NO. 3I6 Fourth street, was entered by burglars
during the temporary absence of the family in the
country, and robbed of Si00 worth of plate and
clothing, besides S44, 900 in bonds and certificates
OF stock. The last mentioned property, it appears

ri FAwKEs' STEAM PLow FArLURE.-During the
ILLINOIS State Fair, at Jacksonville, Fawkes' steam
plow was again submitted to Il practical test in a
iorty-acre field and proved bad failure. 1t was
tested last year, but it thought its failure then
couid De Temcdied by some improvements of the
machinery. Alterations and improvements were
made IN Cincinnati, but perfection has not been at
tanned. OF the performance at Jacksonville the
correspondent of the Harrisburg Press writes:
"Mr Fawkes began plowing at IL O'clock draw
ing SIX plows; steam 130 degrees; ran II minutes;
stopped steam at so; stopping 10 minutes; started
again; ran the whole of one minute, and actually
StODDpd started arain A.
grees; ran one minute; stopped steam at 100.
y t6 It, and we certainly consider that
this days trial is complete failure under the
peculiar circumstances of which circumstances
every one connected with the Agricultural SOcety
is well aware"
A SrRoNG SAFE.-There is a bank safe on exhibit
ton at the National Fairn Cincinnati which really
deserves more than passing notice. 1t is eight
feet high, made of the best boiler ron and the lin
ing is also made of boiler iron. The space between
the outer walls and the lining is filled with a pecu-
lular substance which becomes as hard as the hard
est granite, and always remains dry. But the lock
Is the great point. Across the outer door extends
heaVy par OF iron, sunk into the surface of the
door, and fastened by a combination lock Under
meath this bar lies concealed the kevhole of the fa
nous English Brama lock, which being unlocked a
double door three inches thick made of solid steel
plates opens, and discloses not the interior of the
safe, but another pair Of doors of equal strength
fastened by the patent Tumbler lock. Nor is this
all. The lastnamed doors being opened we see A
third pair of steel plate doors. Here then we have
locks without KEYS or keyhole capable of million
different combinations, and which can only be
opened by the one who closed them.
SEIZURE OF Church PLATE IN MExlCo.-Since our
last we have been shown a number of private let
tcrs from Mexico, in reference to the recent demand
OF the MramOn Government that the church plate
be placed at Its disposal to raise money for the de-
fence of the capital and the continuance of the
civil war. To the honor of the clergy be it said it
was in most cases refused, and at the last accounts
received at Vera Cruz, only paltry sum had thus
been raised 1t is stated, moreover, that in nearly
every case where the plate has thus been taken and
sold, it was by force alone. And among those who
were most active in this work of sacrilege was
Robes PeZuea, late Minister to Washington now
commanding at Pueba, who was daily packing up
such pieces as he able to put his hands on and
sending them off to Mexico-N o. Picay,me

The friends of Mr.. j. Scott Russell will be pleased

in Mr.. Russells favor. The arbitrators were

THE Rights OF FRENCH NATURAMzED CGTIzENs-
The decision Of the French Tribunal in the case of
Puyoou, naturalized French citizen of the United
States, goes further than was first reported. The
impression was that he released by the French
Government from military service because, at the
time he emigrated from France, the service was
not due. But the decision rested upon the law of
France that the quality of Il French citizen is for
feted by naturalization, and that foreigners cannot

ence, therefore, whether a Erenchman emigrates
before or after military service becomes due so
soon as he becomes naturaized in a foreign coun-
try, he ceases to be a Frenchman, and the French
Government has no claim upon him.

by the backness of the fearless eye by the fixed

by the contracted brow, by the datng nostril, we
know that the soul is to leave its mortal tene-
ment, and is already closing its windows and put
ting out its fires"
