SECOND YIslr,-We made an item

SECOND VIslr.-We made an item a
couple of weeks ago about some fellow
breaking into the Office Of the Virginia
Planning Mill, D street. Virginia, and
stealing n small tin hand trunk, which
he took outside and smashed open, but
only got AS a reward for his trouble two
cheap ~jacknives. The same enterpris-
ing scamp or some other like him, tried
it on again two or three nights ago
about | o'clock. He worked and pried
away at the door for some time, but it
was so securely fastened that he had to
force the hinges. The door gave way
and fell inside, making such n noise
that the clerk, Mr.. Leason, who was
sleeping in tho rear loom Of the office,
was alarmed, and came with a revolver
and fred two or three shots at tho
burglar as he ran off down street. He
has had hard luck with that Office, and
he had better give it up. 1t won't pay
to try it a third time.
BuGGY OLD SUoAR.-0no Of the lead
ing editorials in yesterday mornings
Enterprise winds up with the following
note: "Professor Cameron says it is
no exaggeration to say that every
pound or raw or unrefued sugar on
tains 100, 900 of these insects. In 10
grains Of it he estimated 500, most Of
which were visible to the naked eye.
Our readers may now discuss their
coffee this morning with what relish
they may. We shall take ours clear
That editor man must get some terribly
mean sugar at his boarding house. We
take sugar in ours, every time, but
none of that kind, if you please. Our
landlady serves US with the best re-
fined article. The kind he speaks Of is
only safe to use in whisky toddies, and
we would recommend him TO use good
white refined sugar even for that.
Thar PIASo.-The splendid piano
which was destroyed in the burning Of
Scott's American Exchange at Virginia
last Friday night, was worth nearly
$500, and wal owned by Dale Il Co., q
street, opposite Wells, Fargo 4 Co.
Dale & Co. do quite an extensive bust
ness in the renting of pianos, rs we'll
as in the sale of all kinds OF musical
instruments, sheet music comprising
all the popular ballads and other har-
monies of the day, fancy goods of every
description, and all that sort Of thing.
MUDDY.--The stormy weather of this
morning made the streets very sloppy,
and Main street especially so. The
quartz teams are cutting it up into deep
ruts again, and Doug, the festive bus
driver, swears that his team finds it
about as tough pulling going up to Vir-
ginia as they care to encounter. 1t
seems hardly possible that the road was
dusty three or four days ago.
VINO WINS THE WATCH?-Thc chances
are now all taken in the bestowal of that
elegant gold watch aud chain which
was put up ut chance disposal during
the recent Methodist Festival At Thcatcr
