The GROUND Hoe Some OF our exchanges
are calling upon US for dissertation on
'Grusnd Hogutosy. For twelve years we had
faithfully remembered his Hogship, nd never
failed to chronicle bis approaching annire,sa
ry: but he had latterly become unreliable. and
last year played off Oh US mort scandaious!y.
We had therefore determined not to notice
him this year, nor hereafter, until he had tho
roughly reconstructed himself; aud We would
have kept our resolution, had not our editorial
brethren called upon US for few remarks.
We will say lin answer. that the % inst WAS
Ground Hogs Day. At noon, according TO
old tradition, he came from his hole, and as
the day was clear, he saw his shadow, rag
back into his hole, and will remain there for
six wssks longer. during which time Winter
will continue. If the Ground Hog had main
tanned his reputation, we could confidently
Predict that the present Winter would continue
until St. Pstrick's Day in the morning; but as
the case now stands, we don't predict thing
aboutit. 1t is not very vintry, just now.

bridge, seized his horse by the birdie, and COM
menced Jerking him rapidly around in circle.
10 order TO cause the animal to fall At the
zane time, another man, who remsined hidden
under the bridge, commenced firing upon him,
one ball passing through his hat, anc another
through bis coat-sleve. He drew bis revolver
aud fred upon the person who held his horses
bride; but when he had fred two or three
shots, his horse was thrown, and he fell to the
ground. HIS assail ant struck him on the head,

hers were gone. having taken fse hundred DOL
lars from his pocket. Hid had four hundred

not get At the time of the attack, there was
a team coming. short distance OF, the driver
of which distinctly heard the firing. Milltr's
revolver was afterwards found short distance
from the scene of the robbery, with three cham
bers empty. Itbad doubtless been carried there
by the robbers, and then thrown away.
Miller thinks the robbers must have follow
ed him from St. joseph, where he drew the
money lie did not know the man who at
tackled him. but suppeses that the other one must
have been a man whom he knew, from the fact
of bis remaining concealed under tie bridg.
No cue to the robbers has vet been obtained.

noback.s stomach Bi.ters.

Some time ago, DIR. Roback, of Cincin-
natl, through his agent in this place, j. A.
Maxwell, Esq, placed in our hands a bottle
of his Stomach Bitters, designed for dys-
pepsia, to give tore to the stomach, as a
preventive against the bilious complaints
incident to the Western country and, up
on using it. we regard it as second to none
in America or abroad. To be able to state
confidently that the Bitters are a certain
cure for dyspepsia and like diseases, is
to the proprietor a source of unalloyed
pleasure. 1t removes all morbid matter
from the stomach, purifies the blood, inn
parts renewed vitality to the nervous sys-
tenn. giving it that tone and energy SO indis-
pensable for the reservation of health. The
numerous acknowledgements of its superior
excellence and beneficent results, nave as
sured the proprietor that it can not but
prove a great cure to the afflicted, and inn
part vitality 10 tie through system. We
advise those who use bitters, to use none
but Roback's, which can be obtained at j.
A. Maxwell'ss Drug Store, in Upper San
Jusky.
