BURGLARS ABOUT.-On Friday night
of last week, bold but unsuccessful
attempt was made by some daring
professional" to enter the vault or safe,
in the Banking House Of Burkhart &
Son, but they were evidently fooled in
its construction, and met something
| they did not expect to find. After dig
Cing through some three or four thick
nesses of brick. they struck solid stone
slabs that stopped them and caused
them to desist; even if they had have
had time to have bored through the
stone and blast it, they would still have
three-feurths of an inch of iron to go
through-rather too much for one
nights work.
| ANOTHER BURGLARY.-On Tuesday
night the tailor shop of Mr.. Fisher, at
Bunker Hill, was broken into by some
burglar or burglars, and robbed of some
$3.50 worth of clothing.
