A N.-Housekeepers must be on
their guard, vixen thieves succeed in such en-
terprises IS was practised at the house of A.
w. Sawyer, ON Portland street, last Friday
might. 1t was about l0a clock, and Mr.. Saw
yer had just retired for the night, when his
wife thought she heard movements about the
house, and shortly after got up to satisfy her.
self as to whether her fears were groundless,
when she found the doors all open. Mr.. Saw
yer Immediately got up and found that his
wallet had been distracted from his clothing
which he had only just taken of, and that the
closet, containing moveables of value, was
open. Undoubtedly the Jail bird" intended
to ransacz the house, and were only foiled by
the timely caution of Mrs. Sawyer 1t is very
probable the thief entered the house unobserv-
ed before night, and there are reasons to think
he was hid under Mr.. Sawyer's bed, and
trusted to his light feet, his sleight of hand,
and his brass, to rob the house. He escaped
with about S25 of stolen money. The wallet
was found empty next morning in the garden.
Moral-don't leave your doors open and un-
guarded in these days, when SO many auda-
cious rascals are prowling about to take advan-
tage of such opportunities.

ATTEMPT AT SUIcIDE.-Charles G.. Dexter,
living on Central street in this city, who has
several times been convicted in our courts for
violation of the liquor law, and has been ad
dicted to habits of intemperance, made an at
tempt at suicide on Saturday morning last.
He arose early as usual on that morning, and
returning, before breakfast, took a tumber and
went up stairs to his own room. Some of his
family going up soon AFTER found him appar-
emily in an insensbe condition-it was sup
posed from haying taken strychnine or some
other violent poison. DIR. Benjamin Haywood
was sent for and an emetic was administered,
which had the salutary effect of relieving him
of a quantity of very poor rum. On return
ing to consciousness, Dexter stated that he had
taken strychnine, purchased month ago.
The doctor states that the tumbler smelt
strongly of quinine, and expresses the opinion
that the excessive potation of rum had as much
to do with his insensibility as anything else.

CONCERT AT MECHANICS HALL.-The Mu-
steal Convention, under the direction of Prof
Baker and Mr.. Edward Hamilton, closed on
Friday evening with concert, which was a
success in every sense of the word. The pro-
gramme consisted of selections from the echo
raj Harmony and Duets and solos from 9TH
er sources. Among these, the chorus, with
soprano obligato Of Rourke, was gem, which
the perfect adaptation of Mrs. Little's voice to
the music made complete. The solos by Miss
es Whiting and Fiske were finely rendered,
and the people of Worcester may well be
proud of such artists. The cantata is SPLEEN
did composition, and was admirably perform
ed, considering the circumstance that the score
must have been new to many of the singers
The solos were given with great effect by Mrs
Little and Miss Smart Mr.. Ball and Mr.. Ry-
der, and the choruses and instrumental ac-
compartment were excellent. We cannot
help speaking of the delicious smoothness and
richness of Miss Smart's voice. 1t was rare
pleasure to hear it. The hall was crowded, a
sufficient proof that our citizens know how to
appreciate good music.

SHOCKING DEsEcRATIoN.-The Cambridge
Chronicle REPORTS several cases of heartless and
wanton dissertation which have recently taken
place in the old burial ground on Harvard
street. Several of the tombs were broken
open by violence in July last, the coffins
thrown about and broken, the bones distribu-
ted and cast out and other outrages commit.
ted by persons unknown. Again on Sunday
last one of these tombs was found with the door
split open, the collins of the little children bro
ken and crushed to pieces, with bricks and
stones thrown on them, the larger collins
thrown over and broken in, bones and frag-
ments thrown over the ground limbs of trees
and boards strewn on them, and the skull torn
of from one of the dead, and all the sacred rel
les barbarously and inhumanly trampled I'M
der foot. 1t was with mingled grief, horror,
and indignation that the family who owned
this tomb came and looked on its desolation.
The mother, daughter, sister, with an agoniz-
ed heart and trembling hands, feeling in the
damp mould for those poor bones of her chill
dren, laying the little ribs together, replacing
the sacred head her mother, gathering frag.
ments of her sisters form here and there, and
with heavy sobs carefully restoring them, had
a task harder and crueller than that of Rizpah,
and as nobly and worthily performed. With
revolving daring the miscreant returned on
Monday at noon, and again began to break in
the tomb.

