booker building, No. IS Madison street,
rs he stated, for the purpose Of opening
IN insurance Office, and put up sign,
W. Il. Parker & Co., and placed an old
desk and q few chairs in the rear part,
which has q back entrance through nh
alley by the First National Bank. This

srs oil the valuable packages, entered this

$40, ADDRESSED to W. Il. Parker 4 Co., No.
IS Madison street, sentfrom COlliCrsville,

There were two white men and three ne
groes standing behind the counter, and
brady presented his receipt book and at
the same time threw his pouch, contain
Ing q large number of money packages,
on the counter. AT this moment rope
was thrown around his neck, bag
thrown over his head, and he was beaten
until almost inscnSible. His cries soon
attracted a crowd, ns tho street was full
Of people, but tho robbers had secured
tho pouch and fled by a back door, and
up 10 this hOur have not been apprG-
hended, though the city Is being secured
by the police In search Of them. Brady
Is dangerously, II not fatally, injured. II
10 evident that the whole robbery Ind

to securing almost tho entire amount re.
CCived Saturday afternoon and yesterday.
The Express officers can not as get eSti-
mate tho amount lost. Fn'"

Ing crossed the river in a sklf' within
half an hour after the robbery was COM
mitted and are now IN the C0nebrakes In
tho bottom. Brady, tho messenger, though
severely beaten Is not dangerously injured.
II Is believcdtrom the sizc Of tho bludgeon
used that II was their intention to kill
him. The express officers decline to state
how much The robbers secured II Ia be.
lievcd to have been large. Mr.. Loop,
cashier Of the company, has offered re.
ward Of one thousand dollars for the APP
prehension Of the robbers, and men are
now securing the woods opposite the city

Friday, Oct. end, we had the pleasure of at
tending the afternoon, session of the fourth
annual meeting Of the Women's Foreign Mis-
sionary Society Of the Presbytery Of New
brunswick, at the above place.
The morning meeting, which was exclusively
for women, was said to have been extremely
interesting. Mrs. VIM. Swan, of Stockton,
was elected to preside and Mrs. P. I. Neyius,
of Pennington, was appointed temporary Sec
rotary, and there was a good attendance from
the various churches of the Presbytery inter
ested in this work. Addresses were made by
Mrs. r. r. Hsines, of Elizabeth, and Mrs.
M. G. Sheppard, Of Jersey City, both of whom
are Vice Presidents Of the. parent society. in
Philadelphia. These were very Interesting as
were also the reports of Mrs. A.. V. Van Fleet,
Secretary, and the Secretaries Of the societies
in the various churches.
About 81, 500 has been raised by means of
women's organizations in the Presbytery dur
ing the past year, besides what has been given
through the usual church collections.
After church--there was general meeting,
conducted by the pastor, Mr.. Hewitt, in which
Drs. G. w. Nassau, P. A. Studdiford, G.. s..
Mott and others took part, and DIR. Film
wood, of the Board of Missions, and Mr.
Chamberlain, from Brazil, made able adj
dresses.
Mount Airy was selected as the place of
next meeting. OBSERVER.

eB The extent and beauty Of the ground
laid out at Schenck's station, on the Philadel-
phia and New York railroad, for the trial of
reaping machines on exhibition at the Cen
tennial, can hardly be appreciated by those
who have not seen it. The enclosure contains
461 acres, with not tree or stump on the
ground. The wheat is put in, and the earth
SO thoroughly pulverized and leveled with
plows, harrows and rollers, that it looks more
as if il had been prepared tor great flower
garden than wheat field. A large amount
of the fertilizers used were contributed by
manufacturers, and applied in sections SO as
to afford an opportunity of testing the rela-
tive value of each kind in the 463 acre field
It has roads on three sides and plenty of good
water convenient, The east side has long
front on the Bristol turnpike alongside the
railroad, with the Newtowh stage road on the
north side and carriage road through a
grove of native trees down the bank of the
Neshaminy, and the picnic ground on the
west side. These approaches will afford a
favorite opportunity for large crowd to wit
ness the exhibition. Co. Intelligencer
