Honor Among/ Thieves— A Clerk Travels
Tlye TnOnsanfl Miles to Restore Stolen
Goods.
. [F-roratlie Wheeling Register, Dec- 22.]
* Ourreaders will remember the account
We last summer published of-the heavy
swindling operations in Washington,
Pa.pof a young map namedA. B. Craig,
who was detected stealing from the
drawerof Messrs. Chambers&Matthews,
by whom he was employed, and made
to.disgorge some five thousand dollars,
which he confessed to have taken from
the “ till” of that firm, and from Mr.
V. Harding, by whom he was also em
ployed. From the time he was relieved
of his ill-gotten money, until a short
time ago, nothing was known of his
whereabouts j but a few. days since Mr.
Harding received a letter from Craig,
dated at Wheeling, in which that “hope
ful" stated thathe was tick, and request
ed Mr. Harding to visit him, as, he had
further developments to make. The
gentleman addressed at once came to
this city, and found Craig, as represent
ed, who stated that, after l'eavingjWash
ington, he had'gone to California, but
that his conscience reproached him so
severely for his dishonesty that he
could “ neither eat nor sleep," and after
remaining in California 'a few days,
took asteamer and returned, determined
to make full restitution of all the money
hehadstolen. HetheugaveMr.Harding
thirty-five hundred dollars, which he
said he had taken from him also one
thousand dollars for Chambers & Mat
. thews and one thousand dollars for Mr.'
Isaac Beeson, of U n ion to wn ,by whom he
had been employed, and from whose
drawer he had pilfered before. Thus
this drawer-tliief restored nine thou
sand five hundreddollars, which he had
taken almost without being suspected,
and at the same time restored quite a
valuable package of goods, consisting of
dress patterns, shawls, «scc., which . lie
had slipped off at various times. It is
probable that the whole amount taken
will fall little short of ten thousand dol-'
laTs.
When Craig went to California, he
sold Ills government bonds for gold,
which he sold in New York; upon his
return, for currency, realizing sufficient
in profit to pay the expenses of his jour
. ney/and enabling him to make a lull
return of every dollar, as he states, that
he had taken.
Taking the case altogether, the syste
matic dishonesty which he practiced
for years, the boldness with which he
invested the money taken, his Hying to
a distant region to elude pursuit and
punishment, and his immediate return
to restore all, it is a most extraordinary
one, not only in regard to the boldness
with which the stealing Was done,
hut as illustrating the power of con
science over a systematic thief, forcing
him to travel hack from the Pacific
oJean, a distance of inany thousand
miles, to relieve his pocket and his con
science lit the same time.
At the late election in Nevada there
were only about 11,1)00 votes polled. The
previous year there were 10,542 votes
cast. From this—even presuming that
there was notafullvoteout—itisargued
that Nevada is going rapidly 1 down hill.
In fact a correspondent in that region
states such to be the fa?Tt. He says :
“ The collapse in the raining excite
ment has sent everybody out who could
get out, and the country is going down
hill as fast as possible. Business has
died out, the people are leaving, ami
property in the towns cannot he given
away. The lew miserable persons who
cling to the barren -deserts of the * Sage
Brush State’ are sick wigli unto death
of supporting the dignity of a
State government, and it would not
astonish any one if the coming Legisla
ture should conclude to make the State
a territory once more. The mines ore
owned by great corporations—not one
in a hundred of tho stockholders being
resident there, and about the only bene
fit they are to the country is in their
giving employment To a large number
,oflaboringmeii. "Therearesomevalleys
favorable to agriculture ; hut by far the
greatest portion of the land is barren-,
covered only with sagebrush andalkali."

