Decidedly Cool.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer of the 23d
gives the following account of daring bur-
glary committed in that city on the night
previous: ..-.-
sLast night one of the most daring bur-
glaries was perpetrated on the Banking
House of the Cleveland Insurance Compa-
ny. The burglars opened the doors of the
Bank and of the Vaults by false keys, with
out alarming any one, and took away
T'welre Thousand Dollars.
The most experienced and ingeni Gus
cracksmsn in the country must have done
the work. The locks are uninju.ed and no
traces whereby to seek the perpetrators.
They very coolly left the following note
for the President of the Company.
@MR. CLARK:-Ws consider this safe
operation-this money is intended as an
appropriation for the Cuba expedition.
Yours respectfully, -"
A small package of forty dollars was
left on the counter, enclosed with directions
that the same be appropriated to benevolent
purposes The GOODNESS of the crime is quite
unparalleled in the annals Of crime in this
city.
The New York San will be gratifed to
hear of this said and comfort" to the Cuba
expedition. We hope the San is not inn
plicated in the affair.
LATER.-The loss Of the Company is as
certained to be as follows:

o. LIVERWORT.M

This plant has been for many years found
to be of singular virtue in the cure of affections
of the Liver. More recently it was ascertain
ed that it possessed great power in a~rresting
Bleeding at the Lungs, Coughs, of a chronic
character, etc, and Of essential service in all
diseases Of a pulmonary character.
Notwithstanding the extraordinary proper
ties Of these valuable ingredients were gener-
ally known and acknowledged, it was left for
DR.. Andrew Rogers to discover the process of
extracting and combining their peculiar virtues
with other vegetable substances such as Iceland
moss, wild cherry, ETC., to form a compound
hitherto unrivaled in the history of the cause
and cure Of the %varions diseases to which the
flesh is heir. -
" We copy below a letter from c. W
STARBUcK, Esq, publisher Cincinnati Daily
Times:-
1t is but justice to the proprietors and the
public, that the virtues of DR.. Rogers Com
pound Syrup of Liverwort and Tar, should be
Familiarity known to every one, and particular
ly to those afflicted with diseased lungs. We
have, as proprietor of a daily journal, watched
Its gradual rise and progress in the estimation
Of the most eminent, distinguished and intel
ligent among our citizens, for the past five
years. Numerous instances of its incompara-
BILE virtues have been brought under our imme-
date notice; the innunerable and extraordi-
nary Testimonials of its excelIency we know
to be really true. Such men as Judge Burke,
Professor Cox, NJ. D., Rev. &. w. Maley and
Others. are no fictitious, but eminent and dis
%tinguisheh citizens, whose recommends
tions cannot but inspire confidence, and
give a popularity and dignity 10 this, which
such a preparation can seldom hope to obtain,
and were it not so, our own personal expert
ence, and that of others attached to our office,
enables us to say, with certainty, that we con-
slider it the happiGst compound, and most val
liable remedy now before the public. No terms
can express the entire confidence and pleasure
with which we recommend il for those COM
plants to to the public, in whatever part of
the globe Colds, Coughs, OF that horrible
scourge Of humauity, Consumption exists. We
say for FIVE years we have seen it tested under
different circumstances, in the most favorable
and uufavorable cases, critically and almost
hopelessly, from simple bronchitis to despair
ing consumption, and can say that we know
Of no instance where it has been found want
ing, and our opinion can be endorsed by hum
dreds Of our most refined and estimable fellow
citizens, that whatever may have been the
case with Others, the high position and extra
ordinary popularity Of a specific remedy is
not, in this Instance, undeserved.
