Cramptou’s Imperial Soap is the Best.
r T'HIS SOAP is manufactured from pure
-A materials; and as it contains a large per
centage of Vegetine Oil, is warrantee fully
equal to the impor ed Castile Soap, and at
the same time contains all the washing and
clensing properties of the celebrated Oeiman
and
French
Laundry Soaps.
It is therefore recom
meh led for use in the
Laundry, Kitchen & Bath Room,
and lor general household purpose*; |
also for Printers, Painters, Engineers,
aDd Machinists, as it will .remove spots of ink |
Grease, Tar, Oil, Paint, etc , from the hands.
The Huntingdon Monitor of April sth,
1877, pronounces this Soap the best in the
market, as follows:
Reader, we don’t want you to suppose
that this is an advertisement, and pass it
oVer unheeded. Read >t. We want to direct
your attention to the advertisement of
“Crampton's Imperial Soap.” Having used
it in ur office for the pa3t year, we can re
commend it as the best quality of soap in
use. 11 is a rare thing to get a Soap that will
thoroughly dense printing ink from the
hands, as also from linen; but CramDtou’-
laundry soap will do it, and we know where
of we fpeak. It is especially adapted for
printers, punters, engineers and machinists,
as it will remove grease of all descriptions
from the hands as well as clothes, with little
labor. For general household purpeses it
canpot be excelled.

ROBBED Af BIG SPHu
A Prtstnffer , ’<* Arlpoit Tlaikt tt
vers to Nave Ills Baron atittl
Ills* Cash.
A correspondent of the Omaha
Herald, who was one of the nasuet
gera on the train that was lobbed on
Union Pacific Railroad, at Big Springs,
vVyomiog, Wednesday nigltt, 13ptem
ber 19, studs to the pssper the fol
lowing racy account t f his experience :
O.v th f. Koah, Sept. 20.
That train robbery at Big Springs
Station was au interesting occasion,
and no mistake. I was there, but not
by special invitation. Nat being ac
customed to that sort of diversion, had
1 knowrt what was to happen, I tlcnk
I shou'd have waited for the next
tiain. You have probably got an ac
count of the whole thing by telegraph
long ago, fo I will not attempt to
write it up for you in full, bur will
give a little sketch of I saw,
which may possibly be of interest.
We rolled up to the Big Springs
depot as usual. The night was boau
tiful and tbe moon shone brightly.—
As the train stopped. I went out on
the i latform of the car, where 1 found
an Omaha merchant, and wi stood
and talked tliero about two minutes,
when there suddenly appeared before
us on the ground lour masked men,
with a cocked revolver in each hand
aimed directly at u*. At first I
| thought it was some joke, but when
tbe devils ordeied us ivto the car
“d—d quick,” and ti< hold up our
I bands and make no “breaks,” and
called us hard names, I concluded it
meant usim-as,” and another look at
those eight revolvers, which just about
that tin e began to look like moun
tain howitzers, convinced me in much
less than a week’s time that the even
ing air ws unhelthy, and I had busi
ness inside immediately. In otho.
words, 1g it quick. As 1 closed the
.ear door two shots were fired a*, my
friend, hitting him twice in the hand,
and taking off about a loot f th- car
dooi casing That satisfied him, and
he took an inside Lirtli tolerably livs
y. Ti e robtiers followed us in and
commenced a lirst class game of talk
One fired ff lis posti l in the Car -
not to kill us; he held it tip, hut p oo
afdy to give emphasis to his returnks,
Which, by tie w av, were m re hue b e
tcan pi litn Weil, they stat oned one
man a* the front tend ot tl e cur, one
u the rea , each with two 'pinto s, and
io each of the remaining ruffians was
alio ed the p easant task of robbing a
row ol the seat-, which’they proceed
ed to do eae hlno his own original
The first nmn ebbed was a diua;-
nitii Imn a N-w Yo k house, lie
was orii -red to “stand up, howl up fits
hat •, keep bis <1 —and moiMh shut,”
and the search commenced They
t nit fiorn ion S4BO and a gold wu ch
Valued at sooo. The next man had
only one aim fiie gentlemanly vi
lam. that w s searching him happened
•to italic e i-inp y sleeve. “II II,”
a rid tie, “have yon only got one nrnii’”
“Only iibs, s i,” replied tin than,
“Wei', d—ti yon, t ke back your
stiff e dot.’t w nt your money
.>it down and keep still.”
One of the wretches yelled put a
fi.ey came into the car: “IT id up
your hands, eveiy , aril
keep still; we want your money, but
will give each man SIU back, arid
we wori’t hurt a man unless lie makes
a trreak. We’Ve killed on man and
don’t tvont to kill any mote, but your
uionoy we wifi have; so, fi—d y< u,
keep still, aud give it up—all of if,
quietly”—at).i ju.reh more talked ol
like chartti tor. *■
It w’as a rich scene—about forty men
ol us sitting there quietly to let lour
masked scalawags go through us that
way; hut what could w do ‘7 Not. a
revolver in the car except one, and
that at the bottom ol a vadse. There
was un use for any one t.) make a
Start; tlieie were sever a ladies n the
cars The two men at the end of the cars
covered every body neatly with tuo
Cocked revolvers, iiable to go ot? ftt
any niotiieni, lor their bands trembled
violently, showing that they were
themselves excited. So wh obeyed
orders to acer’inn extent„ but not lttl
!y. I didn’t. I hail my hands up
most ot the tin e, ex ept when I wan
ted !o use them down, '.ecaere it was
a sort ol re ief to u>y arms to chntge
til ui from their usu.i positron, hill I
to aid time to pnt rny pocket-booh
with 8400 in it -down behind a lady’s
Wotk-hasket, who occupied ttio next
seat, alter ( t ing r. iiiclii wall td back
about lour seats, nun managed to ge‘
my watch and chain off .ami down be
hind my valise ,n >be car floor, alter
which It tie performance tay hands
wer. up, good and steady. I then
had nothing on my person that I
thought the thieves w. u and *ake except
about ten dollars in coin in one pocket,
and 1 finally worked uji a scheme to
beat them out of this. The naan who
was robing the seats opposite me was
mu li more expei t than tne other, and
g t away ahead of him. After he
had passed me about four seat , and
the other one was at least four seats
tic m me the other way, 1 got up leis
urely .and ctossed the ais e, and took
•
a seat with a man who had been rob
bed, and tire vdiiati whose plain duty
it was to rob me, overlooked me en
tiieiy ; so 1 was no: touched, and was
the only man in that car wbo was Dot
“gone through.”
I think it to„k them about fifteen
minutes to work ttm* car, during
which they kept talking, ordering 1
passenger* what to do, und calling
them such nice, lamihar names, as
though we ali belonged to one family
—nams that don’t look nice in print,
but they finally got tf.rough and loft,
giving us a final order not to stir out
of the CBtyor we would get shot, and
although I had folly retained by pres
ence ei 'triad uni did eve.ytidrsg to
protect mv own and succeeded, and
toe and nger was ad over, something
like a streak of lightning tpruek me
ju3‘ then, and I liked to have shook
myself to pieces. .It. fact 1 have hard
ly got done shaking Vet.
Yon know ail a'out the robbery of
the express car aud what took pi ce
then, so I will close this already -oo

