! PROMPT LIBERALITY.-The first sub
stantial aid furnished the sufferers of our
town after the great fire came from the
Boot & Shoe house of Mosely Metzgar &
CO., 435 Market St Philadelphia, Pa.

5th telegram.
Philadelphia, Pa, May 81, 1872.
Messrs. Knable & Patton Draw on us
for $500 more for the relief of your citi-
zens Mosely, Mctzgar & Co.
Thus it will be seen that this liberal and
energetic firm forwarded within ten days
the sum of twenty five hundred dollars for
the relief of our suffering people. This
prompt and liberal action upon their part
we think deserves the commentator and
heartfelt gratitude of our distressedc itizens
and we have not the least doubt but what
they are to-day the recipients of the same,
from the many houseless and homeless,
persons who have reaped the reward of
their greatbenevolence.
The firm of Mosely, MetZger d Co, is
one of the largest book Il shoe establish
ments in Philadelphia, and as such offers
inducements TO the country trade, which
can not be excelcd by any other house of
that city We feel that it is no more than
Justice 20 such liberal and benevolent men
to urge every merchant in Somerset county
who deals in their line, to give them a
call when visiting the city, and we are of
the opinion that they will all be suited in
both prices and material-Demoerdt.

We have just put in our Office one OF
Cottreil & Babcocks improved country
presses, which by the way, We think are
the best country presses manufactured, and
the appearance Of the HERALD will bcal
testimony TO the fact of the elegant work
they can do We have also set up Bax,
ter engine, which far exceeds our other
one and everybody knows that il was q
beauty and worked like charm. Wehavc
also received a Half Medium Gorden job
ber, and are again prepared to do all kinds
ofjob work. We hope that the business
men will call on US and see the style OF
work We can do. Our prices are as low as
in the city. If our business men will pa.
tronize US it will assist greatly in putting
us on our feet again.

THE energetic and enterprising editor of
the Somersent Democrat deserves much
more praise than has been awarded him for
the successful manner in which he has pub
lished his paper since the fire. Wecan as
sure you, that the men are exceeding few,
who would go to half the trouble and ex-
pense TO have their paper out on the regu-
lar publication day, after such loss as the
Democrat sustained. Though our loss has
been great, we can't see that our neighbors
has been less. Mr.. Hoffman has our sin
cere thanks for the cordial and hearty man
ner in which he extended us the use of the
/ Democrats columns and for the publicity
he gave our appeal through his columns TO
our subscribers for help. We hope that
the subscribers of the Democrat will come
10 its rescue and generously support its
thoroughly enterprising editor.

In the terrible fire Of the 9th Of May
last, 10y which iwo-thirds of our town was
destroyed the Herald establishment was
utterly wiped out, and the fruits of the la
Dor of twenty years perished in the flames.
We are lady crippled financially, but have
lost neither heart hope nor enterprise
We have purchased new material and have
resumed the publication of our journsl-
Our friends can aid us materially in two
ways first, if they owe us anything, by
paying ii promptly; second, by sending us
two dollars to pay years subscription in

is much-yery much to us, as il viii help

lished, and has labored for the interests of
this people Ii has been faithful chroni-
Gle of their joys, their sorrows, and their
prosperity, familiar household friend, and
we hope has been much missed compan-
ion, to be heartily welcomed on its reap
pearance Our friends are assured that il
shall not be numbered among the things
that were but are not. if manly energy and
labor can prevent it.

