Another attempt was made on last
Friday to burglarize j. Cella's saloon on
the corner of Twentieth street and
Commercial avenue. Another pane OF
glass was cut out, and but for the fact
that Mr.. Celia had placed a shutter
against the window from the inside the
night previous, he would have been the
looser OF considerable amount of tobac.
co and cigars. The thief, after finding
his plans thwarted in this direction, en-
tered the back yard and carried off with
him what clothing lie could lind. lie
was seensleaving. the yard by passers'by
and recognized as the negro who but
lately stole kit Of mackerel from one
of our down town merchants. This
man has proven himself to be a danger
GUS man in our community, and the
officers should loose no time in bring
ing him TO griet.

THE REASONS WHY
All should Buy their Groceries from
PeItis e. Bird.

Below we give number OF reasons
why people should buy their groceries
from Pettis & Bird:
lst.-Because their stocks is the largest,
freshest and choicest in the city.
End. Because they sell goods of every
Kind cheaper than any other house in the
city.
3rd.--Because they deliver goods more
promptly and in better shape than any
other house in the city.
4th.-Bccause they keep the most COM
piete stock, and persons desiring TO
purchase lilTerent kinds OF goods are not
compelled to go elsewhere because
Messrs. y: & B. have not got the goods
they want.
These we consider substantial reasons
why our readers should buy their goods

HILL's MANUAL OF Social AND BUSINESS
FonMs. An agent is now canvassing Brattle-
boro for this work, which, on account Of its
remarkable conciseness and completeness,
seems to supply an actual want. A glance
shows the book to be a perfect cyclopedia of
social and business forms used in the every
day affair of life. The various chapters in
the book treat very completely and in detail
of the following subjects among many others :
Penmanship, fully illustrated, spelling pune
tuation, capitalization, composition etc, let
ter writing, with samples of 200 letters Of
correspondence of all kinds, ceremonial notes.
letters and invitations, commercial and legal
forms Of all kinds, shorthand writing, fully
illustrated, how to conduct public meetings
according to parliamentary rules, how to col
lect a debt, the language of flowers, family
records, statistical letters, tables of abbrevia-
tions, etc, etc The mechanical execution
of the work is excellent, and our readers will
find themselves repaid for giving the book a
careful examination

Between now and the first of January,
some sixteen millions of STANDARD dollars"
may be added to the seven millions already
lying in the Treasury vaults. The use of the
minted silver in payment of silver bullion
cannot check the irresistible gravtation of the
standard dollar toward the national money
chest The seller of silver bnllion of course
takes his dollars to the only profitable market
he can fnd-the importer, who can use them
in payment of duties. The greater the num-
Der of them which come into the market in
this way-or what is pretty much the same
thing, the greater the number of silver certif-
Gates secured by their deposit-the more slen-
der will become the stream of gold pouring
into the Treasury. When the premium on
legal tenders disappears, even that market
will be closed to the STANDARD dollar" and
the Treasury will be compelled to use it for
the payment of current expenses, or for the
redemption of bonds. II will then and then
only be ready to play the part in damaging
public credit, and driving gold out of the
country, which its opponents marked out for
it, and for which the fanatics and demagogues
who were responsible for its creation should
be held to very strict responsibility J..

The Rutland Herald is very prompt to call
attention to the ''stalwar" resolution adopted
by the First District Convention but i'll CIV
ing the nominations of the Windham County
Republican convention it has carefully opit-
ted mention of the fact that resolutions were
adopted strongly endorsing President Hayes
and the general policy of his administration.
And yet we suppose the Herald claims to he
n fair and candid journal and to give all the
news. We would also call the attention of
the Herald to the first resolution adopted by
the Franklin County Republican convention,
which declares that we should stand firm in
the support of the party principles and party
issues, as developed by the present admins
tration." Also to the second resolution adopt
ed by the late Republican convention in Gale

ventiOn take this opportunity to testify TO its
approval of the honest administration of the
government by President Hayes, and We
heartily commend his exertions to harmonic
sectional i'll feeling between the North and
the South, and to bring about reform in
civil service" We don't know how far the
suicidal policy of Submarines" finds active
support in the First District. but it is appa-
rent that it has but little foothOld in the Sec
