HUNTER'S LUCK, 
Stolen Bonds Recovered.—The Cu¬ 
rious Manner in which they were 
Found by a Sportsman.— In September. 
1878, during bank hours, the National Bank 
of Baltimore was robbed of two tin boxes, 
one containing $35,000 in banknotes belong¬ 
ing to the bank, and the other containing 
bonds of various coal and other companies, 
aggregating $28,000, deposited by the late 
Colonel William M. Boone, together with 
stock certificates and private papers. Since 
the robbery, detectives have failed to find 
any trace of the stolen property. On Fri¬ 
day last a young man while hunting in the 
woods near Woodberry, about three miles 
from this city, saw two men prospecting 
with an iron bar, apparently sounding for 
something buried. On Tuesday last, while 
gunning in the same place, he saw two 
men digging, and they finally drove oil 
without finding what they were in search 
of. At night the young man with several 
friends went to the spot, and, after digging 
awhile, unearthed a tin box which proved 
to be that deposited by Colonel Boone, 
with all the stolen bonds* and a number of 
Boone’s private papers. No trace of the 
other box was found. 
In 1815 the Catholic Church at Martins- 
burg, W. Va., was broken into and robbed 
of its altar adornments, among which were 
a half-dozen heavily plated candelabra. 
On Monday last three candelebras were 
found by a hunter buried in the woods 
near Martinsburg, where they had lain 
thirty-four years. 
PUBLICATIONS. 
Harper's for November has a paper by 
Mr.W. N. ltidolng on the “ Old National Pike be¬ 
tween the East and the West, across the Alle- 
ghanies." The author, with his eloquent descrip¬ 
tion, assisted by Pyle’s excellent illustrations, re¬ 
produces in vivid colors the lively pageantry of 
this great highway, which little more than a gen¬ 
eration ago was the scene of atraiiic that 11 seems 
like a frieze with an endless procession of fig¬ 
ures. ” “ There were sometimes,” says the writ¬ 
er, “ sixteen gayly painted coaches each way a 
day; the cattle and sheep were never out of 
sight; the canvas-covered wagons wore drawn 
by six or twelve horses with bows of hells over 
their collars; the families of statesmen and mer¬ 
chants went by in private vehicles; and while 
most of the travellers were unostentatious, a 
few had splendid equipages and employed out¬ 
riders.” 
An nrtiole desersptive of “Cattle Ranches in Col¬ 
orado" is a paper which will prove of unusual in¬ 
terest to many of the readers of Forest and 
Stream, while others will read with equal care 
Professor N. W. Elliott’s article Ou “The Spar¬ 
row. War.” 
Lippinoott’s for November has an ex- 
eellent budget of good things. "Rambles of 
Three" is n spicy paper of frolic among the Pom¬ 
peian ruins. One of the most Interesting papers 
Is that of Cltali Seton on “ The Secret Societies 
of Southern Italy." “The Bicycle and Riding 
It” will be read with pleasure by the hosts of 
pooplo who are finding out the merits of that 
silent steed. 
PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
—The thread-wound, long range shot 
cartridge cases advertised in our columns 
by H. H. Schleber & Co., promise to be of 
great value to hunters of ducks, geese, 
deer, foxes, turkeys, and other game diffi¬ 
cult of approach. The cases containing the 
shot are held together by layers of thread 
of different length for the different dis¬ 
tances. The thread unwinds during the 
flight of the cartridge and at last releases 
the shot, giving great penetration, and 
good pattern up to twenty rods. They are 
warranted to harm no gun if the directions 
are followed. Of course good judgment 
of distance is required, because up to a 
certain point the cartridge goes as a solid 
bolt. The cases are sold empty to be load¬ 
ed by the consumer with any desired size of 
shot. 
Ferguson’s Rust Preventer.—W e have 
frequent inquires for a good rust preven¬ 
ter, and have much pleasure in calling at¬ 
tention to that prepared by Mr. Ferguson, 
of 65 Fulton street, which has been found 
to answer the purpose admirably, and is 
free from any injurious ingredients. 
—Bilious persons should avoid the use 
of coffee, and nervous persons the use of 
tea. An agreeable and healthful substitute 
is found in cocoa. Walter Baker & Co.’s 
ehocolate and cocoa preparations are highly 
recommended by the medical faculty, and 
are sold by all grocers.— Adv.
