Let every pastor speak ooi ! A church of sixteen hundred thousand members has pow er with God, and oar eleven thousand pastors will serve as as army each a general.

T. SitLiiA, General. The Secretary of War, npon the request of Gov. Hartranft, has or dered the shipment of a -quantity of arms to be distributed to the Nation al Gnard of the State, which is be iag organized, drilled and equipped as a preliminary measure against any riotous demonstration in the large cit es, or in the mining districts. Hereafter the Legislature of Fennpjlrania will meet biennially, The new Constitution provided for annual sessions until the year 1STS inclusive, the object beinr to Lave all the general laws passed which be cam necessary under toe provis ions of that instrument. These have bow nearly all been placed on the statute-books. No adjourned annual sessions can hereafter be held, and if any necessity exists for an extra ses sion at any time, it must be conven ed by proclamation of the Governor, who must state the objects for which they are convened, and they will be tompelled to conine themselves strict ly to the business thus indicated. Or the cioeteen Democrats who voted to kill Wood's low tariff bill, nine were from th State. For so mneh we are thankful, but what a sorry figure those nineteen men cut in a party controlling the House, and aspiring to- rule the nation. More over it most be remembered, that all, or nearly every 'one of tbe Pennsyl vania gentlemen are aspirants for; renomination,- and Hbey- bad to refuse obedience to caucus nomina tion to save their Lacoh. Give that' party control . of both houses, and those nine Democrats would in all probability thistle down tb wind their sentiments In favor of Froiee tion. as Vice .' President George M. Pallas did when he betrayed hie censtitaeDif in giving tbe casting vote against the tariff of 1842, or as did Mr. Speaker Randall when ao pointin; the Free Trade Committee cf the pretest noose. Col. M. S. Ql at, late Secretary of the Commonwealth has been (selected as Cbairmaa of the Republican State Committee. Host. Jons Ileilly former Demo cratic Congressman from this district ia spoken of as a candidate tor re- nomination by bis frionds county. in Blair The Republican gains in the recent Indiana elections are said to be larrje enough to insure a Republican Legis lature, and the consequent election of a U. S. Senator in place of that Dem ocratic nuisance Dan Voorhees. AnoiTone quarter of a million dollars per day is being invented in the Government four per cent, loan, and yet with money seeking invest ment at this rate, demagogues are continually crying for a farther issue of greenbacks Three attempts have now been made on tbe life of the Emperor William of Germany. Once shortly after he ascended the throne, and two recently by Uoedel and Nobeling. Tbe aged emperor will probably be allowed to end Lis days unmolested since his son Frederick William has been proclaimed regent. The "Nationals" of Blair County have nominated Hon. Samuel Calvin (Rep ) for Congress, and have also placed a full county ticket in the field, principally selected from the Republican ranks. As Blair is a decidedly Republican county, it is evident that tbe animus of these nominations in to divide and distract the Republican party, for the benefit of the Democracy. Ota editorial friend, M. Edgar King, of the Blair County Radical, who was elected to fill a vacancy in the House, has been renominated by the Republicans of Blair Countv. He was an efficient member, and bis constituents evidently appreciate that fact. His colleague on the ticket is Benjamin L. Hewit, E.-?q , at present one of the State "Fish Commission ers," and formerly a prominent mem ber of the House. By their election the people of Blair County w.ll be intelligently and ably represented. Mr Henry Watterhox, editor of the .great Southern Democratic or gan, the .Louisville Courier-Journal, n a speech made at Dayton a few days, since openly adrocated placing rebel soldiers on the pension roll. And to this complexion will it come, whenever the Democratic party ob tains control of the government. Reb el soldiers will be paid for their at tempt to destroy the government, while Union soldiers will be driven from every place of honor and emol ument, under tbe government they prcferved.. Tub grain receipts at Chicago have lately been enormous, and this with the estimate now made, that if no untoward event happens, the wheat crop of this year will exceed four hundred million bushels, which must act as a powerful stimulus to the business of the country, by add ing largely to its general wealth, has induced capitalists to seek after good railroad investments with the belief that such stock will be largely divi dend-navioBT. First class railroad stocks are therefore advancing in price. The Potter investigating commit tee in so far as it has progressed has thoroughly disgnsled all honest peo ple, and made itself a laughing stock for the couutry. Its first and import ant witness James E. Anderson on whose anticipated