The circus pa vilion was completely crowded, and the 'proprietors paid our citizens the-WM-41i 'ment of furnishing ono of the-largest and Most orderly audiences they had been fa 'lzored with since' their outset. ' BOLD ROBBERY.—At LUtherSbUrg, on last Thursday night, a most daring — iiibberY 'was committed by some person or pers ms unknown, by entering the sleeping apart : nient of Benjamin Rush Bradford, . who was sojourning at the hotel of W. Moore, and abstracting from his pantaloons his Wallet, containing 215 in money; and ma caluabie papers. The room was situated %on the second story of the building, ard 'the entrance was effected through an open %window. No clue has yet been discovered 'of The perpetrators.

Cold weather succeeded the rain, and the ats Mosphere has felt for several 'clays as if we bad been "set back" somewhere in -March. Wirii. it.4 - 7-Last Mon !ay was a quite lively , any hr our town, well calculated to ro mind one of the commencement of a busy Court Neck ; and in fact we scarcely know how to account for the unusual crowd of people so early in the week until it occ:n•- red to us that it was the day uf:ou which the Treasurer made :iale of the lands of of delinquent tax-maters. Quite a number of tracts were sold during the afternoon, and the sales went c•if quite briskly. 2 ,k,..l)uring the late storm.: and rains our county not e , ,caped some little of the vast ruin and deva-itation which 11,1- been experienced in atm ist every part ,tf the country to a greater or hess extent.— In Brady township during tie week before last a number of min dams were torn away The barns of - Messrs.

Foreign Emigration. . We notice some time since the fact that 'there was a falling off in the emigration to this country from various quarters, es pecially from the continent of Europe. and 'gave the reasons for this decrease. We have . sin:ie learned that the average of -capital brought by the emigrants has much increased—the proportion of those 'irriv ing in comfortable pecuniary circumstances being much larger than in former years.— It is impossible to ascertain all the cash , resources of the emigrants, as many of them studiously conceal their treasure.— Thus on one occasion, the total report of capital among the passengers by a single ship was $32,500, but, amore thorough investigation having been called' for in' consequence& of circumstances connected with an Imbecile emigrant, the amount :actually counted exceeded $BOO,OOO and 'even this waSlnpre or teas below the true 'total. The passengers recently arrived by 'the Josephine fronf4ntwerp, numbering :About 260, brought, it is ascertained, some 'thing over half is 'million 'dollars ; and "enough is known to warrant the assertion - that, while the hard times have dimin'sh 'ed the number of emigrants from certain •distriets„ thei, have given us a far more prosperous and• thrifty ,class than have .been landed in sotne•former seasons. • Jourital of Csommeree: al or of `°'tns of Tlek-The meanest style of stealing,dint we have 'noticed It ryas invented by a New Yotk rascal, Whopossessed iiiinself of one of the subscription . books of !Jul House of the Priendleas, and went about collecting money from the charitable.— The wretch who would do that would - teal the elop from ti blind pig, wsma===:== lEDkTolts'rh I t7":777 - • _ , desire- 14,,an.!

The doctor, with the aid of several other gentlemen, removed ,her into_th_e_hicties saloon, arid rendered all the assistance in their power, but without avail. She died before the train reached the city. SO sudden and unexpected was her death, that her own daughter did not realize the awful truth until some time afterwards, when Dr. Booth undertook the painful task of dis closing the dreadful fact to her, Upon the arrival of the train, the body of the de ceased was removed into the office of the company to await its removal to the house of her daughter, who resides in this city.
