BURGLARS ABouT.-Our city was
visited Tuesday night by REGULAR nest Of
burglars who made havoc among the doors
windows and personal effects of our citizens
Mr., Hills who lives on the corner OF 18th
and Perry streets had his house entered by
the parlor window and several articles sto
len. The thief entered by the window
aforesaid and after ransacking the parlor
where he succeeded in finding and appro-
priating several articles Of trfling value he
started up stairs to see if he could not find
something worthy OF his attention. Enter
ing Mr. Hills room, the burglar discovered
the clothes Of that gentleman lying on a
chair by the side Of his bed, and thinking
perhaps, that individual might have left a
portion of his epare cash in his garments. he
appropriated them without further notice
Az luck would have it, however. Mr.. Hills
had not left his money in his clothes. and
the burglar got very little that he could
make available for his paine. Mr.. Hills lost
several articles of convenience to himself
but Of no value to the thief.
The house Of Mr.. Charles Powers, who
lives in that immediate vicinity, was also
entered and several articles taken. The
thief entered the dining room window by
prying off the fastening. After raneacking
the dining room, he went into the parlor
where several articles of considerable value
were laying on the table. but appropriated
nothing but hat. The thief then proceed
ed to bedroom which vas used as clothes
press. From this room he took several pill
lows, lot Of bed clothes and servant girls
shawl A great many valuable articles were
hanging up in this room, none Of which were
touched.
The burglars then proceeded to the store
of Mr.. Monger, corner Of 18th and Brady
streets, which they entered by prying the
door off the hinges. From this store they
took . number Of articles Of more or less
value, all of which would seem to indicate
that the thief was . citizen of Davenport OF
the immediate vicinity.
We think that careful lookout will lead
70 the detection Of the bold scamps who have

% The Baltimore Sun gives a
long account of the search of old Ossawat
tamie Browns house, and also gives long
list Of the articles found. From the Sun,
account we clip the following:
One small box, containing cartridges, was
inscribed with the initials J. b written on
the back of nearly obliterated card. with
the following printed advertisement: -
:" From Burr l. Swift, Wholesale and retail
dealers and importers Of groceries, -,
fish, fruit, tobacco, cigars. -, glass, salt,
rope, woodenware, etc, commission and
forwarding merchants, -. between Front
aud Second, Davenport. Iowa." Another
unopened box, supposed to contain rifles,
was addressed to IT. B. Eldridge. Mt:
Pleasant, -" The succeeding portion Of
the address, the name Of the State perhaps,
had been carefully obliterated.
Mt. Pleasant is in this State. The box
was undoubtedly one which had been nsed
by yonng Coppic, who has brother resi-
ding in this city. Coppis was one ol
Browns company, and was arrested.
The young man residing in this city was
questioned not long sinee - to his broth.

~ The following article we copy
from the Lexington kyposttor, at the re>
quest of DR.. j j. Burtis. DR.. Burts was
well acquainted with the deceased for a
long term OF years prior to his death-Nr
French having boarded with him during his
proprietor-hip Of the City Hotel In the
death of Mr. French, Dr. b. says lie feels as
if he had lost the best friend he had on
earth, and one for whom he had ever enter
tanned sentiments of profound respect Mr..
French was a lawyer Of acknowledged abili
ty and talents, and was noted for his hon
esty and uprightness. He would never
engage in suit unless he thought there
was Justice on his clients side, and when he
was satisfied Of this, he threw all his extra
ordinary powers into the cause he had es-
poused, and rarely failed in gaining a fav-
orable verdict.
In the death Of Mr.. French, the State of
Missouri has lost one Of her best citizens,
and the bar ore of its brightest ornaments:
A VETERAN LAWYER GoNE-On Friday
morning last, the many friends and AGO rain-
tances IN this city of Charles French, Esq
were saddened by the inform tion that early
that morning he had, in fit of temporary
insanity, done Violence to himself, and that
in all human probability. the self inflcte
wound would terminate fatally. DIR. Ruffn
and oae or two other gentlemen, immedi-
ateiy started for the residence of Mr.. Tod
Davis, where Mr French was at the time of
the sad occurrence but before they reached
there he was dead. The wounds, VIII ch he
had inflicted upon his throat with a razor,
were mortal, and he died about 2 F. NJ.
By such sad means, n a moment when
sickness had unsettled the strong mind, has
n long, an eventful, and an honorable life
Terminated. Though without family ties
here, they are many TO mourn over the
death of Mr. French. He was g man OF
sterling integrty-one to whom all looked
up with respect and admiration
To the members of that profession Of
which he had so long been member, it is
unnecessary to say that few men in Missou
ri stood so high as jurist; but what places
a halo upon the memory Of Charles French
is the fact of his widely known integrity in
his profession. 1t is said Of him, and We
believe said with truth. that he never could
be induced to appear in q cause where he
did not think justice was with it.
Dnring the many years which, previous
to his retirement from the bar, he practiced
law in this city, not the slightest departure
from the exalted line of conduct be had
marked out for himself occurred
Peace to his ashes! With the SHOWS of
seventy winters upon his head. Charles
French has gone down to the tomb, leaving
such reputation in that profession to which
he devoted his life as few can emulate.
On Saturday evening 9 meeting of the
bar was called to take action on this mourn.
ful event and on Sunday morning the body
was placed in its last resting place in Ma
cephelah Cemetry.
