No BUReLARr.-We confidently expected
to lay before our readers yesterday afternoon
an account of another burglary. We had re-
served room for an article from a quarter to
a half column in length. A nice little case
of burglary having awaited our description
every morning, these several days past, the
writing up of the same had become quite a
habit with us, and when the police informed
US yesterday morning that they had not yet
heard ofanyburglary having been committed
the night previous, we looked at them in
blank establishment. "Wbatl no burglary i?
we suppose an old topper feels, when he is
suddenly deprived of his accustomed glass.
The power of habit is prodigious, but we
will not enlarge on the subject here and now,
since Cough is supposed to have exhausted
it, or rung all the possible changes OIL il, a
few nights since. Some months g we got
SO in the way of recording, daily, accidents
and disasters on the railroads, that, when
there was an occasional let-up, we were
thrown violently out of gear, and felt that
our columns, no matter what else they might
contain, were thin and undressing, and
that an apology were due our readers for the
omission of the expected item of disaster.
If an apology be now due for the absence of
an account of midnight burglary, we put
ourselves in the proper attitude before the
thus outraged public, pull our hats and
make our humblest bow.

SURGICAL 0PERATIoN.-W. F. Ford, Super
intendent of the Soldiers Home in this city,
is awaiting the return of the ladies of the
Commission from Columbus, to close the
Home for aye, that he may subject himself
to an important surgical operation by Prof.
Thayer. Mr.. Ford was formerly a private
in the sth Ohio Infantry, but was disabled
in the battle of Antietam, Sept. II, 1852.
He describes his wound as a wicked one,
and it must, indeed, have been such. 1t
was no piece of shell that hit him, nor bull
let, ball or buck shot, but Q steel ram=rod,
which entered his right leg near the thigh,
penetrating the bone and going in almost
its whole length. And the worst of it is,
that it was fred, accidentally, of course, by
a member of his own company, who had
fallen back about twenty feet from the line.
This man was loading his gun with the in
tention of firing at the Johnnies through a
gap in the line, but his piece discharged
itself before he was aware, with the said
unfortunate result. Mr.. Ford was knock
ed down by the shock, and fall
ing forward upon the ram-rod, thrust
it into the ground. It was only
with the main strength of three com
rades, expended several times in the effort,
that the unnatural dreadful, weapon was
pulled out Although Mr.. Ford nearly
tainted while this operation was being per-
formed, he had no thought of going to the
hospitall He loaded up and blazed away
again. But he had soon to give it up, and
was helped back when, meeting the surgeon
of the regiment, he heard the melancholy
news that he was permanently disabled for
the service. Months were passed in hospi-
tai, decayed pieces Of the bone coming out
quite frequently. The wound has been a
running one to this day, but, strange to say,
able drain upon the vitality ofhis system. II
is the opinion of many surgeons that a very
the general health of the patient has been
excellent, since there has been no consider
good leg can be made of his +" game +" mem
Der, and urged, and sustained BY this hope,
he will in a few days lay himself upon the
table to be operated on by Drs. Thayer and
Terry.
