A special from Kingstree to tho Sun day News uayn: "A (Taring and myste rious robbery occurred in this usually M*. kL U, place, was ? 12 o'clock midnighfc and daylight of $10$ irf canh and a check for $22 on an Atlanta bank, al?o his doublo^barrol shotgun, watch and chain, his bat anil five oigars, and two one-cent pieces. "Air.

"Mr. Htutts thinks that both himself and wifo were chloroformed, as they both slept late this morning, /md felt queer and somewhat stupoticd npon being aronsed from their slum bers. There was a lamp burning in the room where ?Mr. Stuttn and family were sleeping when the robbery took place. Mr, Htutts baa no apeoiAl reason for aua pcctiog anyone, and it can scarcely be .said that any clue ovists to the rob bery, "fb'is is -the second robbe.y that hak ocmuicd in JKiftgstreo rccontly. The door to the safe in tho express office was blown off some weeks since, but fortun ately the robbers were frightened away. 'A his robbery of Mr Stutls +a?4U,4be more unfortunate as the greater p*rt of tho money stolen from him belonged to the state dispensary, aud it wilt be very hard on him to have it to pay back.

Tho argument in favor of the pro pcood change is that the bulk ayatem will r over provo Batiafaotory to tho j people who live ip oitiof of tho aise 1 dioatod.

Tho ohange it is thought will settle all igauoA ovor the diapensary satisfactorily, '1 his is tho view thoso who talk of pushing the measure take of. the mat tor.