testimony it was expected to make out the case of fraid alleged to have been perpetrated in Louisiana has admitted on cross examinat ion that in his former tesi imo- ny before the Senate committee he de Iiberately perjured himself, and there lore not bin? that be swears to now can be believed; while in tbe second witness, J udge Jevissee who was one of the Republican electors, it caught a regular tartar, as that gen tleman testified that instead of voting a blank as Anderson asserted, he voted for Hayes and Wheeler, writ, iog his name on tbe ticket eo as to be able to identify it; and further that a bribe of $100,000 had t een offered him to vote for Tilden. So, this Democratic investigating com ruittee has caused to be placed on record the fact that it is trying to sustain its case by tbe testimony of one of the greatest scoundrels of the age, and also tbe ineffaceable stigma on its party that it tried to buy the Presidency for Tilden. Tub tremendous fraud disclosures that we were promised on tbe ap pointment of the Potter committee, do not pan out so well as tbe ram pant Democrats anticipated vide Anderson and Levissee's testimony and there is just now a great eager ness to hedge, and to get rid of the responsibility of tbe revolutionary movement, eo evideutly contemplat ed, when the leaders thought they had a sure thing of it. Accordingly, eager disclaimers of any intent to as sault tbe President' title are now pot forth through tbe Democratic journals although at first the House was asked t ) make such a declaration, it truculently refused. The changed attitude of the con spirators, caused by tbe thorough breaking down of their case, is thus aptly ridiculed by the ew York Tribune: "Oh, no.they don't mean revolution. They never meant revolution. TLcy wouldn't disturb President Hayes's title for the world. They have re fused to eay so several times when tbe opportunity offered, but that was because it was irrelevant Now that they have seen tbe case unfold ed and got a whiff of tbe fragrance of tbe principal witness, Anderson, they are uncommonly anxious to disclaim any purpose of profiling by ice laFBSLiiratiua. I'leturu 100 itn-. lent 8 title! Bless yon, no. Never, Lad the i-ligLteet idea of it." There Las been no such exhibition of per fect innocence since the grocer chas ed John Chinaman two blocks to re cover a washboard. "Oh," says John, "you no likea lend tun?" There is something exceedingly almond-eyed about tho Democratic disclaimer." The signal defeat of Fernando Wood's low tariff bill gotten op in the interest of foreign manufacturers and New York'mportcrs in a Demo cratic Houte, shows how litile the people of this country are disposed to favor any Free Trade tinkering with our present tariff laws. By tho defeat of this bill the threatened danger to our home industries has ' for lbe j,resel)t been averted, but the people should not iorget that the iu sidious effort to damage if net totally distroy tbtir home interef t-, origin ated with and was fostered by the democrary. Speaker Randall, a Peun sylvania Democrat, Laving appointed the committee that framed the in iquitous bill just defeated, end that but nineteen Democrats voted with the Republicans to kill it. Among other journals of the country, that have been doing good work in oppo sition to tariff tinkering, and in advo cacy cf American manufactures ami agriculture is tho Trade List, from a recent article in wbicu we quote the following passages, and commend tbem to tbe cartiul tbuunt et our intelligent readers:' If we desire to maintain frce Gtivenitnt nt, wc rauitt flee that luiior with us U not pl&red in cuiu petiti'n with tbe anier, unlenrned, Ignorant Iv uorol Euri'i'e.

Dattom, Jane 4. Henry Water son of the Louisville Courier-Jotrti-al, lecturod in the city this after noon, and addressed a large a?-embly of veterans at the Soldier's Home. He was introduced by Hon. C. W. Hook, of Dayton, as Henry Waterson, who served Q tbe other side cf the unpleasantness. He re ferred to the late war as a question beyond party or individual control. Each man had done tbe best on either side and what ho thought right, and if he were a brave and true soldier, it matters little where be stood. When the muster roll is called God will not ask tbe color of the cloth worn by any victim. The right of man to govern himself is above parties, that have their day. Were he an autocrat, he would not deal out Government beueficency with a niggardly hand, but would multiply institutions like the Sold ier's llome, nor stop at Mason and Dixon's line not till the veterans of the South got a little with tbe rest. In sober earnest he asked only what be was ready to give, and acled nothing for himself. In republics there could be no discrimination. (.Quality was indispensable. He would pension every poor soldier, and let politicians make the most of it. The quarrel dividing the veter ans was not of their making, and not of their seeking. It has ended, and all are once more soldiers of the Un ion, mutually interested in a com mon country.