gHOCJbUNG ACCIDENTS.
MANY KILLED AND A LARGE NUMBER
WOUNDED.
Over two hundred accidents from kicking
and running away of horses occurred during
the past year, in Lancaster county alone—
nearly all or which resulted in injuring the
drivers, killing some, maiming and wounding
others, and in most cases, breaking costly car
riages and burling the hors s.
Of the above, nine-tenths were tame family
horses. The Safety Bridle will put an end to
all such needless accidents, and with the Safety
Lines the speed of ever, horse is easily much
increased.
At a special meeting of the Saddlers of Lan
caster county, Pa., held in Lancaster city, Nov.
27, 1W55, the following resolutions were unani
miously adop ed :
Whereas, The usefulness, power and safety
ofJDr.piartman’s Safety Bridle and Lines have
been publicly demonstrated in the presence of
from one thousand to flf een hundred persons
to their entire satisfaction ; and since it was
proven at the Ml lersville horse exhibition on
lour of the most vicious and confirmed kickers
and runaways' that with the Safety Bridle and
Lines it is utterly impossible for a horseeither
to kick or run away;
Resolved, That we, the Saddle rs of Lancaster
county, Pa., believe that the Safety Bridle and
Lines accomplish all, and even more, f an is
claimed by the patentee, in preventing horses
from kicking and runningaway.
Resolved, That in view of the above facts, we
deem it our legitimate duty, both individu lly
and collectively, to exert all honorable means
to at ouce introduce the Bridle and Lines, be
cause in doing so we in a very great measure
prevent all accidents with horse, while with
the old and defective briule we put ill great
Jeopardy both lile aud limb.
Resolved, That hcrealter we manufacture no
other but Safety Bridles, unle.-s especially or
dered.
The price of Individual Rights is So each ;
County Rights, from SIUU.OO to 5500.U0, according
to population—those containing .arge cities
excepted.
No other investment before the public pre
sents such inducements of making money. In
ever county there are at 1 ast twenty town
ships, aud in each towuship t least one hun
dred persons who drive hoi ses—which a five
dollars fur an individual right will amount to
SoOO per towuship, and ten thousand doi ars
(SiU.OOOj for each couuty at the rate of twenty
townships at five hundred dollars each 1 I;have
not the least doubt hut that amount of money
can be made out of a county with proper busi
ness tact and‘"euergy. The price of counties is
so small as to p.ace the investment in the
hands of every one, lor few are so poor as to be
unable to raise one hundred dodars.
Another feature about this invention Is that
the proprietor of territory need not manufac
ture the bridles and lines, asflErfe ordinary bridle
can lie easily alt red into a Safety. The lines
only require'to lie made to order, aud these can
be made by any saddler for a trifle more
than the ordinary lines. Hence, unlike oilier
patents, the right'to use it only is sold
No man nee*i wish for a greater f riunethan
right of a State*. To show the eoufideuce
the patentee has in his invention, he otters to
pay one thousand dollars for any horse that
can either kick or run away when under t lie
influence of the Safety Brid e and Lines. For
Couuty and State rights address for circular,
andifor Individual Rights, enclose $5 to S. B.

