A pleasing feature of the above re-.
port, in the non report of any deaths
from small pox. From this fact, and
that there has been no cases reported to
the Board of Health for three weeks,
the people may breathe more freely,
now that the city is rid Of this loati
some disease but they should use I. "
utmost precaution to keep it away.

An EARLY MORNING ROBBERY.
A Horse, Wagon aud Harness BtO!.
Oh from u Atable This Morning,

About six o'clock this morning a
bold robbery WAS committed in Butch
ers alley, which runs Oft Second street
below Tatnall, back into the slaughter
houses, which surpasses any attempt at
robbery we have heard of in this city.
On visit to the stables this morning,by
u REPUBLICAN reporter, the following
facts were CLEANED. Thebutchers COM
monty called "kilIers" were at work ut
an early hour this morning up to about
half past five, when they lett the prem
ises 10 get their breakfast. When they
returned, they noticed that alksef doors
were wide open. Thinking something
was wrong, they took an OOServatson III
which they learned that robbery had
been perpetra!od during their absence.
A valuable horse belonging to Louis
Lee, butcher in Second street market
valued at $500, was missing. a FUR
ther examination revealed the fact that
the robber had also taken u dearbon
wagon and set of harness belonging
to Messrs VIM. Clavey and VIM. Lee,
also butchers in Second street market.
Not content with these articles, they
entered the slaughter house and stole
six large hides, valued at $50 or $50.
They hltched up the horse to the wagon,
loaded tho hides and drove out the back
way on to Tatnall street and down Tat
pall. He was seen by several persons
living in the vicinity, but nothing was
thought of it at the time, they lniStak-
ing MIN for a man who had a right
around the place.
Hei described as heavy set man
wearing souch hat. The whole trans
action happened at about six O'Clock,
and before the alarm could be given the
robber was probably several rules from
the city. As soon as the workmen re-
turned and found the horse and wagon
gone, they Immediately notified the par
ties, and also lodged information at the
Polio station. Chief of Police Maxwell
telegraphed to different points where tho
robber would most likely pass through.
1t is thought that he drove to Chesa-
peake City and from thence to Baltl-
more. He is thought to be a stranger
in this city.

eve are almost certain of victory and
the majority will be large; at least I
shall be very much deceived if such is
not the case"
xSenator Lewis said that he be-
lieved thai the denunciations of their
opponents by the Funders were a part
of the policy OF tne former designed. to
force the Read juster and Republican
candidates, especially the latter, into
some difficulty, simply for the purpose
of DISTINGUISHING them. He never
thought that General Malone would
fight Early, and for himself he had de-
termined not to take any notice Of such

much that she was compelled to stop,
