Burglary, The dwelling of Mr.. VIM. Bird,
situate on Mulberry, west of Cove street, was
entered by burglars on Monday night last, and
two new shir s. pocket handkerchief, and
pair of shoes carried off, being the only booty
they obtained for their pains. An entrance
was made by breaking the glass in back win
dow, and removing a nail which secured the
sash. They took some German silver spoons
from the cupboard, but finding that they were
not the genuine metal, after breaking them in
two pieces, left them in the room. The shirts
were customer work which Mrs. Bird had IN
the house, and their loss falls extremely hard
upon the family. We hope the burglars may
be detected.
The City Despatch Post This enterprise, re-
Gently commenced in this city by Malcolm w.
Mcaris, Esq, has thus far met with as great
success as the protector anticipated. similar
establishment has long been in operation in n.
York and Philadelphia, and there is no reason
to suppose that it will not be extensively used
in our own city, which is rapidly increasing in
wealth and population, By this convenient
mode of transmitting epistolary intelligence,
persons in one extremity of the city may cheap
ly and easily communicate with their friends in
another. The project bids fair to meet with
public favor.
