July 90, 1878.
Dear Dispatch: Weare having fine rains,
which insure good corn crop. The wheat
was above IN average yield, and the oats
promise well.
Last Thursday Mr.. Arch. Peery was shot
near Mercer Courthouse, West Virginia.
Mr.. Peery is n large cattle.dealer, and had
cattle upon Grange" in Mercer county.
lie had had several difficulties with men
whose cattle range upon the same land, and
had been warned often to take his cattle
away, and had as often refused to do so; and
it was in his cabin-yard upon the grange"
that he was approached from the
rear and shot in the back, the ball ten ding
toward the right shoulder. He laid in the
yard undiscovered from II a. N. Thursday
until A. N. the next day, and now lies in
very critical condition. MIR. Peery is
widely known in this county, and the brutal
and cowardly assault made upon him is
deeply regretted.
The "forcibles assembled, about dozen
strong, on the 9th instant, and sent dele
gates TO the WytheYille' Convention; but
we think we can rout any man they bring
out. i:.r A..

Remarkable Bank-Robbcry.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL, July 31.-A remarka-
BILE robbery occurred here last night in the
private bank OF L. L. Holmes. Bonds val
ued at $4,000 were carried of, and $4,000
in currency is missing. The rccord-book
in which the record of bonds was kept is
so badly mutilated that the bonds cannot he
described. They are OF the denomination
OF $3.50 and upwards, and payable to the
Bank of North America, New York, and as
they represent real-estate loans are mostly
not negotiable. The safe was opened by
the combination. which was supposed to be
known ouly to Holmes and clerk, who is
absent. There is no clue to the robbers.

Another Bold Robbery in the Cumber-
land Valley. II.

The Mechanicsburg (Pa.) Independent
Journal contains the following particulars
OF bold robbery: !,
SIN the last issue OF the Independent
Journal we chronicled the Eckert robbery,
and now, we have to record the particulars
OF another villainous exploit, which &C.
Cured Just one week later aud with nearly
identical circumstances. This time the vic
tim is Mr.. John BeltZhooyer. who resides
on his farm on the Yellow Brooches creek,
one and half miles east Of Boiling Springs,
in Cumberland county. He is something
over ninety years of his age, and his wife
nearly az old. This aged couple and a
maiden lady OF mature years were the only
inmates OF the house.
"On Monday night, the Goth, the old gem
tleman and lady, being both awake, heard
footsteps outside the house. The former
went down stairs to learn who was there,
when the door was burst in and he was
knocked down by a club in the hands OF
one of the burglars, OF whom it subsequent
" appeared there were two. They then en-
tered the bedroom, took cord from the
bed, and with it bound the maiden lady.
They then made Mrs. BeltZhoover get two
candles, insisting that they be new, whole
tallow candles, requiring her to hold one IN
each hand and to 60 with them through the
house. They searched everywhere, ran
sacking drawers and trunks, and throwing
things about Unfortunately. They found
800, which they carried away, taking no
other property. r
"Whle engaged in these operations one
OF them went into the room where the lady
who was bound was left, to see that she was
secure. Although she had worried her hands
elro wit IN nj
mind, held them in the position in which
the robbers left them when they tied her,
and they supposed she was still bound. Al.
ter he left she improved the opportunity to
slide quietly out OF the back door and alarm
the neighbors. The old gentleman lay
stunned and unconscious on the hall floor,
where he had been knocked down. Al.
though the neighbors are numerous and
close at hand, before any OF them could
come TO the rescue The robbers had left.
The night was dark and raining, but by the
aid OF lights it was possible to track the as
sailantS as far as the Harrisburg and Poto-
mac railroad. The impression on the mud
was clear and distinct, and showed that the
thieves bad on new and fashionable shoes.
son the premises was large and fero-
cious dog. who was stllled by some means
not yet explained. He made no. demonstra-
ton While the villains were at work OF when
they were leaving with their plumber. Mr..
Beltzhoover was seriously injured by the
blow from the club across the forehead.
The wound bled profusely, and serious con-
sequences are unprecedented from it. ! We
understand that he offers 800 reward for
the capture and conviction of the thieves.
The two men in many respects resemble the
most conspicuous actors in the Eckert rob.
berry, and are undoubtedly part of the
same gang. IT is to be hoped they will be
identified and punished" #&-.
