A Bold Robbery.

On Monday last some time about the
middle of the day. A pocketbook con
tanning negotiable paper to the amount
of between nine hundred and thousand
ollars, twenty-five to thirty dollars in
bank notes and cotton bag containing
Sc veral dollars in silver were distracted
from the drawer of desk in the office,
attached TO the piano and organ, ware
rooms of John Wilkinson on Main street,
in this town. The loss was discovered
about the middle of the afternoon, when
Mr.. Wilkinson having occasion TO open
the drawer found that the book and
money bag had been taken. Mr.. Will
kinson at once set about hunting uD
some clue upon which to begin search
for the robber. He found that at about
half past eleven o'clock that morning,
Mr.. Joshua NJ. Ash, stopped at the store
door as he was passing, ana looking in
saw strange man there. lie asked for
Mr.. Wilkinson but the stranger telling
him he was not in, he passed on, not
thinking of robbery, but supposlng the
stranger to be customer. 1t was also
discovered that the same man had been

A Varied Life.

Mrs. +. 5. Trusty who lives ON the
Wilmington Turnpike mile or two east
Of this town, has life history that
could by skillful hands be woven into a
veritabie romance. Her grand parents
Elijah johnson, and his wife with her
mother then a babe four months old
left New York for Liverpool. about
the year 1890 on the first ship that
sailed Tor that land. Her grand mother
died on the voyage, and johnson who
was preacher afterwards carried the
babe dashed to his back, as the Indians
carry their papoose, when he went out to
preach. being afraid to leave it at home
for ear of the savage natives with whom
the county was thickly peopled. His
son II. X. w. Johnson, is the present
President Of Liberia. The baby men
toned above grew to womans estate and
married Rev. John w. Roberts of the NJ.
+. Church, who afterwards become
Bishop of Liberia. They were Mrs
Trustys parents, and the mother is still
living in Liberia, at an advanced age.
J. 7. Roberts her fathers brother was
the first President of Liberia, a man
whose name was familiar in America
thirty-years ago. John w. Roberts,
Mrs. Trustys father sailed from Rich
mohd Va, for Liberia when quite lad.
Mrs. Trusty first married in Liberia, one
W. ,. Anderson, quite a prominent
citizen. lie was speaker of tho House
Of Representatives of that little Re
public. After his death she sailed for
America, arriving here in 1874. Her in
tent on was to return, but she met and
married Mr.. Trusty aud determined to
remain. She has crossed the ocean
going to and returning from Liberia,
seven OF eight times. She resided in
Liberia dur ing some of the most stirring
times VIII en- the savage natives gave the
Sc ttlers much trouble, and killed great
many of them. Mrs. Trusty is of light

Assault and Highway Robbers.

A vicious and murderous assault was
made on Mr.. George Dean, twin brother
of Mr. James Dean, of the firm of Dean K
Taylor Of this town, while on the way to
his fathers house, mile or two west OF
this place on the North East road on last
Wednesday night. Mr.. Dean left town
about nine o'clock that night to walk
out to his fathers. As he entered the
covered bridge across the Little Elk
creek at Cameron's mill he was seized
by two men, who attempted to throw
him down, saying as they grabbed him
we've got you this time damn you He
resisted them when one of them made
lunges at lin with knife Or other sharp
instrument, cutting him on the neck and
hand ana cutting the front of his coat in
several places. They finally overcame
him threw him down and bound him
fast hands and feet, and then riflsd his
pockets. Mr.. Dean had with him a
pocketbook containing about $40, and
i'll his pantaloons pocket $40 in silver.
lie had the presence of mind during the
struggle to drop the pocketbook. so
this the rascaS missed in the dark,
getting only the two dollars and a half
for their work. After they had con-
cluded their search for money they
dragged him to the side OF the bridge
out of the carriage way, aud left him
with the injunction to remain quiet, say
ing that if lie made any outcry within
half an hour they would ''cut his damned
head off, The ccrd used in binding
him was what is known as fodder yarn
made of hemp and tarred. Mr.. Dean
laid quiet for few moments and then
began the task of biting or chewing the
cord around his wrists in two, which he
succeeded IN accomplishing in about
twenty minutes. lie then unbound the
one about his ankles, felt around for and
recovered his pncketbook, and then has
tened to the house of Mr.. G. Cameron
at the mill, where he expected to fnI
some one or more persona 10 accompany
him in pursuit of the robbers. The men
of the house being in town, however, he
abandoned that idea and remained there
all night. Mr.. Dean says the two high,
waymen spoke distinct English without
foreign accent, but it was SO dark that
,, he could not tell whether they were
black or white, though he thinks they
| were the latter. This is the second time
he has been attacked in this bridge. The