hard at work over tiie turbid stream,
at a point half a mile below Tift’s
bridge, and just at the south side of
the cemetery. Twelve foot of water
was found, a good firm rook bottom,
and withal. Cd. Meador says it is a
splendid location for a bridge. No
oth<*r information we could get from
him. The gimlet of enquiry would
bring forth —nothing. We only* know
that negotiations have t eon g"ing on
between some Epglisli capitalists and
the present owners ol the road looking
to the sale of the same, for a year aud

drove seveial into the vicinity, and
watched the io.-ult. The pigs soon
seemed to scent the reptiles and com
menced tooling about tho spo*. In
an ios ant half a dozen of tho vicious
serpents emerged from their hiding
places to attack the intruders, who
manifested a zea ous disposition to
give battle. A snake would rear
himself lo the height of the back of a
pig shake las rattl sand plunge his
fangs into tire animal with iigh.ning
like et-leti y and then dart away, pur
sued hy the p'g, who dexterously re
ceded the sting upon the fleshy part
of the jaw. Over and ove again this
would be repeated until the pig gut
his foot upon tho snake, when ho
would deliberately rip the reptile in

snakes were disposed of, when the

Miss Emma Richards, of Akron, a
girl verging on twenty years of age,
was with her mother visiting at
tho residence of Mr. Timothy
Lrromi?, iu Lodi, when a sou of
Timothy, surnamed Pliineas, proposed
that ho shonid show her a small herd
of deer that were kept in an enclosure i
or. their premises. Tl young lady !
consented, and Phineas started into j
tho brush to scare them up, the young
iady mounw die standing at the gate
to await the appearance of the mena
gerie. Sudd sly she heard a cry of
“Murder ’ in the somewhat juvenile
voice ol Pliineas. Never thinking of
fear, Miss Richards started in the di
rection of tho noise,.ami after going
a few rods discovered the boy pinned
to *ivo earth, while un angiy buck
s'ood over him with tiie ptong of ono
horn ttirough the flesh of tho hoy’s
! side, and embedded in the earth.—
! She instantly grasped a club and wept
for Mr. Buck. lie paid no attention
to the first and second blows, but
when she gave him. the third crack,
he turned and went for her. Unable
to ward off hi*> approach with the club,
sue dropped it, and grasped him by
the antlers, at the same time calling
to the boy to rise and put for tao
fence. He was either too much hurt
or too bi lly scared to mind her, and
so, disengaging one hand, tdie fif ed
the boy to his feet, at the saineDiruo
crowding the deer back with the other,"
Once on his pins young Pliineas found
his speed, and put fm tfiu fence like a
streak of lightning ou a copper rod,
while* the brave girl gave all her at
tention to Mr. Buck. It was a live'y
tussle, and it kept all tier nerve and
pluck to prevent her being thrown to
tho ground. Still holding on to tiie
horns she backed oil’ gradually, and
in that manner ranched the fence, but
not till her clothes were badly torn,
and her body was bruised again and
ai uin. At last, nearly exhausted, she
reached the fence, and succeeded m
getting over it without receiving any
serious injury. It was a close cal l ,
but tho spunk that many a man
couldn’t have furnished won the day.

