DAuINo BANK NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

DARING BANK RoBBERY.--Conneaut-
willie, in tho western part Of Crawford county, was
in state Of fevcrish excitement on Monday
morning, the ID inst, caused by the discovery
that during the preceding night the Office of the
First National Bank had been entered by burglars,
tho Cashier, Mr.. D. d. Williams, seircd, bound
and gagged, end the vaults riaed of $4,000 In
cash aud $780, 900 in United States bonds, left there
for safe keeping, us special deposits. The bank
occupies the corner room Of Powers block, with
tho discount and deposit Office In front, and
room for the meetings Of the directors In the rear
1t appears that no intmation Of the misfortune
which had overtaken its cashier and It's vaults
during the night had reached tho public until the
President, Mr.. W. L. Roberts, went to the bank
in the morning to open it. On stepping inside
no discovered everything in disorder, and looking
behind the counter found Mr.. Williams gagged
and bound The job had been well done and with
little regard for the comfort Of the victim. The
gag was a short piece Of wood, on inch in dame-
ter, with notches cut in each end to prevent the
rope slipping, and this was fastened around his
neck. His wrists were tied together and secured
between his legs by passing stick underneath at
the knees lie moaned fecbly after being released
but did not recover his senses for two hours. lie
reports that while at work in the bank, making
out a report to the Comptroller Of the U. S. Treas
ury to be placed in the mornings mail, no heart
q rap ut the back door of the directors room, ant
supposing 1t to be the clerk in Powers Bros. stor
he opened the door, and was Immediately pounce'
upon by the masked men, overpowered and gagged
He was then taken to the banking-room, wher
the robbers, finding vault aud burglar-proof saf
open, finished their work OF binding, and thel
after riding the safe decsmped. To reach tn
door Of the directors room, which is inside the on
leading from a hall separating Powers store fror
the bank, the robbers must have passed up Stair
unlocking door into wool room--the lock wa
common one, with the key left on the inside
thence down the back stairs to the door. Th
appearance Of tho robbers at this door disarme
all suspicion, as the only direct entrance to 1t W.
through the store. reward Of S2,soo is ohero
for the robbers and the recovery Of the stolen cas-
and bonds.-Er.

What Are They Growing Over?

Now that the smoke of battle has
cleared away, and the victors have a fair
view of the field which they have won,
the Democrats are not so exceedingly
jubilant. At first, they evidently sup
posed they had gained great advantages
and had actually obtained possession of
numerous States and control of the Ma
tional Government. On looking over the
field, aside from the partial control of II
few State Governments, they are not able
10 discover any material advantage
gained by their victories. 1t is remarka
BILE that so great triumph should be
characterized by such small advantages
In most instances their triumph only
gives them partial control of the State
Governments. The Republicans either
have the Governor or the Senate, or some
other check upon the Democracy in al
most every instance. In one CT two
cases, perhaps more, the Democrats may
bc able TO defeat the reelection Of pres
ent Republican members of the Senate,
as in the cases of Chandler and Carpcn-
ter, but they cannot elect Democrats In
national politics they simply have secured
majority in the House of Representa-.
uves, which affords them neither patron.
age nor power. True, they may defeat
measures originating in the Senate; but
the Senate can do the same thing with
House measures. All things considered,
therefore, the recent victories of that
party are most destitute of important re.
suits, Their most important effect will
be in uniting disciplining and preparing
the Republicans for the struggle of 1876.

RECIPES, ETC.

"A weak solution of tar and water is
re recommended for use by bald-headed
men, to bring back the capillary glory.
Breakfast Cakes.-Two eggs well
beaten, two cups of milk, two cups of
-four, one tablespoonful of sugar and salt
Heat dish hot, butter it well, pour in
the batter, and bake in quick oven.
Ladies who find their efforts to raise
house plants frustrated by worms may
be able to win success by boiling the
earth before setting the plants. Use
little water, and allow it to simmer away
after few minutes of hard boil A dry
heat is just as good.
-Escalloped Oysters.-Two quarts of
solid oysters, one dozen soft crackers,
pounded fine, one cup Of oyster juice,
piece OF butter, pepper, salt and mace
In deep dish, in which the oysters are
to be served, place alternate layers of
cracker crumbs and oysters, beginning
with the oysters; season each layer with
the mace, salt and pepper. When the
dish is full put lump of butter on the
top Of the cracker crumbs. and pour the
oyster juice over the crumbs, and bake
thirty minutes.
-Tapioca Cream.-Soak three table.
spoons OF tapioca over night or five or
six hours, in cold water enough to swell
it. Scald quart of milk and when boil
ing stir in the tapioca, letting it cook
three or four minutes. Add the yolks of
three eggs, well beaten, a teacup of sugar,
minus a few teaspoonfuls which should
be reserved for frosting, and flavor to
taste. Reserve little of the milk cold
to put with the eggs, and stir in very
quickly just as it is set off from the fire.
The whites should be beaten stiff and
favored slightly and sweetened a little,
and dumped in spoonfuls on the top after
it has been poured in pudding dish.
Now set In q warm oven and brown light
ly on the top.
Preserved Pumpkin-To each pound
of pumpkin allow one pound of roughly
pounded loaf sugar, one gill of lemon
juice. Obtain good sweet pumpkin,
halve it, take out the seeds and pare off
the rind; cut it into neat slices. Weigh
the pumpkin, put the slices in a pan or
deep dish in layers, with the sugar
sprlnkled between them. Pour the lem
on juice over the top and let the whole
remain for two or three days. Boil all
together, adding onehalf pint of water
to every three pounds of sugar used I'M
til the pumpkin becomes tender; then
turn the whole into a pan and let it re-
main for week; then drain off the
sirup, boiling it until it is quite thick;
skim and pour it boiling over the pump
kin. A little bruised ginger and lemon
rind, thinly pared, may be boiled in the
sirup to flavor the pumpkin. From one
half to three-quarters of an hour will
boil the pumpkin tender.

tain the laws which the country demands
for the support Of its honor and the lib
erty and safety Of It's citizens. Then q
Republican Executive can enforce these
laws, and Democratic House can howl
in its impotent rage, as harmless as SER
pent deprived of It's fangs.
The Democracy should not laugh SO
loudly before they are out of the woods.
There is coming fight for them which
will tax their energies most fully. The
defeat Of Republicans has mortified
them, and this feeling will be intensified
hundred-fQld by the brag and buster
with which the successful party greet
their victory. There will be no stay-at-
homes we promise them, in 1876. There
will be no Independents to slough Oft
Republican majorilies in the next cleo
ton. There will be no nominations to
disgust and dishearten the party, but the
decks will be clear, and when the drums
beat the now-elated Democracy will find
every Republican at his post, shoulder
to shoulder, prepared to administer to
that organization such a bastinadoing as
the disloyal old carcass never felt before.
Let them prepare for it now. They have
warning and they may as well be drilling
in order that the fight may possess the
interest of a lively contest. Inter- Ocean,
