WATERFORD BANK RoBBERY.-The recent
remarkable robbery of the Saratoga Bank at
Waterford is brought afresh to our minds by ar
event which occurred to-day. Last night. two
bundles of what appeared to be legal documents
were found by the police, one hidden behind
the iron fence corner Of Hudson avenue and
Philip street. and the other in Madison avenue,
where it had seemingly been thrown away
These were turned over to the property clerk
in the usual manner Chief Maloy, this fore
noon, happened casually to inspect them, and
from what he saw was convinced that the
packages had at one time a Judgment in the
vault of the burglarized Waterford bank. He
at once telegraphed to Cashier Van Hoyenburgh
who took the first train and came on 10 this
city, On arriving at headquarters he was
shown the packages, and at once identified
them as his own personal property, and ones
which had been taken on the night of the
robbery.
After discussing the matter awhile he left
with the intention of returning to Waterford,
He had scarcely got out of sight, when a wo-
man appeared at headquarters with q bag in
her band, which she said she had found under
the front stoop of her residence on Lodge street
near State, while engaged in sweeping this
morning. The bag was emptied out, when it
was found to contain the following articles:
One silver watch, two gold watches, two mas
slye gold SEALS one gold finger ring two pocket
books, two purses, warranty deed, two notes
numerous scrapt OF paper, containing memo
randa of deposits, etc.
A messenget was sent to overtake Mr. Van
Hovenburgh and bring him back, and succeed
ed in doing SO, when he identified the bag and
most of the property as having been also stolen
from the bank From this it was evident that
the robbers were lately in the city, and even
now may be concealed in our midst. Every
effort will be made to ferret them out by the
uthorties.-Abaay Journal

THE TRUE.GRIT DEMOCRATs.-The
true-grit Democratic State Convention will
assemble in this city on Tuesday. The de-
votion to principle Of these gentlemen, how
ever small in number, challenges therespect
of all reasonable men, and their delbera-
tons will have an interest commensurate
with the novelty of the position in which
the recent remarkable political movements
have placed them. The partisans who
have sold out to Greeley at first ridiculed
the "straiehtouts,n then denounced them,
and now, when they have become desperate
over the impending defeat of the coalition,
they are engaged in some Of the most
earnest coaxing we have witnessed
for some time. But as the true-griters
have so far refused to be driven from their
principles, it is likely they will not prove
susceptible to the Establishments of those
who are running after strange gods. ....

Daniel T. Wood was appointed president

other varieties, but did not excel, and We're
inferior in quality to the seed sOwn, only
weighing about 81 lbs, when the original
weighed 40 lbs. to the bushel. He attrib-
uted the cause to the very dry season we
have had in this section.
Thomas S. Staddon exhibited some very
fine specimens of pears, the flavor of which
compared well with the outward appear
ance.
The correspondir 6 secretary was directed
to correspond with the clubs OF Loudoun
and Clarke counties, and report whether
they have adopted any system by which to
protect their horses from being stolen.
1t was decided that each member furnish
the recording secretary with statement OF
the amount of wheat sown, number oil
acres, time of sowing, fertilizers used, and
the result after harvest.
Adjourned for dinner.
Upon reassembling, the question or
docket for the day, relative to wmter!ns
stock and economizing food, was discussed
1t was thought all stock except sheer

access to shelter; that food could be greatly
economical by the use Of cutting-boxes

EDUCATION IN BERLIN. - Nothing
more forcibly strikes the foreign sojourner

the lower classes of that city. Your cab

penmanship and correct spelling
your wife's seamstress is able
to discuss the latest publications, the views
in the political and fashionable world. and
examines the books on the table with a
neutrality-suspicious. eye. To be sure,
this universal intelligence has tendency
to make the "hewers of wood and drawers
of water" somewhat arrogant and, by the
law Of compensation, the cabby and the
washerwoman make up for the absence OF
ignorance by pertness and independence
Of manner which are to be met with, to an
equal degree, in no other European capital.

