Five | business places were burglarized, and the I safe in each place broken open. At Fer j rin Bros. & Russell's Elovator, an entrance j was effectod by sliding tho catch to one of | the windows on the oorth side of the building, with a fl it instrument. The safe, weighing 4,7(10 pounds, manufactured by the De- I trr it Safe & Lock C stands in tho office. I aud was opened by drilling a three-eights inch bole near tho.combinat on, and putting ! in dynamito and blowing the safe to pieces. The thieves obtained $4 in pennies, $1H in silver, and overlooked $12 in bills. The day cash drawer in the desk w as forced open and about one dollar's worth of two-cent postage stamps taken, leaving a quantity of one-cent postage stamps untouched. At W. K. Moore & Co's Flour Mill, the burglars entered the mill by breaking a window on the south side of the building and unfastencniug the catch on the inside. The safe I weighing 1,(180 pounds, and manufactured by McNeal & Urban, of Cincinnati, is locat| ed in tho office, and was opened very easily j by drilling a three eights of an inch hole, noar tho combination and in just the right j spot to force tho lock off by means of a ' punch. Nineteen dollars and twenty cents, | including a quantity of punched coin, wns j secured. Tho made their exit from j the soutb door of the mill leavlog it unfastened. R. B. Moore's coal yard office received a visit, an entrance beiug effected through a window on tho east side of the building. The safe, weighing 4,300 pounds, manufactured by McNeal & Urban, of ' incinnati, stands on the east side of the office. The outside doors were closed, but not lock- j ed with the combination, for t he reason that it is not the custom to leave anything In the j safe of value. Tuat night, however, was an ' exception, and the thieves secured about j | twenty dollars in money, including thirteen i trade dollars. The inside door was opened' j by driving the lockoff. John Noblo's Bakery, on Market street, was entere 1 by boring a hole in the front door and driving off the catch to the lock on the door casing. Mr. Noble has a now safe weighing 2.9d0 pounds, manufactured by tho Moslei Safe & Lock Company, of Cincinnati, Tho outside doors and the cash box inside were both open. There was nothing of value in tho safe, but the burglars undoubtedly found a lock that was new to them, for the reason that they 1 forced it off, took it apart and examined it. | About fifty cents in small silver coin was i taken from tho cash diawer under the coun ter, leaving a few pennies. W. D. Bdliott's [ drugstore, on Market stieet, was undoubt| edly the last pace visited by I he gang, as a ! dark lantern and bit stalk were left in the back room of the store, and a heavy sledge i hammer and two chisels were found this rooming in a yard back of the building. An entrance was made through two doois in the rear of the store. The front door was unlocked, and then fastened from the Inside in a manner so that it could be easily ' opened from the inside, and at the same time bother any one to g in an entrance from the street. Mr. B illiett has a Briggs safe, weighing 1,000 pounds. Tbo knob to the combination was broken off, and the handle twisted out. The whole front of the safe was blown off, striking a prescription case and doing more or less damage. The safe lock and inside of the safe were ruined. The thieves secured ote dollar and a half in money, leaving a quantity of pennies. The Misses Ley don have a dress-making room over tie store, and they we»e awakened by the noise and got up and one of them went d w n a pair or outside stairs in the rear of the build ng and looked Into the store mil saw two men. The noise was also heard by Mr. Craine who has a grocery store east of Mr. Balliett's, and he arose, j dressed himself and went out on tha stieet and looker! into the dru.' store but could not see -any one or detect anything wrong, and went back home aud retired. Tbis wns | was about 4 o'clock. Tho work performed is conclusive evidence that the genu are experts in the business, and that It Is poor policy to leave money in a store, safe or office ] where no one seeps. WILSON.

