Bronchitis and ConsumptiOn.
Letter from DR.. Crane.

HAL1FAA, n. 5.
JAMES l. FELLOWS, ESQ.
DEAR SIR: From general knowledge of the
prominent ingredients of your Compound Syrup
of Uypophosphites, | formed such favorable
opinion as to be induced to recommend it to my
patients as preferable, and more convenient than
my own prescriptions ofthe Hypophosphites. For
many cases with very beneficial results. Since,
upon solicitation you kindly afforded me more
intimate knowledge Of the composition Of your
Compound Syrup of IIypophosphites, have used
it freely in my practice, both in diseases of the
Chest, as Consumption and Bronchitis, ETC., and in
iufantile diseases of the prima ria, or Stomach
and Bowels, with eminent success, considering it
superior to any similar preparation yet offered to
the public. Thanking you for your kind infor-
nation, remain, yours truly,
CHANDLER CRANE, NJ. ID.

counter with RObpers.
4 desperate robbery was perpetra,ed in Bruins
wick, yesterday morning, about half past two
o'clock, causing quite ripple ofexcitement in the
village. Mr.. Richard T. ID. Mechcr, a man about
60 years of age, a we'll known and highly respect
ed citizen of the place, living with brother in
double tenement house on Main street, in the vi
cinity of the Colleges, was robbed of about $500
in money, together with valuable gold watch,
and also q silver watch. The robbers were two
masked men, who effected an entrance through a
window in the kitchen, VIII ch is situated in the
back part of the house. From the kitchen the
burglars passed through long entry to the dining
room, wh,n one Of them taking lamp from
stand, lighted it, and proceeded to the room oc-
cupied by Mr.. Melcher, the door of which opened
from the dining room. In his endeavors to secure
the valuables in the room, the robber disturbed
Mr.. Melcher, who sprang to his feet, and grasped
the hand of the burglar which contained the two
watches; but the fellow being too smart for him,
succeeded in evsdng his grasp; and throwing
handful of pepper into Melcher's eyes, completely
blinded him for the time being. The robber then
seized roll of bills containing 5000, which lay
upon the desk, and fed. He also took wallet
from his pants pocket, containing $40, and started
to leave the room. Mr.. Melcher, recovering his
presence of mind, followed him to the dining
room, grasped chair, and brought it down with
full force upon his head. But the second robber,
who had remained as watch in the kitchen, made
his appearance, and catching Mr.. NJ. by the
throat, placed his knee in the small of the back,
throwing him to the floor, where they left him in
an insensbe condition. They then made their
escape. The alarm was given Immediately by the
brother of the injured man. but the burglars made
their escape. Mr.. Melcher is hard working me-
chanic, and will feel this loss severely. It's earn
cstly hoped that the rufans will be captured.
Melcher is confined to his bed in consequence Of
injuries that he received. The selcctmcn of Bruins
wick offer reward Of $500 for the detection ard
conviction of the burglars.
