BOLD ROBBERY. Thieves entered the
store OF Mr.. Hermann Schmidt. No. 502 east
Broad street. on Monday night about half.
past IL O'Clock. and while the amount stolen
was not large, the robbery was. considering
the circumstance decidedly daring one.
The clerks did not leave the store until
los O'Clock, and one Of them, Mr.. Charles
Wippcrmann. who sleeps over the store, re-
turned at a few minutes past II to lind that
the pldce had been robbed. Mr.. Schmidt
himself passed the store n little after | [
O'Clock, and another gentleman later, and
they both tried the door TO see il il was
locked-so that within the short time
the store was vacated the thieves did their
work. They effected an entrance by pry Ing
open the iron bars OF the office back win
dow, and probably sending through the
opening a 1.-THE form, vino unbolted the rear
doors and admitted the gang. The iron safe
was not molested. but they at once forced
open the money.drawer and took therefrOm
all the change il contained, amounting to
some SIS or $40. Some OF the money was
rare foreign coin which bad been purchased
from time TO time, and in addition thereto
they carried utf some counterfeit money
which had been thOugbtIessly taken in and
set aside. An Office sack.cOat OF Mr.
Schmidt's was lurloined, and this with the
money stolen is all that has been missed up
10 this time. The thieves were probably
frig htened of before they could carry off
substantial groceries.

tlOn and wants OF this numerous class, and. as a re-
suit of this effort, and practical knowledge obtained
In lifetime spent as a nurse and hyslciaa, she has

THE FORGERY CAsE.-In the Hastings
Court yesterday the case of the COmmor-
wealth Us. MannerSchmidt, indicted for
forging a certain deed. was called. The
counsel for the accused put in general
demurrer to the Indictment, which the
Court oyerruIed. A jury was then en-
paneIIed, and Mr.. B. II. Berry was put on
the stand, when the defence showed that
the indictment charged the forgery OF a
deed of release made by William and Cathe-
rine Kurg, while the name in the original
deed Of trust is William and Catherine
Krug, and on the ground OF such variance
objected TO the introduction Of the deed.
The Court sustained the objection, and Il
noile prOSequi was entered on that indict-
ment at the suggestion Of the Common
wealtb's Attorney, and the accused COM
mitted to jill until another could be pre-.
pared. The second indictment, which
charges Mrs. Mannerschmidt with forging
the name OF the notary TO the deed, was
not taken up.
No other business was done.
