The Most Daring Bank Robbery On
RecOrd-LOss 100000.

LOUISVILLE, June 1.-THE Mechan-
les Bank of this city was, about five
o'clock this afternoon, the scene of a
bold and daring robbery. Henry L.
Pope, cashier, was at the time alone in
the bank, when two men entered, and
one placing a knife at the heart of Mr..
Pope, threatened him with instant death
if he uttered a word; the other took a
handkerchief, saturated il with chloro-
form, put it over his face and threw q
shawl over his head. The robbers as
soon jas the chloroform took effect, car
ried Mr.. Pope to a room in the back
part of the building and locked him in.
The robbers hen proceeded in a sys-
tematic name to their work of cleaning
out the bank.
Sixty thousand dollars in money was
secured and carried of, and twelve or
thirteen thousand dollars were left scat
tered all over the floor. A clerk return
ed at $50, discovered the bank doors
open and called in two policemen, who,
hearing a groan from the rear of the
building, discovered and relieved Mr..
Pope from his ~disagreeable situation.
He was still unconscious, and il was some
of the drug administered. The same
bank was robbed about thirty years
since, when the banker and bookkeeper
were killed, and Julian, the cashier, Sc
verely wounded. The robber Dix was
discovered in the act, and blew his brains
out to prevent arrest. The police are on
the track but so far have NJ clue to the
perpetrators of the robbery.

The Dayton Journal of May 2Sth says
There are now twenty-seven girls al
the Industrial School, established by the
State, at White Sulphur Springs, for the
reform of girls who have been deemed
incorrigible. The establishment is IN
der the superintendent of DR.. Nichols
and his estimable lady, who are sue
eeeding admirably in controlling and
teaching the girls put under their charge.
Sheriff Swadner som time ago escorted
TO this School al "'incorrigible," named
Clara Davidson; and a few months
afterwards, another of the same bad rep
u%tation, by the name of Charlotte Glib
son.
Last Thursday, when he visited the
School for the purpose of placing the
young vagrant Sarah Bolden there, he
saw the girls whom he had already
taken there, and he was astonished at
the change wrought in them in so short
a time. Neither one of the girls could
read or write prior to getting into the
School; one Of them could not even
make out the alphabet. And they had
very bad manners. Now they can both
read and write moderately well, and
they are as well behaved as any girls
you will find. The girls are taught to
read and write, and TO do needle work,
and all kinds of house work. They ali
seemed contented and happy, and
none of them wanted to 90 home.

THE NEW JUDGE OF ELECTION


We published, a few weeks since,
several sections of the law passed at
the late session of the Legislature,
providing for minority judges of cleo
tions. Enquiry has been made by
some of the trustees Of townships as
to the effect of this act upon their
duties. A reading of the provisions
of the act, makes it clear to us that
the practical effect of the law will be
to constitute the minority candidate
for trustee, who shall have received
the highest number of votes for that
Office, a judge of elections, instead of
that trustee elected by the lowest ma
jority received by any one Of the three
chosen.
In order to render the understand
ing Of the matter satisfactory to par
ties interested, we addressed q line to
Hon. JOHN LITTLE, Representative
from Greene county, who framed the
bill, and who is an able lawyer, max
ing some enquiries relative to the law.
We append his letter, as follows:
XENIA, o., June II, 1870.
Hon. WILLIAM RITEZEL-Dear Sir =
Yours of the 18th inst, inquiring as to
the operation, &c, of the judge of cleo
tion law, passed at the last session, is
received.
I have TO say, in answer, that it was
my aim, in framing the bill, to make the
Office of judge Of election Of Office it
could be called, independent Of and dis
tinct from the Office Of township trustee,
in order to avoid any objections that
might otherwise be raised under the 4th
Section of Article 10 of the Constitution
to make judges of election in townships
precinct, instead OF toVRship officers.
That aim, 1 think, is accomplished by
the act, and the two positions are in no
wise necessarily dependant the upon
the other. Judges of election in town.
precincts "shall consist of the two
trustees receiving the
highest number Of votes, &c.
1t will generally occC- that two of the
trustees of every township will be two of
the judges of election therein, but not
necessarily so in any case. They may
decline to serve as trustees, and pay the
statutory penalty two dollarsl ; still they
would be judges of election, and liable
a penalty Of twenty dollars if they
to serve. In short, it is by vir-
ne Of hdVing received the highest number
IF rotes, &C., that electors become judges
If election, and not by reason Of being
ownship trustees.
Trustees appointed to fill vacancies
would not be judges Of election, there
ore.
You are clearly right in your view that
he minority" judge cannot act as trus-
zee. he has no more authority 10 do so,
any respect than any other person not
trustee.
Yours, very truly, in haste.

close the pores prevent fits healthy ac-
tion. On the other hand, the eramels COM
posed of carbonate of lead are highly dan
gerous, and their use Is very certain 10 pro-
duced disastrous results TO those who patron
lie them.
4. The white powders for h K are harm
less, except I SO far as their application may
interfere with the healthy action of the skin.
After the oily ingredients of the va
rious kinds of hair dyes and restora-
tives have disappeared from the hair,
it is left dry and harsh, and in a far
worse condition than when first APP
piled.
Such has been my observation and
L feel in duty bound to discourage, so
far as can, the use of SO dangerous
and so useless articles.

Poisonous effects OfTariOus Hair Dyes,
Cosmetics, Lotions, Enamels and
Washes, to Beautify the Complexion.

WARREN. o., June II, 1870.
Editor Chronicle Having had oc-
casion to witness many times the dele
terious effects of several of the popu-
lar hair dyes and hair tonics, as well
as various cosmetics, lotions, washes
and enamels used for the purpose of
identifying the skin and complexion,
1 can but feel it my duty to comply
with your request and present a few
statistics upon these articles which
are SC largely used at the present time.
Nearly il not all the hair dyes now
in use, contain lead, and aredependent
upon this mineral for their action up
on the hair by uniting with the sui
phur of the hair, forming a black
compound ; thus depriving the hair
of one of its elements and killing it
instead of restoring it. To keep the
hair properly blackened these o
trums have to be frequently applied,
thus keeping the scalp in almost con-
slant contact with the lead they con-
tain.
The absorbent vessels of the scalp
take up more or less of the poison and
convey it to the general circulation of
blood when sooner or later the whole
system becomes contaminated and the
specific lead poison symptoms are de-
veloped, the chief ones being lead
or painters collie, and wrist drop or
lead palsy. Occasionally, however,
salvation is produced, exhibiting a
lead blue ridge around the gums, loos-
enins of the teeth and even apoplec-
tic symptoms have sometimes been
developed.
One or all these conditions may be
induced by the gradual introduction
Of lead into the system. Although
amenable to treatment, yet if the
cause producing these continue, lead
poisoning will prove fatal.
The palsy produced by lead is al
most always confined to the upper
limbs, generally the wrist joints or
rather to the muscles which extend
the fingers and hand, while the mus
cles which close the hand remain
healthy, thus rendering the wrist
Joint and hand useless.
Painters collie is among the most
severe of all diseases. The pain is
often so excrueiating that even the
strongest nerved will cry with pain,
throwing themselves into all manner
of eontorticn, in the vain hope of
finding relief.
Persons engaged in the manufac-
ture of paints, painters, persons who
for a long time use water which has
been conducted through lead pipe,
and those who apply these various
nostrums which contain lead, to the
surface, either to restore the hair or
beautify the skin, are liable to suffer
from lead poison.
In a recent report of Prof. c. F.
he states that he found in
each fluid ounce the following num-
Der of grains of lead: In
