SMART.-Cur friends, Messrs. Buttles
& Sons, request us to say to the gentle
man .hat broke into their Office, on the
evening of the 26 inst, that if they will
call and pay for sundry papers of smok-
ing tobacco, and half price for the coun-
terfeit bills abstracted from their safe,
and one light of glass, that they can have
the chisel and iron bars by identifying
the same. otherwise the implements will
be exposed at public sale. Aud further
more, they suggest, that it was altoge ther
unnecessary to carry of the key to the
safe, as it has not been locked heretofore
and will not be hereafter. And also.
that any person contemplating another
visit to their Office, by leaving word with
the proprietors during the day, can have
the key left in the door. And If it
would no: he deemed impertinent, as
this is about the sixteenth or seventeenth
time that they have been visited in this
manner they would merely ask by way
of information. if it has generally been
a paying Cleueldnd Herald.

An instance of the efficacy Of short
prayer is related in connection with the
history of Wyoming Valley. An Amer.
ican who had strayed into the woods
beyond the protection of the fort, was
surprised by body of Indians who had
been lying in ambush. A savage yell
and foot race resulted. In his flight
the American discovered an aged man
upon his knees praying for protection
against the savage foe; and in passing
near he cried out
old fellow you had better make that
Id short. If you want to save your
scalp.
The old man profited by the suggestion
by immediately pronouncing the amen:
aud then jumping up. seized the exten-
ded Land OF his young friend. by which
means. lney both barely escaped the tom,
ahawk.
