Lehcneu the second-story window of the rear
part OF the building by means Of an iron rail-
Ing. ing. Ihey forced the window open, passed
uoWn stairs into the store, and commenced
operations on re-proof in the rear part of the

70 remove some large desks tables, boxes, etc,
70 the centre of the store, in order to shut off
all possible ocular observation by parties on

But to get at the fire proof they found more
di1hcnlt matter than they had imagined.
They first attempted to make an entrance by
taking away a portion of the thick brick
wall which surrounded II, as did the burglars
in the robbery of ochranes establishment on
Walnut street, in the early part of the year.
These endeavors were futile, the wall was
too thick, the mortar too hard, their tools not
door, and, with the aid of a drill, tripod
shaped, the lmiddle tyne being screw and
the outer ones cutters, they succeeded in
taking out a piece of the inner door two Inches
in diameter, and half an inch in thic IN ess This
door was unbolted, but they were brought face
to face with a more formidable one, and seeing
no hope of getting through it, decamped With
out getting anything.

Mr.. Greeley on Great sights.

Mr.. Greeley, in an article in the In
dependent this week, descriptive of a
recent visit to Niagara, says;
OF the grand sights / have enjoyed
Rome from the dome of st. Peter s-the
Alps from the valley of Lake Como
Mont Blanc and her glaciers from Cha
mouny-Niagara-and the Yosemite-I
judge the last named the most unique
and Stupendous. 1t is a partially wooded
gorge, 100 10 800 rods wide, and 5000 to
4000 feet deep, between almost perpen-
dicular walls of gray granite, and here
and there dark yellow pine rooted in
crevice of either wall, and clinging with
desperate tenacity to its dizzy elevation.
The isolation of the Yosemite-the
absolute wilderness Of its sill
van solitudes, many miles from human
settlement or cultivation-its cascade,
2eOO feet high, though the stream which
makes this leap has worn a channel in
the hard bed rock to the depth of
100 feet-renders it the grandest marvel
that has ever met my gaze. Next to
Yosemite, / judge that Niagara has more
distinct and diverse attributes of sub
Unity than any other. Its volume is so
vast that its hight is dwarfed when
measured by the eye alone. You do not
believe that it can be $50 feet from the
surface below the fall till you have given
your apprehension time to expand and
adjust itself to the grand proportions of
the scene

A Question Axed %

A few days since Nathan Salisbury,
ESQ.,, living in East Scott, CORTLAND
county, found very peculiar ak. The
ciroum stances are as follows: At an
early day, when Mr. Salisbury, in com
pany with others, was chopping and
clearing the forest of his newly acquired
farm, they came upon a large hemlock
standing near the stream. After cutting
the tree down Mr.. Salisbury discov.
cred that what appeared to be the heart
of the tree was really q separate tree
from the one just fallen. On examina-
ton, this tree was found to have been
girdled at some previous time, leaving
a small portion uncut, so that the sap
had continued to traverse the trunk un-
til its growth had completely overgrown
the girdling, and another tree formed,
growing to enormous dimensions. A
few days since, near the trunk of that
tree, about twelve inches below the sur.
face, was found this peculiar ak. 1t is
about ten inches in length by three and
one-fourth inches on the cut or edge. 1t
is made of iron. Now, what is remarka-
BILE about this ak and tree is this-that
the girdling or packing of the inner tree
corresponds precisely with the ak found,
and counting the concentric rings of the
growth of the outer tree, is found the re-
markable fact that the inner tree was
girdled about one hundred years before
the landing of the Pilgrims. Who was
in that locality using an ak three hun.
dred and fifty seven years ago2

A Wondarfnl storv.

Cortlan, Illinois, June 22) correspondence Of
the DeKalb county News.l
A young lady by the name of Caroline
Low, in Clinton, in this county, over
two years ago, after washing windows,
was replacing them, when she struck her
hand through the glass, running several
long pieces into her hand. After seven
days a physician was called, and, as was
supposed, the glass all extracted. But
it appears not to have been the case, as =
large quantity was left in the hand,
which soon made its appearance under
the skin on her arm, and was cut out
by her surgeon. 1t continued spread
ing until it has extended TO all
parts of her body. 1t has been ex-
tracted from her eyes, head, arms, and
feet, and, in fact, from all parts Of her
body. Six months ago il caused the
lockjaw, with which she was afflicted for
about six weeks, during which time she
partook Of no isustenance, except that
which she could drink between her
clinched teeth. AT present she is raving
maniac more than half the time, and in
such agony as words will not describe,
and too incredible to tell. At intervals
she is rational, and able to sit up and
do some work. Up TO the l4th inst over
twelve hundred pieces Of glass had been
cut out Of her flesh.

A Coarse Weapon.

All that we have to ask of the Repub-
licans is that they shall take the entire
responsibility of the military despotsm
they have established in the South. We
do not protest against it any more than
we would protest against robbery or
murder. Those who take life or property
under such rule know, or ought to
know, how absolute is their responsible
ity, for they act wholly without the sane
ton of law. IAN army" says Hume, 'is
so forcible, at the same time so coarse a
weapon, that any hand which wields it
may, without much dexterity, perform
any operation and attain any ascendancy
in human affairs" We have only to add,
that martial law, such as has been estab-
lshed in the South, never existed in
England, even under William the Con.
queror and that the revolution of
1888, which Mr.. Webster says was
"a revolution in favor of property
as we'll rs of rights" resulted in
the utter extinction of martial law in
England. This is just what Lord Chief
Justice Cockburn said the other day in
his charge to the grand jury. Mr.. Burke
proposition was before that body to sus-
pend the great writ of habeas corpus,
that the success of the measure would,
to all practical intents and purposes, be
suspension of constitutional govern
ment and Cockburn fully indorses the
strong speech of Burke, by declaring
that tindemnihcation had been voted in
variably to those damaged by the opera
tions of martial law, thus conceding its
illegality. We deny that military gov
ernment in this country is capable Of
legal sanction. 1t is the subversion of
all law, and cannot, therefore, have any
higher sanction than theft, robbery or
murder. Yet we say to the South, yield
a willing obedience to the despotism the
Republicans have put on you. And we
say further, keep an account of your
sacriice-an accurate and full account,
with names, dates and facts, for the day
of judgment will me.-NationdI
