WINTHROP, MEg July 23.-The rob
berry Of the Winthrop National Bank
occurred about 8 o'clock this morning
The bank Is situated on the second lloOl
Of a brick building. The safes were
blown open by nitro.glycerine, and there
were three distinct explosions all heard
by several people, The robbers left In
ten minutes after the last explosion
which blew out all the windows In the
front part OF the bank and caused a gen.
eral smash up inside. The contents OI
the main sale were SO badly mutilateL
and so many fragments left behind thai
that secured by the robbers could moi
have been large, The standing Of the banh
the Directors say will not be impaired
Fourmen have been arrested on suspicion
Of being the robbers.

Editors Of the IntellIgrRerr.
In my travels | have been over much
Of the county Of Taylor. The crop pros
pect is excellent; corn although getting
a late start has done, 30 far, remarkably
well, and now looks as II the yield would
be above the average. Oats are very
good. Hay will be almost or quite an
average crop. Potatoes and indeed all
vegetables are remarkably fine. The
wheat crop is the only failure Us crop;
some few fields however will yield fully a
half crop.
A furious wind and rain storm passed
over our county on Saturday last, doing
much mischiefin the way OF blowing down
corn, oats, grass Sc.
The collections OF Internal Revenue, in
the Is counties, composing the Second
Congressional District, for the fiscal
year, ending June 3Oth, 1875, was $22s,.
377 70, as shown by the books in the
collectors office. OF this amount 81 10000
was from whisky; $4,000 from tobacco,
and the balance from beer, banks, Penal
ties &c.
Three Of our prominent citizens made
n sale Of coal lands near Pennington tOthe
English Company few days since, the
sale amounted to some sixty or seventy
thousand dollars. Even with this addition
to "our circulating medium" every one
seems to complain Of hard times, although
It seems to me that we have much to be
thankful for,
The Valley river is 'on n regular old

large number Of saw logs, estimated at

The river is still rising, and logs are