Decoration Day, when we all so deftired fair skies, the rain fell, and tbe day was rendered as disagreeable as bad weather could make it. 1 weut out with some friends to witness tbe dedication aDd r . I . r uecorauon oi me uioou;&eui, m jiou - anient Cemetery, of Lieut. Wagner, . . e . 1ST who fell in battle under General Mc Cltllan. Pott No. 2 laid thereon a pure white lamb of ima..rtelics, his m ther placed a pure white crown and a large wreath of lovely flowers upon tbe grave, and friends showered cut dowers and bonqaets poa tbe tomb. There is something wonder fully tender and eweet in this setting aside one day from out the busy year ; consecrating at leart one day to the loved and lost, and those who gave their most precious gift their heart's blood to their country. And how fining it ia that flowers, those divine offsprings of tbe plants should be chosen to symbolize the sweetness of memory, the purity of the world to come ; and thus with the fragrant breath of tbe flowers beer upward a country's grateful benison. Some politicians are trying to ridi cule the practice, and bring it iota discredit by eaviaar it were better to bestow upon the living lbs money the flowers cost, etc.; but for me, I hope that our country may perish when she ceaFes to honor her noble dead, and that Individuals who hold such sentiments may tick into the profound oblivion thev winh for our martyrs. Oae siugle example : take young Lieut. Wagut r a blight, hap py youth, full cf prorui.-e, surrounded by friondi", idol of Lis mother, pride of bis clas, bo went forth with high resolve only to be cut down like a flower, and should his country not Lomrhim? He is but one of thous ands, and it ii sweet and fitting that ihti;- memories live bright as the (lowers that symbolize them. How it did stir up one's soul to bear the drums beat and the fifes play, as tLfy preceded the t.irn and smoke blackened battlo flag'', and tbe eyes filled with tears, and the heart wit'a bitter, unavailing sorrow, until one saw the wagon loads of flower, and then all at once a sort of sooth ing balm fell like a dew, ard one felt that at least we could thns prove our remembrance, and offer tribute to the bravery cf the men who rallied around those ragged and craps hound flaffs. May we as a nation always bold and celebrate Decoration Day. Philadelphia is noted for her chari ties the world over. It needs but for a want to ba felt, to ba remedied as nearly as possible immediately. Among the moat deserving of them is a 3Di'anum tor sice bane?, on Windmill Island, in the Delaware River, between Camden and Phila delphia. It was started about two Years a?o by a yontia; doctor who realized the posit:on cf mothers with sick in fants, whose physician has ordered "change of air," and "fresh oir." Such an order comes like a stern mockery of fate. Where can the poor mother go ? She has not the means to leave the cay even for a short trip, and perhaps there aro oth er children in the family that she can not leave. Here this bannariura steps ia. transport to tbe Island by tbe boat is tree, a good an I nourish ing diet is furnished free lo babes and mothers, they can remain as long as tbey like, have shade, green grass to play on, a jlean, well-ordered house to sleep in. and above all, pnre, cool air, in the beat of summer, all with out money and without price. If the pareut? wish, the children can re main under a nurse's motherly care, or tbey can go home at niehts. Al ready this oas been of incalculable benefit to ailing children, and it is to be hoped that it will succeed ; but like all newly established charities, it lacks funds to fully carry cut the plan. But yet, they will undoubtedly come in time. Let us hope so. Last night I went to a ladies' liter ary club here, and, as I think that it is worthy of being known to every body as an effort on the pnrt of liter ary women to advance their own and their fellow-women's condition, I shall sav a few words about it. In 1ST0, Mrs Elizabeth Bladen.t editor of the women's department in lbe Sunday Timr3, &nd Mrs. h. E. Benedict, editor ot tbe women's de partment in the Ci'y I'cin, organized tbe literary club for ladies, known so well and favorably as the ?TC club, and ia a very short time it became a real power in tbe land. Mrs. Bladen was unanimously elected president, Mrs. Benedict as 6ecrotary, and Miss Anne E. M'Dow ell as treasurer. All three of these ladies are well known here, their names at once gave standing to the club, and it