RoBBERy Ar HoFEwELL.---O Saturday
evening last, the residence Of Ephraim Stout
Esq, at Hopeweli, was entered by burglars,
ret. They eiEscted an entrance In the lower
part Of the house, and after going through
every available closet and drawer, they col
lected all the solid silverware in heap aht
bent, broke and twisted it into all kinds Of
distressing shapes and left it on the table
when they went away, perhaps imagining
1t was plated.
After destroying the silver they procured a
chisel from closet and pried open desk
Finding nothing to suit their fancy there, they
threw The. contents all over the 1piHpss In 4
cupboard over the desk was adecanter which
held about pint of peach brandy, which
had been there twenty seven years. The de-
canter can now be labelled, g Guzzled by
tramp robbers on August I'd, 1879, = FOR they
left notia drop for the stomatll ache.
All that they took with them ID the shape
of yaluables was about 81 in money and all
old fashioned silver watch.
The female Seminary opposite Mr.. Stout's
house was no doubt visited on the same night
by the same gang, as they tried the windows
at four different places and left one of them
open. They. were frightened, perhaps, by
Miss Boggs, who was moving about the house.
On the Friday evening before these affairs
came of, some unknown parties entered the
wagon house Of DR.. j. A. Miller, at the same
place, and stole muslin carriage cover, a lin

"A severe combat took place at Foran's
hotel in this city, on last Saturday afternoon.
1t appears that Stacy Pidcock and his broth
er got into dispute with Foran, and Foran
attacked Stacy with gun barrel, breaking
some of his ribs, and cutting and bruising
him very severely. He had to be carried
home and was considered in a dangerous con-
dition on Monday. Foran also received some
damage in the affray. 1t is unnecessary to say
that the stuff that helps business " was

"a correspondent of the Newark Press
gives the following account of what the
Greenbackers are doing in this city. He
says
:. We are now on the right track. Our peo-
pie here and vicinity are now taking about
200 newspapers and our committee on Ways
and Means are procuring this week for us H.
900 copies of Greenback documents. Our
club has weekly contribution and we are
thereby enabled to make the ball roll, and is
rolling, and will roll up a big vote, too. We
are all at work all the time, and find plenty to
do by way of making Greenbackers, while
other work is scarce, and prices for it ruin
ously low. Our weekly meetings are well
kept up all through the hot weather. We are
rather disposed to hold a meeting at Stock
ton, four miles above here. We will bring
this matter up at next regular meeting"

PICKING FEDERAL u URiES.

The packing Of jurci in the Federal
courts results of necessity from the opc-
ration of the infamous test oath law. The
effect Of that law is to coniino the draw
inc of Jurors to Il single political party,
aud that one a party which, i'll these
states ut least, can furnish very few per-
SONS honest enough and intelligent
enough to give fair and impartial YER
Dict The effect OF that law is to exclude
from the jury almost the entire white
population of the city of New Orleans. 1t
is to degrade the character of the Jnries;
to degrade the administration ofjusticc
to lessen the confidence which courts OF
Justice ought always to inspire III tho
public If only small number Of persons
were excluded isy this odious device, it
would still be q wide departure from the
principles Of civil liberty, rs understood
| in this, country, although its practical! re
| suits might not be co,lspicuously harmful
But, in fact, it excludes the masses of The
honest and Intelligent people of this
community, and enables Il partisan adj
ministlaton, urged by PARTISAN consplra
| tors, to arra'Gn theif po!lilcai opfohcli'' q
before Il ju' V constituted of political enc
mics of the accused persons. This is Wha
we mean by packing a jury. 1t Is pack
ing = jury by statute. 1t is packing ;
jury by tho operation of laws whicl
ought to protect the rights and the lib
berty of the citizen. 1t is worse THAI
pack;ng jury by means OF official 20"

YELLOW SPRINGS, SEWER Co., Tenn.
Mr.. EDITOR: I write you a short
note from this watering place,
which is one of the finest, as to
water, there is now known in the
State, for the improvement of
health and rest for the weary toiler.
These springs are now in good
Roadway, and are managed by Mes
srs. w. G. Fox and Ishmael P Patterson.
The hotel at this place is large
and commodious building, and two
hundred people can be taken care
of here in this mountainous place,
and we can justly boast of
our pure air and mountain
scenery above any other mineral
watering place in my knowledge.
[ would advise all who are afflicted or
worn down by labor to visit this
place and experience for themselves,
and will guarantee that satistac-
ton will be the result. We have

Poor Girls.

Unlike many foolish Christians,
the Jews teach their children, girls
as well as boys, some occupation by
which they may earn living. An
exchange ineulcates a similar prac-
tice upon all parents.
The poorest girls in the world are
those who have never been taught
to work. There are thousands of
them. Rich parents have petted
them; they have been taught to de-
spise labor, and are perfectly help
less. If misfortune comes upon
their friends, as it often does, their
case is hopeless. The most forlorn
and miserable woman upon earth
belong to this class. It belongs to pa
rents to protect their daughters from
this deplorable condition. They do
them a great wrong if they neglect
it. Every daughter ought to be
taught to earn her own living. The
rich as well as the poor, require
training. The wheel OF fortune rolls
swiftly round; the rich are very like
ly to become poor, and the poor rich.
Skilled to labor is no disadvantage
to the rich, and is indispensable to
the poor. Well.to-do parents must
educate their children to work. No
reform is more imperative than this.

Crops are looking better SINCE

Although corn and potatoes have

wheat is better in quality than We

expected by farmers that they will
realize fair price for their crop.
Politically the people are at rest
They are glad that Congress has
