Be CAREFuL.-A fire alarm at the lower end Of
Main street, on Thursday noon, brought people
to their feet in double quick time. Some newly
burned charcoal, which had been deposited in the
basement of Frost IL Co.'S shop the day before,
and which probably contained fire when put there,
had ignited. but was'immediately discovered and
put out. Some of the sufferers by the July fire
went through all sorts Of gymnastc performance,
and looked terribly undecided, when the alarm
was given. Wooden buildings have been erected
on the whole of the burnt district, and the in
tcnsely hot weather Of the past month has season
ed the lumber to such degree that fire once
started would cause rapid destruction again.
House owners renting property to Chinese tenants
should be strict in requiring them TO keep stove
pipes in safe condition, aud preventing the care
less of fire in any way. Caution cannot be
too strictly urged.

The Mail Robbery Mania.

Eascaiity occasionally ranges in the form
of IN epidemic. The successful operations
of one set Of plunderers, are the certain pre-
lude IL other attempts, which may prove
equally rcmunerativc, or may fail, accord
Ing to the degree of shrewdness that's exer-
cised. One very unpleasant mania appears
TO be lst now prevalent Certain long-tin-
gercd parties scattered over the country,
have conceived a sudden fancy for pryng into
the contents of mail-bags, and extracting
theretrom such available material as drafts,
bank notes, small change and postage stamps
1t is not the professional burgla who always
breaks into your letters. nor the impolitc
footpad who stops the maii-coach. Four or
five fragrant cases Of mail robbery, reported
during the past fortnight, indicate remark
able variety in the characters Of these dep
redators, TO say nothing Of the more impor-
tant intimation which they give of lax man
agemcnt in the entire Post-oiiice system
Two of these instances are peculiarly wor-
thy of attention. Onc Phillip Reed was
postmaster in the little town Of Poolsvlle, in
Maryland. lie seems To have had the OPP
portunity Of handling thc lettcr-bags destined
for Western Maryland and likewise appears
to have improved his opportunities, for nu-
mcrouS losses were reported from time to
time and the evil became very grievous.-
The cries Of the dcspoilcd people having oc-
casoned considerable uproar, an investiga-
ton was ordered, which resulted in the arrest
Of Reed, and his committal to prison in Bal
timorc. Another ease of similar character
was in Philadelphia, last week. One Peter
keeIavour, Il young man, formerly Deputy
Postmaster ut Centrcville, Pennsylvania, was
arraigncd to answer for stealing $40 from n
letter during its passage through that office,
and is now under bonds 10 appear for trial

lated boldly within the walls of the Post-ot-

system of checks and balances which has
been devised for the government nf our Post
office Department Other robherles, still
more fragrant, have been reported. but these
may stand ~ the latest examples of which
the public has knowledge.
The alleged burglary upon the Brooklyn
