BURGLARY ExTRAoRD1NARY.-O of the
boldest burglaries we have ever heard OF,
occurred in our city during the "smali
hoursn on Tuesday morning. The store
of Mr.. +. 0TTo, on the corner of Third and
Laurel streets, was entered, the door of the
safe one Of G. Rich's patent, broken open,
and upwards of five hundred dollars in
money, together with many papers Of value
stolen therefrom. An immense sledge
hammer, besides chisel and one or two
other iron implements that were used for
accomplishing the deed, were left behind
by the burglars.
The noise produced by the heavy ham
mering was heard by the neighbors, but
from the strange hour selected by the rob-
bers for their work Git was about O'Clock
in the morning. suspicion was not arous-
cd, it being presumed that some one be-
longing to the store, was engaged in there
doing some Legitimate work.
No clue as yet has been obtained rs to
who were the perpetrators of this most
daring affair. A few of the papers stolen,
we learn, were found concealed yesterday
beneath bridge on the Boulevard.
We hope no time will be lost by our city
authorities to avail themselves of every
possible means to ferret out the authors of
this and similar other crimes which are of
almost nightly occurrence in our midst.
a well organized citizen patrol to CO
operate with the Provost Guard would be
very apt to put stop to such depredations.
We hope that Mayor Hour and Brig. Gen.
FONDA win concur in some efficient plan
whereby the city may be rid Of night
prowling marauders, and its interests pro-
tected from violent hands,

DISTRIBUTION or THE SExEs.-The number of males
the United States is 13,6S5,S54 against l3o05,972
males showing 68l ASP excess Of males, accordingg
the census Of 1850; so that there is than

Europe exclusive Of Russia Turker, Prussia Switzer
land and Austria, there 3o0,796 males and
9l6 females, showing excess Of $780, % females tn
942 0GS more males than females have emigrated T.
America. That accounts for the excess Of males u
this country. Had it not been for this should ha'
near 100000 more females than males. Had the EN-
grafton Of these sexes been equal there would be q
Europe about 100 900 females than males; so th

A Rebel SPY on Trial.

Some days ago rebel officer named g.
B. Davis alias W. Cummings, a lieutenant
in the rebel service, was recognized by Q
soldier on board railroad train in Ohio
as the former keeper Of the rebel prison
pen at Andersonville. He was arrested
on charge of being a rebel spy, and is now
on trial before eourt-martial in Cincin-
natl Last Thursday he made speech to
the court, concluding as follows:
HGeutlemen, I do not ask pity. Ny
heart fears nothing on this earth. l am
no coward. I, like the rest of you, have
faced bullets before to-day. Some of you
have marks of them II can show them, too
ask not for pity; 1ask but for justice.
If in justice you or any other Court on
Gods globe can make me out spy, hang
me; gentlemen, I am not afraid TO die.
Young as am, scarcely verged into man
hood, would like to live. But gentle
raen, am no coward, and I deem man
who would stand here before his fellow
men, before soldiers who have faced the
foe, who have felt bullets, and ask pity,
does not deserve the name of man. Had ]
thought that you could have regarded me
as a spy, nothing could have forced me out
of Richmond. As to gathering informs-
ton, have no way to show that I have
not done it. I know I have only done my
duty. have done it as best could; God
knows what 1 intended; and He knows
that 1 do not deserve death. But if I die
I go without asking pity, but as a soldier
should die. fear not death, and l go tC

Anerican Wine An Eurone,

In a recent issue of the London Times,
we find an interesting article on wine and
its consumption in past years in England.
We make the following extract;
America now produces wine excellent
in quality and exquisite in flavor, as aIl
testify who have tasted the SAmburg wine
of Mr.. A. Speer, of New Jersey, U. s. A.
In our perambulstions through Spain,
France, ard Portugal We acquired some ex-
perience in wine, and have tasted none to
excel the Ssmburg vintage of America
Wines depend for their excellence not mere
ly on the cultivation Of the vine, but on the
management Of the fermentation. AN this
Mr.. Speer thoroughly understands, if we
may Judge from the sample of the Samburg
wine we tasted. In our opinion this wine
cannot fail of success. It is already at
tracing considerable attention in London
and Paris, and with the ladies will become
8 general fsvorite on account of its nom
intoxicating properties.
