ne Coming events, with their magi-
GALORE, cast their shadows before them.
On Friday morning last, at an early
hour, rather portly, good looking per-
son was seen pro Wing about the streets
in the lower wards Of the city, exciting
the curiosity of many. He progressed
with awful and portentious strides I'M
til he arrived at the corner of Wall and
First streets, where he suddenly halted.
It was evident from his demeanor that
he had something of Importance to
communicate. Suddenly he opened his
capacious and portentious jaws, and
addressed the multitude of men engag-
ed in paving First street, which work,
by the way, is progressing rapidly, I'M
der that prince of contractors, Michael
Doyle, who is sparing no cost to have
the work done in O substantial manner.
But, as were saying, this suspicious
looking person gravely informed the
multitude that the dog-days would be
shortly upon them that it was very
necessary they should use the greatest
precaution in regard to it that they
should use at least three parts of water
for their daily nourishment that such
was the will of the Great Architect
three quarters Of the earth being COM
posed of water. He admonished his
hearers that as in the hot season, the
water quickly evaporates, they should
drink freely in order to keep up the
supply; that if they should do so, he
would be responsible for the result ;
that he officially held the health of the
city in the hollow of his hand, and
would be careful no harm would befall
them. He Immediately vanished out
of sight, and was seen no more until
he was observed promenading in the
vicinity OF Market street, at some
what late hour.

How TO KILL TowN.-If you wish
to kill off a town put up no more build
ings than you are obliged to occupy
yourself, If you should happen to
have building to rent, ask about five
times its actual value. Look at every
new conner with a scowl. Turn a cold
shoulder to every business man or me-
chanic seeking a home among you. Go
abroad for wares rather than purchase
OF your own merchants or manufactures
at the same prices. Refuse to adver-
tise, so that a person at distance will
not suppose any business is done in the
place. A close observance of these
rules will ruin any town in two years,

mess, and by their attention, courtesy
and accuracy make Intercourse with
them so pleasant.

| BURGLARY.-Ihe house OF Mr.. Fred
eYick Terhune, on South Broad street,
was entered by two burglars at half-past
twelve o'clock on Saturday night. They
effected an entrance by unlocking the
kitchen door by means of ''tweesers, -
nice little arrangement that is carried
nowadays by gentlemen who follow
the occupation OF frightening old folks,
and reaching good ways after things
that don't belong to them. By means
Of dark lantern, which they carried,
they speedily discovered the plate and
other valuables, which they proceeded
to examine i'll the most careful manner.
Forks, spoons, cake baskets, &c, were
bent and broken, and such as withstood
the . test" and was found to be " ge-
nuine," was placed within the ample
folds Of Il capacious carpet-bag. Al
plated-ware was thrown aside After
having rumaged, in the completest man
ner, the lower part of the house, the
burglars assembled TO the second floor,
and made an examination of ward
rode, bureaus, closets, &c, contained
in room, occupied by Mr.. Terhunes
mother-in-law. A velvet cloak and silk
basque, among many other things,
were the only articles Which the fasti-
dious robbers selected i'll this apart
ment, and they next proceeded to enter
the room occupied by Mr.. Terhune, but
the door being locked, they met with an
obstacle not calculated upon. But a
single lock was not to prevent them
from entering " that room," so they, in
order to render their nefarious opera
tons more secure, forced chloroform
into the apartment through the key hole.
1t was this which awakened Mr.. Ter
hume, but that gentleman, for a few
moments, could not account for the
strange odor. Directly, however, he
heard noise at the door, and was sat
istied that somebody was endeavoring
to pick the lock. He felt for his revolv-
er, and then remembered that the wea-
pom was i'll possession Of his son, sleep
ing in a distant part OF the house. He
looked around for something with which
he might make an attack, and drive the
burglars from the house, but could find
nothing that would in any way answer
the purpose. He had but one alterna-
tive. He sprang to the door, and while
unlocking the same, the two rascals left
Notwithstanding over one ano-
ther down the fight Of stairs-ALr. Ter
hume in the meanwhile calling for his
son. But the robbers having no inten-
ton of allowing Mr.. Terhune to head
them off fled from the house, leaving
their caIpet-bag, with the yaluables UNI
der the kitchen table, together with an
umbrella which they were unable to
carry away with them. The basque
and cloak, &c, were found in the yard
on Sunday morning, completely ruined
by 4the rain. Mr.. Ierhune gave the
alarm, but the fellows got away. Mr..
L. requests us to say that they can have
the umbrella and carpet bag by paying
for the damage done his plate.

ACCIDENT. Mr.. Edward Bonnell,
who is employed at Mr.. John Y. Bro
kaws Sash, Blind and Door factory,
while engaged in working circular
saw on Saturday afternoon, met with o
serious accident, whereby his right
hand was terribly lacerated and the ex-
tremities of several fingers severed.
His cries speedily brought his fellow
workmen to his ass 3 ance, by whom he
was taken tc his residence in Washing
ton street, his wife in the meantime
having been quietly notified of the sad
accident. DR.. Grier, who was sum.
moned, did everything in his power to
relieve his sufferings, and late in the
evening, was reluctantly compelled to
amputate one of the fingers of the in
jured hand.
The many friends of this most esti-
mable young man will be panied to
learn Of Mr.. BonnelI's misfortune, as in
all probability the use of his hand has
been destroyed by this sad accident,
Mr. Bonnell served in the First Regi-
ment during the rebellion, with the
greatest credit, and suffered the untold
horrors of Libby, Andersonville, and
other hells for months, being spared to
return to his family and home, greatly
emaciated in form, SO much SO that his
nearest friends could scarcely recognize
him. He has, like good many other
brave men, never recovered from his
sufferings inflicted by Hog Winder,
Brute Turner, and Fiend Wirz, custo-
dams Of our prisoners of war.

lsagn One of the editors of the Newark
Journal resides in this city. He says:
There is nothing to induce the citi-
zens of Elizabeth to make their pur.
chases in New York Our stores abound
with every thing within the range of the
most capricious wants, and furnished
as cheaply as they can be had i'll New
York city itself. It is the interest OF
all, nay, their duty, to support and en-
courage their own enterprise. By SO
doing it confers double blessing"
Right, Colonel: The DAILY MONITOR

We agree with you. We have all that
is desired to make our beautiful city
prosperous. We ask and expect our
people to patronize our own dealers
this done, all will be well.

aeAp Two boys about IA years of age
were arrested yesterday by officers
Tuite and Booth for drunkenness and
disorderly conduct. They were in a
beastly state of intoxication but knew
just enough to swear very badly. They
were taken before Justice Furman, who
imposed fine of three dollars each.
The authorities have learned where
they obtained the liquor, which crazed
these youth, and caused them:to act in
such a shameful and disgraceful man
ner on the Sabbath day, and the par
ties will be dealt with according to law.
