
spring.

ENCOURAGE THE YoUNG.-If a
young man deserves praise be sure you
give it to him, else you not only run
a chance ofdriving him from the right
road by want Of encouragement, but de-
priye yourself Of the happiest privilege
YOU Will ever have or scWarding his Ia
Dor. For it is only the young who can
receiycmuch reward from mems praise;
the old, when they are great, get too
far beyond and above what you may
think Of them. You may urge them
with sympathy, and surround them
with acclamation, but they will doubt
your pleasure and despise your praise.
You might have cheered them in their
race through the asphodel meadows Of
their youth. You might have brought
the proud bright scarlet to their faces
if you had cried but once, "Well
done!" as they dashed up the first goal
of their early ambition. But now their
pleasure is memory, ambition is i'll
heaven. They can be kind to you, and
you can never more be kind to them.
