DURGLAR'.-A singular net OF burglary
was attempted on Wednesday night in the
house Of Mr.. Penticost, on Delowate street,
Indianapolis. II seems that at about half.
past eight o'clock Mrs. Penticost, heard
some one rather cautiously enter the house.
This arousing her suspicion. she informed
Mt. Penticost Of what she had heard, where.
upon he went down stairs, searched every
room, except one that was occupied by some
students, they being absent at the time,
without discovering any one. The boys re-
turned to their room at ten o'clock, retired
to bed, aud were aroused about eleven
o. clock by the moving OF some villains
hand upon the breast Of one OF them. lie
in his fright, doubling himself up, gave the
burglar such a Tremendous blow with his
feet that he prostrated him upon the oppo
site side OF the floor. A struggle immedi.
ately ensued, in which the scoundrel was
successful in making good his escape. lie
must have been concealed under the bed
when the boys retired, observing where they
deposited their money. as he had succeeded
in procuring the pants in which was the
money Of one, and was senthiog the person
Of the other for his purse when disturbed.

surr.-The Courier is still agonizine
over the "extraordinary" vote in
Delaware township. That there
should have been an increased Re
publican majority offiity'two in Del
aware township seems to be thing
"most extraordinary" The people
of that township took the liberty o'
voting to suit themselves, without
consulting Mr.. Hollsbaugh, and he
feols called upon, for this grevious
oHonse to administer such rebuke
as the enormity Of the crime de-
mands. In addition to their "mosi
extraordinary vote" there is a host
OF Wide:A wakes in Delaware, and
Wide. A wakes, it is we'll known, are
the abomination of all straight-out
orthodox Douglasites. Now let us
examine how the case stands In
Delaware township, and we shall
soon see who it is that is acting
the kuave in the matter-whether
the accuser or the accused is more
worthy ofrebuke. In the frat place
we find that Mr.. Hollabaugh, to es
tablish his charge, has compared
the vote Of 1860 with that Of 1880
This is altogether unfair. Mr.. Hol-
labaugh could not have been ignor-
ant of the fact that in 1859 the vote
Of Hancock county fell nearly 1000
short OF the vote Of this year. In
Union township alone, the increase
over last year is los! Did this es
cape his notice? In Eagle the gain
over last year is sixty-seven. In
Blanchard eighty seven; in Marion
fifty. three; in Van Buren, eight.
And yet because Delaware has
gained sixty-three in that time, it is
prouounced thing unprecedented
in tile history of the countyl"-
Now, If the EIitor..of the Courier had
been disposed to be honest in his
comparisons, why did he not take
two years, in each Of which, there
was \ full vote? Why did he not
