Heavy Robbery 1.-Two Thousand Dol

Nearly two weeks ago robbery, which was
committed at the residence of Jacob and John
Waltz, near Cavetown, was made public on
Saturday week by the arrest of the supposed
guilty parties. 1t appeals that during the war
these gentlemen had in their possession large
smouat Of Specie, amounting to about two
thousand dollars, which they buried in the cell
lar of thsr building, where it was permitted TO
remain until the preparation Of the robbery.
The Messrs. Waltz had in their employ col
ored man named VIM Sanders to whom they
communicated the fact of the money being bu-
ried, aud he in turn disclosed the intelligence
to white man named George Williams, hail
ing from Pennsylvania, who had been working
at blacksmithing in the Cavctown district, and
who has been arrested and is now held for COM
uniting the crime Williams had been sport
ing around our town for a week past, display
ing large amount Of specie, layishingly be-
slowing it upon lewd females, portion OF
which has been given up by these parties, and
recognized as the money of the Messrs Waits.
The negro Sanders has turned States evidence,
and fully duplicates Williams with the robbery.
The former has been admitted to bail, and the
latter has been committed to Jail for court

Cuban Insurgent Advices---Extent
of Emigration to the Island--A1d
from the United States, Etc.

WAsHrNeToN, July 4.-Dispatches have
been received by lady living near this city,
a near relative of the commander of the Cuban
forces, giving accounts of recent insurgent sue
cesses, and reports of the large reinforcement
of Quesada, who has ordered an active Often
sive movement by the entire army. It's claim
ed that Quesada is now master of the north
western portion of the island. The policy of
the new Captain-General is 10 favor OF clemen-
CIV. and this it is stated, causes much dissatis-
faction with the volunteers, with frequent de-
sertions.
The emigration to the island, as il is called
is reported to be increasing, and now amounts
to over 1000 men, who have served in the late
war in this country and are acting in earnest
with the Cubans in their efforts to secure their
independence These dispatches assert that
the Cuban forces are well organized and armed
with the most approved arms, large proper

which the Spaniards lost over three hundred
men, was captured by Jordan's command.

The Cubans have regaiued possession of the
Cinco Villas district, while Gen. Jordan has
driven the Spaniards from Los Tunas and the
Puerto del Padre country. The loss of the
Spanish forces is reported to have been very
large, and the disafection in the army
aud the contests between the volunteers
and regulars have resulted in the almost COM

Summer Care of Cows.

Cows require shade in summer, and if at
liberty will travel great distance to obtain it.
1t is reasonable to suppose that they are the
best Judges of their wants, and if deprived of
this comfort and compelled to stand or lie all
day without any screen from the hot sun, a
decline in flesh, loss of vital energy, and
marked decrease in the flow of milk must fol-
low. The grazing times for cattle IL hot wea-
Their are at nightfall, and early in the morning
when the grass is fresh with dew; and they
should by no means be confined in the yard
during the night time, and retained there no
longer than is necessary at milking time. A
good supply of fresh pure water is as essential
as plenty Of feed to keep up the yield Of milk,
and a very great error is entertained by some
who suppose that if COWS get their I'll once
day it is all they require. II a farmer is CON-
PEELED to water his stock at the well in dry
time, large trough should be furnished, and
kept filled so that they can drink when they
choose. The water is all the better for stand
ing short time exposed to the atmosphere
Farmers sometimes get the idea that cattle DO
not want water but once day, for the reason
that they will come to the well only that often
to Get il. When drink first fails them in the
pasture, cattle will visit the well two or three
times day for short time, but soon learn
that water is furnished only at certain times,
and then they remain away, however thirsty
they may become until the hour arrives which
has been set as a time to supply them.

A Rich Case in Stafford.

We hear that one Of the richest and most
ludcrous scenes (says the Fredericksburg Her.
add that ever occurred in a grand jury room
took place in Stafford County on Monday week.
1t illustrates the beautiful fitness of the new
officials who have been foisted upon Virginia
communities. 1t appears that Mr.. Lucas, Of
the county, had showed a black woman from
his own domicile, and for this high handed act,
Mr.. Commonwealth'sA Attorney Kingston sought
to procure an indictment. This may have been
and probably was all right enough But not
content to rest the case with the grand jury,
who had the witnesses before them, Kingston
went into the jury room and there attempted
to procure and make out an Indictment
This was rather too much for the grand jury
to stomach, and one of them, an honest-hearted
and whole souled Irishman, arose and said that
he was born in Ireland-had lived in Michi
gan, had served on grand juries, but never be-
fore had Commonwealth Attorney appeared
in their room, as far as he had heard, in any
Court, for the purpose Of urging aud forcing
an indictment We hear that he closed his
earnest eloquent speech, by moving that the
grand jury should kick Kingston out Another
juryman boldly seconded the motion, whilst a
third approached Kingston and mildly suggest
CO that under the circumstances, be kingston
had better retire. And Kingston evacuated
in good order
We believe the jury indicted Lucas, but they
were not quite prepared for the dictation of the
Commonwealth Attorney, despite the fact that
he is the creature of bayonet appointment and
authority.
