HEAVY BANK ROBBERY.
Particulars of the Daring Bank Rob-
berry at COnneautv1Ile, Pa.

Particulars of the Daring Bank Rob-
berry at ConneautviIle, Pa.
The following are additional particu-
lars ofthe daring bank robbery at Con-
MEANWHILE, Pa, on Sunday evening. The
First National bank of that place is in
the corner of Powers block, the bank
ing room being in the front, and the
directors room directly back of this,
with a vault between, and narrow
passage-way on either side connecting
the two. On the night of the robbery,
D. D. Williams, the cashier, was at
work in the bank, making out his re-
port to the Comptroller of the United
Statee Treasury, to be placed lin the
mornings mail. He heard rap at the
back d )or, in the directors room, and
supposing it to be clerk in
Powers Bros store, he opened the
door, and was Immediately bounced
upon by the masked men, overpowered
and gagged. He was then taken to the
banking room, where the robbers, find
ing the vault and the burglar proof
safe open, finished their work of bind
ing the cashier, rifed the safe, and de-
camped. The job of securing the I'M
fortunate cashier had been we'll done,
with little regard for the comfort of the
victim. The gag was short piece of
wood, an inch in diameter, with notches
cut in the edge to prevent the rope
slipping, and was securely fastened
around his neck. His wrists were tied
together and secured between his legs,
passing stick underneath at the knees.
He moaned feebly after being released,
but did not recover his senses for
two hours. The robbers managed to
secure $14, 900 in greenbacks and $40,
900 worth of bonds belonging to
special depositors. To gam entrance
to the directors room, which is an
inside one, leading from the hall. sep
arating Powers Bros store from the
bank, the robbers must have passed up
the stairs, unlocking the door into the
wool-room. The lock was a common
one, with the key left on the inside.
Thence they went down the back stairs
to the door. Their appearance at this
door disarmed all suspicious, as the
only direct entrance was through the
store. ~".
The bank is doing business as usual,
and offers upwards of 81, 500 for the
thieves and the same amount for the
cash and bonds. Thus far no clue
has been obtained as to the guilty
party. ... .... o. . ..........s,.-

Diseases of Artisans and Mechanics

A careful Investigation has been made
Of the special diseases incident to the
occupation of artisans and mechanics,
and the following are some of the most
interesting among the mass of facts
and data brought to light: ,ra
1t appears that gilders are subject to
mercurial affections. They suffer from
giddiness, asthma, and very frequently
from partial paralysis, which often in
duces peculiar kind of stammering.
They also frequently suffer from I'm.
pleasant ulcers in the mouth. .......
Miners in the quicksilver mines suf.
fer from vertigo-palsy and commissions,
and the occupation can not be pursued
a long time. -
Pottery glaciers, who use lead large
ly. get into condition very similar to
that described above, with the addition
of dropsy, loss of teeth, and enlarged
spleen. Palsy of the limbs, especially
of the arms, is common disease
among them, as also is consumption.
Glass blowers are the victims OF
those affections produced by sudden
vicissitudes of temperature--rheuma-
tism and various infammations They
are apt to become thin and delicate,
and their eyes become weak.
Stone-cutters inhale the sharp parti-
Giles, which tend to produce disease of
the lungs, while plasterers suffer from
the gases disengaged and from exces-
sive moisture they are also troubled
with labored breathing, and they di-
gcst badly. - -..~' r. .~e
Fllers are short-lived; for whether
the metal be brass or iron, the fine,
sharp particles make their way into the
lungs of even the hardest workmen,
where they develope disease-some-
times asthma, sometimes consumption.

An Ornithological Opera Troupe.

An extraordinary public entertain
ment has been produced in Lima, Peru.
by an italian named Contarini, who
proposes to carry his exhibition to Eu-
rope. He has taught and trained, by
dint OF great patience and perseverance,
an opera company, made up of thirty
parrots and paroquets, who perform
two OF Bellinl's operas, "Norma and
"Sonnambula," on miniature stage,
with full chorus and recitative. The
director and manager accompanies the
artists on piano harmonium and the
perfection with which each bird sings
his part, and the excellence of the
chorus, are prodigious. The debut of
this lyrico -ornithological company in
=" Norma" was attended by the wealth
and fashion Of Lima. When the parro-
quet that sang the contralto finished
the allegro in the Salutation to the
Moon" such was the enthusiasm, the
shouting and the applause at hearing
bird sing the Casta Diva, that the
bird company, affrlghted, took flight
and sought refuge among the side
scenes. This interrupted the perform
ance for fully quarter of an hour, and
Signor Contarini had to tranquilize the
"artists " by giving them bread
soaked in wine. Thenceforth the ex-
pressions of appreciation were moder-
ated, in order not to spoil the play. It
appears that the bird artists have now
become accustomed to the applause.
The correctness and propriety with
which they give certain parts of the
opera are wonderful. The primo
tenore possesses all the airs and graces
of the school of Mario, and the ladies
of Lima have named the prlma donna
Patti. At least, that is the story as
told by one of the Lima papers-peo-
pie who have any imagination to spare
will please accept this draft upon it.

