Last week we gave an account of the
robbery of the house of Isaac Reynolds,
ESD, near Rising Sun, by masked burglars,
who bound the inmates hand and foot
while they accomplished the robbery; Mr..
Reynolds son, one of the bound ones, had.
for long time, been suffering severely
with phthisic. We are informed that since
the night of the robbery he has been clear
of his old complaint. The extreme excite
ment, which he-an invalid necessarily
experienced under such circumstances,
seems to have worked an almost mracu-
lous cure.

How to foretel the weather by the
moon: Note what the state of the weather
is on the fifth day after new moon. If
it continues unchanged over the sixth day
it is eleven chances in twelve that it will
remain about the same until the next new
moon, or about that time. If the weather
on the sixth day after new moon should
be the same as on the fourth day, it is nine
chances in twelve that it will be the same
as on the fourth day for the entire moon
In counting for the fourth or sixth day, be
particular to begin at the exact time of the
new moon, and add three-quarters of an
hour to each day to make up the difference
between a solar and a lunar day.
