SHADE TREEs "A few months since
the Passumpsic and Connecticut River
Railroad removed their machine shops
to Lyndon, and have taken steps for
making it an agreeable place of resi-

throughout all the streets, an example
that should be initiated by many iarg-

foresight to do this in new com

it to do SO in larger and rapidly grow

AMERICAN UNION CoSIMIssIoN.-The citizens
of Pennsylvania and New Jersey can have no
better channel through which their charities
can reach the poor in the State of Georgia than
the American Union Commission. 1t was or
ganized in Philadelphia in October, 1865, since
which time it has faithfully appropriated the
moneys and clothing intrusted to its care in
the work of education and relief of bodily ne
cessities. The ladies the Commission has sent
to that State as teachers regularly visit the
families, and are conversant with the suffering
that exists among them; and are, therefore,
the best possible agents through which the
gifts of the benevolent can find the most needy
and deserving objects of relief. If our citizens
wish to cooperate with other portions of the
country in the work of saving lives at the
South, they have the organization in their
midst adapted to the purpose, and profering
| its aid.
Money or clothing will be thankfully re-
ceived at the office of the Tract Society, No.

BURGLARIEs AND SAFE BREAKINGs. - Last
Wednesday night the store of Messrs. ThOmp-
son, Clark 4 Young, tea dealers, Nos. l30 and
1872 South Front street, and also No. l34, Occu-
pied by Messrs. Fuller u Sutterly, were en-
tered. An attempt was made to bore a piece
out of a rear basement door at No. 132, but
lining of sheet-iren prevented the rOgues from
passing through. A jimmy was then applied,
and the fastening gave way. The rogues
ascended to the first floor and commenced
operations upon the fre-proof, built in the
wall. This they opened with very little
trouble. The bolt of the lock shoots into an
iron jamb, which is against the brick work.
All the fellows did was to cut away the brick
opposite the lock, and then drive the bolt back
by means of hammer and punch. The fire
proof in No. l3O, there being communication
between the stores, was opened in precisely
the same manner, and both safes Tansacked.
Little of value was obtained in either
The application of jimmy to the rear
door of No. 134 started the fastenings, and
the bolts above and below yielded. Here
there is a fire-proof in the wall similar
to those in the other stores, and Messrs.
Miller Il Sutterley keep a small fire-proof, and
thus thought the proof-safe inside of it. An
| opening into the tire-proof was effected as at
Nos. 130 and 1872, and then the rogues set to
work to open the small safe. This they ac-
cOmplshed by forcing off the door-style, in
doing which they bent the iron, three-eighths
of an inch thick, until it formed a right angle
Very considerable power must have been re-
quired to effect this. They then broke away
enough of the door to enable them to reach
the bolts of the combination lock, and as soon
as they uncovered them they were forced
back. Everything in both safes were then
examined; books and papers were thrown
out upon the floor, and rigid search made
for money. All the thieves got was about
eighty dollars. They secured, in addition,
and carried off, two one hundred dollar coupon
bonds of Cumberland county, N. j., numbered
343 and 344 They evidently left both stores
in the way they entered, by the rear. Messrs.
! Thompson & Co.'s store was broken into, and
the fre-proof blown open, about three years