flourished and was the means of doing much gocd. It Was intended for the meeting in social intercourse of ell lady writers, the discussion of all current topics, the dissemination of useful rews, and for mutual aid and benefit. After a while Miss M'Dowell re tired, ana 1 believe tbe secretary is aiso treasurer ibis rear, i be club holds mesting3 weekly at lbe office of tbe Sunday Timet, and monthly at tbe house of a lady member. It numbers among its active and honor ary members some of tbe brightest literary and artistic lights Among the new members must be mentioned Mrs. Ritchie, a lady of the highest culture and ability, who has lately come before the people with tbe sud denness and brilliancy of a ciniet. She has commanded the ' highest praise from tbe press as a lecturer on a profound and noble subject, and now she has another lecture in prep aration on i he subject of "Mothers of Great Men." lo appearance she is very attractive, and in manner charming. I predict for ber a great success Mrs. Bladen is known so widely and admired for her versatile talent, tijat jt is almost impossible to nay any thin j ( hat has not been said before. She is a matronly : woman, with a handsome face and figure, a most ac tive and indefatigable disposition, and of talents so varied and escelat that one does not know which to ue&i'lop. In addition to tbe care of a large family, to yhom she is devo ted, she is everywhere wfce- earnest help is needed, and her voice is L ways rsised in behalf of the needy or oppressed. As a public speaker I would tzv? bo equal in tbe fe male racks, asd dolt )f Any man would like to compete with 'he? in: argument, aud it is a matter of fila cer.) vg,-ej smong all her friends that she does not uont the platform and electrify all by her injrinfibje eloquence. .She Is fqutj . to all emergencies, and ho3 always at her forppjand an abundance of undeveloped resourve. Her siyla e! writing is at once clear, forcible and yef clarminjjy sprightly, and sometimes she points a moral with a word or sentence of surb sar castic keenness that it makes a clean nut ani nnnaa an niitliotanrl it a TiWfit 1 Her articles carry home troths and i jcommoa sense in every lino, and yet j they are so gracefully carried that ;thy never wound nor arouse to an- -x. But I would not like to bo tbe j recipient of her just indignation, for j those terse sentences of hers would 6tiog in tbe wounds they made till j life would be a torture. j Mrs. Biadcn has written for tho I - . . ;pres lor raanv years and bcr nam . - - is a household word in the city, and. not to be uojustto tbe proprietors of tbe paper I can say that nearly one half cf the subscribers for that paper take it for tbe sake of ber articles only. Mrs. Bladen issued a child's book called "Tbe Water Waif," pub lished by Claxton, Remscn & Hafel- bnger, of Philadelphia, a very sweet Revolutionary story of thrilling inter est, which had a most remarkable sale. Mrs. F. E. Benedict is in her writ ings tho direct opposite of Mrs. Blad en in all but tbe excellence of ber productions. Mrs. Benedict is one of the sweaeet faced, most amiable mannered women in existence, and she is as pretty as she is amiable. Her style of wriiiDg is marked by grace and softness and finish, while it carries its own quiet force. Mrs. Benedict, though still a young woman, commenced writing for the press about twenty-five years ago, and was connected tor a long time with tLe J hilar Monthly, and she has writtea several stories and poems for the New York Weekly and other papers ; and of Ute years has been eugaged oa the City Item, of this city. She has latoly accepted the editorial control of Custer's Fashivn S.mioriuni, aud all her friends say that hbe is tbo only woman who could acceptably fill the position. Mrs. Be d id it-1 has no children, and it is pleasant to see ber and her husbaud together. They bavo been married several years, but tbey bavn't got done courting yet. In every respect Mrs. Benedict is a charming woman, as well as one of our brightest litera ry lights, It is my intention to write short sketches of many more of the literary ladies of Philadelphia, and more par ticularly those who do regular work upon tbo newspapers, but I shall hare to defer the rest until the next letter. You know, cood editor, that the writers are really and truly the salt of the earth, and I kaew yon will be unly too happy to koow alt about the pioneers of that kind of work for women, and of their success es in their wide field.

