ion that one of the operators hid himself
in the store prior to closing up at night
and that he admitted his partners
through the back door Of the second
story, as neither lock, bolt or bar was
touched, except on that door, and some
OF the papers taken from the safe were
found near this door, where the bur-
glars had dropped them. They had
stolen q stone pick, hammer and CROW
bar from Muldoon's marble chop, and
with the stone-pick forced hole
through the iron door of the safe and
then blew the lock off. 1t would ap

are still some pretty clever operators

to get int business again. rs,I =

How MARBLES ARE MADE.-The chief
place of the manufacture of marbles"
those little pieces of stone which con-
tribute so largely to the enjoyment of
young America" is at Oberstein, on
the Maize in Germany, where there are
large agate mills and quarries, the re-
fuse of which is carefully turned to
good paying account by being made
into the small balls employed by ex-
perts to knuckle with, which are most
~ sent to the American market. The
substance used in Saxony is hard cal
carious stone, which is first broken into
blocks, nearly square, by blows with a
hammer. These are thrown by the one
hundred or two hundred into small
sort of mill, which is formed of fiat,
stationary slab of stone, with num-
Der of concentric burrows upon its face.
A block of oak, or other hard wood, of
the same diametric size, is placed over
the stones and partly resting upon
them. The small block of wood is kept
revolving while the water flows upon
the stone slab. In about fifteen min
utes the stones are turned to spheres,
and then, being fit for sale, are hence
forth called marbles" oae establish
nent, containing only three of these
mills, will turn out fully sixty thousand
marbles in each week. Agates are
made into marbles" at 0berstein by
first chipping the piecesineatly round
with hammer, handled by skillful
workman, and then wearing down the
edges upon the surface of a large grind

DEATH BY DROWNING.

Our citizens were startled on Satur-
day morning with the report that Alex
ander Gibson, an old citizen, aged about
30 years, had been drowned in the river
at the foot of jefferson street, above the
bridge. On repairing to that locality,
we found q large crowd gathered upon
the river bank, and Robert Sweeney,
Esq dragging the river in the hope of
finding the body. From Mr.. Sweeney
the relatives of the deceased, and those
who saw the drowned man in the
water, we gather the following particu-
lars: h-.
Mr.. Gibson had for q long time been
afflicted with epileptic fits. His ply
sician had recommended that his head
be freely bathed in cold water, and he
has lately taken notion that the water
in the river was colder than that taken
from the hydrant, and has expressed the
wish to have his head bathed in the
river. 80
The back fence of the yard Of the
residence of his brother, Robert Gibson,
Esq, with whom he lived, skirts the
river, ard on Saturday morning, about
9 o'clock the unfortunate manlwent out
into this back yard, took off bis coat,
vest and shoes, broke off paling from
the fence, and got out on to log lying
with one end against the bank, without
being observed by his family, who,
were very watchful of him, usually
Going ont on the log he fell into
the river.
Persons crossing the suspension
bridge saw the man struggling in the
water and cody stood by and asked one
another What can that man be doing
in the water this cold weather ?" nor
until it was evident that the man was
drowning was movement made for his
assistance. Then it was too late. %
Up to this writing the body has not
been discovered, though vigorous search
is being made for it. The deceased was
a man of six feet in height; had black
hair, though eighty years old, and was
dressed in black cashmere pants and a
white shirt.
