BURGLARY IN HAMMToN.-On Thursday
night last, the store of Mr.. McAdams, mer-
chant tailor at Hamilton, was entered by
burglars, and robbed of goods to the
amount OF $l,5OO The burglars effected
an entrance into the store by boring the
door. 1t seems that the goods were secreted
In Hamilton until Saturday morning. con-
trary to the expectations of the officers,
who tclegraphed to the Chief of Police in
Cincinnati, under the supposition that the
plumber had been Immediately taken TO
that city. Early Saturday morning one of
the thieves left Hamilton in wagon, hav-
ing with him the stolen property, packed
In an ordinary dry-goods box. A few hours
after his departure, the Marshal of Ham
ilton received information Of the fact, and
mounting the strongest and swlftest horse
he could obtain, set out in pursuit. The
officer rode all day, tracking the fellow to
Cincinnati which he reached at ten o'clock
Saturday night, half an hour ahead of his
pursuer. The Marshal Immediately gave
information TO Chief Ruflin, who had all
the beat-watchmen notified OF the facts in
the case. The result was that, at about
three O'Clock Sunday afternoon, officer
Eager, of the Central avenue District Po-
lice, detected the man, just as he was about
to cross to the Kentucky side by the Vine
street Ferry. The goods were in an express
wagon, by the side of the driver of which
sat the individual who had them in charge,
and who, upon being taken to the Central
avenue Station, gave his name as Francis
ID. Cress. Upon examining the box, Ser
geant Evans found the brace and bits with
which the boring was done. There is a
reward Of $500 for the arrest of the thief
or thieves in this case, and recovery of
goods.

"A MARVELLOUS SToRY.--We find the
marvellous story in an Eastern paper that
on Sunday night last some body watchers
at Norwalk, Conn, dug up the body of a
young lady who had been buried that af-
ternoon, and succeeded beyond their antic-
ipations. She had been buried while in a
cataleptic fit, and upon being exposed TO
the night air, animation was restored. The
resurrectionists fed, and she walked home.
Her parents refused TO admit her, believing
her 10 be ghost. She then went 20 the
house of a young man 70 whom she was
engaged. He took her In, and on Monday
morning they were married.

THE OPERA HOUSE SoIREE.-We alluded
on Saturday, to the proposed testimonial
of respect to the Messrs. Turner, proprie-
tors of the Opera-House, to come of on the
22d inst. We are pleased to announce that
the ''preliminaries" are arranged, and that
the contemplated ovation promises to be
all that the numerous friends Of these en-
terprising gentleman could wish. The
managers and the various committees have
already been appointed, and all that is
necessary TO render the demonstration a
brilliant success, is the general and hearty
'co-operation of our citizens. The Opera
House is now permanent institution in
our city. It not only proud monument
to individual enterprise, but at the same
time Temple Of the Dramatic Art to
which our people may point with feelings
of just exultation. II is proposed to give
its proprietOrs fitting demonstration of
the appreciation in which they are held by
their friends and fellow-citizens, to whose
pleasure anti qualifications they have con-
tributed so much. We have too high an
estimate of the liberality and generous
spirit of the people of Dayton, to doubt for
a single moment that they will gladly re-
spond to this call. We notice among the
managers large number of our most
prominent citizens, whose names should be
n sufficient guarantee forthe success of the
proposed testimonial.

AN ARGUMENT FOR LIPE INSURANCE.
The North Western Life Insurance Com
pany of Milwaukee have shown from their
books, that since 1850 they have paid poll
cies on one hundred and twenty mine lives,
thirty-nine of which deaths were caused by
diseased lungs, and twenty-eight (the next
highest number from any one cause) were
from accident. The amount paid on the
former was Sal 900, and on the latter $52-
600. On twenty-three deaths, caused by
typhoid and other fevers, $4,000; on di-
seases of stomach and bowels, seventeen in
number, $23,5O0. The aggregate policies
they paid on the one hundred and twenty
nine deaths, produced from sixteen differ
ent causes, was no less than $l7665l. This
simple and brief statement is certainly, of
ITSELF very strong argument in favor of
Life Insurance. Only think, that for ac-
cidents alone, surviving friends have re-
ceived and enjoyed the munifcent sum of
$4,000!
As remarked by the late Lord Lynd-
hurst, Chancellor of England, VA policy OF
Life Insurance is always an evidence Of
prudent foresight, and no man with a de-
pendent family is free from reproach
If his life be not insured" s1l

