AITZNITYD ROBElRT.—Yesterday morning, about
•
1
o'clock, the family of Mr. T. J. DUNCAN, at the cor
ner &Chatham and Wylie streets, was aroused by the
noise of a dog kept in the basement of the building; Mr.
ID., seizing a pair of pistols, came down stairs to learn
the cause of the disturbance; as he got to the door three
men Isere seen leaving the premises with all convenient
speed. Had they waiteda short time longer, Capt. Dun
can says he would have administered a dose of pills
woes :effectual and quicker in their operation than Dr.
Brodie's. Ho observed two white men and a negro
lurking about his neighborhood in the course of the CI,
ening, and has little doubt but the attempt at robbery
was made by them. 'Our citizens should not let such
warnings pass unheeded. Let them look to their locks '
and prepare their defences.
Rats.—We were yesterday blessed with a heavy
and refreshing rain, which lasted all day. Though
rather unpleasant for those whose business kept then/
out, we do not believe that any one regretted its coin
, •
lug, for we have -been sadly in want of a shower to lay
the dyst, and cool and purify the air.
APPOISTMENT.—We are pleaded to announce that

ly hope that you will &el no hesitancy in suffering your
name to remain before the Democracy of Allegheny
county, at the ensuing election.
Your well known talents and qualifications for the
station. and the great need we have for such well tried
and &haul public servants, call loudly for your election
at the present time. The essential public services ren
dered by you in former days will now be duly appre
ciated by your friends and fellmi citizens

exTert.tbtes:—l have the honor to acknowhNlgo the
receipt of your very kind and complimentary letter, ad
dressed tom, for the purpose of ascertaining my senti
ments in reference to my "nomination by d e g DL.mo
ocratic Convention of 1842, for Reprei.ourative in C'on
gress," and expressing the h ipe that I "will feel no
hesitruscy in. suffixing my nama to rormtin bef tr.° the
Denticr.icy of Allegheny courxy at the en-aing elec
tion."
My duty to you and the political party to which you
are attached, deminds an immediate reply.
Although nominated by the Democratic Convention
of last year, as-a candidate to represent the district in
the 28th Congress; and, however binding that nomin
ation may be considered by very many friends, yet I
freely waive all my supposed claim and r that proceed
ing. Safer a s I am concerned, I now throw the whole
manor open, and desire that the democratic delegates,
when they shall assemble in convention upon the 30th of
the. present in nth, may make a selection untrammelled
by, anti nithout any manner of reference to, the pro
ceedings oflast year. It is moth more than likely, that
upon a five and full Consideration of the question, the
approaching convention will be readily able to select a
canaidate combining in his charactor more popularity
and higher qualifiCations for the responsible and honor
able post than I ever pretended to possess. Still, if
uponfeeedeliberation and consulting the wishes of their
constituents, they shall bestow upon me the compliment
of renew* my nomination, I will abide by their deci
sion and hold in high estimation the act which places
me before the people's the democratic candidate. If
the honor falls to another, I shall cordially acquiesce.
Your friend and fellow-citizen,

Theie lined boxes have been introduced in many .

establishments in that section of country, to which ill.
limits of an advertisement will not allow us to refer,an.
nearly thirty well known superintendents,engineers,ma

the Wear is hardly perceptible, during a period in whicl
a hard metal box of the same thickness would be wo
out; journals running in these boxes attain a smoothe
surtheeilum they have seen on those which have bee.
run in any other box." They also certify "that the pa

Remedy for the lallueumi.
THE Influenza, which is now in almost et utifesitgasl
epidemic, is exciting, the inventors of patent
medicines to increased exertions in the puffing Wee,
but owing to the general distrust enbertainod for the
generality of such drugs, people fear taking them- 1 '
The following, however, from a distinguished Vhiersil"
clan in New York, Dr. Nelson, we think may be nia
lied on:
"The object of the present communication is to tee
ommend a single remedy, cheap and of easy access to
the poor. and to cantion them against an injurious one
in this disease, namely, bleeding, either general or by
leeches. In all those roses in whith the first class of
symptoms prevail, let the patient smell frequently stt
a common salts bottle, (Sims' Aroiraftic
ti-
Salts are preferred) and by putting the vial to dist
mouth to draw a few deep inspirations of volatile seat
ter into the lung?. Let this process be repeated tire
or three times in an hour, and it will give TIN*I9 lipobay
and greater relief, in all slight cases of the first micas
than nnv other remedy, and will be sufficient for •
cure. It will also be essentially useful in the iwinele
cases; and those of the class of prostration, di feat
drops of amonia, or hartshorn, ought to taken fate*
Dully. A neat way of doing so is to take an old fash
ioned mixture called lac ammoniaci. Hfflrever, it hi
as a local remedy,. to act on the disordered surface.
that its use is advised. The principles wilt be recd'
nized by all physicians versed in molecular organisa
tion, and those who are deficient in that knowleap
may do in that instance as they do in all others—ktct
upon the faith they imbibe." These salts are for sal/
and within the reach of all classCs, at Win tHatteis k
