off Wilmington, Del. with our rudder

Attempt to Rob.

On Thursday evening last, between
IL and u O'Clock, the dwelling of Mr..
George Rice, in Coryell street, a few
doors above Main, was entered thro'
a back W ipdow, by one or more per-
sons with the evident intention of rob-

enabled 10 effect an easy entrance. In
front of the dwelling, Mrs. Rice keeps
a confectionery establishment aud their
object seemed to be to get in the store,
and they succeeded by removing the
bolt that fastens the door leading from
the kitchen to the store. Mrs. Rice
had not yet fallen asleep, when the
thieves entered, and she heard the
noise when they entered through the
back window of the house. Mrs. r.

that two or three boys had been ar

On Sunday evening last the resi-

next door to the Office, was visited by
two of the same lads, and the base

stones. While they were further pros

point of attacr their movements were
discovered, and a chase instituted,
which resulted in the capture Of one

window, gave the alarm Mr.. Ner-
ney, who lives near by, heard the
alarm, got up and armed himself with
kuife, and a revolver, and fastened
to the relief of Mr.. & Mrs. Rice, but
arrived too late to get a shot at the
burglars, they having made their es-
cape, probably having been frightened
by the alarm raised by Mrs. Rice.
Mrs. Rice had considerable sum
of money in the house, which she in
tended to take with her to Philadel-
phia the next morning to purchase
stock for her store. 1t would appear

Who is " PhiIO Union !''

owe have received communication from
"Philo Union commenting on an expression
attributed to the "Press." We have carefully
looked over that paper, and cannot find the
language he credits it with, and it would there
fore be improper to publish the article.
Had Mr.. "Philo Union" sent us
his communication, we would have
done him the honor to publish it. IF
Mr.. "Philo Union" had anything to
say in reply to an article that appeared
in the Press this was the proper place
for it, and not to annoy our neighbor
with matters that he had no particu-
lar interest in Send it along, Mr.

the benefit of our circulation ! with

The Am erican Rangers.

On Wednesday morning last, the
American Rangers. of Frenchtown,
Capt. WM. Fl. Slater, passed through
this place, on their way to Trenton,
their ser ices having been rendered
and accepted by the Governor; They
went to Trenton for the purpose of
being mustered into the service Of their
country 1t appears after their arri-
val in that city, the full complement of
four regiments had been mustered in
to the service, and Captain Slater and
his company wee holorably discharg-
elk.
L. is somev hat singular after this
company had held themselves in read
mess for months, had been accepted by
the Governor, was as good a set of
men ever went to Trenton, well drilled,
&c, that they should be set aside t."
give place probably to some other
company. 1t is needless to say that
Captain Slater and his men were sore
Iy disappointed at this unfair and I'M
expected treatment.

Van Amburgh's Menagerie.

On Monday, Van Amburgh's Me-
nagerie gave an exhibition in this city
afternoon and evening In conse-
quence of the storm, but few persons
attended the exhibition in the after
noon. In the evening there was a
tolerably fair attendance, considering
the weather, quite a number being
anxious to get glimpse of the ele
phant," and other animals. This is
said to be the best affair of the kind
now in the country. The weather be-
ing so very unfavorable, we hardly
think the manager took very large
pile Of money away from town.

81 Boys let's Play Soldier"

The "local" of the Hightstown
Gazette says we have heard the above
call to the juvenile military field many
times, and it generally met rashing
response. There is something very
captivating to the youthful mind in
playing soldier, and it does not lose
its charms even when more years are
added Military companies are form
ed, ard the boys that played soldier in
the school-house yard are higl up for
epauletts. Nothing can be finer than
carrying guns AMI wearing uniforms,
and parading to the sound of martial
music-and then what delightful ectak
there is in attending Fourth of July
celebrations, and being pointed to by
the orators Of the day as the bull
warks of the nation, as the fg,gre de-
tenders of the country, as the glorious
descendants Of illustrious sires. who,
like them, are ready to lay down their
.liv IS at their conntry's call" And
how charming to be the recipients of
beautiful banners from the fair hands
of patriotic maidens, for whom they
swear to defend those beautiful bau-
ners at the price Of their hearts best
blood ! This, and a great deal more
of the same sort, is all truly fascina-
ting but thar Dis only continual
ton of the game of childhood,-it is
only "playing soldier"
sow there is a Gala lond call.
To every soldier in the land it comes
in stentor tones, and it does not say,
e" Boys, let's play soldier, but Boys,
come and let us do, and be, and Gct
what all our lives we hive promised to
do and be and act when the time came
May the response be as unanimous
and enthusiastic as it was in the old
school-honse yard, and let the world
know that soldier playing boys can he
practical fighting soldiers when the
play becomes earnest.
