BOLD RoBBERy.-0n Friday evening last, a
bold and successful robbery was consummated
on the premises of Edward Malin, at Glen NJ ills

some time during the early part of the evening,
and decamped with his booty while the family
was engaged In domestic pursuits. Goods 10
the value Of about $500 were taken, among
which were gold watch, child s gold necklace
and several articles of wearing apparel. Thus
far no clue has been obtained either as to the
whereabouts ofthe stolen articles or the per.

company Of gentlemen interested in agricultural
development, met at Stoke Park, near Slough,
in order to inspect Mr.. Isaac Browns novel

PeIforations in lead pipes, by means of pow

and determined at once to start out on new

good crops and improve the land was to stuff

everything that would rot and make vegetable
mold. l went round the hedges of moving
lots, In the pastures and on the roadside, and
moved all the bushes could get and stacked
them In the yard forililter. When leaves fell
went to the forest and gathered several loads
filling all the spare room had in the barn with
them. l bedded the floor thick where the cat
tie stood. Each morning hoed all the wet
ones with the manure into the cellar an bed

DIGEsTIoN.-The all important facts about
digestion necessary for the people at large to
understand, are easy Of comprehension. Di.
gestion has tor its object the dissolution of food.
BY vital processes reducing it to liquid form
suitable TO be received into the blood. 1t is in
this way that the blood receives its daily sup
plies OF nutliment with which it nourishes all
parts OF the system. Healthy digestion is de-
pendent upon healthy condition of the stom-
act, and supply of proper food in due amount
at suitable times II the digestion is good, and
the food proper, then abundant supplies of
nourishment will be furnished to all parts of the
system. The amount of food required should
be regulated BY the wants Of the system for
growth or exercise, and should always be pro-
portioned accordingly. 1t is just here that the
many err. They do not regulate the amount
taken in accordance to the wants of their sys-
TEN for such purpose. They take more than is
needed, more than can be well digested What
is in excess of what is needed is slow in digest
Ing, ferments, proceeds to the first stage of de-
cay, before 1t is finally dissolved and ready 10
be absorbed into the blood. Thus, an irritating
liquid, almost putrd it may be, is mingled with
the blood, rendering it impure and generating
hlmors and diseases. The tissues of the body
have to be nourished from this impure blood,
and as a consequence, soon come into an un-
healthy condition ready to take on various d.
seased action. The brain has to be supplied
from the same blood, and feels sensibly and
feels .sensibly and Immediately, It's Injurious
objects. There is want of the usual mental
activity, an impeded flow OF thoughts, an OBJ
structed apprehension of ideas presented, and
the person feels that he is stupid, dull, and
incapable of applying himself efficiently to apy-
thing. The brain ia muddled by the presence
in the blood Of imperfectly digested food. All
the effects are due to imperfect digestion, wheth-
er caused by eating too much, or BY the weak
ness OF the stomach being such as to render 1t
unable to digest even little well. That food
may be well digested, it is necessary that it be

habited to receiving food at regular hours and
prepares for its reception. And the food if Their

MURDER IN THE FIRST DEGREE.-The I'd
uelZook Jury sent a sealed noie to Judge Butler
on Sunday morning, at half past nine clock,
which the Judge declined TO receive, except in
open court. The attorneys were notified and
| court called. The note being read It proved to
be request TO see the Judge, and upon their
being brought in, they desired further informa-
tlon as 10 DR.. Bailey's testimony. This the
Judge read them, from his own notes. and some
| papers in tine case which they desired were sent
them.
The jury then returned To their room. and
the court adjourned
| At T.. NJ, the court reopened on iDtorma :
ton that the jury had agreed. The prisoner
was brought In and the jury came in with down.
east countenances, none of them looking at tke
prisoner, and the foreman. Mr.. Morton had
tears in his eyes. Their names were called and
the clerk put the usual question, TO which the
torman answered, guilty. The clerk-Of what?
The ioremau-Of murder in the first degree
| The formula was answered by each Juror sep
| arately.
| Judge Butler then said: Gentlemen-Your
duties have been arduous and painful, and we
have sympathized with you very deeply. We
now discharge YOU and for the careful and ma.
tient manner which you have fulfilled the duty
you are entitled to the thanks of our fellow
| citizens.
Mr. Perdue, counsel for the prisoner, made a
motion for new trial, and was told that he had
| tour days in which 10 file his reasons. The
prisoner was taken back TO Jail and the court
adjourned. Although several OF the jury seemed
much affected by the weight OF their response
| bility, the prisoner showed no emotion what
| ever but gazed unwinkingy on each iuryman
| as he gave in his verdict. When all was over
he adjusted his hat 10 nicely on his head and
| walked out of the court room, with nothing
about him OF the air of man walking to his
doom.
Z The ballots Of the jury were as follows: First
ballot guilty, 3 not guilty, undecided.-

ballot-4 guilty, s not guilty. Sixth ballot-6

changes to send no papers except tho,o
c ,ntaining notices Of their publications.
1t is evident that the beginning Of July
will witness . large reduction in the
amour, Of matter now carried by the

A Richmond paper, opposed to the new
