A Bold Robbery.

The usual quiet of our city was dis
turbed on last Friday night by a most
daring and successful robbery. Capt.
William Buchanan, of this city, was
the victim. Early last week Capt.
Buchanan left Wooster for Pittsburgh
to dispose of two car loads of sheep.
He transacted his business by Thurs
day evening, intending to return home
on the IL o'clock A. NJ. train of Fri
day, which he accidentally missed
He according left on the afternoon
train which brought him to Wooster
at 9 o'clock in the evening. He had
considerable of funds with him : $3.50
in currency belonging to Mr.. George
Carol, who resides near Big Prairie ;
$500 in currency belonging to himself,
and two drafts on New York, one of
5000 payable to himself, and n of
$3.50 payable to MI. w. Glasgo, who
lives near Wooster, in all Sl430 in
currency, and $1,000 in drafts, all of
which was taken from his person
On alighting from the train he took
his usual route home, up Cunningham
street to the first alley running east
and west, where he turned in, when
he saw two men approaching him
As he neared them they separated and
in passing between them he felt q pow.
erful crap on his throat. He strug-
gled to release himself and in the
scufhe he received a heavy blow on
the forehead from a slung shot, which
rendered him insensible. He saw
stars and fell to the ground. He has
no recollection what occurred after
this. On recovering he found him
self laying PROSTATE and bleeding
He tried to get up, taking hold OF
the fence to steady himself. For a
short time he CROPPED along the fence
totally unconscious of the direction
in which he was moving. He fell a
second time insensible, but finally
succeeded in reaching his own door,
which was not far distant, where he
was discovered by his wife, in a speech
less condition The neighbors were
speedily alarmed, and DR.. Firestone
was summoned for medical aid. His
injuries on examination did not prove
to be of dangerous character. His
face is battered, bruised and scratch
ed. His forehead bears the marks of
a slung shot. His head is cut and
bruised. His collar, shirt and vest
were torn in the violence of the strug
gle. He was roughly handled by
rough and desperate customers.
The night was pitchy dark, render
ing the Identification of the Williams
impossible. The job was in all proba-
bility put up by Wooster rascals.-
They had been watching their oppor-
tunity. They had not followed their

under the sofa, and Immediately he
was fast asleep. However, he was not
destined to rest in peace, for shortly
after, he was awakened by the entrance
of two young ladies engaged in earnest
conversation, who sat down on the
seme seat under which our friend was
lying. After talking a little while on
various subjects, one said to the other,
"Did you hear any one say anything
about me ?" eyes, 1 heard quite a
number say that you were the best
dancer in the hall" "But did you
hear any say anything about mel"
"Yes, they all said you were the pref
tiest young lady here to night" Now
John was awakened by this earnest
conversation, and began to share the
interest felt by the young ladies'
Poking out his head from between
their feet, he thus delivered himself to
the horror stricken couple: odd
did you h-hear (hic) anybody 8 s-say
anything b b b bout me ?" The shrieks
of the affrighted damsels were their
only response as they fled in dismay
to the ball room, and Johns question
remained unanswered.

KANSAS, AND THE B. & NJ. r. R.
LANDS.
The burlington Route" so-called,
lies right in the path of the Star of EN-
pire. II runs almost Immediately in
the center Of the great westward move
ment of emigration. Crossing Hi
nois and Iowa, it strikes the Missouri
river at three points.
These three points are the gateways
into three great sections of the trans,
Missouri region.
The Northern gate is Omaha, where
the great Pacific road will take you to
the land of gold and grapes, sunny
mountains, and perpetual summer.
The middle gate is Portsmouth,
which opens npon the south half of
Nebraska, south of the Platte river, a
region unsurpassed on the continent
for agriculture and grazing. Just here
are the B. & M. Railroad lands, con-
corning which Geo. S. Harris, the
land officer at Burlington, Iowa, can
give you all information, and in the
heart of them is Lincoln, the State
Capital and present terminus of the
road.
The Southern gate leads to Kansas,
by connections with the st. Joe Road
at Hamburg, running direct to st.
Joe and Kansas City.
The trains of the Burlington run
smoothly and safely, and make all
connections. 1t runs the best of coach
es, Pullman Palace and Pullman din
ing cars, and should you take the
journey for the journeys sake alone,
you will be repaid; or take it to find a
home or a farm, and you cannot find
either better than among the b. d M:
lands, where you can buy on ten years
credit, and at a low price. 1y4l

The storm we had here day before
yesterday was not so heavy as 1t was
on the lire of the Pacific Railway.
Many bridges and culverts were wash
ed out, and the lightning was destruct-
i've. At Kansas City and Lawrence the
rainfall was immense. From the &C.
count Of it at the latter place made by
the Journal we make the following
extract:
The only damage by the lighting wal
to the telegraph Office. AS soon as the
lightning commenced, Mr.. Hard, the
operator present at the time cut OF the
connection. About six o'clock the cleo.
tricity in the air became so intense, and
the wires along the street 80 charged
that, like immense balls of fire, it ran
along the wires, skipping from one tC
the other, and entering the Office with
q report like that of q rifle, it burn
ed of all the wires above the finger
board, melted several Of the keys and
set the building on fire in the window
casing near the finger board; thence
passing through the instruments, it ut
terly ruined two Of them, the repeaters
one of which was melted together. Pas
sing down q wire and gas pipe in the
corner, it set the base board on fire, and
passed out of the building-how and
when was not discovered last night.
Mr.. Hard..was uniniured, although some
what shocked by the electricity.

ELDORADO.

We visited this town few days ago,
and were very glad, in view of its late
misfortune, to find business so good,
and every indication that there is no
let up to the courage and pluck of the
people. Many of the houses blown
down and injured have been put to
rights, and are again occupied as bust
ness places or residences. About thirty
buildings yet remain as the storm left
them, that is with the timbers and
boards scattered over the1 prairie. We
had not been in town for year and a
quarter, and were surprised and pleas
ed at its growth. At least hundred
new buildings, some of them large and
substantial, have been put up. The in
dications of thrift exist on every hand,
and we predict that Eldorado is des-
tined to be large and prosperous town.
All she lacks now is railroad facilities,
and these we think she will have within
the next eighteen months. The kind of
pluck that has been exhibited by the
business men of Eldorado, in working
for her interests, rarely fails of success.
