A Deadly Fight with Burglars.

Mr.. pohn p. NJ. Richards of the firm
OF John p. Moore's Sons, gunsmiihs,
has had an exciting encounter with two
burglars in his house, No. 3O5 East
Eighty-sixth street, New York, in
which he captured one and shot the
other dead. at o'clock P. NJ. he heard
noises down stairs and felt cold air as
il the front door we're open. He seized
a seven. chambered revolver and went
down stairs. On his way he could
see that the front parlor door and the
vestibule door we're both open, and by
the light which streamed into the front
room from the street lamps on the side
walk he saw two men at the wardrobe
busily emptying it of its contents. A
pile of clothing already taken out lay at
the parlor door. The thieves heard the
footsteps of Mr.. Richards as he reached
the space between the rooms, and both
made bolt for the rear windows of the
back parlor. Mr.. Richards fired three
shots at one of the thieves, who, after
finding that he could not open the
blinds, turned and ran toward him. Mr..
Richards then fired the fourth shot,
striking the thief In the left breast and
killing him instantly. The other thief
surrendered, and soon after Captain
Robbins and other policemen arrived.
The prisoner and the body of his ac-
complice were removed to the station
house. The dead man was found to be
Timothy Casey, aged twenty-five years,
of Ninety second street, between Second
and Third avenues. He was known tc
tue police of the Twenty-third precinct
as sneak-thief who was out on 81 00(
bail for burglary committed in Madi
son avenue several months ago. The
prisoner was recognized rs an ex- convic
named David Dargon, who pretends Il
he bricklayer. On the Goth of March
1876, Dargon pleaded guilty to charg'
of burglary committed at No. II Eas
Eighty-fifth street, and was sentenced
to State prison for term of two and
half years, which he served.
Coroner Ellinger was summoned an,
ct once discharged Mr.. Richards from
custody.

Not sxmnrnns. hnt the Disanse

1t would seem to be truth appreciable by all,
ami especially by professors of thu healing art
that to remove the disease not to alleviate its
symptoms, should be the chief aim Of medica-
ton. Yet in how many instances do we see
this truth admitted in theory, ignored in prac-
tioe. The reason that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters Is successful in so many ca 'es with
which remedies previously tried were made
quate to cope, is attributable to the fact that
it is medicine which reaches and removes the
causes of the various maladies to which it is
adapted. Indigestion, fever and ague, liver
complaint, govt, rheumatism, disorders Of the
bowels, urinary affections and other malsdies
are not palliated merely, but rooted out by 1t.
1t goes to the fountain head. II is really, not
nominally, a radical remedy; and it endows the
system with an amount OF vigor which is its
best protection against disease.

was blanket Indian, and spent most of his
time in the rural sports ofhis people,
without care for the morrow. Being
naturally gifted with intelligence, he res-
soned with himself, unaided By advice from
others, that he had at least the intellectual
advantages which would enable him to
emulate the white mans ways in good habits,
and he accordingly pushed forward to reach
that goal which would render himself and
family comfortable and happy. He has
now 100 head Of cattle besides mules and
horses; 40 acre, Of good land, adjoining the
agency, 20 of which are in corn; . good
house, barn and we'll. In consequence of
