DARING ATTEMPT AT BuRGL4RY.-YesterdA
morning the house Of Mr.. VIM H. Keith, on ST. Clair
ST., was entered by couple Of burglars, by pushing
the keys of the hall door in and opening the door
with false keys. The noise caused by the keys falling
upon the hOer, awoke Mr.. +. B. Pearson, who
slept in the house during the absence of Mr. Keith
Taking his revolver he stepped into the hall and
waited to see what the midnight gents were up to.
One of them went to Mr.. P.'s room and commenc-
ed ransacking his pants pocket taking therefrOm
bunch of keys and pocket book Mr.. P followed
and fired at him, but unfortunately the revolver
hung fire. The burglar Immediately closed in
upon Mr. P, when violent scufhe ensued, In the
course ofwhich the burglar was thrown upon the
floor. The rascal to relieve himself from his tight
place, threw pepper into Mr.. P.'s eyes, which
blinded him for the time being, and the rascals i'm
proved the opportunity to escape, without, how
ever, taking anything With them.
Much credit is due Mr. Pearson for the courage
he displayed, and it is to be hoped that the next
time he comes incontact with any Of these scoun
drels, he will be more successful in endesvoriug tc
shoot them.s

The BUREs CENTENARY.-The one hundredth
anniversary of the birth ofthe worlds poet, Robert
Burns, was las. night celebrated at Chapin's Hall
in manner honorable to the descendants of Old
Scotia A large company was present and the
festivities passed off in very happy manner.
After an Introductory address by the President,
VIM. Lowrie, Prof Edgarton delivered Fitz Greene
Halleck's poem on Burns in very fine manner
He was urged to recite other pieces but declined
Mr.. Vim. B. Hall sang "Annie Laurie, " that never
dying ballad, together with when the night wind
bewaieth"
The oratlon by J. C. Grannis, Esq, was an able
eulogium upon the Saint of the occasion. 1t was a
fine address.
Bayard Taylor being present by special invita-
ton, was called upon for some remarks. He emade
a brief address, relating personal recoections of
the scenes in which the life of Burns was passed
He related an snecdote Of the Bard which we have
never, we believe, seen in print At time when
Burns was exciseman, Fe estiVal was given by his
fellow excsemen, in the course of which, the toast
of Robert Pitt was given. Ali drank it save Burns
who sat with inverted glass. When all had drank
to the memory of Pitt, Burns arose and remarked
that he would give them greater name than the
one they had toasted-GEoRGE WASHINGTON
Many interesting facts connected with the return
of the sons of Burns from India with the public re-
ceptiOn given them by the people of Ayr, were
given, rendering the narrative very interesting
Mr.. Taylors personal acquaintance with scenes
connected with Burns, gave his remarks much ad.
ditional interest.
The Cleveland Scottish poet, John Proudfoot,
delivered short and spicy poem upon Burns and
the Festival.

SENATE
Mr.. Davis would suggest an inquiry into the
offence against the Senate; and said, amid much
laughter, that he had accidentally discovered and
communicated the fact to the Vice President, thai
there was a small room within ear shot Of the
northeast corner Of the lobby, having no egresE
except by trap door.
- The room was searched and found to contain
Two black coats
He would suggest an investigation as to wheth,
er workmen had been bribed TO construct hiding
places fer caves droppers; any how there is cal
hole in the north east corner of the lobby.
Mr.. Mason said the experience of Senators must
have indicated that information Of secret trans
actions in the Senate is obtained less from the
eaves-dropping persons than from breach of con-
fdence on the part of some one enjoying conf.
dence. He referred as an example to the secret
deliberations on treaty five or six years since,
which were daily spread abroad in the newspapers
He concluded with some remarks on that portion
of the press correspondents who write for the de.
prIved taste of the public. The subject was then
dropped.
Mr. Green submitted resolution calling for the
correspondence of Mr.. Mugent, special agent at
Yancouvers Island and Columbia, which was
adopted.
The Pacific R. R. bill was taken up.
With the exception Of brief remarks from Mr..
Wilson, who offered an additional amendment, and
from Messrs. Simmons, BrOderiek, and Davis, Mr..
johnson, OF Tenn, occupied the whole day in ex-
planning why he would vote against the bill, which
be considered neither q necessary act under the
war making power of the Constitution. nor as q
test of Democracy.
The discussion of Mr. SlidelI's Cuban report was
assigned for Monday next when the Senate ad-
journed.
HOUSE.
Mr.. CoEode, of Pa, said he did not wish it to be
considered that he voted against the bill because

ton, had a clerk to spare to go into his District,
and operate against him.-(Laughter
Mr.. English reported bill regulating the pay
ment ofthe postage on newspapers and periodicals.
It provides that periodical dealers may receive
their bundles on paying postage thereon, the same
as regular subscribers. Maps, engravings, phosO
graphs, &c., pay postage one cent per ounce,
or fraction Of an ounce.
The bill proposes to punish persons who receive
money for postage, but fTauduently withhold it,
or who fail 10 deliver letters taken out of the oce
addressed to others. The bill was referred to the
Committee Of the Whole on the state Of the Union
Mr.. Wood, from the P. o. Com reported a bill
to establish national line of steamships from GER
tain ports In the U. S. and Great Britain.
The House went into Com. on the Civil and Di-
