ROBBERY ON NORTH SECOND STREET.-Some
time this morning the clothing establishment of
Messrs. Aschenbach S Hahn, No. 351 N. Second
street, was robbed of $500 worth of cloths vest
patterns, etc. 1t appears that the policeman in
this section has beat to patrol extending from
Vine to Poplar streets, and some party, evidently
well posted, watched his chance, hurled a
cobble-stone through the large plate glass
window, shivering 1t to atoms, waited until he
found that the noise had alarmed no one, aud
then crept in and robbed the store. That he did
not obtain more booty was his own fault, as
there was exposed in the place over $1,000
ex-policeman named William Crib is employed
as private watchman on this one square, and
yet heard or saw nothing of the affair.
TEARING Down CRY PRopERTY.-The work
of demolishing the bHilding until recently occu-
pied by the Union League of the Nineteenth
ward, in the centre of York street, facing the
Frankford road, has been commenced by order
of City Councils. The structure has long been
an eye-sore to the residents of that section of
the city, and Councils passed bill some months
since ordering the property taken down and
the street made entirely open. The, Union
League of the ward has removed TO more COM
modious quarters in Temperance Hall, No. $40
York street, where every preparation is being
made for the convenience and comfort of the
members. A reading-room is being fitted up in
excellent style, and other improvements are
contemplated. The new League house will be
thrown on Monday evening next.
AT LAsT.-About one month ago DR.. Foley
whilst returning from professional visit was
assaulted about o'clock A. M, on Sixteenth,
between Race and Vine streets, knocked down,
badly beaten, and robbed of gold watch and
| chain valued at $500, and two fine finger rings.
| The robbers succeeded in escaping, and nothing
| more was heard of them until last night, when
| Officer McGarry, of the Eighth district sue
| ceeded in arresting one of the supposed guilty
! ones. The prisoner is named Charles Evans,
| and on him was found one of the rings stolen
! from the Doctor. He will have hearing before
Alderman Toland to-day.
THE BEDFoRD STREET MISSION makes an
appeal to the charitable which, we trust, will be
responded to without delay. The supply of Goa
| will be exhausted tomorrow. Three or foul
tons are needed at once. When those who enjoy
all the comforts and luxuries of life recall the
good work in which the mission Is engaged, anC
the excellent results which spring from It, they
will surely not hesitate to meet this light deman(
upon their kindness. The contributions can b'
sent to the Rev. j. d. Long, at the Mission
House, No. 619 Bedford street.
THE MERCANTILE LIBRARY.--A meeting o
the stockholders of the Mercantile Library Com
