Over Three Thousand Dollars Stolen.

4 most daring and successful burglary was
perpetrated Late Saturday evening on the
premises OF Smith McCleyey, Esq, wholesale
liquor dealer, No: l55 Dearborn street, oppo-
site the Custom House. The lower portion
Of the building Is occupied as store and the
upper portion as the residence Of Mr.. Nc
Cleyey. When the family retired for the night
the side door leading to the upper rooms vas
carelessly left unEstened. and the thief thus
gaining access to the private room of the pro.
prletor and his son, administered 4 dose Of
chloroform, leaving them iusensib1e. In the
pocket Of the younger McC1eVey two dollar
bill, gold watch and the key to the safe was

next visited and the safe opened, and so In

and dollars in notes and securities taken there |

door Of the store closed, and both keys car
E=d of. The boz containing the notes and |
papers was found on the floor Of the store
early Sunday morning broken in spliute1s. |
What other articles of value we're taken is not |
yet known as the rascals have the keys and |
the safe cannot be examined until this morn

some one entirely familiar with the premises.
The matter Was yesterday given into the
hands Of the police authorities, who will
doubtless, speedily discover the guilty puEE

citizens in looking after the fastenings OF their

Great Magical Feats in Prospect.
Hambujer, who has been engaged during the
past week in performing bis wonderful sleigbt
Of hand tricks at Bryan Hall, we areinEormed,
is now arranging for the performance Of two
feats which hare never before been performed
in this country, and which appear almost in
credible, smacking more Of Arabian Nights
supernaturalism than latter day realities.
Hitherto, Hambujer's leafs have been those
often Witnessed here, excepting that they are
| done In this instance without the usual ap-
| purtensnces Of the magician's repertoire.
| These new feats which bid fair to eclipse any
| thing ever Witnessed here and which in foreign
cities have drawn crowds by the thousands,
ore restoring the dead to- life and euspending
boy in the air by single hair Of his head
from floating ball. The first feat is one we'll
| known in India. It consists in taking boy,
placing him under basket, thrusting
| sword through it and drawing it ont
| again covered with blood. The bas-
ket is taken of aud physicians
are allowed to examine the body to ascertain
if there be life in it. Once more he is placed
under the basket and pistol is discharged
into it. Again the basket is removed, but
there is no body there. In a moment the ap-
parently murdered boy makes his appearance
alive and well.
The ball feat consists in suspending boy
By single hair to a rubber ball filed with
chemical mixture by which lie doats grace
fully in the air at the Professors bidding. In
addition to these, Hambujer is preparing sew
era1 other beautiful feats, the particulars Of
which, as well as Of other and great feats, We
shall give in future issue.