If we can bless others by impartlng
material benefits, still more may we do so
by giving of the best that our mental and
spiritual natures possess. The most yalua.
bic gifts are not those which money can
procure. 1t is not only what we
hare, but what we are. that we should use
freely and cordially for the benefit, eleya-
ton and the happiness of those with whom
we mingle, and benevolence demands that
we open the avenues to the best that is in
US, whatever it may be, as freely az we
open our purses to the furnishing and
needy.
Let none, then, plume themselves upon
a secretiyeness and reserve of mind, that is
alike detrimental to general and individual
happiness and improvement. Good taste
and modesty will ever preserve the limits,
beyond which self with its personal inter
ests becomes intrusive; and the cordial
frank and open nature, that loves freely
to interchange thought, affection and sym
pathy,-will both enjoy and confer happi
ness, that the reserved and reticent car
neither experience nor appreciate. -PhtId

ELECTION SUPERVISOR REFUSING TO

elections in one Of the precincts of Chester

the registration of voters, issuing Of trans

assigned for thus failing to open the books,
is that he resigned the office some time ago.

to the office. On affidavit of these facts
being made to-day, Chief Supervisor M. F.
Peasants issued a warrant for the arrest OF

That country only can consume manu-

of producing them at home. If the masses
of the American people are the best fed,
the best clothed, the best educated, and the
most comfortable in their homes of any
people on the face of the earth, it is due to
the wisdom of our fathers who founded a
system, in the main thus far preserved,
which has elevated the prices of labor,
stimulated ambition and thirst for know
ledge among the toiling millions, who else
where have no hopes or desires beyond
their toll, which has fostered diversity Of
employment, which has at the same time
cheapened prices and increased the capacity
for purchasing, and which has brought pro-

EXPERIMENTS IN FEEDING HOGs.-
An Iowa farmer reports an experiment
made during the fall of 1870, in feeding
twenty hogs, about one year old. They
were fed twenty-eight days on dry shelled
corn, consuming elghty-three bushels and
gaining 1897 pounds in weight an average
gain of over 10 pounds to each bushel oil
corn, which was thus made to return value
of so 2-5 cents. They were afterwards fed
fourteen days on meal, ground fine
and fed dry, full supply of
water being furnished,) and consumed
forty-seven bushels, gaining 5S3 pounds in
weight, or If pounds to each bushel fed,
the corn returning value of 5s8 cents per
bushel. Alterward they were led fourteen
days on 551 bushels Of meal mixed with
cold water, and made gain of 73l pounds,
or l3 1-G pounds to each bushel of meal
the corn returning Go 5-6 cents per bushel
They were then fed fourteen days on 4G!
bushels of meal cooked, with a gain Of GO

KEEP THE HEART ALIVE. = The

to endeaver more and more to extend my

tendency of advancing years is to narrow

these are very different affairs. But | find
that it conduces to my mental health and
happiness to find out all can which is

place of what i have known, felt and

Wig
Of course the Wing knows that Penn
svlyanians are not true types of American
character. 1t is an insult to real Amorlcan
manhood, which is only to be found in the
South, to even hint proposition SO degrad-
ing and preposterous. We have often
thought it very strange that in the settle
ment of this country all the respectable
people of the English race should have fixed
their homes South of Mason and Dixon's
line, while the very worst types, the scum
as it were, of that stock, pitched theiI tents
in Pennsylvania and other communities OF
the North. But it is, nevertheless, true:
All the intelligence, breeding, gentility and
brayery-in fact, all the good and noble
qualities that distinguish the great English
race, belong exclusively to the people OF
these Southern States, while every attribute
of baseness, meanness, cowardice and vul-
parity marks the degenerate Northern
branch of the family. This, too, accounts
| for the difference between Washington, the
virginia aristocrat and gentleman, and
Grant, whom the Wing has rightly discov-
cred to be coarse vulgarian, sordid, igno-
rant and degraded. Now, had he even had
the good luck to be born in Virginia pig.
pen, he would have been o nobler man.
But his Northern birth and breeding fully
account for his vulgarity, ignorance, sordid.
ness and utter lack of gentility. This
country has no gentlemen, we are sorry tt
be compelled to admit, save the natives o
the South, and they are all gentlemen.