A CONTRIBUTOR to the Albany Argus
says the sparrows are nothing but
little gamecocks, and that he has seen
them destroy the young of other birds.
It is true that they will fight with all
the singing birds, and they drive them
away, SO that for two years past scarce
ly robin or blue bird has been in
this vicinity. They are vicious little
creatures, and very selfish.

A CREW from Portuguese man-of-
war were rowing off Macao when their
boat was run into and sunk by Chi
nese boat. The Portuguese we're saved
and taken on board the Chinese boat,
when their officer demanded to be
rowed to the man-of-war. The Chi
nese declined to go to SO much trouble,
and the Portuguese tried to take forei-
BILE possession of the boat. There was
a bloody fight, ending in several on
each 81 lie being killed, and all the Por-
tuguese being brown overheard.

Old fine Waits.

After overhauling old records of the
British Post Office, the Pail Mall Ga
zette says: "-When we think of the
vast fleets of powerful steamers starting
every day, sometimes two day, for
America, it is certainly very striking
to learn that ninety years ago the mail
service was supplied by five packet
boats of 200 tons and thirty hands, es-
tablished between Falmouth and New
York, to sail from each side on the first
Wednesday of every MONTH French
packet-bo were to run on the third
Wednesday of every month, SO that our
merchants could send letters twice a
month. But then every letter sent by
France had to pass through Paris, so
that not a fortnight was saved. Great
difficulties were thrown in the way of all
people living on the Continent who
wanted to correspond by our packets,
for their letters must, coming or
going, be put under cover to some cor
respondent in London" No one, for
instance, living in Germany could have
correspondent with friend in America
unless he had known some one III Lon
don who would receive the letters each
way, and, paying the postage that had
already been incurred, forward them to
their ultimate destination. Curiously
enough, so late as the year 1S43, a
notice was issued by the Postmaster
General on the establishment of the
overland route to India, that persons
wishing to send letters by that route
to Australia must address them to an
Agent in India, who in turn must pay
the postage onwards, Within week,
however, the notice was withdrawn.
gne s.eneva Universal Exhibition.
The details for the great Universal
Exhl bition, to be held in Geneva in
1875, are nearly complete. The plan
for the building has been prepared by
M. Jules Chatron, the architect of the
Lyons Exhibition. The structure Will
occupy no less than 100000 square
metres, apart from 900, 900 reserved for
establishment. It will stand in a
matchless position, close upon the side
of the lake. It's galleries are intended
to radlate from a central cupola of
magnitude hitherto urequalled. In
the centre of this will rise mighty
column, from which the whole interior
of the edifice may be overlooked,
while exteriorly glorious scenic
panorama, dwarfng all she eff
forts of art and man-so says the
Patrie de Geneve-win expand.
Around are visible Lake Leman, in it's
full range, the Jura, the Swiss Alps,
and Mont Blanc, with myriads of ac-
cessories of lesser note. AS the public
high road will come between the build
ing and lake, it is proposed to connect
them by suspension-bridge, having
the aspect of triumphal arches, and
spanning down to jettles prepared for
the occasion. The structural plan en-
braces vast orchestral concert hall
capable of holding about four thou
sand musicians, and, moreover, a
colossal organ.

THF FARIBAULT COUNTY
TICKET.

In the press of other matter we have
neglected to notice the ticket nominal
ed in Faribault county on the LIST
inst. by the County Council of the
Patrons Of Husbandry. Having no
fear Of daddy Parsons before their
eyes, they concluded, not as Changers,
but as citizens, that the only way to
remedy evils was through the ballot
box; and they accordingly nominated
ticket for all the county Offices to be
elected this fall. We hear the whole
ticket highly spoken Of. We hope the
Anti-Monopolists, Liberals and Demo.
Gratis will all support it vigorously
The cause Of the Patrons is the cause
of all the people. Thomas George
ESQ, one of the candidates for the
House, is first class, honest and cner
getic man, and will make an excellent
representative. His colleague, Geo. A.
Barnes. Esq, bears the reputation Of a
true man. We hope they will both b.
elected by large majorities.

Window set it up while he was can
vassing the county; and that the pre-
tence of supporting Davis is all bosh,
to gain votes. For the truth of this
we pledge our honor.
Be not deceived. If you elect that
ticket you help re-elect Ramsey. Are
you ready to be delivered over to the
King Mcllrath. Window Press Ramsey
Ring Remember how you were sole
out for ''seed wheat" six years ago.
Be not fooled again. Do not elect any
man vino owes allegiance to the Repub
lican party. If YOU do he will go into
the Republican caucus, and he will thel
have to vote for Ramsey. Forewarnet

A CHAMPION KNAvE.

Jennison reiterates the threadbare
lie, which even Stebbins has abandoned,
that we received gift of stock of the
Hastings and Dakota Railroad. We
pronounce the charge a bare-faced,
bald-headed lie, and Jcnnison a bare
faced, acknowledgements of God S
holy truth.
he stock was voted to US and we
refused to receive it !; and the stock
books Of the company show that we
never touched it. This fact is so utter
" at variance with Jennison's instincts,
and his experience with his fellow office
holders Of the Republican party, that
his poor bcfudlled head has never re-
covered from the shock it gave him.
To think of railroad stock voted to a
man and he refuse to receive it,! Poor
Jennison's brain reels under the reali-
zation of a new conception.
