ABsooNDED-Some little excitement was
caused in our town last week by the sudden
'Oasappearance of Mr.. NJ. S. b. Robertson
Town Sergeant for the Corporation of Charles.
town, who, without any notice of his inten.
ton, left town on Tuesday morning, taking
with hin, several hundred dollars of collected
taxes in his hands. 1t has been found upon
examination, however, that after subtractin 9
the amount of salary due him, the corporation
treasury will only be deficient to the amount
of about $50. 1t is now reported that Mr..
Robertson's official bond is also missing. IF
this be so, it is, to say the least, an exhibition
of gross carelessness and neglect on the part
of somebody; That public officers official
bond should be- thrown around loose where he
may have access to it at any time, is rather
careless way of doing business.
The Council, on Thursday night last, ap-
pointed Mr.. W. S. Merchant Town Sergeant.
to ELL the vacancy caused by the removal of
Mr.. Robertson.

AMeIanehoIv Break.nown

There are lively Break-downs that make an
audience laugh, and there are sad and sorrow
ful break-down5 ttat make the kind-hearted
grieve;, To the latter class belongs the enerva-
ton ofbody and mind which is usually called
general debility" or nervous weakness" and
which, when neglected too often terminates in
atrOphy and death. A wholesome medicated
stimulant is the one thing needed in cases of
this description, and science and experience
mite in pointing to Plantation Bitter5 as the
true specific. The fact that it combines the pro-
pertles OF an invigorant with those of Il regula-
tor and alternative, in exactly the proportions
necessaryto produce a radical change in the
tone of the sytem, and the action of the diges-
tive and secretiVe organs, in an unanswerable
argument IN its favor as general restorative.

Wheat Prospects.

From farmers in different parts of Knox
county and throughout East Tennessee we learn
that the prospect for large yield of wheat is
fine, indeed. 1t looks extremely we'll and bids
fair to be far in excess of an average good crop.
A larger area was plinted than usual, SO that
the coming year is likely to prove as plenteous
as the present has been short.
