The mystery surrounding the robbery
of the National Bank of Commerce in
New London. Conn, Tuesday night is dis
PEELED by the confession of George c.
Packer one of the tellers of the institution,
who has made a full confession and re-
stored the stolen 81 800 to it's owners
The circumstances attending the robbery
pointed directly to some one of the en-
ployes of the bank as the gnilty party
The banking room is on the first floor
the building in which it is so located, and
back window was left open as if the
thieves had effected ingress and egress in
that manner. But, though the mud un-
der the window was several inches deep
no footprints were discernible there, and
it was not easy to see how that window
could have been used without any tracks
being visible. The burglary was commit
ted in the light of full moon in the CEN
tre Of the city, with lights and windows
everywhere The absence Of tracks in the
mud under the open window, the fact that
the safe door was opened without injury
or violence and by the regular combina-
tion and the singular anticipation by only
three days of the arrival OF chronometer
lock previously ordered, raised an uncom-
Portable suspicion that the thieves were
no common robbers, and possessed more
of certain kind Of knowledge than pro-
tessional burglars ordinarily would. More
over, the neatness of the bank floor, the
absence of tools, and the failure of any one
in the vicinity to hear any sound, made
the affair exceedingly enigmatical. The
combinations of the locks were known to
only Teller Packer and the cashier, a man
OF high character, so there was nothing
left tor the guilty party to do but to con-
TESS his crime and give up his booty.

foul matter all testify who afflicted with Ca

danger of slgtfocation while lying down; to breathe

Astounding Postal Frauds.

The House Post Office Committee con-
tinue their investigation, and are securing
strong cumulative evidence showing gross
dishonesty and favoritism on the part Of
Creswell for certain contractors. In one
case, special agent, Mr.. Underwood, re-
ported against continuance of service, in
1874, on the route between Missouri, Mon.
tana, and Walla Walla, Washington Ter
ritory; whereupon his pay was reduced
and he was threatened with dismissal
Subsequently the Postmaster at Walla
Walla, Charles Moore, made similar re-
port, saying that the service cost the Gov
ernment $1,000 per letter, and he was
forthwith summarily dismissed and one
Gorman, an agent of the contractor, C. C.
Huntly was appointed in his stead. The
service was first let at $15, 100 per annum ;
the contractor failed and it was again let
for $4,000 to Huntly, and at various
times upon various pretexts it was in
creased to ST. POO, notwithstanding the
fact was well-known that the service was
unnecessary and unjustifable.

Centaur
!

So nearly perfect are the recipes of these wonder
full pain-soothng and healing Centaur I.nments,
that we can confidently say they will ALLEVIATE
ANY PAIN arising from flesh, bone or muscle de-
rangements. We do mot pretend that they will
mend abroken leg exterminate boils, but even in
such cases they will reduce the Inflammation and
stop the pain Nor guarantee the proper re-
suits where the body is poisoned by whskey. Tenn
perance is necessary to proper physical, as men
tai condition.
The WHITE CENTAUR LINIMENT is particu-
larly adapted to all cases of Rheumatism, Lumbago
Neuralgia, Erysipelas, Itch, Sprains, Chilbains,
Cuts, Bruises, Stings, Posons, Scalds, Scatca,
Weak Back, Pains in the side, Wounds, w eeping
Sinews, Burns Frosted Feet, Palsy Ear ache, Tooth
ache, Headache Ulcers, Old Sores, Broken Breasts.
Sore Nipples, Sore Throat, Group, Dipthera, etc,
The most of these complaints the Centaur Eminent
will cure all of them it will benefit. 1t will extract
the poison from bites and will cure burns and scads
without a scar. The following is but 81 sample of ii
thousand similar testimonials:
"ANTIoCH, Ill, Dee 1, 1871.
My wife has for a long time been terrible suf
ferer from Rheumatism. She has tried many physi-
clans and many remedies. The only thing which
has given her relief is Centaur Liniment. am
joiced to say this has cured her.

| 1t is an indisputable fact that the Centaur Iin
ments performing cures never before effected by
| any preparation in existence,-like Chronic Rheum-
atism Of thirty years standing, Strengthening fingers
and joints which had been stiff for six years taking
| the soreness from burns, &c.
One dollar, fifty cents invested in Cenaur

money paid for medical attendance. When physi
clans called they frequently this Linimen,
| and of course charge several prices for it.
The Yellow Centaur Liniment
is adapted to the tough skin, muscles and flesh of the
animal creation. Its effects upon severe Of
SPAWN, Sweeny, Wind Gall, Big Head and Poll Evil,

using the Centaur Linimcnt They pronounce it
superior to anything they have used. We sell
as high as tour to five dozen bottles per month to

| We have volumes of testimonials describing cures
of Sprains, Kicks, Calls, Poll-Evil, Big-Head and
