| bank. at Broadway and Blocker street, that which came near being successful at Dit mans last night is even more interesting, es-
 pecially so when it is learned what large
 haul they would have made had they not
 been frightened away by policeman. DitmRn's store is situated directly under
 the Astor House, on the corner of Barclay street and Broadway, and owing to the num-
 Der of doors and show windows offered 8 specially tempting bait, especially as the
 thieves had mysteriously learned that MT. Dit
 man had that day received very valu- able bale of goods from firm in this city.
 About half-past two this morning Police
 man Ahearn, of the Sixth precinct, thought
 he heard sounds issuing from Ditman's store,
 and peering in through the closed shutters,
 was mortified to see three men moving about
 inside by the dim light of 8 shaded candle. There being two doors, and fearing that he could not overpower all three men, he hast ened off to summon aid and soon returned with Policemen Smith and AcNulty. But
 too late: the thieves had flown, leaving the
 Barclay street door sjar.
 Rushing in, the three policemen found
 that the thieves had fled, leaving their booty in bags upon the store floor all ready to be re-
 moved Upon removing the bagRing they
 found over five gross of Scotch Oats Es-
 sence, the greatest known nerve tonic and
 brain invigorant. Everyone knows the value
 of this great remedy in paralysis, nervous
 exhaustion, neuralgia, hysteria, opium habit and alcoholism. but great and good as it is,
 it is the first instance in which men have
 risked their lives to get it. Any honest man
 need not steal it, for it costs but one dollar
 per bottle anywhere.-New York Paper.

Q onlld " as Saved ]!

CrcERo. HAMILTON Co.,, IxD., Sept. 1s. 1ss7.- The following is a true account of what your s. s. s. has dono for our little daughter. Hazel, now four years old. When 12 months old c Hump appeared on her heel, which slowly grew larger. The family physician thought it was caused by a piece of broken glass or needle, but failed to bring anything to light. The child became feebler all the time, seeming to lose the use of her leg, and finally quit walk -fEg entirely. The middle finger and thumb of either hand became enlarged, the flesh be- coming hard. The hip joints became involv. ed, so that when seventeen months old she could not stand, having lost the use of leg and arm. Partial curvature of the spine also followed. The nervous system was wrecked, muscles contracted, and there was general wasting of flesh and mRscle. At eighteen months of age she was placed under the treatment of prominent physician of Bos- - ton, Mass, but at the end of ten months she had declined to such degree that she was in dying condition. This was in April, 1866. We took the child away not knowing what to do. In this dreadful dilemma we were overpersuaded by friends to try "one bot tie" of SwIFT's SPECIFIC, which we did, and before 1t had all been taken we saw change for the better in her symptoms. We kept 1t up, and have dore SO to this day, and will keep it up, if the Lord wills, for many days to come, for it has brought our dying Hazel to life, to vigor, to strength and health again. The ashen hue of her cheeks has changed to arosy tint. She is able to walk anywhere. her languor and melancholy have passed away, and she is now a blithe, cheerful, hap py romping child. Should you wish to in- crease your testimonials of proof of the virtue of s. s. S., our names and what we have said is but portion of what we owe to you, should you wish to use them.