Tbe improvements ot the last week, though perceptible, are only to be observed in matters of detail, and have little effect upon the general appearance ot the grounds and buildings which are still in that robbish-encumbered state that de tracts so much from the harmony of tbe whole. The frequent visitors to the Exposition, those who see it day by day brought nearer to a state of completion, can not help regretting that it was thrown open to tbe pub lic when it was but tbe mere sug gestion of what it will be when per fected. The chaos of the opening days is gradually being reduced to order and regularity, but it is not pleasant to witness this process of evolution; it is too much like the dis solution of an acqnaintance with the greay ropes and pulleys that are necessary to the splendid scenic ef fects of the htage. There are few parts of the grounds or buildings, either at the Troeadero or oa tbe Champ de-Mars, which are uot, even at this late dav, ia need of much fin- ishiug. What forces itself upon the notice of visitors is the dreadful con dition of the walks and roadd. which, according to the weather, are deep in mud, or covered with a thick lay er of dust. Tbe topmost towers of the Trocadt ro palace, the "Memorial Hall" of this Exposition, and the ou- ly edifice that has been built for per manence, are not yet divested of their scaffilding; the picturesque build ings studding the adjiceot grounds are mostly still shut to tbe public. At present the magnificent East Indian pavilion, and the collection cf the Prince of Wales are the great attractions of the Exhibition; every body admiring the superbly orna mented harnesses, bridles, saddles, the arms and works of art which tbe heir ot tbe English throne brought bark with him from his late orient il trip. Tbe first rooms of the fiae art department are a scene of disorder, the public ere still barred out, and can see the statoes only from afar. The French gallery f machines is a crowded point, and here things hve a more complete appearance than in any other part of tbe Cbampi de Mars. The Aveme of Foreign Na tions is one of tbe first attractions IjT visitors; and af.er the monotony of the long narrow galleries i.f the French department it is a rehit to come in view of the row cf pictur esfiue and characteristic lacaaes The English section h in admirab! order, and the richness and variet of this department ere appreciated by visitors who devote a great part of their time to an inspection of the ex bibits of England and her colonies. The magnificent English mecban ical exhibit is already attracting crowds. It is yet too early to under take a descrintron of the diaerent do- partmcnts, but it may be safely sai that at the present time there i more of interest in tbe Entrli-ib de- partment than in any other. Tbe American section looss wen. its most striking features being the splendid cases of Messrs. Tiffany k Co.. of the Waltbam Watch Co Douglas Axe Co.. and some Con necticut Lock Companies ; but there are many other prominent exhibits calling for notice. The central row of columns in the United States sec tion is very prettily festooned with toe 3'.ars and 6tripes, and the pictur esnuc roof screens.' with coats of arms of the different states, are ad mired, thoogh, from the outside, tbe United States facade is not as rtnk inir as those of tho neighboring na tioos Passing from tbe space allotted t the United States, into the Eec.ion o Sweden and Norway, tbe attention of the visitor is arrested by some iron and some fur reminiscences, and by little else that will repay inspec tion; but, the Italian department makes an imposing display, i-carcely excelled by any other country. I here are many curious, grotesque, and fantastic objects in the Japanese and Chinese sections. Austria and lluo gary have both richer and rrore ex tensive displays than tbey had in the United States; and iuile awitzer land is present with her wooden clock and other articles ia wood of rare and delicate carving. Belgium and Holland make Goe displays, out of all proportion to their area oa the map of Europe, and some of the mod els of house furniture in the Holland section are particularly admirable; but. it must be confessed, that the most prominent display of this coun try consists of two immense cases, reachinir half way to the ro f, of ri- val liquor bouses. ry Without detracting from tbe mer iu of the Philadelphia Exposition, which, all things considered, was re ally tbe more wonderful ot tbe two, the distinction in favor of this Expt sition may perhaps be suggested in tbe words: Greater taste, wealth, and variety. C. A. S. Work rnnrlaf Owl laws. Canton, Pens., Jixe 4 Great excitement waa caused here to day bv tbe robbery of the only banking' bouse iu the place, which is situated on Towanda street, bamuel and h E. Doane. father and son. are lbe proprietors. Tbe elder Roane, a man of Q0, sleeps ia a room io rear of tbe banking-office. At 3:3Q o'clock ibis morning be was suddenly aroused b,v tbe n icdow of bis bed room crashing io. aud almost immediately two men leaped into tbe room and approached his bedside. Tbey bad on loo linen dusters, and oe goggles. Pointing a revolver at lbe bead of lbe startled banier. they enjoined him not to move on pain of instant death. A light was burning dimly in (be room, and be could only see that one was a heavy, broad:bouldered man, while the other wabof lighter build. Toey couly examined lbe room, and one passed iuto the baakiug ofti.'e, near