A BOLD ASSAULT.
Relieves an Old Gentleman Of His
Watch and Money.

Watch and Money.
An assault and robbery of almost IN.
paralleled boldness took place about 1870
o'clock yesterday morning. Isaac Freeze,
ST., an old gentleman residing at the corner
of Chapline and Twenty fourth streets
entered mis- yard at the hour named for the
purpose of gaining the house by the kitchen
door, when he vas suddenly bounced upon
by two blood-thirsty villains who had evil
IDENTIFY secreted themselves 10 await his
coming. One of the scouRdrels grasped
the old man by the throat and the other
gave him kick in the stomach, and throw
ing him 10 The brick pavement he was
quickly relieved of his gold watch aud
a pocket book containing one hundred and
thirty dollars.
Mr.. Freezes wife had not retired, aud
hearing groans issuing from the yard she
went to the kitchen door, and was just in
time to get a glimpse of the two men as
they beat hasty retreat She called her
son to her assistance. and Mr.. Freeze was
carried into the house and DR.. Alderman
summoned. The victim lay in a deathlike
stupoT for a long time, but finally regained
consciousness and gave an account of the
actions Of bis assailsnts and made known
the extent of his loss. The physician, after
a careful examination of the injuries, eJ-
pressed the opinion that they were not
likely to result seriously.
The police were endeayori to work up
this case yesterday, but had found no clue
TO the identity of the robbers

A down-the river paper tells the story OF
joke played on notion drummer from
Wheeling, a clever and witty Irishmau,
at Jackson Court House. he thought,

around, saw no horse convenient; but dis

by, he decided 10 borrow ii for the ride.
This was at first objected 10 by his friends,
but all to no effect, for he was bound TO
ride that Mule; so the Landlord seeing a
good opening for a Joke, told the Wheeling
boy, all right will fix the Mule for you
and you can ride it rs long and as far as
you want to- and | will be between you
and trouble" so the Landlord got
another bride. which had bit
broken in two and car efully tied it with a
paper string. then put il on the Mule, say

Wheeling boy was placed in the saddle and
handed the strings that guide the Internal

at lively rate, and had not gone far, when
he thought he would check up little; 50
he frightened up the rein little, which
caused the paper string on the bit, (which
was now wet, TO give way.
There the boy sat on the Mule, while all
there was Of him was fleeing and the
Landlord did loudly Shout: Stop the boy,
top the boy, let tue Mule GO
But the Landlord, he did shout
The Mule said, You git out"

Chicken Thteve. MAKE a Big HAM,

The chicken coop of Philo Kimberly,
over in Manchester, was raided by chicken
thieves on Sunday morning, and fifteen
were killed and carried away. Under sec
ton IL. chapter l4S, acts 'sl.s2, this is
burglary, and the punishment is from three
TO ten years in the penitentiary. Chicken
burglars, and all burglars, thieves and rob-
beers, should have their portion, where their
thieving propensities can't be INDUCED in
any more. II is probable the thieves who
raided Kimberly's coop will be cooped
themselves before this is in print.

Ticket No. 1854 drew the sl5. 900 prize in
the last monthly drawing OF the Louisiana
State Lottery, and the Allentown papers
say the ticket is held by J. Allen Schaefer,
bookseller and a wellknown business
man on Seventh stree t, that city, whs in
vested dollar in the scheme, thinking
never to hear from it again. Mr.. Schaeffer
received his first information through
the newspapers, which published the
numbers winning prizes on Wednesday.
The Item says: This is probably the
best investment he ever made. We have
heard of no one yet who begrudges him
the bonanza he has suddenly acquired,
only most people regret that they are not
privileged to enjoy a like fortune. Mr..
SChaeiijer has persevered and struggled in
his business, frequently against adverse cir
cumstances, but he kept pushing along
and succeeded in building up prosperous
trade. which, with a little more capital,
will be placed on a very substantial basis
1t is probable that the good luck Of the
Allentown man will have the effect OF
stirring mp the interest in the Louisiana
State Lottery already felt in this vicinity.
We frequently hear Of small gains, and
these have kept alive the desire on the part
Of many to invest Such a prize Is that
drawn by Mr.. Schaeffer will give new i'm

this past month has been very fatal. The

weather, has caused a great deal of lung
trouble There were twelve deaths from
pneumonia, two from bronchitis and nine
from consumption, making twenty-three

FATAL EFFECTS
Of the Unreasonable Weather OF
Spring.
Coupled With Damp celIars-fataIIty Of
Lung Diseases-Increass Of the
Death Rate.

The month Of March brought US variety
of weather, For the most part 1t was dark,
damp and disagreeable, but did bring one
or two exceptionally bright and pleasant
days, and TO those days many deaths may
be charged up. The contrast in weather
was striking and induced many persons to
commit imprudent acts in removing heavy
clothing and underwear. Just after two
very warm days in the early part Of the
month, il might have been noticed that
half the people enc met were sneezing and
shifting with colds and coughing with lung
troubles. The result is apparent in the
death roll.
When the February floods receded the
REGISTER cautioned people OF the necessity
of greater sanitary vigilance, as in the damp
trail of the flood lurked the seed of disease.
The water stood for days in many cellars,
and only withdrew 70 leave dampness
that has not yet disappeared. This cause OF
disease is also apparent in the death statis-
tics for for March.

dyy, which is as follows:

"Geologically speaking. the mountains Of
North Carolina are the Oldest in the world.
During the period of general uphesvals and
subsidences OF the crust of the earth, these
mountains were the only lands remaining
firm throughout above the surface Of the
ocean. Rocks of the Archean or earliest
age are exposed to view, and with their
edges turned at a high angle, lie upon
the beds of later periods of forma-
ton. 4he land is rich in picturesque
scenery, romantic rivers, luxuriant
forests, majestic mountain heights,
valleys of equisite beauty, quaint villages,
cliffs and waterfalls. 1t is rich in o life
giving climate: brilliant skies, fertile lands
pastured sleeps and timber and mineral
wealth."
