The store Of e. Gray 6 Son, at JEFF
fersonYille, was entered by burglars
on Tuesday night, and their safe blown
open and robbed of its contents, con-
sistlng Of from 500 to 5000 in money,
and notes and other valuable papers.
The thieves effected an entrance by
forcing open a back door Of the store
room, and, without disturbing anything
else in the room, went to work at the
safe-a Halls patent fire and burglar
proof. They drilled a hole through the
outer door, just above the combination
lock, and inserted powder and blew it
open. The inner door was also blown
open, and the drawers, with their con-
tents, carried off. Persons passing the
store about one o'clock saw light in
the room, bat supposed one of the pro-
prietors was there. The report of the
explosion was heard by several persons,
who paid no attention to it at the time.
No clue has been obtained yet as to the
robbers. Messrs. Gray & Son offer
reward of 500 for their arrest and con-
victiOn. This is the third time the
same store has been burglarized within
a little over a year.

Regiment, composed of companies 10
Gated close to the vicinity of the mines,

Close Of The Loan.

The Loan Exhibition closed last Sat-
urday evening, having been open to
public patronage for three weeks. The
attendance on the closing evening was
very large, and the audience was agree
ably entertained with a choice pro-
gramme of vocal and instrumental
music by Mrs. Essie Wynkoop, of Lam
caster, and a number Of our home
musicians.
Rev. Mr., Carpenter, at the close of
the evenings entertainment, returned
thanks to the public for patronage and
assistance, and made a statement of the
financial success of the enterprise,
showing that the receipts up to Satur-
day morning were little short of $l400,
while the expenses would not probably
exceed $400. The receipts of Saturday
and evening would probably run the
total up to an amount that would leave
net balance of $1,000 or over, in the
church treasury, after paying all ex-
penses.
While the exhibition has been quite
profitable to the church, it has also been
decidedly satisfactory to the public, and
full value has been given for every
dollar received.

thought it well to periodic the literary work
by presenting you with these four volumes of
Plutarch's Lives.
You will please accept them at our hands.
We give them. not for their money value, but
for the gold OF thoughG they contain, we nave
not sought to find books with gay covers, but
we have looked up those suitable for service.
We know you will use them. We present them
to you because when in the retirement Of let
ters, you may call up and commune with the
honoTed circle Of great minds these volumes
present.
We give them to you as an index of the great
work you have done for us. You have, in some
degree, taught us the value Of literary wealth,
We believe that ere long in these schools there

much pleasure in reading these as we do in

criminal. in possession Of Captain
r. Semmes.
kW. B. SMITH, Captains Clerk.
Another autograph letter to Mr..
Beaver, which has also come into the
possession of Mr.. Boynton, is the fol
lowing, believed to have been written
on the same day as the one given
above:
"My pilot, Mohammed Monsens, was
terribly alarmed during the operation
of burning the enemy's ship,and fears,
as he says, that the yankees will do
him some injury upon his return to
Singapore, and has requested me to
drop you a line in his behalf. Quiet
the poor fellows fears, and tell him
that he has nothing to apprehend.
II hope you have had q merry
Christmas. This is my third away
from home, and you see how | am
compelled to spend them. Yours
truly, &c. "R. SEMMEs.
"Mr. II. r. BEAVER, Singapore"
After some further cruising in the
Indian ocean, during which he APP
piled the torch to many an American
ship, Semmes sailed around the cape
to Cherbourg harbOr, where he was
caught by the Kearsarge and chal-
lenged to the fight which ended in the
sinking of his vessel on June IS, 1864.
As an illustration OF the manner in
which Semmes was accustomed to act
in making his captures, Mr.. Boynton
exhibits the following clipping from
his diary of June IA, 1864, while in
the Indian ocean:
"As the Alabama was lazily drift
ing in a northeasterly direction near
the Malabar coast, a ship was discov-
cred running down toward her. The
useful decoy-the United States flag
was at once hoisted, and the same
colors we're at once run up by the
stranger. A gun brought the yankee
vessel to, and the Alabama forthwith
took possession of the Emma Jane, oil
Bath, Me-, bound from Bombay to
Amherst, and at half past s pm, the
prize was set fire to-"
The last words in Semmes' journal
were a eulogy of the flag of tho Ala
bama-"The meteor flag which shall
yet terrific burn"
Il had for a long time" Mr.. Boyn-
ton said, 'been DESTROYS of obtaining
this flag, which has cost the British
government so many millions, and
now that | have got it | don't think
| will ever part with it. Semmes lit
tie thought, when he stood upon the
deck Of his sinking vessel with the flag
in his pocket that it would one day be
the property Of a yankee and Mr..
BoyntOn laughed exultingly.

Austin Texas) Statesman
How about abolishing the courts +?
Currie, the murdered Of Porter, was
declared not guilty, on a plea Of in
sanity, which was never thought of in
the first trial, and which was resorted
to only after the court Of appeals had
reversed a finding Of murder in the
first degree, and when the defense had
failed on a plea of self-defense. The
courts, in this instance, it appears,
have absolutely retarded decision for
the defeat of justice. The acquittal
Of Currie will always be accepted,
abroad, as the deliberate result Of
delay in the interest of a man power
fully backed with friends and money.
