Waterford Rank Robbery

The recent remarkable robbery of

brought afresh to our minds by an
event which occurred to-day. Last
night tw" bunoles Of what appeared ia

police, one hid beneath the iron fence

and came to this city. On arriving al
headquarters he was shown the packa.

had been taken on the nj sht Of the
robbery.
After discussing the matter awhile,

nothing TO do with the promotion Of

promotes the Government and which
alone can render it perpetual. The
idea must never prevail in this country
that revealed religion needs bolstering

become voluntary subjects Of its domin-

its saving power. 1t they refuse, to
listen to its teachings, or to be influ-

work, and gives tho teacher leisure to
ascertain the individual attainment Of bis
pupils, and to make programme in
harmony with their several conditions,
and as fast rs he natures it, the pupils
should be classified aud assigned to
special duty. This will speedily reduce
the whole work to complete system,
