Carolina Outlaws into Marion Coun-

lFROA OUR OWN CORRESPONU6NTl
MARION, June 16.
The boldest robbery, of even such times as
we now live in, was committed in this county,
(and only about eight and half miles from the
village,) on Tuesday night, l4th.
The store of Captain W. s. Ellerbe and Mr..
Samuel Watson was robbed In manner which
almost causes admiration from the peculiar
boldness exhibited by the thieves. Captain
Thos E. Stanley had charge Of the store, and
was, as usual, attending to his business, when
at about P. n. he was seized before any pos
sible resistance could be made, lorced to give
the robbers the keys to the safe, and, with his
wife and his cook, locked in the counting
room of the store. The robbers fastened the
windows securely, and posting guards, they
commenced plundering. As customer would
come he would be seized, his life threatened
in case of outcry, and marched into this monde
script Jail. Eighteen persons, including Mr.
Watson, Zone of the owners of the store,)
were finally thus immured
Mrs. Stanley's infant, in the dwelling house
adjoining, commenced to cry. and in obe-
dience to her earnest entreaties, Captain S.
requested the robben to let him 60 after his
little child, and also that of his cook in her
house. The robbers humanely granted this
request, guarding the captain to the houses
and back to his place of Imprisonment. When
theyHere ready to leave they handed the
prisoners lighted candle, and after warning
them they would be shot in case they attempt
ed to come out before day, they went of, TAX
ing the horse OF Mr.. Watson to assist them in
taking OF their booty. They made directly for
the North Carolina line. At Mr.. John II.
Moody's they stopped, aud took two horses,
and at Mr.. w. J. Pages they took two more.
The loss of Messrs. Ellerbe & Watson Is moi
definitely known, as the goods were nearly al
taken from the shelves and strewn on the
floor-the robbers only taking of what suited
| them, this being for the most part ready-made

@-WANT OF VITALTTY.-SOM ME-
TINES there is lack Of vitality in large and ap-
parently well.dereloped frames. Herculean sim
ews and muscles are not always indicative OF
stamina and constitutional vigor In their posses.
sor. Health depends more upon the condition OF
the stomach, the liver and the bowels, than upon
the breadth OF the shoulders, or the size OF loose
levers and pulieys of the system In which strength
is supposed to reside. All this grand animal ma
chinery Is OF itSe no protective against sickness
and decay. Easy and perfect digestion, regular
and healthy secreti0ns, uncontaminated blood,
and regular discharge OF the waste matter Of
the body through the intestlnes the kidneys and
the pores are the most potent safeguards against
disease, the best guarantees OF longevity. To pro-
mote these objects Is the great end and purpose
or HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BlTTERS. The In.
gradients of which the Great Tonic and Altera-
tive Is composed are taken solely from the vege-
table kingdom, and their medicinal virtues are
not counterbalanced by the acid and poisonous
elements which exist, more or less, In all the
powerful mineral drugs. Sufferers from lndiges-
ton, bllIousness, intermittent fevers nervous de-
bility or constipation, not only find immediate re-
lief from the use Of this agreeable stimulant and
invlgorapt, but become conscious. rs time wears
on OF an increase OF constitutional elasticity and
vital force. Labor and exposure no longer pro-
duce the same effect upon them as heretofore,
and they feel as If they had acquired new hold
on life, q new reserve Of physical and mental en-
ergy. This has been the experience Of thousands
Of both sexes, and every day adds to the mass Of
con6rmatory testimony. At this season OF the
year, when the temperature and state OF the at
mosphere exercise peculiarly depressing ln1iu-
ence over the minds aud bodies OF invalds,
HOSTETTER'S BITTERS is the only tonic upon
which the debilitated can rely for swift and per.
manent restoration. jun17-D&C6

HARPER's PUBLISHING HOUSE. - a
few days since we presented a sketch Of
the great publishing house Of the Har-
pers, and it is one in which readers Of
newspapers have long felt a lively inter
est. The catalogue of works published
by this long established firm is a volume
in itself, contains works on nearly every
subject Of human knowledge, and works
of fiction by all the great novelists of the
day. Harper's Magazine is a rePertory Of
information on every topic; but its
sketches of American scenery and history
are especially valuable. Nearly every
mountain, river and valley in the country
has been illustrated by pen and pencil in
its pages. The Weekly is, perhaps, the
best illustrated paper in the world; it is
certainly unequalled in this country. Dur
ing the last few years it has had many II
walls, but none of them have equalled it,
either in the finish of the illustrations or
the quality of the literary matter which
fills its pages. The Bazaar, too, fills
place peculiar to itself, and in a way TO
render competition almost impossible.
Probity, judgment and taste have lorg
been characteristics of the business aud
literary management Of the house.