-1 A young parson of the yuivenraaiiet
faith, many years since, whan tfre
KimcnpureUnivorsalism was preached,
started westward to attend a conven
tion i.flris brethren in thefaith, He took
the precaution to carry a vial of cay
enne popper i t his pocket, to sprinkle
his food with as a prevent.ve against
ague and fever. The convention met;
end.at dinner a tall Hoosier observed!
the parson ns ire seasoned his meat,
and addressed him thus:
“Stranger, IT I thank you for a fee
tie of that ’too rod salt, for I’tn kind
o’ curious to fry it.”
“tlertatnly,” returned tho pariWrL
“hut you will find it very powerful;
he careful how you use it.”
Tho.llcottier took tho proffered vial,
nnd feeling him-elf proof against any
quantity of raw whiskey, thought hs
ootild -tuiid the “rei salt” with impu
nity, accordingly lie sprinkled the
chunk of be*’? latltor bountifully with
it, aud forthwith introduced ;t into big
capaoious mouth. It soon began to
take hold. 110 shut his eyes, and his
features begun to writhe, denoting a
very inliarmouious eoudition, physic
ally. F.nally he cuuhl stand it no
longer, He opened his mouth and
Rcraamed “tire.”
“Take a drink of cold water from
the jug,” said the parson.
I “ vVill that put it on ?” asked the
martyr, suiting the action to the word.
In a short time the iinfotuuate man
began to recover, end turning to the
parson, his eyes yet swimming til wa
ter, exclaimed:
“Stranger, you call youtself a “Wr
salist,” I believer 1 ”
“1 do,” mildly answered the parsor.
“Wal, I want to know if it is cor -
sistout with your belief to go abort
with hell-fito in your breeches pock

A farmer's wagon, in which were
seated a family of eight, yesterday
drove up to a house on Beaubierx
street, and leaving his - team at the
curbstone the farmer knocked" on tho
door, drummed on tire windows, and
seemed determined to get in at all
hazard. When all efforts bad failed
be returned to the wagon, hitched his
horses, nnd the family sit down oil
thegia s to wait. A lad who had
watctied the performance passed
around the corner and suddenly dis
covered tfre boy whose parents lived
in the house.
“Here —you —there’s a whole farui
ly trying to get into your house?'’ ho
shouted.
“Hush—shut up!” whispered the
other.
“But they are visitors,” continued
the other.
“Don’t I knew all about it!”
growled the hiding boy—“didn’t mam
nd l see ’em drive up, and didn’t we
scoot out of tho back door as tho fel
ler came through th > gate? I’m bore
and mam’s ever in that house, and we
reel like someone ought to boot dad
all over town I”
“Why? What did ymir father do?”
“What did Itedo? Why, lie was out
in the country buying poultry and
rag*, and he stopped at a farm-house,
ma le ’em believe he was a distant re
lashttn and got his dinner for nothing.
He came hunif and told it as a big
joke, and lie g inned aiound for a
week, but ri w I v ant to sea hitri
when he comes up to dinner and finds

Kc-' ia Fitosf —Tho manufact
ure of sugar out of ordinary corn is
an industry that needs uo encourage
ment to in ble it to become a source
of great natural Wealth, It needs
simply tho removal of a tax —the t x
o tt'coinil. We have been shown a
specimen of raw sugar manufactured
near this city from corr. It is white
and very sweet. To comp ote its man
ufacture into pure, granulated sugar
alcohol must bo usd to remove tho
foreign matter contained in the crude
product. A bushel of coin yie’ds
thirty pounds of raw suga , and this,
when purified by a’6oh l, gives twen
seven pounds of good sugar, market
able at four cents u poud. In other
words, a bushel of corn made into su
gar would bring SI.OB. Our internal
revenue systi m prohibits this develoj -
raetit of the market for the farmer's
corn because, unlike that of mors hi
lightened ns i ins, i*. takes alcohol det.-
timed lor use in manufactures ss
heavriy as that which istooe exported.
