M -
CAuour Mr. SticSman. Sberitl OF
Bedford county, arrived in this place
on Saturday last, with two men nnmed
J. Wilson and j NJ. Newman, whom
he, with others, rad arrested in that
county on the 20th for having robbed
the County National Bank on the
night Of the 18th instant Tie bonds
belongiDg to tho bank were found in
their possession. As soon as the par
ties arrived Wilsonwas recognized by
several individuals here as having
been playing the gentleman around
town for several days week before
the robbery was committed. The
hotel register at the Mansion House
shows that -. Wilson, Altona," and
Howard P Mayer, Huntingdon p
registered themselves ON the 9th Of
May. No one seems to recognize the
latter, but Newman is no doubt the
third of the gang, while Mayer is the
missing member of the firm who has
the rest of the money and is still at
large. He.is supposed TO be the man
who, in great haste, on the same day,
hired man at Bedford and paid him
sl2 TO take him thirty miles to see a
sick child. As these parties will soon
undergo trial for this crime, we
refrain from any further remarks, but
hope that they will get their just dues.

A Moving Palace.

The Michigan Southern Railroad has just
put on twenty thousand dollar Car, which IS
said to be paatial in its luxury. 1t is called
the City of Toledo" and was built in the
company's shops at Adrian, Michigan. The
car is iifty-six feet LONG and ten wide, placed
on six wheel trucks. The exterior finish is
elaborate and unique, being of corn tassel
tinoe, with carved panhels inlaid with gilt
work and bronze colored border and castings.
The interior of the coach is only suggestive
of comfort aud elegance. The passenger here
has, while travelling at the rate of thirty
miles an hour, all the conveniences and ele-
snnces of first class hotel, minus only the
edbles. The coach is divided into drawing
rooms most tdstefully and luxuriously fur
nishcd. Four large family parlors, each hav.
ing armed sofas for six, embrace one half OF
the coach. These compartments are beautl-
fully finished aud upholstered. The seats
are upholstered with curled hair covered with
a hutf-tinted silk serge. The panelled walls
are covered with the same material, orna-
mented' with border of blue moquet. The
hat, or bonnet racks are silver plated, and at
either end are ornamented by handsome
monogram. Each room is lighted by one
large and two smaller windows Of heavy
French plate glass. The curtains are of silk
serge. bordered with blue silk velvet. Ble-
gaut mirrors are in each room. The floors
are covered with costly carpets of handsome

fed from gas reservoirs placed beneath the
car, give brilliant light at night. The inte-
rior woodwork finish is of polished oak and
walnut, tastefully carved and inlaid with gilt.
The other half of the coach is divided into
six compartments, each seating four persons.
These are fitted up and finished in the same
style of completeness and elegance that char
acterizes the family parlors, and provided with
the same conveniehces A. either end of the
car is rotunda, connected with which are
retiring closets, and dressiug-rooms furnished
in keeping with the general appearance of the
coach. The ventilation and heating are am

A Man in a Peddler's Pack.

\ short slime ago, just at dark, a peddler
carrying large pack, appeared at the door
of wealthy farmer in the town of Green
Garden, iu this county, and requested the
privilege of remaining over night. The far
mer being away from home, he was informed
by the hired man that he could not stay
lie then requested the privilege of leaving
his pack until morning, as he was very tired
and could not carry it further that night
This was granted, and the pack deposited in
one corner of the sitting-room. During the

SUSPICIOUS about the contents. The hired

discovered that it contained a man. He
quietly stepped into an adjoining room, and
returning with revolver, motioued the fam
lily to stand aside, and at once proceeded to
fire three shots Into it. A piering shrek is
sued from it, and on ripping off the outside

revolver clinched in his hands, was found

How a Beer Seller was Sold.

There are few men in Cincinnati who
make living by selling cheap signs of
various kinds, to hang outside corner gro>
ceres. saloons, etc. Since it was recommen-
ded by the Board of Health that sign in
scrihed ''Small pox" should be suspended in
front of houses where that disease prevailed
one of the most enterprisiug of the cheap
sign dealers prepared quantity OF them to
be ready for expected demand. The other
morning he called with lis assortment at
lager beer saloon over the canal want any
signs ?" he enquired of the portly proprietor.
'.Yaw," said Hans, 81 wants a sign 'Sawdust
Vanted" "Here it is" said the dealer.
who was bit of wag. handing him one of
his smallpox signs, and receiving his pay de
parted.
The unsuspecting Teuton, supposing it all
right, and not being able to read English.
hung it outside of his door. People passing
on the walk. saw the sign. turned pale. and
hurried to the other side of the street. Reg
ular Customers came. caught sight of the omi~
nous inscription, with hand on the door
knob, and stole away. remarking that they
guessed they weren't very dry that morning,
any how. 4 very importune creditor, whom
nothing could daunt before, blanched at the
sign, and on going home he went stIaig ght to
bed.
In the meantime the saloon-keeper was
wondering at the absence of his customers.
The forenoon lunch was spread-soup, boiled
tripe, Bologna sausage, stewed liver and on
ions, sauerkraut and brown bread-but no
one to partake of it. Being of d social dis
position, this solitude was oppressive to him,
aside from being profitable.
At length one man did come in and call for
glass of beer. His face was deeply pitted.
He had had it. Il see by your sign out
there" said the man, with motion of his
head toward the front door, ''that you have
got it here" "Nein," replied Hans, supros,
ing that he alluded to sawdust wanted Il

wrath of that beer-jerker and lunch setter
was fearful to behold. Could he have fasten-

An Ex-Confederate in Cuba.

We copy the following from the New York
Times. Cen Jordan is native of Page
Gen. Jordan. formerly chief of Beauregard' S
staff, who is reported to have gone to Cuba to
take an important position IN the command of
of the rebel army is very thorough soldier,
and a man of scholarly requirements. He is
graduate of West Point, aud served for many
years in our old regular army, mainly on the
Pacific coast. He accepted his position on
Beaurcgard's staff at the opening of the war,
and was prominent in Beauregard's early op>
erations in Virginia. When Beauregard was
sent West he accompanied him, and subse>
quently accompanied him also to Charleston,
where he took the lead in the engineering
operations against the assaults of Gen Gilmore.
At the close of the war he came to this city,
from whence he soon went to Memphis to edit
newspaper, but subsequently he returned
to New York, where he wtote, in an octave
volume, the Life and Campaigns of Gen. N.
B. Forrest" and was also a contributor to a
number of literary periodicals. He was the
author of the scathing article on jeff.
Davis" which appearedin in Harper's Magazine
after the close of war, and his articles on mill
tary aud historial subjects were always clear
and valuable. If the Cuban revolutionists
have any chance of success, Gen. Jordan will
help them in achievingit.