the door of which stood a large safe. The banker' was told that be must open tbe safe. He said be could only open I'm ostpr fjor and the robbers compelled blrp to do this. When the door bat) beeu opened (bey demanded that lbe inner door he opened also. He told them he did not know the combination aad then they took him back to bis bed and again told Lira to keep quiet. While tbie burglars wpre getting ready to How open (.he safe, .he olq) banker shouted for aid, whereat the bur glars hastened to bis side and one struck him two heavy blows in the. face, which stunned him. Tbey then tore rpen tbe pillow-case and made a gag, which tbey knotted into his: mouth and lied firmly around his head. He was then handcuffed, and told ibat if he moved that be would be shot dead. Tbe burglars then opened the side door and brought iu a valise full of tools and a pick-ax and spike ham mer, which had been stolen from tbe Northern Central Railway Company. Before commencing operations they took off their goggles and tied piec es of cloth torn from tbe pillows over tbe lower portions of their faces. i ney were provided wua a complete set ot safe cracking tools, and after btuffing the crevices of tbe money till with potty, they applied an air pump by ineao9 of which powder was drawn ia aad a fuse inserted. Igniting this, tbey stepped back and watched for tbe result of tbo explo sion. It was a failure. Tbe combi nation was broken off, bat tbe till re sisted. Tbe shock of tbe explosion I smashed a Urge pane of glass in tbe tront window, lbe noise aroused two men, named Pierce and Jackson, a mtrchant aad a clerk, who slept next door. They hurriedly dressed, and catching up some wagon spokes ia the store over which tbey slept, raa into tbe street. Nearly io front of tbe bank tbey met a man running toward them. Tbey cried to bim to bait. Tbe ooty response be made was to reach behind for a revolver, when Jackson raised bio wheel-spoke and dealt the burglar guard a blow which felled the rascal to the ground. He recovered ia a momeat, and yell ed out to his companions in tbe bank to loon out. At this Jackson dealt him three more heavy blows, which felled the burglar agaio to tbe ground. As be lay writhing and ut tering piteous cries for help Pierce struck him with deadly effect. The burglars inside were just get ting ready to explode another charge of powder io the stout old safe. They shut their dark lantern, and with revolvers ia band pprang out of the side door, aad running do.vn tbe narrow lane came upon tbe brave villagers as they were knocking tbe life out of the fallen burglar. The rescuing burglars emptied their re volvers at Pierce and Jackson, who, seeing that tbey were overmatched, being unarmed, hastily fled. The burglars fired six eboH at tbem with out effect. Then tbey hastily pick ed up their insensible confederate and carried him as quickly as possi ble to a wagon, the bor?e to which was hitched under the shade trees ia a secluded place near the bank. They drove off at a "John Gilpin" rate of speed, goiag io the direction of To wanda. Tbe village was at once alarmed, and ia less than ten min utes three or four hundred excited villagers had gathered. Reports prevailed that tbe elder Doane had been killed, and, hastening into the bank, they found him lying on tbe bed, the blood flowing freely from bis mcutb, and his face bleeding from the effects of the blows be bad re ceived. 3e was soon released from the gag, and the clotb, thick with blood, was shown all day to wonder struck rustics. i ne pursuit ot tbe burglars was promptly begun. Mounted men hastily sped after them, bat the search, so far, has beea unavailing. One of the pursuers reached Towan da just after one of tbe burglars had taken the seven o'clock train from that place for Elmira. Tbe direc tion taken bj the other two burglars was not ascertained. Tbe robbers took from tbe bank as the fruits of the burglary $2,500 io registered United States bonds, fund ed loan of 1831, o per cent, of tbe following denominations: No. 17,880. $1,000; No. 17,872, $1,- 000; No. 4,203, $500. These bonds had been transferred and indorsed to D. B. Paul, President of the Third National Bank of PLiladelphia. The burglars searched the clothes of Mr. Doane while be lay gagged, and took therefrom thirty dollars in mon ey. The wounded burglar bad on a wig of brown curly bair. This wus found in tbe street where be had been knocked down, as was also a sott black felt bat. Tbe trophies are in possession of the bank officials. Tbe burglars left behind tbem a new valise filled with tbe most improved safe-breakinT tools chisels, jimmies, packages of nitro-glycerine, a small handsaw, a pair of rubber shoes, tc In tbe valise was also a pair of kid gloves and a box of blacking. Two small cases of fine powder were left, in tbe bed room. Had tbe burglars succeeded in getting into tbe safe a large amount of money would have been fecured. At nine o clock te-night some ot tin men in pursuit of the thieves re turned to Canton, and reported that tbey bad traced two of them t o Pool Settlement, ten miles beyond Towan da. Tbe pursuit is actively kept up, and hopes are entertained of tbe speedy arrest of tbe robbers. It has been learned that tbe burglars hired tho horse and wagon from a livery man at Towanda. It was concealed during tbe afternoon in a grave yard a few miles below Caaton, and the robbers arrived at this place about 9 o'clock on tho evening of tbe burglary. A Blootfj Traxed Iq Uerfla.
