abuse that has been heaped upon the
police from certain quarters, they
have for some time past been using
extraordinary efforts to ferret out the
gang of burglars and thieves who
have been depredating in our midst.
Every man of brains knows that it
is no easy matter to detect burglars
or adroit thieves, as they are gen.
orally adopts in their business, and
knowing the police at sight, keep a
far stricter watch upon them than it
is possible for the police to exercise,
when they do not know whom to sus-
pect. After long and patient effort,
the police have. to some extent been
at last successful.
On Monday evening Policeman
Wunderlich, who was on the lookout
for the burglar who had robbed
Major Jarvis on Sunday night,
discovered: three suspicious look
ing Individuals IN council on
Water Street. He managed to con-
ceal himself in the vicinity and listen
to their conversation. One, who ap-
peared to5be the leader, was urging
another to go somewhere. which the
other seemed reluctant to do. The
tempter or leader, whose name is Jo-
seph Kline became exasperated at
what he was pleased to term the dila-
toriness OF the other, threatened to
beat him and proceeded to put his
threat into execution. In the midst of
the struggle Wunderlich bounced up
on Kline, who attempted to resist,
but gentle rap over the head with
the but end Of revolver notified his
disposition, and he surrendered, and
the two belligerants were lodged in
Jail. The third party was al
so soon afterward picked up
and - given quarters in the
same hospitable building. Going
to the spot yesterday morning where
the arrests had been made, the Off
GERS found roll Of paper in which
were contained an outsider Jan instru.
ment similar to that used sometimes
by corn shuckers, two pieces of star
matches, &c, &c., no doubt
thrown away by the.man Kline, when
arrested. The associate was jumped
by the policemen, and the where
abouts of the pistols stolen from Jar
Wis ascertained and recovered. In
the meantime, Policemen McGurk
and Copely were on the lookout for
an overcoat stolen from Capt Sam.
Huston, of the Peerless, the day that
boat landed here. When the prison
er, Kline, was brought out of jail yes
terday morning, he wore an over
coat that answered to the descrip
ION given by Captain Huston, ex-
actly, and the Captain being sent for
fully identified the coat. Major Jar
Wis fled an affidavit against him for
burglary, on which he waived an ex
and went to Jail in default
of $500 bail Capt. Huston also fled
an affidavit against him for stealing
his coat, and hearing is set for this
He had sold the Derren-
ger and revolver to a man on Main
Street, at nominal price, where they
were obtained. Kline has the air
and bearing of most adroit and ac-
scoundrel. but there is
hardly doubt that his flint is fixed
for the next ten or fifteen years. 1t
is to be hoped that this is the end of
the thread that will unravel the laby-
rinth of the many burglaries to which
our citizens have been subject for the
past three months. Christian Wun-
derlich deserves much credit for the
manner in which he man
aged the affair.

and obtained the control of the line
from Henderson to this city, and will
open an Office here at once. This is
an achievement Of much Importance
to our citizens, and to the people all
along the line. They expect to locate
the Office somewhere near the river in
this city. This will give us direct
line to Louisville and ali way points,
and viii enable steamboats, to keep
their agents here advised of their
whereabouts. The distance from
Henderson to Louisville, by telegraph
route, is $50 miles. or 162 miles from

semblage was one of the most brill
liant we have ever seen on such an
occasion. and the sales must have
been large, judging from the bewitch-

chants offered their wares. No one
with money could resist their win
ming ways. Nearly all the churches
in the city were literally represented,
and each We'd with the other in their
efforts to further the cause. The re-
freshment tables were literally pa
tronized, the delicacy of the viands
and the pressing requests of the fair
attendants to have something more
being alike almost irresistible. We
cannot doubt that, with the present
management, the New Metropolitan
will continue to draw large houses.

CATTLE CONCERTS.-Every one knows
what he is fit for, who has not music in his
soul. And now according to the following,
every one who raises cattle, sheep or goats
can have, at all times, at little cost, sweet
music in his barn-yard and in his fields
that with sonorous notes, of every tune,
mixed in confusion sweet the fields and for
ests ring.
1t has often occurred to us that if the man
ufacturers of cow-bells would make some of
a superior quality of tone, not few farmers
would be glad to buy them for their herds.
1t would be pleasant sound for the traveller
to hear from a distance, as the snimals
wended their homeward way at night, and
it would gladden. the ear of the proprietor
and his family. We have heard few such
bells.
Within short time, we have seen it stated
that certain English nobleman has sus-
pended musical bell on the necks of all his
cows, each bell tuned to a different note in
the scale, and the whole running through
several octaves A visitor to this farm is
charmed by the music. Sometimes he hears
several notes in unison, then a slight disco:d,
and then sweet harmony, and all varied by
distance, and by the rising and falling of the
breeze.
Such harmonic bells will add nothing to
the weight of ones butter and cheese, but
they will do something just as good. They
will add charm to farm life, and weave
around it one more of these pleasing associa-
tions which serve to attach men to the coun-
try and to the culture of the SOIL So tune
up first rate chime of bells for our herds