SALISBURY STORE ROBBERS DISCOVER
ED.-We mentioned in Saturdays News
the fact of Mr.. Peter Hays store, in Sail
bury, Somerset Co, Pa, having been rob
bed on Thursday night last Of about 81 000
worth of goods. Since that time the per.
petrators of the deed have been found out.
On Friday morning last a woman of Salsis-
bury, in passing through some bushes a
a few hundred yards east of the town, in
search of her sheep, discovered some store
goods concealed behind log. and i'm look
ing about in other places she discovered
still more goods, much TO her astonishment.
Returning 10 town she informed her friends
of the discovery, and they, upon going to
the place and examining the goods, recog-
nized them as belonging to Mr. Hay, being
a part of those stolen from his store. 4
pistol was discovered in one of the bundles
of goods, which was recognized as belong
ing TO young man residing in the vicinity,
named Rufus Scott. The finding of this
pistol led to the suspicion that Scott was
implicated in the robbery, and he was forth
with arrested and taken before Justice of
the Peace for hearing. He subsequently
acknow ledged his guilt, confessing that he
took part in the robbery, with three other
young men, whose names he gave, who
had been employees in the construction of
the railroad now being made in that region.
Scott stated that the robbery Lad been
planned previously amongst the four, and
on that night was successfully carried out
that his part of the affair was simply To
keep watch in the road leading out east
warily from the town, and that the three
others entered the store and carried off the
goods to the hiding place above town /;
that they made frequent trips for three
hours or more, carrying all they could al a
load. They did not have any wagon, as
was supposed, but carried the goods on
their backs, and as soon as one load was de-
posted at the secreting place they would
return for another.
Scott told where all the goods had been
secreted, and the parties who went to bring
them in found about two-horse wagon
load. Everything with few exceptions,
was recovered. Scott is from near Nor
gantown, West Va, where he has very re-
spectacle connections residing, and it is
great pity that he has subjected them to
the modification they must feel over his
implication in the robbery. The three 9th
er parties implicated have made their es-
cape to parts unknown, but it is hoped they
will soon be found and sent to the Somer-
set Jail TO keep Scott company, as. since the
fire, he is the only prisoner now in that
freproof building.
Scott says il was the intention of the four
parties In the robbery Ia meet on the
ground where the goods were concealed,
on the following night and distribute the
booty. but he being sorry for what he had
done did not go TO the appointed rendes-
vous nor does he think other parties did,
as they feared arrest, and be is of the
opinion that the other man cleared the
the country the day after the goods were
taken.-Daily News" May 20.

1t will not do TO say that we have no con-

if we choose, and if depends a great deal
on the attention which we pay TO the first
inroads of Ill health. The Lungs have SO
important part to perform in the well-be-
ing of the body that any disarrangemento of
them should enlist our earliest care and at
tention. 1t is well TO know sometimes how
far they are diseased. DIR. KEYsER will
tell you this with almost the accuracy Of
mathematics. BY a strictly scientific in
yestigation the Doctor has enabled himself
to sound the Lungs with his Lung Sound,
so as TO tell exactly how far they are dis
eased or impaired in their functions, and
with that more than wonderful remedy,
DR.. Keyser's Lung Cure, will restore the
system to its wonted health and perfect
working Let the incredulous man try but
one bottle, and his incredulity will give
way to belief in the curative virtues of
DR. Keyser's Lung Cure. 1t goes TO work
by a gradual restorative system, and builds
up the system little by little until the whole
form is restored. The cost is trifle, 81 so

IL the terrible coniisgration of the 9th o.

town was destroyed the HERALD was Der
of the heaviest lossers. The accumulation:
of twenty years labor were destroyed in a.
many minutes. The Office, though one o
the last buildings to take fire, went like 8
flash. Our hands, at the cry of fire, having
rushed down street. became 50 engaged il
assisting their fellow sufferers, that the of
flee was deserted and burned 10 the ground
without an effort being made to save any
thing. Our account books are all that art
left. In the ruins can be seen the remains
of our elegant steam power press, aquartel
medium jobber, a beautiful little engine, and
pieces of that faithful and true old friend,
the Washington hand press, that for eigh.
teen years did its work nobly and well. OF
our paper cutter, our dry press, two large
imposing stones, all our handsome stands,
desks and furniture, large lot of printing
paper and stationary, files of the HERALD
for more than twenty years, that no money
could buy, nothing can be seen. Sixteen
hundred pounds of type lay under several
inches of dirt and sand shadeless mass.