That this Bitters is not A Icoholic, contains no Rut

is'the best Tonic in the World
READ WHO 8 A Y 8 SO
From Rev. W. I). Seigfried, Pastor of Twelft
Baptist Church, Philadelphia.
Gentlemen:—l have recently been laboring
under the distressing (‘fleets of indigestion, ac
companied by a prostration of the nervous sys
tem. Numerous remedies were recommended
by friends, and some of them tested, but with
out relief. Your Huotland’s German Bittirs
were recommended by persons who had tried
them, and whose favorable mention of thfcso
Billers induced me to try them. I must con
fess that I nad an aversion to Patent Medicines
from the “thousand and one" quack "Bit
ters,” whose only aim seems to be to palm ol£
sweetened and drugged liquor upon the com
munity In a sly way, and the tendency of
which, I fear, is to make many a confirmed
drunkard. Upon learning that yours was
really a medicinal preparation I took it with
happy effect. Its action, not only upon the
stomach, but upon the nervous system, was
prompt and gratifying. I feel that I have de
rived great and permanent benefit from the
use of a few bottles.
Very respectfully vours,
W. D. SEIGFRIED,
No. 2.51 Shackamaxon Street.
From the Rev. E. D. Fendall, Assistant Editor
Christian Chronicle, Philadelphia.
J have derived decided benefit from the use
of Hootland’s German Hitters, and leel It my
Erivilege to recommend them as a most valua
le tonic, to all who are suffering from gen
eral debility or from diseases arising from de
rangement of the liver. J
Yours truly,
E. D. FENDALL.
From Rev. D. Merrlge Pastor of the Passyunlc
Baptist Churcn, Philadelphia.
From the many respectable recommenda
tions given t# Dr. Hoolland's‘German Bitters,
I was Induced to give them a trial. Alter
using several bottles I found them to be agood
remedy for debility, aud a most excellent Louie
for the stomach.
From Rev. Wm. Smith, formerly Pastor of the
Vincenttown and Millville ;N. J.) Baptist
Churches.
Having used in my family a number of bot
tles of your Hootland's German Bitters, j have
to say that I regard them as an excellent med
icine, specially adapted to remove the diseases
they are recommended lor. They strengthen
and invigorate the system when debilitated,
and ure useful in disorders of the liver, loss of
appi tlte, &c. I have also recorn mended them
to several of my friends, who have tried them,
and found tnem greatly beneficial in the resto
ration of health.
Yours truly,

I have known Hootland's German Bitters
favorably fbr a number of years’ I have used
them in my own family, and have been so
pleased with th**ir effects, that I was induced
to recommend them to many others, and know
that they have operated In a striklugly benefi
cial muuner. I take great pleasure in thus
publicly proclaiming this fact, and calling the
attention of those ulfilcled with the diseases for
which they are recommended, to these Bitters,
knowing Irom experience that iny recommen
dation will be sustained. Idothismorecheer

From Rev. J. Newton Brown, D. I)., Editor of
the Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge and
Christian Chronicle, Philadelphi .
Although not disposed to favor or recom
mend Patent Medicines In general, through
distrust of Lheir ingredients and efi'ects, I yet
know of no sufficient reasons why a man may
not testify to the benefits he believes himself to
have received from any simple preparation, in
the hope that he may thus contribute to the
benefit of others.
I do this the more readily In regard to Hoof
land's German Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M.
Jackson, 01 this city, because 1 was prejudiced
against them for many years under the im
pression that they were chiefly an alcoholic
mixture. I am indebted to my friend. Robert
Shoemaker, Esq., for the removal of this preju
dice by proper tests and for encourugeinentto
try them when suffering from great and long
continued debllitv. The use of three bottles ol
these Bitters at the beginning of the present
year was followed by evident relief and restor
ation to a degree of bodllj* and mental vigor
which I had not felt for six months before, and
had almost despaired of regaining. I therefore
thank God and my friend directing tne to the
nse of them. J. NEWTON^IURIWN^
From the Rev. Tnos. Winter. D. D., Pastor of
Roxborough Baptist Church.
Dear Sir : I feel ltdue to your excellent prep
aration, Hoofland’s German Bitters, to aud
ray testimony to the deserved reputation it has
obtained. I have for years, at times, been
troubled with great disorder in my head and
nervous system. I was advised by a friend to
try a bottle of your German Bitters. I did so.
and have experienced great aud unexpected
relief; my health has been very materially
benefitted. I conflden ly recommend the arti
cle where I meet with cases similar to my own,
and have-been assured by many of their good
effects. Respectfully yours,
T. WINTER, Roxborough. Pa.
From Rev. J. S. Herman, of the German Re
formed Church, Kutztown, Berks County, Pa.
Respected Sir: I have been troubled with
Dyspepsia nearly twenty years, and have nev
~er used anj r medicine that did so much good as
Hootland’s Bitters. lam very much Improved
In health, after having taken five bottles.
Yours with respect. J. S. HERMAN.
