telegraphic Communications.

DAnrSG RoBBERR-On Thursda night
last the sleeping room Of Joseph Adams,
artist, in Chambers block, was entered
by two or more burglars and his pants
looms pocket robbed of $40, in the new
issue Of U. s. interest bearing Treasury
notes, to-wit: three fifty dollar notes and
one twenty.
The notes we're all accidentally torn in
the under edge between the centre and
right hand end. The theft must have
been committed by some one familiar
with the premises and with the fact that
Mr. Adams had received the money that
day.
During the operation Mr. Adams
awoke and grasped the burglar in the
room, who in low voice said, "Let me
90 or l will kill yen, and as soon as
Mr. Adams released his hold the bur
glar rushed through the door, his accom-
plice on the outside remarking to him as
he made his exit, "Bob, you are a id
fool, at the same time following his
companion down stairs ....-.-
No clue has as yet been obtained to
the burglars, a species Of villains with
whom our city is filed, and the people
would do well keep sharp lookout for
them.
Mr. Adams viii pay liberal reward
for the detection Of the burglars and the
recovery Of his money, which may be
readily identified by being torn.
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT -one Of the most
distressing accidents that it has been our
melancholy duty to chronicle for many
months occurred at tue Salt Wells yes
terday
Capt. Hiram X Hazlett, of the steamer
Carrie, in company with several friends,
went to the Salt Wells early in the morning
for the purpose Of spending the day in
the shade, as kind of select picnic
party. ,...,.
While pleasantly willing away the
time, one Of the party climbed into tree
and was. followed by the Captain, who
was very active climber. C0H
After getting into the tree, the Cap
tain's friend crossed into another tree,
and the Captain in attempting to follow
lost his hold OF the limb and fell to the
ground, Il distance Of 20 or % feet,
strlAiqg on a bench. MAN
his friends rushed to his assistance
and upon examination found his left leg
broken very badly just above the ankle,
the bone protruding through the flesh.
His right foot was badly sprained and
bruised, and was terribly swollen last
evening ,ta s...a
He was Immediately brought to the
city, and after consultation of four OF
ourmost skIllful surgeons, twas deemed
necessary to amputate the limb, which
was done in the most skiIlful manner by
DR. Bray assisted BY HDrs Pennington,
Geo. B. Walker, and Thompson.
The fortitude with which Captain
Hazlett bore the pain, from the first to
the last, was remarkable beyond coneep-
ton, not groan having at any time, as
we learn, escaped his lips
The news of this misfortune will carr,
regret to many hearts, as few men of hi
age have more friends, aud none ever de
served more. ..r.Ha Va ROO
The Captain is now at the American
House, where he will receive the kindes
attention, and when we last saw him b

New PLAN FOR PRESERVING MEATs.-
The British Admiralty is trying series o
experiments to test DR.. Morgan's method
of preserving meats. This consists in
forcing brine into the arteries, veins, anG
capilaries Of the carcase by pressure. The
tank of brine is placed 20 feet above the
freshly killed animal, and the brine is led
by pipe in to the chest, where it enter:
the arteries, driving before it the blood
which passes out by an incision made fol
the purpose. After the arteries have been
thus cleaned by the first charge, a second
isintroduced, This consists of g. gallons
of brine, 10 lbs. Of sugar, Glib. Of saltpet Q
with an infusion of cloves or pepper. The
meat is then cut up, thoroughly dried, and
packed in sawdust and charcoal. 1t is
said that the meat thus prepared will keep
in any climate, and that larger portion OF
its nutrit,ve matter is preserved than in the
ordinary process.

q series of able and interesting articles

marks
an view of the fact that this Admins

authentic history I wish it were possible
that every voter in the country could be

Interesting to Ladies.

La France gives some dancing statistics
of interest. 1t says that daily during the
season $50 private balls are given in Paris.
This does not include balls mosques, public
balls, or mere dancing parties. On an av'
erage $50 persons are invited to every ball.
making total of $4,000; the season lasts
thirty six days. Accordingly 4,68O private
balls are giving during the season. Each
costs dn an average 900 francs, making to
tai of 4,2l2,O0O francs; add to this $4,000
carriages drivers per day, reckoned each at
three francs there and back. makes 2;7OO-
900 francs per season. Take the ball dress
.es at 200 francs apiece; allowing them to
be worn four times, this will give anumber
of las, $50 ball dresses for l6, $50 ladies, and
occasion the outlay Of 25,250,OO0 francs
The head dresses of 1920 ladies would
amount to 100000 francs per day, making
100000 francs in the season. Ribbons
boquets, gloves, fans, &C., are reckone1
cheap at thirty francs lady per night
which comes to 487 500 francs for one eve
ming, or Al, $4,000 francs per season. By
a rough calculation the ladies would spend
during Paris season 60084, 900 francs, the
gentlemen 100000 francs foc their toilet,
and the hosts of the entertainments A 2l2,-
600 francs, making sum total of 69, $780,
900 francs, or about 100000 day.
