gag RogBEIY At DCFrIELDs.-On
Wednesday night of last week, the 3rd
of November, the store of Capt. j. S.
Melvin, at Dufields, was broken into
and robbed of several hundred dollars
worth of goods. The store was entered
by opening one of the front windows;
holes first being bored into the shutter
and then being pried open with a
plow coulter. The nj ght was very
dark, owing to DRILLING rain, which
afforded very good opportunity for
the robbers to accomplish their pur-
pose. AS near as can be estimated the
following articles were taken White
Blankets, Ladies Cloaks, two pieces Of
Mems Cashmere goods, Mems Black
Cloth Rea1y-made Clothing, Ladies
and Mems Gloves, Oreide Watch, La
dies Shoes and Mems Boots, and sundry
articles from the show case. A liberal
reward will be paid for the apprehen
sion of the robbers and the recovery of
the goods.

By GREAT MIsrAKE.-Our old and
esteemed friend Mr.. Jacob J. Miller,
near Kerneysville, called in to see us
on Tuesday morning last 10 know how
in the world We happened to make that
great mistake in our last issue, in get
ting our Giraffe upside down. All the
excuse we could make 70 him was that
it was not our fault but that the mistake

Hh5" The great contest is over, and the
Democracy is defeated; but not conquer,
e1. New York State did the work.
Had that State stood true, the Demo
Gratis would have been victorious. The
Republicans would have it, solid north
against y solid south; but such is not
the case. New Jersey, Delaware, and
Nevada, stand with the solid south, and
if John Kelly and Sammy Tilden would
have used their Influence, instead Of
throwing "cold water on the nomina-
ton of Hancock, the superb, he would
have been our President. New York is
to blame for all Of it.

Hsy- REDUCTION OF PASSENGER RATES.
Last Monday the Shenandoah Valley
Railroad Company adopted a new
schedule of passenger tariffs, making a
reduction of twenty-five per cent. from
that which prevailed previous TO that
time. The rate is now about three cents
a mile. The price Of tickets from Ha-
gerstown to st. James is zoe, to Grimes
25c., to Sharpsburg 3Oc., TO Shepherds
town Soc, to Shen. juno, 75c., and to
Charlestow n s1.0O. 1t is probable that
this great reduction will before long
materially increase travel over the road.