Of bare.faced and unblushiug indeceucy as

met with everywhere. They gather in knots
on the corners alike of low alleys and fash

of indecent songs, and addressing passers-by

Ice AS A MEDICINE Marvellous results
have lately been noted from the use of ice
applied TO The spinal nerves. It's frequent
application in some serious cases Of apoplexy
has relieved the patient. 1t is applied to
lumbar pIexus Of the nerves over the spne
aIternated with hot water 10 the feet. A
case Of undoub,ed hydrophobia has been
cured by following that treatment. The pa
tient was bound TO the bed, and a thoroug Oh
wet cupping from the head down the whole
length Of the spine, followed with ice appIi'
cations for two or three days uninterruptedly.
Pulse and breathing became quiet, pain grad
uaIly left him. and complete recovery was
the result. In the French hospitals. the ice
treatment in cases Of nervous debility, par
alysis Of the moter nerves, prolapsus uteri,
convuIsions from teething. and puerperaI
convuIsions has been successful without a
drop of medicine. The great secret Of the
mode OF treatment consists in using the ice
long enough to get its tonic effect only,
which is nice point, and requires great care
from the medical attendant, as short appli.
cations Of ice are powerfully neurotouic.
whi'e its too lengthy application dsbiIitates
the patient.

$53O,0OO,OOO YEAR-This enormous

remember that the radical politicians insist

grea, mistake is in allowing it to boil. The
tea pot should be we'll heated with boiling
hot water 6rst-tben put in the tea and pour
just water enough in to wet the leaves. Let
it stand one minute, three minutes or at
most, five minutes. Tea is an asrineent,
and the as'ringency destroys the flavor if
allowed to stand more than five minutes.
Green tea should never be used, as it operl
ates on the nerves more powerfully than
black tea. 1t should never be taken at
breakfast, because of It's asirngent qualities.

prevails, take cup Of strong tea after lunch

ALKALI-WHAT IS I1!-Ths term is one
OF such constant use, says the Scientific and
Mining Press, that it is we'll to fully under.
stand both it's derivation aud it's precise
meaning. The word is Of Arabic origin.
Kali is the Arabic word for hitter, aud al
is equivalent to our word super. We say
6ne and super6ne; and as kali is bitter aka.
Ii is very bitter or superlatively bitter. In
short, aIkaIi is the very dregs Of bitterness.
The New England Fdrmey. describes alkali as
follows.
AlkaIi is general term which includes
all those substances which have an action
like the Icy Of wood ashes. II this is boil.
ed down it forms potash. What is chiefly
understood by the term alkaIes means pot
ash, soda and ammonia. Potash is the alkali
of plants; soda is the alkai OF sea plants;
aud ammonia is the alkali Of animal substan,
ces.
Potash and soda are fixed; that is not eas.
lily raised in vapor by fire. Ammonia al
ways exists as vspor uuless fixed by some.
thing else.
Lime, fresh Stacked, has the alkaline quail
titles Of potash, but wesker-so has calcIned
magnesia, but in less degree than lime.
Here are two substances, earthly in their
looks, having alkaline properties. They are
called, therefore, alkaline earths. When the
tongue is touched with bit of quick lime,
it has hot, burning, bitter taste. These
are called alkaline properties. Besides these
they have the power Of combining with and
taking the sour out Of ali sour liquids and
acids: that is. the acid and the alkali neutral
ize each other. Were i, not for this, there
would probably be no such thing as vegetable
