books and about $500 in money, which
swelled the proceeds Of their operations
to nearly $500 in cash. After complet.
ing the job, they started on a run, and
entered the woods near the bridge, since
which time nothing has been heard of
them. Mr.. Lewis then came with his
team to this village, where he remained
all night. On the following morning

Sheriff John w. Foshaw, to the scene
of action, and, after visiting all the
contiguous villages and making thor

1t is thought the parties who com.
mitted the deed belong to the Hudson
river gang of thieves, and that they fol-
lowed Mr.. Lewis either from Fishkill
or Newburg, until they found a con-
venient place for the robbery, which
they were quite judicious in selecting,
as there is not house within halt q
mile OF the place. By our advertising
columns, it will be seen that Sheriff
Horton has offered reward of $500 for
the arrest and conviction Of the guilty
parties.-Putnam County Courier.

What Dyspepsia may End In

What Dyspepsia may End In.
Indigestion Is not dangerous, say the fac
ulty. Perhaps not in itself, while it remains
quences to which 1t may lead, and often
does lead when 1t becomes a chronic dis
ease. A spark of fire is small thing. A
pressure of the foot will put it out; breath
will extinguish 1t. Yet 1t may fire pow
der mill, or kindle flame that will con-
sumo city. In like manner indigestion
may produce gastritis, cancer of the stom-
ach, congestion Of the bowels, apopleIy,
liver disease, and many other dangerous
maladies. Is 1t not wise, then, to check 1t
in the germ? Nothing is more clearly and
indisputably established than that Hostel
ter's Stomach Bltters will eradicate dyspep-
STA in all Its stages. The true policy, how
ever, is to extinguish 1t in the first stages
with this wholesome, powerful, and infalli-
BILE tonic and Alternative. 1t is easier to punch
q spark than flame, and 1t is easier to cure
dyspepsia when 1t is first developed, than
when it has made heaiway by neglect, and
become complicated with other ailments.
There is not the shadow Of a doubt that the
bitters are as directly antagonistic to dys-
pepsia as water is to fire. There are thous-
ands of cases on record proving this fact.
The remedy is safe and agreeable. All the
liquors of commerce prescribed as stimu-
lants, leave a sting behind. But the sting
is taken out of the spirituous basis of this
great remedy by vegetable medication, and,
moreover, the stimulant thus medicated Is
OF exceptional purity. OF all tonics taken
as safeguards or remedies for fever and
ague, bilious remittents, and other fall, cpl
denies, it is the only one that can uniform
" be depended upon.

AHOUsE OF REFUGE.

this morning from Judge THOMPSON
pen, in relation to the importance oil
erecting House Of Refuge for youth.
full offenders, and to thereport upon the
same subject presented in the Virginia
Legislature by Hon. Louis STEENRoD.
The subject is one of great importance
and demands consideration by our peo-
pie. Almost every day brings with it
fresh illustrations of the necessity for a
House Of Refuge, an6 we cannot shut
our eyes to it's importance II we would
The interests Of the State as
we'll as the dictates OF humanity
REQUIRE the establishment of such
a Retormatory School as has been
found so efficacious elsewhere
in checking the growth OF crime and
making good and useful citizens OF
MANY OF that class who, under our
present system, can scarcely fail to 60
from bad to worse until they fill the
cells of the Penitentiary. During their
recent visit to Baltimore, some OF the
memLers Of our City Council visited the
House of Refuge there, and we have
heard several OF them pronounce 1t the
most interesting event OF their trip.
The boys are educated; instructed In
various trades; kept out Of the atmos-
phere of vice and free from its allure
ments; a healthy moral sentiment is
inculcated and encouraged; and
very large proportion Of the inmates
of the Refuge go from its walls
thoroughly reformed. There are
in Baltimore to-day good busi-
ness men aud mechanics acquiring
honorable wealth and doing good to all
about them, who received their first
lessons of industry and their first i'm
pulse to an honest life in the House OF
Refuge whittier they had been sent by
the courts as offenders against the law.
The same is true OF every other city
where the same reformatory influences
have been tried. Had these boys been
treated as criminals; thrust into jails
along with older and more hardened
offenders; permitted to spend their
thirty, sixty, or ninety days at a time
in perfect idleness under the worst pos
sib!e circumstances; and then thrust
ont to steal again or starve; not one In
one thousand would have been able to
shake off the evil influences Of his youth
and become an honest man.
Something should be done at once
for the establishment OF House Of
Refuge in this county. Who will set
the ball in motion?

