ARRKBT or ROBBERS. —Most of onr roaderß
will remember the robbery of tbe Howard Express
company's safe at this place a little more than a
year ago. The amount taken was nearly $lB,OOO,
and created quite a stir at the time. Detectives
were set on the track of the robbers, and for many
long weary months the pursuit was continued, un
til they were found at Laporte, Indiana. Mr. Brew
ster Long was telegraphed to, and last week re
paired to Chicago, where he identified the men as
two who had registered their names us Cromwell j
and Davis during their stay at the Troy House.— j
Mr. Park, the agent of the company, received a 1
telegram announcing the discovery of $5,000 of the j
bonds and some of the money. He made a requis- j
ition on the Governor, and the robbers will proba- !
bly be brought to town some time next week for
trial.—Troy Gatette.

A BIG BEAR STORY. —The Elmira Adverti
ser tells the following huge bear story :
* "The other day a party of four hunters went
out sporting from Crescent, a station on the North
ern Central, between here and Williamsport Af- I
ter reaching the mountain they decided to separate
in search of game, the discharge of a gun being
the rallying signal, should one need the assistance
of the rest. One of the four, William Godcharles,
in hi* peregrinations, came across the opening of
what seemed a den, amid some rocks. He boldly
entered in, and about the same time was rather
rudely thrust back and out by an enormous black
bear, which resented intrusion by at once showing
fight. Having his gun loaded and pointed in
front, be at once discharged its contents, which
took effect in the head of the bear and killed it in
stantly, fortunately for his future comfort and safe
ty about which he began to have serious doubts.—
The noise of the firing bro't his companions quickly
to the spot They at once went to work and skin
ned and dressed the animal and started home with
what meat they could oarrv. When well on their
way, they bethought themselves that likely the den
might be a wintering place for bears, and possibly
there were more to be found. So they trudged
back and put their guns in order, and entered, and
succeed in stampeding three more bears, which
showed good pluck, but at length were compelled
to yield to the superior prowess of the hunters.
They secured the trophies of their day's sport and
proceeded home without further hindrance, and
showed the evidences of the hot work they had
encountered with four black bears.

THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN. —We are HAPPY
to learn that this valuable journal of science and
mechanics is to be greatly enlarged with the com
mencement of the forthcoming volume, in Janua
ry next. It will then te equal in size to some of
the English scientific journals that cost $7 per an
num. The subscription price will remain as here
tofore, at $3 per year, though the additional year
ly expense to the publishers will exceed $15,000.
This is already the most valuable scientific journal
in the country, and the improvement determined
upon will make it the first in the world. Mechan
ics, manufacturers, inventors, engineers, agricul
turists, teachers of science, end every intelligent
man, of whatever occupation, will realize benefits
many time* exceeding its cost from the informa
tion to be obtained from it. We hope to learn
that it* circulation has reached a million of c opies
before the close of the year. It is handsomely il
lustrated, and the numbers for a year will make a
handsome volume of 832 pages. Specimen num
bers sent free, also a pamphlet of advice to inven
tors. Address Mann A Co., No. 37 I'ark Row,

BURGLARY. —Iu "the wee short hours ayont
the twal" of Wednesday night last week, some fel
low or fellows clandestinely borrowed a ladder
from the back of 8. N. Aspinwall's store, and put
ting it up at the back of F. J. Calkins's clothing
•tore, entered the window of the shoo shop over
the store. Previous to this they broke open the
meat market adjoining, and stole a large knife and
a lamp therefrom, to use in their enterprise. Aft<r
building a fire in the shop above to warm them
selves by, they proceeded down stairs,forcing open
the door into the salesroom, aud then they helped
themselves ad libitum. Mr. C. thinks they took
between $2OO and $3OO in clothing and shoes ALD
a pair of fine boots, from the shop. No clue to the
burglars has yet been discovered. Such occuren
es are getting to be quits common.— Troy Ga
zette.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN ELMIRA —CFU Sunday j
morning last, occurred one of the most extensive
and devastating fires with which Elmira has ever
been visited. It broke out about 1, a. m., in the
cellar of the wholesale drug store of W. H. Gregg
A Co„ No. 12 Lake st., and owing to the combust
ible nature of the contents of the building, made
rapid progress, spreading in every direction, and
raging for hoars with great fury, defying the most
strenuous exertions of firemen and citizens. The
entire square, on the east side of Lake street, from
M iter to Carroll st., was destroyed with the excep- '
tion of the Chemung Canal Bank building.
The fire crossed to the west side of L'ikc St., de- '
Btroying a number of buildings, amungst which
were Mechanics Hull. Concert Hall, and the Arbor
Saloon, but fortunately the progress of the fire was j
stayed. In ull twenty-six stores and business pla- }
ces were burned. The loss is estimated at over j
half a million of dollars, ujuin which there are in- :
surancts amounting to $213,000.

HORTICULTURAL. —Last summer, while the agents
of Col. Frost, of the "Seneca Lake Highland Nur
series," were canvassing in this County, we advis
ed our friends, on the strength of our personal
knowledge of those Nurseries and their oaner, to
give him their orders freely. The tine stock ot trees
now being delivered at the Commercial Hotel, in
this village, fully justifies the advice we then gave.
The gradual advance in the price of fruit will na
turally attract more attention to its culture. It
has become an importaut article of commerce. We
learn tbnt a large proportion of the freighting on
our railroad at this time consists of apples. Fifty
thousand barrels are now in process of tranship
ment from canal boats at Schenectady to go by rail
to Boston, which have been mainly purchased from
growers at about $5 per barrel.— Saratogian.

First propos lion to be made pub'le :
Fkiknu Nei row First. I would say, according to
the licst calculations, in ihe 11 >r, ugh ol Towau ia, there
is sold yearly one hundred Iboiinaud dollar* worth ot
Hoots and Shoes,mostly slop work of the mot Interior
kind, and the people generally are sick "I it. Aud now
1 say to your agafa, as 1 hive bolure.enUrgc- jour Store,
make it nest and commodious, and keep a g'cd sto Sot
Hots and hoe*, and you shall be su,t*in.i. Most of
the people beg'n to (eel a little *b ive buy ng loots
aud shoes at toy Goods Btu.es ; it lo >ks verdtnl and
oullaodish. ■> e d.< hot ask to make yur goods if it is
not convenient. The facilities iu some other locaii'ies,
where a belter eh ice ol sto < k aud woikmen can he hid,
ruiy he still belter And you have always ben in ibr
business, and better understand this one point and at

alod oj let this business go whcie it belong. , that .hey
h tve done i; heretofore to accomodate the people ; J do
believe il you would open a lira-class shoe .-lore the
people would not go to Dry Goods Stores lo buy Shoes ,
any more than they would to Drugstores t-v oats.
(stop, stop : what are you talking abort ? his n< t any
me the right to tell whvt he pleases? It may be, bit
