 --One section, comprising fourteen boats, of the Dardanelle pontoon bridge was swept out by the high water in the river Tuesday morning, and the river was not very high either.

 A bold nocturnal visitor called up. on several of our citizens last Thursday night between one and two o'clock and relieved some of them of all the loose change they had about their clothing. Dr. Hill, A. NJ. Bradley, J. l.. Shinn, and Judge Davis and perhaps others were the victims. Dr. Hill lost some- thing oyer five dollars, Mr. Bradley about ten dollars and Mir. Shinn less than dollar. Judge Davis lost nothing because he had nothing to lose; to quote his own language, when he Is out of his pants there is absolutely nothing in them. From other towns come reports of similar Yisitations and 1t IS far to conclude that this state, like Texas, is overrun with petty thieves whose night proving causes annoy anee and loss to the unsupeetIng. Plen- ty Of ammunition aud determination to use it should be included in the reserve of every well regulated family.