work-A Desperate Encounter In
Putnam County.
On the evening of Tuesday last, be-
tween the hours Of seven and eight
o'clock, one OF the highest crimes
known to the criminal law was COM
mitted within a few miles OF Carmel.
Mr.. R. S. Lewis, travelling agent for
the L. Bradley Knife Company, Of
Waterbury, Connecticut, was driving
with his team from Fishkill to this
place, and after crossing the bridge at
the upper end of the dam property, in
the town Of Kent, was accosted by two
men, who subsequently proved to be
highwaymen in pursuit of his money.
They came out Of the adjacent
woods, where they lad been con-
cealed awaiting his arrival. One
of them seized his horses by the
bits and stopped them, at the same
time presenting revolver pointed in
the direction Of the driver, while the
other took position near the front
wheel of the wagon, and demanded Mr..
Lewis to hand over his money, &C.
companying his request by an argument
in the shape of the muzz'e ola revolver.
Mr.. Lewis had q watch dog in the
wagon with him, which atthis moment
started for the han holding the horses,
but was soon put out Of the way by a
well directed ball from the villain he
attacked, His master then drew his
revolver and fired, but unfortunately
without effect. The fire was vigorously
returned by the man standing near the
front wheels, one ball passing through
the left arm Of Mr.. Lewis, and but for
a package of papers, letters aud photo
graphs which he carried in his side
pocket, and through which another
ball partially penetrated, he would
not be here to relate these facts. Several
shots were then fred by both parties,
but without perceptible effect. Finding
his revolver empty, Mr.. Lewis sprang
down from his seat in the wagon to
take the chances OF personal en-.
counter. SEEKING hold Of the man near
his front wheels, q desperate struggle
ensued, in which both parties sustained
considerable injury. Fearing the result,
the man in front Of the horses, who had
until this time stood at his post, . silent
looker-on, came to the assistance OF bis
comrade, which, of course. coon deter
mined the issue. Both robbers
then seized Mr.. Lewis and, after
riding his pockets took the

The West Virginia Commissioners
Under the act Of the West Virginia
Legislature appointing Commissioners
to ascertain the amount OF indebted
ness due from this State to the State OF
Virginia, up to the LIST OF January
1861, General j. j. Jackson left here
on yesterday morning for Richmond, in
the discharge Of his duties. Hon.. NJ.
Bennett, Of Weston, and A. W. Camp
bell, Esq, of Wheelipg,..the other two
Commissioners, will join him on the
road. They will, upon their arrival at
Richmond, proceed to ascertain the rel
alive amount that is due from each
State in accordance with the provisions
of the act "to ascertain and report the
amount of said debt then held by per-
sons other than the State of Virginia,
and what said debt was incurred for,
and what amount of this State debt
was then held by the Commissioners Of
the Sinking Fund and by the Board of
Library Fund; that they ascertain and
report the amount of all investment,
then held by the State, their respective
amount and character, and what portion
thereof were productive, and the divi-
dends therefrom, and whether any Of
such investments then so held by the
State have since been donated, changed,
converted or disposed of by the author.
tiles of said State, and if so, the amount
and how disposed OF; that they ascer-
tain and report the revenue derived for
the fiscal year ending on the 3Oth of
September, 1860, from all sources, by
the State of Virginia, within the pres
ent State of Virginia, and the amount
derived from all sources from the terri
tory now composing the State OF West
Virginia; and that they report any
other relevant matter deemed proper by
them"
1t will thus be seen that the duties of
this Commission are very onerous, par
ticularly as the State of Virginia has
appointed no commissioners to confer
with them. The Governor, in his selec-
ton OF the gentlemen to discharge this
duty, has shown his usual foresight and
prudence. Gen. Jackson was an active
member Of the Legislature when most
of the debt was created, and is very
familiar with the subject; Mr.. Bennett
was for many wears the Auditor Of the
State-was the best it ever had, and has
all the figures of the finances Of the
State at his tongues end, and Mr..
Campbell is gentleman Of intellect
and financial tact.
We take it for granted that these
gentlemen will seek-not to cheat or
be cheated, but to arrive at the accurate
proportion OF the debt West Virginia
should pay, without fear, favor or al.
lection" They have much labor to
perform, and we have no doubt will do
it correctly.

twas the brilliant policy inaugurated