PoLITICAL.--Our South Shore neighbors
are early in the field. The Republicans of
Barnstable county have nominated for sheriff,
David Bursely of Barnstable for county COM
missioner, John w. Davis of Wellfeet; and
expressed their preference for Bailey Sanford
of Taunton for district attorney. The Cape
senatorial district has nominated for the SEN
ate Marshal S. Underwood of Dennis.
The New York correspondent of the Charles
ton Mercury says that of the filbusters, the
only notable ones left among us are Wheat and
Henningsen In the general topsy -turvying
of all their Nicaragua and Cuban plans, these
gallant souls don't know what to do with them
selves. They may be seen every evening at
the St. Nicholas, where they are pointed out
to strangers as curious specimens Of a race of
beings, now, alas, nearly extinct.

TATNUcK School DIsTRIoT.-The inhabit-
ants of this large school district, which mus
tiers over 100 pupils, are soon to be provided
with commodious and convenient school
house, proportionate to the wants of that dis
trict. The new building erected by the city
for that purpose, and now nearly completed, is
a substantial edifice of brick, two stories high
with dimensions ample for the accommodation
of the school children of that section of the
city 1t is situated on the site of the old house,
on Pleasant street, a little removed from the
street The grounds in front are to be orna-
mented with trees and shrubbery, and alto
gether the house will present beautiful ap-
pearance to the passerby. The old school
house building which is of wood, has been
removed to the street running south from
Pleasant street. opposite its old location where
it will be fitted up into a convenient hall for
meetings, &c.
The enterprisng people of the district had a
public meeting a few evenings since, E. f
Chamberlin presiding, and, discarding "Tat-
muck" and other barbarous appellations, in
common use, as corruptions of the language,
voted to adopt the euphonious name Of "Tat.
nook" for their district. The original Indian
name Of this place was Tatahassett They
then organized themselves into an association
to be called the "Tatnook Lyceum Associa-
ton" for mutual improvement in discussions,
lectures, &C. An organization of this associa-
ton is to be effected at another meeting soon
to be held. Tho place of meeting is to be the
old school house building which is now under
going the requisite repairs for the purpose.
The property of the association is to consist
of $50 shares of So each.

KILLED BY A RoosTER-Henry Black, of
Newport, Pa, who undertook to sever the head
oil men, was attacked by rooster, which
spurred him ON the hand into an artery.
About two weeks after the accident he was IT.
tackled with intense pain, sckening sensation
OF the heart and his suflrings became insup-
portable. AT this date, a remarkable occur
renee took place lie drew his entire frame
together, as though to gain strength for an act,
aud his voice broke forth like the growing of a
rooster. This was repeated from time to time,
and such was the similarity of voices, that the
outside listeners asserted their belief that it
was a rooster. After four days Of indescrib.
able suffering, he died.

FUNERAL OF DEAR MUTE.--.One of the
pupils of the Institution for the Deaf and
Dumb, having met with a fatal accident on the
railroad, few days since, the funeral was held
in the chapel Of the Institution on Saturday
last All the exercises were conducted in the
sign language, by the Principal, DIR. Peet, and
was attended to with fixed attention and inter.
est by the assembled pupils. To those who
could not comprehend the signs it was mys.
terious pleasure to perceive with what evident
apprehension Of the subject these unfortunates
received the words addressed to them while it
was source of qualification that the door of
knowledge is thus opened to them, that they
may be led to the appreciation Of truths the
most profound. IN Y. Evening Post.
