A short, stout man, with big
summer umbrella, sauntered slowly
down the vestible of the Metropoli-
tan Hotel. His ruddy face wore a
quizzical smile and short shaggy
beard Of grizzly hue, and his blue
eyes twinkled roguishly behind a
pair of dark spectacles. He was
particular about having a cool room
and mosquito netting over his bed,

he could have them to his heart
content, his little fat fist scratched

he ordered unlocked, and accompa-
MED the order with a threat to
mash the trunk to pieces if his COM
mand was not obeyed at once. A
daughter of Mr.. Wills unlocked
the trunk, and the robbers helped
themselves to its contents, carrying
off some $500 in silver and bank
notes. The thieves then left the
place going in the direction of
Madam's creek.
While the men were in the
house one of them was recognized
by young girl, who lives in the
family Of Mr.. Wills, as Henry
Nichols. With this clue, Mr..
Wills started out early Saturday
morning to discover the rogues,
and soon satisfied himself who they
were. He then swore out war
rant before Justice Tom Hall for
the arrest Of Henry Nichols, James
Meadows, Randall Abshur, John
Mccormick and John WINNER,
charging them with the crime.
The warrant was placed in the
hands of our vigilant Sheriff, M. V.
Galloway, and before midday Sun
day all the parties were in Jail.
About $500 was found on the per-
son of Nichols, Abshur and Vim
mer.
All the men arrested were ex-
amined on Tuesday before Justices
Hall and John auckland, and after
a hearing sent on to answer an in
dictment. Thompson & Peck and
Capt. Lowry appeared for the
prisoners, and the State was repre-
sented by the Prosecuting Attor-
ney.
This daring outrage should put
farmers and citizens generally on
their guard against keeping large
sums of money about their houses
to tempt the cupidity of thieves
and robbers. People who have
money for which they have no inn
mediate use had better put it in
bank or loan it out on good secur-
ity. 1t is bad plan to hoard UP
money, and bury it in old trunks
and boxes. Such practices help
to make hard times and tempt bad
men to commit crime. -MoaHtaUi

To PHYSICIANS.

We do not find fault, reproach or con-
denim the practice of any regular physi-
cian-this is not our mission--but we do
claim that if he were to add PERUNA to
his prescriptions, as directed in our book
on the a Ills of Life" land furnished graf
uitously by all druggistsl, he would cure
all his patients.
Mr.. Henry c. Reynolds, Ironton, Law

of them have been so varied that an at

The Philadelphia Times thinks it
"unkind of the business revival to
come before the Republicans are
ready for it." Since the Inaugural
ton of Democratic President the
entire political capital of that odor-
Gus and decrepit organization has
been reduced to the single senseless
cry of Democratic hard times. It
may be unkind to deprive the party
of this one political slogan, but we
very much fear that it will have to
go, along with the senseless CHATTER
about pensioning the rebels, putting
the negroes back into slavery, turn
ing the government over to British
free traders, and stuff of that sort
which we heard so much of a few
months ago. 1t is very proper that
hard times and the Radical party,
which have SO. long been intimately
associated, should disappear at the
same time and together. - Under.

PRESENCE OF MIND.

Necessity of Teaching Girls How to Be
C"ol-M nded-Hysterics and Injustice.
If boys require to be taught self-con
troll. doubly SO do girls. Having, by
nature. weaker nerves and more vivid
Imagination they shrink from pain,
suffering and danger utterly unintel-
ligible to their brothers. But the more
natural this shrinking is, the more
careful they should be taught to govern
it. Girls should acquire at least the
rudiments of nursing, and learn the
best and easiest attainable remedies for
the ordinary accidents of daily life, just
as certainly and as a matter OF course
as they are taught to sew and sto
read. Especially should quiet and cool
ness be impressed upon them. Calm
ness is not insensibi1ity, though many
people confound them. A girl is not
hard-hearted and unfeeling because she
can witness painful sights and it need
be lend steady, firm hand to the doc
tor or nurse. On the contrary, she
has usually twenty times the SYM
pathy and unselfsh kindness of that
delicate little damsel who has no COM
mand whatever over herself. and fills
the room with shrieks. winding up by
running away the very moment an ex-
ira hand might be useful. 1t may

bodies, who are so utterly useless at
any emergency, or, as their friends

bility" Chose who are not their friends

and 'thysterics'O, are generally selfish
and self-absorbed to a degree utterly
unintelligible to their mt " sober sis
tiers, who are taught to forget self and
control both mind and body by their
large-hearted sympathy with and COM
prehension of suffering. But the sick
room is not the only place where pres
ence OF mind is required. Scarcely a
day passes when we do not more or less
requ re it. Thank goodness, the mo-
ton that women should faint or go
into Mysteries for the smallest thing is
pretty well exploded still, even yet
the opposite lesson might be more
strongly inculcated. Toronto Globe.

SOOT.

| Its Value AS Plant Stinaulant-How It
| Should be Used.
SCOT is not used in gardens half so
much as it should be. In some respects
| it is better than any kind of artificial
| manure, inasmuch as it not only en-
riches the soil, but destroys many sorts
of insects-a very important matter
and a great gain. 1t may be dug into
ktchen-garden ground with much adj
vantage, and it may be also mixed with
soil for potting the ma; ority of plants.
We donot know any crop in the kitchen
garden that is not benefited by SCOT;
and in soil for onions. carrots and all
kinds of roots It is excellent. 1t is not,
however, lasting in its effects; any dug
into the soil now would be quite gone
by next year. but it is cheap and easily
obtained, and may be put on in quanti
ty annually. We never use it by meas
ure or weight, but spread good
sprinkling over the surface of the
ground, and dig it in sometimes with
farmyard manure and sometimes by it
self A quantity of it sown in drills
with potato sets prevents the tubers
from becoming worm-eaten. 1t can be
sown on the surface after the crops
appear. and if put on when rain is fall
ing it will soon be washed down to the
roots. This is a good way of APP
plying it. SCOT feeding imparts a
healthy deep green color to vegetation,
and then satisfactory returns are sure
to be the result. Plotting soil sprink1ed
with SCOT always remains free from
worms. and plants so treated always
assume bright, healthy appearance.
It may be sprinkled on the surface of
the pots and watered in. or better still,
given in the form of soot-water. Newly
potted plants and those with few roots
do not requ re it; but when the soil is
full of roots. soot-water proves ghly
beneficial. We water our pines, vines,
Strawberries, kidney beans, orchids.
pelargoniums. and every thing with it,
and value it highly. In some cases a
difficulty is experienced in getting SCOT
to mix with water. The best way is to
put SCOT in sack, tying up the mouth
of the bag; then put it into apail, cask
or tank, and the water will soon pene-
trate through the SCOT, making it into
a pulp, thus forming pure soot-water.
There is no time or season in particular
when SCOT water may be specially used,
as it may be given to fruiting and flow
ering plants all the year round. When
it is desired to make the foliage assume
a deep green, healthy color, or the
flowers brighter hue, judicious APP
plcations of soot-water will accom-
plish it better than anything else
