Theft, boots stolen.
As the steamboat Hudson was coming up from
Hilton Head last night, some tlpef opened a canvas bag,
and stole therefrom a pair of mooseskin boots, new,
ar.d worth twenty dollars. As there is not another
pair like them nearer than the State of Maine, I shall be
pretty likeiy to catch this sweet gentleman. I hereby
inform him that I will not pay him the first dime to re
turn them, but that if I do catch him, I’ll bring him
before the Provost Judge and have him in the lock-up
quicker than ho ewild pick his grandmother’s
of her gold spectacles.

QOLDEN ALE.
Written when times were dull, and Golden Ale want
ed a market—many years ago,
What’s the world to a man without children and wife,
He may toil, he may strive, the whole length of his
life.
Let him drink Golden Ale, and his spirits ’twill cheer,
Till the glow on his cheek drawa some kind creature
near.
Let him drink Golden Ale, and soon wedded he’ll
be;
How his heart will expand when a babe’s on his knee;
. Let him never imbibe till his spouse have a share,
And blessings and peace will for ever be there.
The old maiden, too, had long thought to herself,
When no kind hand wus near, she must get on the
shelf;
But she tried Golden Ale. and its magical train
Brought beauty and youth to her cheek once again.
And lovers in scores to her cottage repair,
Y onth blooms on her cheeks and raven's her hair,
Ouce agnin in her teens she’s the Beile of the Vale,
And is doatingly fond of the famed Golden Ale.
The old and the young to be hearty and hale,
Should each day imbibe of this bright Golden Ale,
Aud their cellars well store for the cold winter's night
As ’tis health to the sick, to the blind it is light.

By authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, the

1864, and are payable three years from that time, in
currency, or are convertible at the option of the
holder into

GOLD-BEARING BONDS.
These bonds are now worth a premium of nine per

makes the actual profit on the 7-30 loan, at current
ra es, including interest, about ten per cent, per an,
num, besides exemption frvm . State anti municipal
taxation, which adds from one to three per cent, more,
according to the rate levied on other property. The
