A Burglnrs's Den,

The New York Eraing Post gives
the following description OF the house
Of Pelsier, the Italian who murdered
policeman Anderson in New York:
"He occupied rooms upon the second
floor Of l20 Worth street, an old three c
story building.
"An Halian woman was the only per
son found upon the premises, and she
was at once arrested and taken iatc
custody. Two muskets, several pis
tolls, four pounds Of balls, keg and
canister OF powder, with quantity oI
shot, bowie knives, dirks, &c, were
found in his room. Il had the look of ar
arsenal; aud judsing from appearances
tho presumption is that this man ha!
play ed the most terrible crimes. No
only was large quantity Of arms an,
ammunition found, but great amount o
costly and valuable property. Severa
hundred dollars worth OF diamonds
two splendid gold watches, aud grea
amount Of jewelry were discovered. -
There was also much costly wearing
opparel for men and women. No les
than thirty five silk dresses, with gar
