A Bold BURGLARY.-The treasurer s
office was broken into on Sunday
morning about one o'clock, by prying
the shutter on the alley adjoining Alex
ander's, and the safe door blown off
with powder, considerable quantity
Of which must have been used, as it
forced off the door from It's fastenings,
threw down a stove several feet of,
and sprung the walls. The explosion
was heard by several persons in the
neighborhood. 1t is supposed the par
tv or parties who made this attempt
at robbery, were present on Saturday
in the Commissioners Office when the
treasurer received nearly a thousand
dollars, and under the impression that
it was kept in the safe, went to a great
deal of trouble for nothing. Besides
the books some orders and pennies
wereinit, ,butthey appeared to havebeen
undisturbed. The books were some
what injured by the powder, and were
living on the floor. The powder used
was apparently wrapped in pieces of
the Budget of Fun, Comic Monthly or
Yankee Notions. If any Of the store
keepers sold powder last week wrapped
in such paper, it is hoped information
will at once be given, as it might afford
q clue to the burglar. 1t is "a wonder
the building was not set on fire, as
some pieces of cotton, &c. bear strong
marks of having been on fire.
ACCIDENTs.-On last Thursday, at
shaft No l at Banks ore mine, VIM.
Beatty, sen. met with an accident which
might have been fatal Mr. B. while
descending said shaft in the bucket,
fell out while sixteen feet from the bot
tom, breaking his arm, besides being
bruised internally. He was at first
thought dead, but being lifted to sit
ting posture revived. Simon Yeager,
of this place, while standing at the
bottom was struck by the bucket on
the top of his head, knocking the hair
of.
R9-The School Journal for January
pays hefollowing well-deserved tribute
to Azariah Smith, formerly Of this
county:
''This gentleman, SO well known to the
readers Of this Journal and the Teachers
of the State some years ago, as the able
Superintendent Of Mifiin county, after a
tour of duty in the South west-in what
capacity we are not exactly informed, but
no doubt doing goods now in Boston,
connected with the publication aud circu-
lation of "Our Young Folks" We arc
glad and sorry for this;-glad, that he is in
i department of usefulness still pertaining
to the Interests of youth, and sorry to have
lest him from our own State.
"No more genial nature, ripper scholar,
more accomplished teacher, or better
equipped man, ever held the office of
County Superintendent in Pennsylvania;
aud We did hope, till now, that again be
might be found at what always appeared to
Us to be his proper post, amongst her blue
hills and clear streams But it seems to
have been otherwise decreed; and we can
but wish him abundant success 10 his new
field of labor
'As to that field we have a word to say
Higher and more influential, for the good
OF the rising generation, should be the po-
sIton of Mr.. Smith, than that of attending
to the material interests of any work as an
investment or mere book selling publics-
uon' We never met, in Pennsylvania,
and We question if there is even in his own
New England, man more adequate, by
gus OF nature, knowledge and experience,
10 take the editorial control of such work
'han ne Good as sour young Folks" is,
We ieel very certain that in his controlling
