The Bank Robbery.

The robbery Of Ream's Bank contin-
ues to be theme for general discussion
amongst our citizens, and of course there
are many theories abou. it-some being
that the robbers were new hands at the
business, and others that they were pro.
fessional bank burglars-but for all that
is definitely known concerning them, the
most of these conclusions are mere
guess-work.
A dispatch from Lancaster to the
Cincinnati Commercial of the 10Th,
does Mr.. Ream great injustice. The
writer, having heard rumor TO the eff
feet that the robbery was "put up job, /"
made haste to embody the same in dis
patch to paper of wide circulation,
without stopping to enquire whether it
had any foundation in fact-thus doing
man who has suffered very heavy
pecuniary loss, the additional injustice
Of imputing to him.a conspiracy to de.
spoil his customers.
A far as we can learn, there is moth
ing in this case that should warrant the
belief that it was other than a cleal
case Of robbery. Mr.. Ream could no
profit by "putting up the job" as he,ha
property sufficient, perhaps more thai
sufficient, to indemnify his depositors
Bank rohberies are by no means rar'
occurrences in this country, and we cal
see no reason why misfortune of thi
, kind befalling our village, should b.
looked upon with suspicion, or charac
terized a. ''put up job" To US, tn
wonder is that Ream's Bank has escape
80 long.
As to the assignment. Mr.. Ream wa
advised to take this step by his atterne
"A gentleman of unimpeachable inies
rity-and instead Of being a step tt
> ward intended fraud, will be the NEAR
: of properly appropristing all his asse
= to the indemnification of his deposition
against loss.
y In conclusion, we may state that v
IS are fully informed as to the general seI
Q timent Of this community touching Il
Q robbery; and we state, emphaticall
u that il is not the general opinion that
l. was "put up job" but on the contral
y it is generally credited that Mr.. Rea
d was the subject of boldly planned al
le skillfully executed robbery.

POETRY
COP BIEss rHE LITTLE CHILDREN.


God bless the little children,
We meet them everywhere
Their kindly hearts are swelling DER
With mirthfalness and glee
God bless the little children,
Wherever they may be
We meet them meath the Gypsy tents,
With visage swarth and lean.
And, eyes that sparkle as they gance
With roguery and fun
We find them fishing in the brook,
For minnows with pin.
Or creeping through the hazel bush
The linnets nest to find.
We meet them in the lordly hall
81 Their stately fathers pride
We meet them in the poor mans cot
lie has no wealth beside.
Along the eity's crowded street
They hurl the hoop or ball
We find them meath the paupers roof
The saddest sight of all.
For there they win no fathers love,
Nor mothers tender care
Their only friend is God above.
Who hears the orphans prayer
Bnt dressed in silks or draped in rags,
In childish grief or glee,
God bless the little children,
Wherever they may be-
