THIEVING. —Wo had been in a great
measure free from thefts, except on a
small scale for sometime, hut of late
housebreaking has become quite com
mon by sundry candidates for the pen
itentiary. Nathan Kennedy's store
room was entered on Wednesday night
of last week and a quantity of linen,
muslin, some S7O in money, ifee. were
taken. Marks & Willis's Steam Mill,
M Atee's Lewistown Mill, Blymyer's
warehouse, Zerbe's store, and several
other places have also been visited by
the midnight gentry, apparently in
search of money. Suspicion rests up
on several parties, though so far no
clue has been obtained to warrant the
apprehension of any one.
Among the articles known to be ta
ken from Mr. Kennedy's store are the
following :
3 parts of piece? bleached muslin.
3 pieces of good Irish linen.
1 piece of white flannel, 13 or 14 yards.
4 pair of boots.
1 piece Kentucky jeans.
1 piece paper muslin, white.
A bank note believed to be on Jacksonville
hank. Na, which Mr. Kennedy signed as
President in je*t.
Two s'a on Northampton bank (broken).
Some 10's and s's Lewistown bank.
25 cent shinplaster of McVeytown borough
A liberal reward will be paid for
any information which will lead to the
recovery of the goods or conviction of
the thief or thieves.
Adams died in the Har
risburg Asylum on the 3d May, aged
57 years. She was well known in
this county as an inmate of the Alms '
House for many years, her mind hav- !
ing been affected with that insanity j
which at times manifested itself in an- i
ger and mischief, and at others in a j
courteous demeanor worthy of a refin j
ed lady. She was well informed, quick
at repartee and sarcasm, and hut for
her unfortunate malady might have
been an ornament in any household. !
Life's fitful fever o'er we trust she 4 !
sleeps well.
ACCIDENT —Two accidents and sev- i
era! narrow escapes have occurred at'
the first railroad bridge above town,'
where workmen are engaged in widen
ing the abutments preparatory to lay
ing a second track. Nicholas Lightner I
(not Nightbart as published last week) 1
had ltis leg broken on Saturday a week,
and since then a man from Mifflint'own
was killed by the windlass rope break
ing and a stone falling upon him.

It is believed that no securities off. r sogreatinduee-
I ments to lenders as the various descriptions of I*. S.
j Bonds. In all other forms of indebtedness, the faith
j or ability of private parties or stock companies or
I • separate communities only is pledged for payment,
1 | wnile for the debts of the I'nited States tho whole
J property of the country is holde.ti to .secure the pay
j merit of both principal and interest in coin,
j i bests Bonds may be. subscribed for in sums from
SSO up to any magnitude, on the same terms, ami are
thus made equally available to the smallest lender
and the largest capitalist. They can be converted
into money at any moment, and the holder will have
the benefit of the interest.
It may be useful to state in this connection that the
total Funded Debt of the I'nited States on which in
terest is payable in gold, on the 3d day of March. 1864,
was $708,'.(65,000. The interest on this debt for the
coming fiscal year will 1,0 £15.937,126, while the CO--
tonus revenue in gold for the current fiscal year,
cudtug June 3uth, 1864, has been so far at the of
1 over $100,000,000, per annum.
It will be seen tbat even the present g"hi revenues
of the Government arc largely in excess of the wants
of the Treasury for the payment of gold interest,
while the recent iuerease of the taritt'wi'l doubtless
I raisß the aiu.ual receipts from customs on the same
j amount ot importations, to $150,000,000 per annum.
Instructions to the National Banks acting as loan

THE RELIEF FUND,
IjMOR the information of all c mcorned, the
following regulations are made public:
Ist. In all cases a certificate of being cred
| ited to some district in Mifflin county must
accompany the application. This must be in
1 writing, either front the Adjutant General's
office, from a mustering officer, or a bounty
i committee.
2d. 'The application must state, bv endors- -
i nient at the head or on the back the name of
the soldier, his company and regiment.
3d. Two or three men ought not to act for
an entire bt-rmigh or tow nship in signing the
j certificate of recommendation as deserving
the relief.
4th. 'Twelve weeks pay. in three monthly
orders, is given, when all recent applications
| are discontinued. If a renewal is asked for,
the parties must apply to the Board of Re
j lief in person, or show positive evidence that
j they are in need.
i Justices of the Peace, bounty committees,
i and ail others making promises to soldiers or
j their families, will govern themselves by the
; above regulations, as I shall hereafter pay no
! attention to applications unless they conform
i to them, hut file them away for action by the
j Bourd of Relief.
i W here the papers are all right or approach
! iug the proper form, there is no difficulty in
i being placed on the list for twelve weeks, but
I so many of late have been informal—in mi
| ny cases leaving me to hunt up the necessary
j evidence of credit, &c.— that lam compelled
j to ask for more care.