The past six months have beon most remarkable In many respects. Not going abroad to review ths unusual strife uiid confusion In foreign countries, inclullng war, pestilence, earthquakes, &c. When we take a blrd'soyc-view of our own surroundings, the unusual political s rife, the reckless course pursued by tlie Press and politicians, the little regard held to deceucy and honor, the second subor thought prompts us to exclaim: | " 11 us u.it Satan been let loose for a season— and h '« the end come."

Five business places were burglarized, and the I safe in each place broken open. At Fer j rin Bros. & Russell's Elovator, an entrance j was effectod by sliding tho catch to one of the windows on the oorth side of the building, with a fl it instrument. The safe, weighing 4,7(10 pounds, manufactured by the De- I trr it Safe & Lock C stands in tho office. I aud was opened by drilling a three-eights inch bole near tho.combinat on, and putting ! in dynamito and blowing the safe to pieces. The thieves obtained $4 in pennies, $1H in silver, and overlooked $12 in bills. The day cash drawer in the desk w as forced open and about one dollar's worth of two-cent postage stamps taken, leaving a quantity of one-cent postage stamps untouched. At W. K. Moore & Co's Flour Mill, the burglars entered the mill by breaking a window on the south side of the building and unfastencniug the catch on the inside. The safe I weighing 1,(180 pounds, and manufactured by McNeal & Urban, of Cincinnati, is locat ed in tho office, and was opened very easily j by drilling a three eights of an inch hole, noar tho combination and in just the right j spot to force tho lock off by means of a ' punch. Nineteen dollars and twenty cents, including a quantity of punched coin, wns j secured. Tho made their exit from j the soutb door of the mill leavlog it unfastened. R. B. Moore's coal yard office received a visit, an entrance beiug effected through a window on tho east side of the building. The safe, weighing 4,300 pounds, manufactured by McNeal & Urban, of ' incinnati, stands on the east side of the office. The outside doors were closed, but not lock- j ed with the combination, for t he reason that it is not the custom to leave anything In the j safe of value. Tuat night, however, was an ' exception, and the thieves secured about j twenty dollars in money, including thirteen i trade dollars. The inside door was opened' j by driving the lockoff. John Noblo's Bakery, on Market street, was entere 1 by boring a hole in the front door and driving off the catch to the lock on the door casing. Mr. Noble has a now safe weighing 2.9d0 pounds, manufactured by tho Moslei Safe & Lock Company, of Cincinnati, Tho outside doors and the cash box inside were both open. There was nothing of value in tho safe, but the burglars undoubtedly found a lock that was new to them, for the reason that they 1 forced it off, took it apart and examined it. About fifty cents in small silver coin was i taken from tho cash diawer under the coun ter, leaving a few pennies. W. D. Bdliott's [ drugstore, on Market stieet, was undoubt edly the last pace visited by I he gang, as a ! dark lantern and bit stalk were left in the back room of the store, and a heavy sledge i hammer and two chisels were found this rooming in a yard back of the building. An entrance was made through two doois in the rear of the store. The front door was unlocked, and then fastened from the Inside in a manner so that it could be easily ' opened from the inside, and at the same time bother any one to g in an entrance from the street. Mr. B illiett has a Briggs safe, weighing 1,000 pounds. Tbo knob to the combination was broken off, and the handle twisted out. The whole front of the safe was blown off, striking a prescription case and doing more or less damage. The safe lock and inside of the safe were ruined. The thieves secured ote dollar and a half in money, leaving a quantity of pennies. The Misses Ley don have a dress-making room over tie store, and they we»e awakened by the noise and got up and one of them went d w n a pair or outside stairs in the rear of the build ng and looked Into the store mil saw two men. The noise was also heard by Mr. Craine who has a grocery store east of Mr. Balliett's, and he arose, j dressed himself and went out on tha stieet and looker! into the dru.' store but could not see -any one or detect anything wrong, and went back home aud retired. Tbis wns was about 4 o'clock. Tho work performed is conclusive evidence that the genu are experts in the business, and that It Is poor policy to leave money in a store, safe or office ] where no one seeps. WILSON.
