A BOLD ExPLoIT.-About o'clock last
tuesday morning some twenty persons, dis
gulsed as gentlemen, were observed in front of
the residence of Mr. l.. w. Wallazz, at Twenty
hrst and wallace streets. Soon after their
arrival they were seen to make their way into
the house, closely watched by two policemen.
Upon entering they discovered that the occu-
pants of the house had been absent at the
theatre, and from a programme found in the
parlor, 1t was evident that they had been in or
near ''SIeepy Hollow" and being in consequence
wrapped closely in the arms Of Morpheus, the
strange visitors proceeded to devour all OF the
eatables and drinSables in the dwelling and
soon after became so boisterous (by singing va
rious German, Italian, and English balladsl as
TO arouse the occupants of the sleeping apart
ments above them. They made their escape
aud, 1t IS believed took nothing of value away
except several overcoats, line hats, ieWelry
watches, and the like, all of which they seemed
TO think belonged TO them. No arrests were
made but the policemen recognized several
notorious persons In The party, and promptly
informed Lieutenant Lovealre or the events of
the evening, and the names OF the parties recog.
nized. The Lieutenant would have visited the
scene hlmself but was prevented from doing so
by sudden attack of chronic corpulence.
Among the professionally noticed were Major
W. p. Delaney, Professor Albert Roberts, DIR.
James n. Bedloe, and nearly all of the members
of the Philadelphia Vocalists' Club,
just before departing, these midnight warbers
had the bodness to sing, while upon the side
walk, Scbubert's beautiful serenade Dear
Angel, Sleep Well" This was so well executed
that the policemen could not find iG IN their
hearts to make any arrests, and so these wicked
young men are still at large.
IMPROVEMENT ON NINTH SrREEr.-In
passing through Ninth street, from Arch to wards
Market, our attention was attracted to very
handsome improvements. II was No. Il, occu-
pied by Mr.. j.. H. Bcrgenski as French flower
emporium. The building is faced with tine
pressed brick, is tour stories IN height, and
finished in modern style. The store itself has
two very handsome plaCe-gass bulk windows,
which give a fine, cheerful appearance. The
interior is light, and handsomely fitted up with
black walnut cases and fixtures. The gas fix
lures are from the establishment of Cornelius,
Baker q Co. The building itself belongs to Mr..
J. Kates. The improvements foot upa total of
$4,000. In addition, Mr. Borgenski is going to

the two handled with most atfectlouate care.
The bags were seized and opened, and what

unfold as to obtaining proper possession of such
an amount OF forage, and they were both taken