The Morning Day Discontinued.

After an existence of one month the
Baltimore morning Day, published by
w. T. Croasdale and G. W. Cruikshank,
stepped off the stage of action on Tuesday
last. Mr.. Croasdale has also withdrawn
from connection with the paper, and il
will be issued as an afternoon penny
paper only, under the management of
Mr.. Cruikshauk alone. The reasons for
this summary extrnguishment OF tue
journals existence may be learned from
the following clipped from the last issue:
''rhe publication of the morning edition
of The DoY ceases with the present issue.
We have given Baltimore first-rate news
paper containing all the news of the day,
accompanied by full and fresh comments
and have continued TO do SO at great cost
for more than month. The response of
the people of the city has not been such as
to warrant us in continuing rate of en-
penditure necessary to the production of
such a paper, even if we We're possessed of
unlimited capital. We have acquired a
circulation of about 1000, and there j,
every indication that in the course OF year
we might increase this to 5000 or 10000
but meanwhile we should have sunk $780,
900 or 500, 600 and still have paper which
must for several years be run at loss
while our people were awakening to the
fact of its existence and concluding to give
it their advertising patronage. In the
matter of advertising we have practically
received no encouragement whatever In
order to cover space and curtail the ex-
penseS of composition we have sought adj
vertising at almost any price men could be
induced to give, and the result is that we
have scarcely obtained the third Of what we
need even on those conditions. There has
not been the sli ghtest disposition to adver-
tise for the sake of encouraging an enter
prise which Batimoreans have always pro-
tessed to desire, and no disposition to pay
even such rates as the paratively small
circu lation of the paper entitled it to. On
counting up the results of the months ex-
pertinent, we can see no reason why sane
men should continue it; and hence we bow
TO the stern logic Of experience, and with
draw the morning paper as a candidate for
public favor and support"

More Fish.

On Monday last Thomas Hughlett, DR.,
son o. ex-State Fish Commissioner
lIughlett, arrived here from Tuckahoe
creek, seven miles from Denton, Caroline
county, Md. and about seventeen from
Easton, Talbot county, with two cans.
containing 90, 900 each of white fish fry,
which were placed in the Wsstamwell
dam on Tuesday morning last The fish
were three weeks old, little fellows about
three quarters of an inch long, and as
thick as small darning- needle.
Mr.. IIughlett thinks this fish ought to
flourish in Westamwell dam, as the
water is much like lake water, from
which they come--clear and cold. 1t has
not the depth of the lakes, however, and
whether or not this will operate against
them remains to be seen. Near about
the same quantity of white fish fry were
put into this dam last spring, but no re-
suit has yet been discovered, except in
one instance-that was just after late
| freshet-a fish was found washed out
into the meadow that no one in the
neishborhood could identify. 1t was
about the size and much the shape of a
grown mill roach, except that instead of
being yellow, as they are. it was white;
aud it is now thought 1t was u young
white fish about nine months old.

are Matched are procured from the Mich

this treatment than any other. Mr..
Hughlett is the same gentleman who
made the exhibit of carp at our fair last
fall, and is a pleasant and urbane gentle
man, always ready and willing to impart
information in regard to fish culture.
The trout and land locked salmon fry
placed in perch creek year or so ago
have been heard from. A gentleman in
that vicinity recently saw some of the
fish, three or four inches in length;
whether they we're the trout or salmon
