Robbery.

The gun store Of A. }, Vienna, on
Main street, was b~urglarized last night
and something aver 5000 worth of
pistols were stolen, mainly from the
show-windows. The proprietor is
inclined to believe that the thieves
entered through the cellar grating in
the rear Of the premises and that they
made their egress tbs same route or
through the cellar Of the next house.
There are other theories, however,
among the officials who have examined
the case. There is no doubt but that
the robbery was committed and that a
considerable quantity of shooting irons
have been carried of.

Southern Cedar.

New Orleans Democrat
Some years ago the exports Of cedar
from Louisiana was a large and profit
able trade. The wal and its conse-
quences averted the attention of the
people from that branch of industry,
and our cedar trees were left to grow
in all their natural luxurianco We
are glad to note that the old trade in
that article is about to be reopened.
The United States consul at Ham
burg, in his dispatch to the depart
ment of state Of September %, ISIS,
reports the arrival Of a vessel laden
with cedar wood from New Orleans,
aad cut on the banks Of the Missis-
sippi. This is believed to be the first
venture Of the kind. The consul sees
no reason why the cedar Of America
may not be in great demand in Europe
like the mahogany Of Brazil.

The Augusta (Ga.) Constituencies
says it is an encouraging fact that the
cotton sold in That city last week, as
compared with the corresponding week
Of last year, owing 70 the advance in
prices, makes a d~ifereneciu favor Of
tho planter of about one hundred
thousand dollars. The amount of
cotton sold in October thisyear in the
Southern States will net the producers
from eight to ten million dollars more
than the sales for October last year.
This is not from the larger sales, but
from the increased price for cotton.
